Ingredient science

Cross-referenced with PubMed & Examine.com

✓No flagged ingredients detected
Creatine Monohydrate5g
✓ Proven

The most researched sports supplement: 3–5g a day raises muscle creatine stores, improving repeated high-intensity efforts and supporting strength training and recovery.

FORTIGEL® Hydrolyzed Collagen5.2g
~ Likely

Collagen peptides studied for joint comfort and connective tissue; several trials report less activity-related joint pain at around 5g a day, though effects are modest.

L-Glutamine4g
~ Likely

Fuel for the cells lining the gut; may help maintain the gut barrier under heavy training. Little direct effect on performance.

PeptiStrong™ Fava Bean Protein Hydrolysate2.4g
~ Likely

A plant peptide blend marketed to support muscle protein synthesis; early research is promising but mostly from small studies.

Taurine2g
~ Likely

May reduce exercise-related oxidative stress and modestly improve endurance performance at 1–3g; results across studies are mixed.

Joint Support (Tendaxion®, N-Acetyl-Glucosamine, Mobilee® Hyaluronic Acid)520mg + 500mg + 71mg
~ Likely

Ingredients aimed at tendons, cartilage and joint lubrication. Plausible mechanisms and some supportive studies, but evidence in athletes is limited.

Gut Support (DGL Licorice Root, Aloe Vera)400mg + 75mg
~ Likely

Traditionally used to soothe the gut lining; mechanisms are plausible, but controlled trials in athletes are few.

Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate) + Vitamin A (as Palmitate)10mg + 600mcg RAE
✓ Proven

Both support immune function and tissue repair; athletes can lose zinc in sweat. Useful if your diet is short on them.
