Crea-TEN® contains the most effective forms of Creatine currently available. Due to global shortages and the fact that 5% will not use inferior forms of creatine, we have chosen to use the 9 best forms currently on the market. Crea-TEN® also contains our exclusive Creatine Accelerate Blend. This innovative formula optimizes absorption and dramatically improves endurance. That’s not all! It also increases hydration and cell volume. That means dramatic pumps! 

Crea-TEN® Legendary Series features a variety of flavors! If you thought it tasted good before, wait until you try it now. This is the classic Creatine formula created by the man himself, Rich Piana. Due to global shortages and the fact that 5% will not use inferior forms of creatine, we have chosen to use the 9 best forms of Creatine currently available. You can be sure that 5% Nutrition will stop at nothing to continue to bring you premium quality products, shortages be damned. Unlike other companies, we do whatever it takes to get the job done

Plus, this powerful supplement has one thing no one else has: our Creatine Accelerate Blend. This is what optimally absorbed Creatine is all about! If you want to talk about results, this is the formula for you. Creatine increases cell volume for huge pumps. It also stimulates muscle growth, extends endurance, and enhances strength. Plus, there’s no loading required! You only have to take it once a day!

It’s no wonder Creatine is usually one of the first supplements a bodybuilder or athlete tries. In fact, it’s a cornerstone product. You will no doubt find it in the supplement arsenal of most advanced bodybuilders and athletes.

There’s A Reason For That - It Works!
One of the things it does is help increase the muscle’s stores of phosphocreatine, a component of the ATP energy system. That means more training energy. You can get more reps with Creatine.

What else does it do? We thought you’d never ask. Creatine supports hydration and water-based pumps by pulling water into the muscle cells. This causes them to swell in size. And to think, you probably thought the only way to get a great pump was to use nitric oxide boosters. You can and you should, but don’t forget Crea-TEN®! This combo redefines how pumped you can get. Additionally, Creatine improves strength and supports muscle growth.^(1,2,3,4,5)

There’s Creatine, Then There’s 5% Nutrition Creatine!
Creatine Monohydrate falls a little short when it comes to absorption. We knew we found a better way - Crea-TEN®. This outstanding product solves the problem of poor absorption once and for all. The primary way we did this is by combining the 9 most effective forms of Creatine available. This creates an advanced blend that uses the most absorbable forms of Creatine. This alone makes Crea-TEN® an exceptional product.

We wanted to take it one step further, so we included our innovative Creatine Accelerate Blend. This ensures your muscles get the most out of our Creatine Blend. After all, it doesn’t matter how effective a supplement is if your body can’t absorb it.

One serving provides the following:

CREATINE BLEND – 5,000MG

Crea-TEN® Legendary Series is loaded with 9 of the most effective and well-absorbed versions of Creatine available. Here’s what’s in this powerful formula:

Creatine Monohydrate – This is the Creatine that started it all! Back in the early ’90s, it caused quite a revolution in the industry. Creatine Monohydrate is the most tested and proven form of Creatine available, bar none. That means it had to be in Crea-TEN®: Legendary Series! To improve the absorption of this classic, this patented version uses micronized particles. These smaller particles are much easier for the body to absorb.

Dicreatine Malate – Here’s a combination of Creatine and Malic Acid. This plays a role in the metabolism of ATP for energy. Dicreatine malate has all the benefits of monohydrate, plus it significantly increases endurance.

Tricreatine Citrate - Like Creatine Citrate, this is Creatine attached to citric acid. In this case, there are three creatine molecules. This combination improves absorption, and as noted below, is involved in the Krebs, or Citric Acid, Cycle of energy.

Creatine Citrate – This version combines Creatine and Citric Acid. As noted, this is a component of the Krebs Cycle. Also called the Citric Acid Cycle, this is an energy system that converts food into usable energy for the body. It’s tied into the ATP system of energy.⁽⁶⁾

Creatine Pyruvate – We’ve already seen that Crea-TEN® uses forms of Creatine that are directly involved in endurance. While Creatine is a cell volumizer, it’s also important for endurance. The more reps you can get, the better, right? Also, absorption is King in Crea-TEN®. That’s why this is such an effective product.

Creatine Ethyl Ester Hydrochloride – Here’s an early competitor of monohydrate. This form of Creatine was the first to target the absorption problems of the original Creatine. Since then, it’s still a popular alternative to Creatine Monohydrate. It helps transport Creatine directly into the bloodstream.

Creatine AKG – This is a version that attaches Creatine to an Alpha-Ketoglutarate molecule. This is another form that enhances training endurance.

Creatine Gluconate – Let’s travel back in time to when Creatine was a new supplement. Back then, it was recommended you take it with a simple sugar such as fruit juice. This enhanced absorption. With that in mind, here’s a version that targets fast absorption by attaching Creatine to glucose.

Creatine Phosphate - This is another version that deals directly with the ATP energy system. This also acts as an acid buffer. That means Crea-TEN®increases endurance in two ways.

CREATINE ACCELERATE BLEND – 1,580 MG

There’s no doubt that this Blend sets Crea-TEN® apart from the crowd. It consists of Taurine, Betaine, Gymnema Sylvestre, Banaba, and Fenugreek. To top it all off, there’s also Bioperine® Black Pepper. The entire Blend improves absorption and utilization of the ingredients.

Taurine – If you’re looking at the idea of cell volume, Creatine should be the first nutrient you think of. That’s because it created the term. What does cell volume mean? Simply, it means that water is pulled into the muscles. This causes them to swell in size. It’s also known as water-based pumps, and yes, there are cell volumizers in your favorite pump product. One ingredient often paired with Creatine to enhance this is taurine. Of course, we included it in Crea-TEN®: Legendary Series. There’s nothing like a great pump, right?

Betaine Anhydrous – This is an ingredient that’s become common in many pre-workouts and Creatine formulas. It appears to work well with Creatine. One reason is, like taurine and Creatine, betaine also pulls water into the muscles. In addition, it’s believed to increase strength and power.

Gymnema Sylvestre Extract – This is a herb that’s often in Glucose Disposal Agents. One thing it does is maintain even levels of blood sugar. Also, gymnema helps drive carbs into your muscle cells. Carbs pull in water for more muscle cell volume. As you can see, Crea-TEN®: Legendary Series supercharges cell volume and endurance, two of the primary effects of Creatine.⁽⁷⁾

Banaba Powder – Here’s another herb that enhances glucose delivery to your muscles. We mentioned two primary effects above. One of the keys to these benefits is absorption, and that’s what the Accelerate Blend is all about.

Fenugreek Seed Extract – You will usually find fenugreek in testosterone boosters. We’re using it here because it can reduce blood glucose levels. This means you’ll avoid unwanted insulin spikes.

BioPerine® Black Pepper – This is a popular and patented form of Black Pepper. It’s used in quite a few supplements to improve nutrient absorption.

If you’re serious about gains, you need to begin, live, and end your day in an anabolic state. And to do that, you need the support of ALL DAY YOU MAY® 10:1:1 Ratio BCAA recovery drink. Take control and maximize your muscle recovery and promote growth, and all with a drink that can be enjoyed throughout the day, between meals, and following a workout.

Unlike lesser quality BCAAs, ALL DAY YOU MAY® features several clinically-dosed ingredients to help you maximize your performance in the gym and throughout the day.

There are several high-powered ingredient blends to provide you with digestive enzymes, joint support, electrolytes, liver support, and an intracellular buffer led by beta-alanine to help you push past muscle fatigue. Did we mention that ADYM also tastes insanely good!

BCAA Blend – Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine – 6 Grams

Of the three BCAAs, Leucine is the one that has the most research supporting its ability to stimulate protein synthesis. We use an innovative 10:1:1 ratio which means you’re getting a HUGE 5-gram dose of this powerful anabolic activator in every serving for maximum effect. The additional two BCAAs work synergistically with Leucine to promote greater results than Leucine can by itself.⁽¹⁾

Essential Amino Acid Blend – Phenylalanine, Threonine, Lysine HCl, Histidine HCl, Tryptophan, Methionine – 205 mg

The latest clinical studies indicate that protein synthesis is stimulated to a greater degree if additional EAAs are included, which is why we have added them to the formula.⁽²⁾

Conditionally Essential Amino Acid Blend – Glutamine, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – 2,750 mg

What are CEAAs or Conditionally EAAs? They are amino acids that cannot be made by the body under certain conditions, such as stress. We can’t think of anything more stressful than the brutally tough workouts you put yourself through several times a week so to us it makes perfect sense to include them in ADYM.

Glutamine - A big part of dealing with the stress of an intense workout is recovery and that’s where the amino acid Glutamine helps you remain in an anabolic state. It also works synergistically with the BCAAs to stimulate protein synthesis, act as an anti-catabolic during training, and promote post-workout recovery.⁽³⁾

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – We’ve included this version of Carnitine because it supports testosterone production and it doesn’t get any more anabolic than that!

Amino Acid Support Blend – Taurine, Raw Coconut Water Concentrate, HICA, Bromelain, Blueberry Fruit Powder – 960 mg

Taurine – This is a popular amino acid that’s often included in energy drinks and pre-workouts. We’re using it here for its powerful cell volume effects. Taurine pulls water into the muscles, hyper-hydrating them and blowing them up big time!

Coconut Water Concentrate – If you’re sweating, it means you’re working hard. It also means you’re losing electrolytes. If you don’t replace the electrolytes you’ve lost, you risk muscle cramps as well as dehydration. Coconut Water is a complete fluid replacement ingredient: it has vitamins, key electrolyte minerals, anti-oxidants, amino acids, and enzymes for advanced hydration.

HICA (Alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid) – This is a metabolite of Leucine that works synergistically with the BCAAs & EAAs to stimulate protein synthesis. Additionally, it binds ammonia in the muscles during hard training thereby blocking fatigue.⁽⁴⁾

Blueberry Fruit – This is amongst the most effective antioxidants on the market and helps your immune system combat workout-induced free radicals.

Bromelain – This is the digestive enzyme that’s found in pineapple and has been added to ADYM to help you digest the high levels of protein most bodybuilders consume.

Intra-Cellular Buffer Blend – Beta-Alanine, Dicalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate – 800 mg 

Because the act of training is catabolic it tears down muscle tissue and drains glycogen stores. Your muscles react and a spike in lactic acid levels occurs, downing pH levels to prevent your muscles from enduring more damage. You know this as "muscle failure". We want to interrupt this process so you can push past the point of failure and keep going deep into the growth zone.

The intra-cellular buffer helps to form a barrier between your muscles and this dramatic increase in lactic acid as your pH levels decrease in an attempt to halt the muscle breakdown.

Joint & Liver Support Blend – D-Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium, MSM, Milk Thistle – 650 mg

You hit it hard every time you walk in the gym and strap on your belt. You can bet your muscles aren’t the only thing taking a beating. Your joints are too – your knees, elbows, and shoulders the most. That’s why ADYM includes a joint support complex and we’ve used two of the most powerful joint ingredients available.

Rich Piana 5% Nutrition Full As F*ck is an advanced pump pre-workout formula that uses active ingredients designed to increase nitric oxide levels and muscle cell volume, so your working muscles look Full As F*ck!

When you're attacking the weights with everything, you've got there's no feeling more satisfying than an extreme pump in the working muscles. An excellent muscle pump can transform your physique right before your eyes, forcing your muscles to look FULL AS F*CK. There's more than just a visual benefit to a great pump because the extreme increase in blood flow carries needed nutrients and oxygen to your working muscles so you can perform at your best all workout long.

Of course, many bodybuilders and athletes search the market for the most extreme pump enhancing product they can find. Full As F*ck is the product you want if you want the ultimate pump enhancer. Full As F*ck gives you fully disclosed, mega doses of nitric oxide and cell volume enhancing ingredients all designed to ramp up N.O. production and fill your muscles with water for the ultimate pump experience. 

L-Citrulline - 4 Grams
We're not talking about Citrulline Malate here; we're talking about pure L-Citrulline. Many of those other pump products combine Citrulline with Malic Acid. If you take a closer look, you'll see that Malic Acid tends to make up most of the total Citrulline content of this product. Citrulline is an essential part of this active ingredient lineup because it converts to Arginine in the liver and promotes longer-lasting, more intense pumps than Arginine itself.⁽¹⁾ Full As F*ck contains 100% pure L-Citrulline in a very generous 4-gram dose. 

L-Taurine - 2 Grams
Taurine seems to be in quite a few supplements lately, almost always pre-workouts and energy drinks. Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid found predominantly in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles of the body. Taurine reduces the nerve impulses in the brain that increase blood pressure, thereby reducing resistance to blood flow. Additionally, Taurine acts to increase muscle cell volume by helping to draw water into the muscles.⁽²⁾

AgmaMax Agmatine Sulfate - 1 Gram
If you want to talk about getting a great pump, one of the first ingredients you'll take a look at is Agmatine Sulfate. This powerful ingredient is generally considered to be one of the more effective pump producers on the market. Agmatine is derived from Arginine and can promote powerful, long-lasting pumps by extending the effects of Arginine.⁽³⁾

Glycerol Monostearate - 1 Gram
Glycerol Monostearate increases muscle cell volume by binding with and pulling water into the muscles for dramatically increased muscle cell volume. Also, Glycerol improves hydration and increases levels of endurance.⁽⁴⁾

Dan-Shen Extract - 650 mg
Also known as Red Sage, this powerful herbal extract has been used in Chinese medicine for literally thousands of years.

Beet Root Powder - 500 mg
Research has indicated that Beet Root increases blood flow because of the high levels of nitrates it contains. Additionally, Beet Root improves exercise performance and lowers levels of fatigue.⁽⁶⁾

L-Norvaline - 250 mg
Arginase is an enzyme that can limit the production of nitric oxide which means your pump is not as extreme as it could be – no one wants that! The good news is you can block this enzyme with L-Norvaline thereby extending the effects of nitric oxide.⁽⁷⁾

Hesperidin - 100 mg
This ingredient is a heart-healthy flavonoid that's associated with Vitamin C and known to enhance blood circulation.⁽⁸⁾

BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract - 5 mg
BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract significantly improves the absorption of the other nutrients paired with it and has been utilized in this manner for over 20 years. Increased absorption translates to enhanced activation of ingredients, allowing you to achieve the most extreme muscle pump possible when using Full As F*ck.

AgmaMax Agmatine Sulfate
This version of Agmatine Sulfate uses a unique manufacturing process to create the purest Agmatine available.

If you want to keep growing, you need to recover as hard as you train. Drink Sleep Grow was designed to stimulate muscle growth no matter what time it is!

BCAA Blend 
L-Leucine (Active TR™), L-Isoleucine, L-Valine – 6 grams

Drink Sleep Grow^® contains an advanced BCAA Blend that stands out from the crowd with a timed-release form of L-Leucine known as L-Leucine (Active-TR™). This advanced form of Leucine is time-released and only starts the absorption process approximately 2 hours after ingesting, making it ideal for nighttime use. This translates into an extended stimulation of protein synthesis in the body and the ultimate support for muscle growth and recovery.⁽¹⁾

Growth Hormone Recovery Blend
L-Glutamine, GABA & Mucuna Pruriens – 3.6 grams

Glutamine - A big part of dealing with the stress of an intense workout is recovery and that’s where Glutamine comes in. This is an amino acid that can help keep you in an anabolic state and it’s no coincidence that it works synergistically with the BCAAs to stimulate protein synthesis, act as an anti-catabolic during training, and promote post-workout recovery.

GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) – This is a non-protein amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. This means that it helps to promote relaxation, which is critical to being able to fall asleep every night. Often used as a sleep aid, research indicates it also stimulates GH release.^(2,3)

Mucuna Pruriens - This Ayurvedic herb is a natural source of L-Dopa which is a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in the release of GH.^(4,5)

Conditionally Essential Amino Acid Blend
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate & Milk Thistle Extract – 1,050 mg

When you think of Carnitine you usually think of the transport of fats. Well, we have included this version of Carnitine because it also supports testosterone production and has anti-catabolic properties.

Joint Support Blend
D-Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) – 600 mg

Healthy joints are an essential aspect of your success in the gym. While you can take a joint support formula during the day (we have our own, such as Joint Defender), why not replicate many of those same benefits while you sleep? It’s for that reason we’ve added a Joint Support Blend to Drink Sleep Grow^®. After all, your joints need to recover too.

Essential Amino Acid Blend
L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Histidine, L-Methionine – 155 mg

The latest clinical studies indicate that protein synthesis is stimulated to a greater degree if additional EAAs are included, which is why we have added them to the formula. You can count on 5% Nutrition when it comes to staying on top of the most recent research.

Rich Piana 5% Nutrition's Freak Show® is the Most Powerful Insulin Mimicker Available! What if you could use a product that could utilize those excess carbs for muscle growth and glycogen replenishment instead of fat storage? Now you can, thanks to 5% Nutrition!

The Most Powerful Insulin Mimicker Available!

Isn't it amazing how quickly carbs became the "enemy"? The truth is, if you're hunting gains, you need quality carbs to help you build maximum muscle. After all, carbs are the preferred fuel source of the body. That's the energy your muscles use to power you through your workouts. The thing is, too many carbs and you risk the excess being stored as fat. The question is, how can you eat the carbs you need without fear of creating excess fat storage?

What if you could use a product that could utilize those excess carbs for muscle growth and glycogen replenishment instead of fat storage? Now you can, thanks to Rich Piana 5% Nutrition and the new Freak Show®. Leave it to 5% Nutrition to create an innovative formula that mimics the power of insulin without the downside. You know 5% Nutrition, so you can expect an epic, overdosed product using only the most effective ingredients and designed to make use of and control those extra carbs!

Anabolic Power

The key to what happens in the body when you eat a lot of carbs lies in the body's own hormones. Insulin is one of the body's primary anabolic hormones and some will say it's the most powerful – yes, even more, powerful than testosterone. That may be, but insulin is like a double-edged sword – it can cut both ways. Despite its anabolic power, eat too many carbs throughout the day, especially simple carbs, and the result will be insulin spikes - which means fat gain. That's not the scenario we want!

Ah, but what about anabolic power! Insulin controls how the cells in your body absorb and utilize nutrients, such as carbs and protein. It also has a strong role in the process of protein synthesis. When you eat carbs, they not only help the process of muscle growth, they also pull water into your muscles which helps create that full as f*ck look every bodybuilder wants to see! So, carbs themselves are not the problem it's how insulin is produced and consumed in your body when you eat too many carbs which is the core of the issue.

Ingredients That Work

Thiamine (B1) 100 mg – A member of the B Complex family of vitamins, Thiamine is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates as well as BCAAs.⁽¹⁾ One of the functions of Thiamine is to bind with ATP to form thiamine diphosphate, which is a coenzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, this coenzyme plays a role in the utilization of pentose in the hexose monophosphate shunt, which is an alternative glucose oxidation pathway.

Gymnema Sylvestre 1,000 mg – This powerful insulin-enhancing herb originates in India and helps keep levels of blood sugar stable as well as drive carbs into your muscle cells which also pulls in lots of water for insane muscle fullness and it has the research to back it up.⁽²⁾

We’ve given you a huge 1g dose – we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Banaba Powder 500 mg – This is one of the most potent herbs available when it comes to insulin mimickers because it can enhance the delivery of glucose to your muscles, which means more energy to power you through your most brutal training sessions.⁽³⁾ It will also enhance your body’s sensitivity to insulin.

When it came to the dose, we didn’t mess around – we wanted dosages that will get the job done!

Berberine 350 mg – This powerful herb has earned quite a reputation for being extremely effective at reducing blood glucose and enhancing glucose absorption in your muscle cells.⁽⁴⁾ This is a serious glucose regulator meant for carb-heavy meals, so you can eat those pre-workout carbs and get them where they need to be – your muscles!

Cinnamon Extract 300 mg – This popular spice is not only a great addition to countless recipes and foods, it also has been clinically shown to lower levels of blood glucose.⁽⁵⁾

Bitter Melon (4:1) 300 mg – This is an age-old remedy used for respiratory problems. Clinical studies have shown that Bitter Melon can lower levels of blood glucose in the body, as well as increased serum levels of protein.⁽⁶⁾

Na-R[+]-Alpha Lipoic Acid 200 mg – Alpha Lipoic Acid is a fatty acid that occurs in the mitochondria of every cell in your body. It plays a primary part in energy metabolism and is also well-known as a potent antioxidant.⁽⁷⁾ This form attaches ALA to a sodium salt which makes it extremely soluble and much more bioavailable than regular ALA. 

Chromium 400 mcg – Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays a key role in insulin metabolism, in fact, it is absolutely required for insulin to function properly.

Fenugreek 100 mg  – Wait isn't that usually an ingredient found in test boosters? Yes, however, Fenugreek has also been shown to help lower levels of blood glucose so it's a natural fit for Freak Show®.⁽⁸⁾

There's No Comparison on the Market

It couldn't be more clear: there's no other insulin mimicker to compare with what Freak Show® provides. Effective dosing of ingredients clinically researched to perform. Freak Show® is a powerful formula that can take your gains to new heights!

Rich Piana 5% Nutrition Liquid L-Carnitine 3150 is a mega-dose formula and combines the four most effective forms of Carnitine with the powerful “Super Carnitine” ingredient Gamma-Butyrobetaine Ethyl Ester HCl (“GBB”) to create one of highest-performing liquid L-Carnitine products on the market today.

Liquid L-Carnitine 3150 is an advanced Carnitine formula that contains a massive dose of the four most effective forms of Carnitine available. In true 5% fashion, this formula goes further than the rest by featuring the innovative “Super Carnitine” or Gamma-Butyrobetaine Ethyl Ester HCl. Just as you’ve come to expect from 5% Nutrition, our liquid L-Carnitine 3150 contains an over-dosed amount per serving with 3,150 mg of this powerful Carnitine formula products on the market. Added together with the “Super Carnitine” GBB, creates an elite Liquid Carnitine formula. When it comes to promoting fat loss by converting stored fat into energy, stimulating thermogenesis, supporting recovery and muscle growth, it’s hard to beat Liquid L-Carnitine 3150!

Thiamin – 25 mg
Part of the water-soluble B-Complex family of vitamins and known as Vitamin B1, Thiamin helps the body utilize carbohydrates for energy.

Carnitine Blend – 3150 mg
This is a huge dose; no other Liquid Carnitine formula can touch it! Leave it to 5% Nutrition to create an innovative complex of four highly effective forms of Carnitine, each with their own benefits, and then tie it all together with the advanced ingredient GBB.

What is Carnitine? It’s a molecule derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine that’s naturally produced in the liver and kidneys. Typically but incorrectly classified as an amino acid, Carnitine enables the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria to be used as energy by the body.⁽¹⁾

As fatty acids are transported by Carnitine, they are converted into ATP through the process of beta-oxidation. This is an ongoing process that increases during intense exercise as fatty acids are burned for fuel. Carnitine is conditionally essential which equates to not everyone being able to reach adequate levels of the Carnitine by diet alone, thus supplementation is a good idea to support overall health.

Beyond supporting fat loss, Liquid L-Carnitine 3150 is a blend of several different Carnitines with each one providing unique benefits. Some of these benefits include increased endurance because fat is being converted into ATP energy which powers your muscles through your workouts, as well as nitric oxide stimulation, improved recovery and muscle growth support.⁽³⁾

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – Also known as LCLT, this form of Carnitine is absorbed faster than other forms and supports recovery as well as muscle growth.⁽⁴⁾ The primary way LCLT affects muscle growth is by increasing the androgen receptor that allows testosterone to work more effectively in the body which leads to improved recovery and the stimulation of lean muscle growth.⁽⁵⁾

Acetyl-L-Carnitine – Also known as ALCAR, this form of Carnitine has a wide range of benefits, such as supporting the metabolism of stored fat to be used in the production of ATP energy by the body. ATP is the energy your muscles use to power you through your workouts. ALCAR is also involved in the synthesis of acetylcholine which means it has cognitive benefits such as promoting a positive mood as well as supporting learning ability.⁽⁶⁾

Glycine Propionyl L-Carnitine – Also known as GPLC, this is a combination of Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLC) and the amino acid Glycine. This version not only supports the production of ATP energy by enabling the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria, it also promotes nitric oxide production for improved nutrient and oxygen delivery to your working muscles. Of course, you can expect a good pump.⁽⁷⁾

Gamma-Butyrobetaine Ethyl Ester HCl – Also known as GBB, this is a relatively new ingredient that’s earned the nickname “Super Carnitine” and is the molecule that your body converts into L-Carnitine when it’s producing its own Carnitine. Some studies are showing that plasma concentrations double after taking GBB which is one reason it’s earned the title “Super Carnitine”.⁽⁸⁾

GBB also has potent thermogenic properties, which is effective for stimulating fat loss because the core temperature of the body is increased and you end up burning more calories. Additionally, like GPLC, it also stimulates nitric oxide production.⁽⁹⁾

The benefits are clear. Liquid L-Carnitine 3150 not only stimulates the transport of fatty acids to be used as fuel by the body, but it also stimulates nitric oxide production which pushes the pump but also increases nutrient and oxygen delivery to your working muscles while removing waste products, thereby increasing performance and improving endurance. While this would be enough for most Carnitine products, we take it to the extreme by including LCLT to support testosterone production, and therefore recovery as well as muscle growth. Finally, the innovative GBB activates thermogenesis, which means Liquid L-Carnitine 3150 fights fat in multiple ways. This innovative formula comes in two delicious flavors: Watermelon Candy and Outrageous Orange.

Kill It is the original Rich Piana 5% Nutrition pre-workout that uses lower Caffeine with more pump and performance ingredients thereby creating a complete all in one pre-workout. This is the reboot of one of Rich's favorite products known for its great flavor and great pump!

When it comes to your pre-workout, you don’t want another product that is overloaded with stimulants yet offers little else. Kill It was created to give you enough energy and focus to push through your toughest workouts and at the same time power the pump as well as increase strength and improve performance. This makes Kill It a great first-time pre-workout as well as the right choice for bodybuilders that want less caffeine and more performance.

Creatine Blend – 1,500 mg

Leave it to Rich Piana 5% Nutrition to get this proven ingredient back in a pre-workout! The Kill It Creatine Blend combines Creatine MagnaPower®, Creatine Monohydrate, and Creatine Pyruvate to promote maximum endurance and improved strength as well as increased cell-volume and it does it without gastric discomfort or bloating.

Creatine MagnaPower – This is a trademarked form of Creatine that is bonded to Magnesium, an essential mineral required for nerve transmission and muscular contraction. This version improves Creatine’s absorption and utilization.

Creatine Monohydrate – This is a version of the original Creatine that started it all way back in the early 90’s, Creatine Monohydrate. This version is the most tested and proven form of Creatine on the market. To improve absorption, this uses micronized Creatine particles.⁽¹⁾

Creatine Pyruvate - This version binds Creatine with Pyruvate, another compound that’s involved in the Kreb’s Cycle.⁽²⁾

NO/Endurance Blend – 7450 mg

This potent Blend is a combination of pump and performance enhancers using proven, branded ingredients.

Beta-Alanine – This well-known ingredient works indirectly to buffer acid and reduce fatigue by increasing levels of carnosine in the working muscles thereby allowing you to push your reps and sets deep into the growth zone. Carnosine consists of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine, occurs naturally in the body, and is one of the primary compounds that buffers acid buildup in the working muscles.⁽³⁾

Taurine - Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid found predominantly in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles of the body. Taurine reduces the nerve impulses in the brain that increase blood pressure, thereby reducing resistance to blood flow. Additionally, Taurine acts to increase muscle cell volume by helping to draw water into the muscles.⁽⁴⁾

AgmaMax™ Agmatine Sulfate - Agmatine is a metabolite of L-Arginine, an amino acid that’s the original nitric oxide booster. Agmatine increases nitric oxide levels indirectly because it inhibits arginase, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of Arginine. This means longer and more “dense” pumps due to the extended nitric oxide effects.⁽⁵⁾

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine - This is the most bioavailable form of Tyrosine available which means a smaller amount is all that’s required to get the job done. Tyrosine is a very popular cognitive enhancer that increases levels of the neurotransmitters noradrenaline and dopamine. Increased levels of these neurotransmitters improve mood and focus while relieving feelings of anxiety as well as stress.⁽⁶⁾

COPMax™ Creatinol-O-Phosphate – Similar to Beta Alanine, COPMax buffers lactic acid thereby increasing workout performance and endurance. Additionally, it’s thought to increase anaerobic glycolysis which is another aspect of the ATP muscular energy system.
