Specimen is a pre-workout formula designed to energize, hydrate, and increase power output. With far-out flavors and a fully disclosed ingredient panel, we decided to take your typical pre-workout formula and turn it up a few notches with even greater energy levels and enhanced the mind-muscle connection to take you and your workouts from mediocre to exceptional!
WHY WOULD I TAKE IT?
Ever get that feeling at the end of your workday where you’re wondering if you have the energy to even go to the gym? That’s where Specimen shines! Not only does it have enough caffeine to get you off the couch and in the car, but it also gives enough power to take you through your most strenuous workouts.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Specimen V2 works mostly by promoting hydration, vasodilation, and higher energy output. This works through the use of our comprehensive electrolyte blend in combination with osmolytic agents such as taurine, betaine, and glycerol.
HOW DO I TAKE IT?
Specimen is best taken 30-45 minutes prior to exercise. You can either take 1 scoop or 2 scoops dissolved into 16oz (500mL) of water, and mix vigorously!

Plasm Caps
WHAT IS IT?
Plasm Caps is a non-stimulant nitric oxide capsule that is designed to improve endurance, blood flow, and overall vasodilation to the extremities. This can also be used as an additive to any stimulant pre-workout to obtain better pumps and blood flow, but differs from Plasm Surge in its ability to produce nitric oxide in complementary - yet separate mechanisms.
WHY WOULD I TAKE IT?
Though Plasm Surge is a fine nitric oxide boosting formula, some people want the pump even more. Plasm Caps provides a comprehensive nitrate-based formula that compliments the pathways utilized in Plasm Surge to bring you even more nitric oxide and even more intense pumps while exercising
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Plasm Caps facilitates the creation of higher nitric oxide levels - this is accomplished through symbiotic nitrate reductase activity and endogenous antioxidant enzymes that produce nitric oxide from dietary nitrates. For a more comprehensive breakdown see: (link to longer writeup)
HOW MUCH SHOULD I TAKE?
Plasm Caps (4 capsules) are best taken 30-45 minutes prior to exercise.
