More in Performance
Other ingredients in the Performance category.
Arachidonic Acid (ARA)
Omega-6 fatty acid that amplifies exercise-induced muscle signaling. Increases training response but also inflammation.
BCAAs
A branched-chain amino acid blend in a 2:1:1 leucine-to-isoleucine-to-valine ratio, formulated in instantized (micronized) form for improved solubility. BCAAs support muscle protein synthesis and may reduce exercise-induced fatigue, though whole protein sources provide comparable benefits at lower cost.
Beetroot / Nitrates
Dietary nitrates converted to nitric oxide for improved endurance and blood flow. Can enhance exercise efficiency.
Beta-Alanine
Increases muscle carnosine for buffering acid during high-intensity exercise. Delays fatigue in 1-4 minute efforts.
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB)
Exogenous ketone body that can elevate blood ketone levels. Used for energy, cognitive function, and supporting ketogenic diets.
Betaine (TMG)
Methyl donor supporting strength, power, and body composition. Also important for homocysteine metabolism.
