Ingredient Breakdown
Every ingredient in New Standard Nutrition is included for a specific purpose and supported by peer-reviewed research. We believe transparency matters so you can see what’s in our formula and why it’s there.
L-Citrulline Malate
What it does:
L-Citrulline Malate increases nitric oxide production, which improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles. Studies show that this can enhance endurance performance and reduce perceived fatigue during high-intensity exercise.
Why it’s included:
Included to support increased muscular endurance, improved work capacity, and enhanced training performance, especially during prolonged or high-volume sessions.
Peer-reviewed research:
Beta Alanine
What it does:
Beta-alanine raises muscle carnosine levels, which helps buffer acid accumulation in muscles during intense exercise. Studies found that this buffering effect can delay fatigue during high-intensity efforts.
Why it’s included:
Included to support performance during short-to-moderate duration, high-intensity training such as resistance training, intervals, and conditioning work.
Peer-reviewed research:
Betaine Anhydrous
What it does:
Betaine anhydrous has been shown to improve strength, power output, and muscular endurance during resistance training. Research indicates it can enhance work capacity and support better performance during high-intensity exercise.
Why it’s included:
Included to help increase strength and power production, allowing for higher training volume and improved performance in the gym.
Peer-reviewed research:
L-Tyrosine
What it does:
L-Tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters involved in focus, alertness, and stress response. Supplementation has been shown to support cognitive performance under demanding conditions.
Why it’s included:
Included to help support mental focus, motivation, and cognitive resilience during intense training or stressful physical conditions.
Peer-reviewed research:
Caffeine
What it does:
Caffeine is a well-studied stimulant shown to improve alertness, reaction time, endurance performance, and perceived effort. It works primarily through antagonism of adenosine receptors.
Why it’s included:
Included to enhance energy, focus, and physical performance across a wide range of training styles, from resistance training to endurance exercise.
Peer-reviewed research:
Alpha GPC
What it does:
Alpha-GPC is a bioavailable choline source that supports acetylcholine production, a neurotransmitter critical for muscle contraction and cognitive function. Research suggests benefits for power output and cognitive performance.
Why it’s included:
Included to support mind-muscle connection, neuromuscular performance, and cognitive focus during training.
Peer-reviewed research:
Taurine
What it does:
Taurine plays a role in cellular hydration, calcium signaling, and antioxidant defense. Studies show supplementation has been associated with improved exercise performance and reduced oxidative stress.
Why it’s included:
Included to support muscular endurance, hydration, and overall training performance, particularly during intense or prolonged exercise.
Peer-reviewed research:
Theacrine
What it does:
Theacrine is a purine alkaloid shown to support energy, focus, and mood without the rapid tolerance commonly associated with stimulants like caffeine.
Why it’s included:
Included to provide sustained energy and cognitive support, complementing caffeine while helping reduce stimulant fatigue over time.
Peer-reviewed research:
Synephrine HCI
What it does:
Synephrine is a protoalkaloid that primarily stimulates beta-3 adrenergic receptors. Research shows that these are involved in fat metabolism and energy expenditure.
Why it’s included:
Included to support energy output and metabolic activity without the central nervous system overstimulation associated with harsher stimulants.
Peer-reviewed research:
AstraGin®
What it does:
AstraGin® is a patented blend of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus shown to enhance absorption of amino acids and other nutrients.
Why it’s included:
Included to support efficient absorption and utilization of key active ingredients in the formula, helping maximize the effectiveness of the pre-workout.

Huperzine A
What it does:
Huperzine A is a natural acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, helping maintain acetylcholine levels in the brain. Research has shown benefits related to memory and cognitive function.
Why it’s included:
Included to support focus, mental clarity, and cognitive performance during training sessions.
Peer-reviewed research:
Black Pepper Extract
What it does:
Black pepper extract provides piperine. Studies show piperine is a bioactive compound shown to enhance nutrient absorption and bioavailability in physically active individuals.
Why it’s included:
Included to support efficient uptake of the formula’s active ingredients, helping ensure the body can effectively utilize the nutrients provided.
