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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20479615/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35599921/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21437603/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33388079/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26582972/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39683633/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31482309/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27164220/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26388707/

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:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24086396/

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.
