White Flood PreWorkout Net Wt. (0.9lbs) 399g, 30 Servings
Controlled Labs White Flood is everything you
would want in a pre-workout. Energy, focus, huge muscle pump and insane
strength. I loved this product. So much that I bought the 100 servings
container.

Magazine’s Encyclopedia of Supplements.
Key
Ingredients:
Citrulline
This amino acid is closely
related to arginine and is readily converted to arginine in the body. Research
shows that taking I citrulline increases arginine and NO levels E in the blood
better than taking arginine by I itself. It also helps prevent muscle fatigue
by i aiding in the removal of ammonia from the body, reabsorbing lactate for
increased ATP resynthesis during high-intensity workouts, and boosting muscle
protein synthesis via direct anabolic signaling. Citrulline malate elevates
muscle ATP by 35% during exercise and increases the rate of creatine phosphate
resynthesis by 20%.
Ornithine
Ornithine is an amino acid that
the body uses to form arginine as well as leucine and glutamine. Therefore, it
shares similar properties with these amino acids, such as increasing NO
production, energy, muscle recovery, and growth; blunting fatigue and muscle
breakdown; and improving immune function and fat burning. Taking ornithine and
arginine together has been shown to boost GH levels well.
Carnitine Tartrate
Carnitine is one of our favorite
compounds because its primary job in the body is to transport fat into
mitochondria (the furnace of cells), where it's burned for fuel. That explains
why carnitine has always been a popular fat-burning supplement, but it can also
aid testosterone. The aforementioned UConn study included carnitine in its
research on androgen receptors and found that taking supplemental carnitine
also increased the number of these receptors in muscle cells. Adding this
fat-burning powerhouse to your regimen could help you uncover your abs sooner
and make your muscles bigger.
Beta-Alanine
In the body, beta-alanine
combines with another amino acid, histidine, to form the dipeptide (two aminos
bound together) known as carnosine, also a component of vitamin B3. Research
shows that muscles with higher levels of carnosine can generate greater forceful
contractions for a longer period, resulting in superior strength, endurance,
and mass gains. In one study, subjects taking beta-alanine with creatine gained
more muscle and lost more fat than subjects taking just creatine.
Tyrosine
This amino acid is a true
pick-me-up, as it is known to increase energy, elevate mood, enhance mental
focus, and even aid fat loss. Tyrosine is used in the body to produce several
important hormones and neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and
epinephrine, as well as thyroid hormones. Studies show that having higher
epinephrine levels can help reduce fatigue. Research done on soldiers showed
that taking tyrosine improved their performance and stamina during strenuous
military activity.
NORVALINE
This derivative of the
branched-chain amino acid valine has been shown to boost NO levels by more than
50% on its own. It works by inhibiting the enzyme arginase, which normally
breaks down arginine in the body. Inhibition of this enzyme results in higher arginine
levels, which can lead to higher NO levels.
Beet
Root
Beets are natural nitric oxide
donors. They are a vegetable that are naturally high in nitrates. The nitrate load in the juice of beets (itself a root vegetable) may
significantly reduce blood pressure, hinting that beets can improve NO levels
in the body.
Gamma-Aminobutyric
Acid (GABA)
Actually classified as a neurotransmitter, studies show that
GABA increases the body's sleeping cycle; and getting a good night's sleep can
lead to more energy and higher levels of concentration throughout the day. In
addition, it reduces blood pressure and anxiety. Five grams can stimulate the
release of growth hormone within 30 minutes of ingestion.
Cocoa
Bean (Extracted For 99% Methylxanthines)
Stimulant that has caffeine and theobromine. An extract from cocoa that provides
all the benefits of chocolate without the sugar or fat chocamine contains a
number of active ingredients that help suppress appetite and enhance
metabolism, including caffeine, tyramine, theobromine, and phenylethylamine.
These components also boost energy and improve mood, concentration, and
alertness.
Evodia
Rutaecarpa (95% Evodiamine Extract)
This extract from the Evodia rutae-carpa fruit burns fat by
stimulating specific receptors in the central nervous system that boost
metabolic rate. Evodiamine also reduces hunger and slows the digestion of food,
which not only keeps you feeling fuller longer but also causes a slow and steady
release of glucose into the bloodstream, helping prevent insulin spikes that
could lead to greater fat storage.
Sugar
Cane (Extracted For 60% Octacosanol)
Octacosanol, an alcohol, is the main component of naturally
occurring wax in fruits and other plants. It has been shown to increase grip
strength, enhance reaction time, and even increase aerobic performance in
athletes. Although the exact mechanism for its effects is unknown, several
scientists suggest that octacosanol indirectly plays a role in strength development
by acting on the central nervous system (CNS).
Vinpocetine
Vinpocetine is a phytochemical that helps deliver more blood to
your brain and your muscles, as well as enhance energy production for better
focus, more energy, and even bigger muscle pumps during workouts. It has also
been shown to strengthen nerve impulses, resulting in stronger muscle
contractions as well as a sharper mind.
Huperzia
Serrata (Extracted For 99% Huperzine A)
Huperzine A is an extract from the Chinese club moss plant.
Although it has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine as a fever
reducer, modern science has largely revealed the supplement's role in enhancing
brain function. Huperzine A works by preventing the breakdown of an important
nerve stimulator called acetylcholine. The more acetylcholine, the more alert
the brain. DOSAGE: 50mcg up to three times per day.
