POWER &
ENDURANCE:
CREATINE
MONOHYDRATE
Creatine
works primarily by increasing ATP availability within the body’s
muscle cells. Creatine is also osmolytic, meaning it can draw
more water into the cell. This is the cause of the relatively
sudden increase in muscle size. Clinical dose of Creatine
Monohydrate is usually 5g per day but unfortunately, we don’t know
how much Creatine Monohydrate is actually in I Am God unless Insane
Labz comes out and tell’s us directly as they conceal the dose of
everything in a 9.3g proprietary blend. If it does actually include
the 5g of Creatine then well, not a lot of space left in the blend
for other stuff…
BETAINE
ANHYDROUS
Betaine
Anhydrous, also called Trimethylglycine, is becoming popular as a
pre-workout performance enhancer. Several studies have concluded
that Betaine is capable of increasing strength,muscle size and
enhancing aspects of recovery. We are used to seeing Betaine at
2.5g in fully dosed Pre-Workouts.
BETA-ALANINE
Beta-alanine
is a non-essential amino acid. Unlike most amino acids, it is not
used by the body to synthesize proteins. It works together with
histidine to produce carnosine. Which is stored in your skeletal
muscles to reduces lactic acid accumulation in your muscles
during exercise. This helps to improved performance. 3.2g of Beta
Alanine is the recommended dosage for full effect. And again
we just can’t be sure on the dosage provided in I AM
GOD.
L-TAURINE
L-Taurine
helps pull extra water in muscle cells, which supports hydration,
endurance, and gives some pretty sweet water-based pumps, there
also research that shows that Taurine can help to bolster your
focus during workouts. 1-2 grams is what we are expecting
here.
FOCUS:
L-TYROSINE
L-Tyrosine
is one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of
protein. Tyrosine works as a precursor to the
neurotransmitters Dopamine and Noradrenaline, which both are used
to help with focus, attention and motivation. They are also
the same neurotransmitters released by Caffeine consumption.
Tyrosine has been shown to support mood and cognitive function to
help keep you focused and on track during workouts. For Tyrosine to
be effective you will need above 1g.
DIMETHYLETHANOLAMINE
(DMAE)
Over the
years DMAE has become more popular as a nootropic supplement. It is
a cholinergic compound that aims to improve cognitive function. It
can potentially increase Acetylcholine brain levels and use it over
time is supposed to enhance cognitive function.
ENERGY:
CAFFEINE
What you are
getting here is a mix of 2 types of caffeine: caffeine anhydrous
and caffeine citrate which though all are generally speaking
designed to get you going, the mix is supposed to get you going for
longer periods and also prevent the post
workout crash.
AMPIBERRY
From what we
know it Is taken from a form of Juniperus communis. It is known to
decrease water weight and help assist in fat loss. It also can
provide a smooth energy curve if you combine it with
caffeine.
RAUWOLFIA VOMITORIA
EXTRACT (RAUWOLSCINE)
Rauwolscine
is used as a stimulant for burning fat. It is also capable of
helping increase your perceived levels of energy and focus.
Like AMPIBERRY people find that Rauwolscine works very well
combined with Caffeine.
The
Label’s Bottom Line
Where do we
start? Do we start with the fact that there are ZERO pump/N.O
boosters or with the fact that there’s really nothing too
spectacular on the panel or shall we just nail it down with that
fact that if you just add all the ingredients and assume they
are at clinical dose you get to way above 12 grams for active
ingredients, where the blend totals at 9.3g. Which means only one
thing – UNDER DOSED! And if this wasn’t
enough Insane Labz have the nerve to say that though the tub
is 25 servings, you should start with half a scoop.
Seriously?!
