It’s 30-60 minutes before your workout — that perfect window to reach for your pre-workout supplement. And if you’re drinking AMPED™ Nitro, you’ve chosen an ideal pre-workout. Isagenix formulated AMPED Nitro to energize your muscles, stimulate muscle growth, maximize your body’s response to exercise, and support blood flow.
And now, AMPED Nitro has been clinically demonstrated to improve exercise performance in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study from the University of Pittsburgh. The study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, reported that AMPED Nitro pre-workout supplement improved performance outcomes during a series of exercise tests (1).
“These results of improved exercise performance are particularly impressive considering the fitness of our subjects,” noted the study lead author, University of Pittsburgh researcher Brian J. Martin, Ph.D.
AMPED Nitro Significantly Improved Exercise Performance
In the study, researchers recruited 30 young, active men and women (15 each) who consumed AMPED Nitro or a calorie-matched placebo beverage just before and during a battery of anaerobic (power) and aerobic (endurance) exercise tests. They also measured the impact of the supplements on blood chemistry, vascular blood flow, and cognitive and mood responses.
The study found that supplementation with either AMPED Nitro increased anaerobic power and vascular blood flow when compared to the placebo. AMPED Nitro also increased aerobic endurance (VO2 peak time), suggesting that the subjects could perform the exercise test protocol for a longer duration.
As noted by co-author Paul Arciero, Ph.D., from Skidmore College, “The ~4% improvement by AMPED Nitro for both anaerobic and aerobic power may not seem like a significant improvement; however, these increases may be the difference between winning the 2016 Olympic 400-meter sprint or finishing in fifth place.”
There were no significant differences observed for cognition, mood, or anabolic hormones with any of the supplements.
AMPED Nitro: An Effective Pre-Workout To Maximize Your Athletic Potential
The findings from the University of Pittsburgh clinical study support the use of AMPED Nitro as an effective pre-workout to help optimize your athletic performance goals.
Isagenix formulated Watermelon Flavor AMPED Nitro with creatine, citrulline, and patented Nitrosigine®§§, along with additional bioactives to target multiple pathways during athletic performance. For example, caffeine from green tea leaves helps reduce fatigue during physical activity while promoting focus and alertness. Taurine, an amino acid-like natural substance, provides antioxidant activity while reducing exercise-induced muscle damage. Betaine is another amino acid-like ingredient that helps reduce muscle fatigue and increase power. Finally, beta-alanine provides a significant buffering effect within muscles, which may delay fatigue or muscle exhaustion.
For those who prefer a pre-workout without caffeine or beta-alanine, other supplement options may be appropriate. However, AMPED Nitro offers a comprehensive bioactive profile designed for both performance and daily wellness support.
In conclusion, whether you’re a weekend warrior or a trained athlete, these study results support choosing AMPED Nitro the next time you want tangible benefits for your workout routine!
