PREWORKOUT:
Since reduced dopamine levels within the CNS decrease motivation and performance while inducing fatigue, novel ways to increase dopamine production before your workout should boost exercise performance. The consumption of the dopamine precursor tyrosine was recently shown to provide this benefit in a double-blind study, confirming that tyrosine consumption influences the ability to tolerate prolonged exercise, conceivably by increasing dopamine levels. AML Preworkout combines tyrosine with folic acid, which may further increase dopamine by increasing tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) levels. As a co-factor for tyrosine hydroxylase, BH4 facilitates the conversion of tyrosine to L-dopa, which is a precursor to dopamine. The tropical plant mucuna pruriens is also found in AML Preworkout. This ingredient is loaded with the dopamine precursor L-dopa, which has been shown to effectively increase diminished dopamine levels in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
POST WORKOUT:
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most well characterized muscle-building supplements on the market. Numerous studies over the years have shown the positive influence of creatine monohydrate supplementation on high-intensity exercise performance. This body of evidence indicates that creatine supplementation may increase power output during intense exercise, while also stimulating muscle hypertrophy. Creatine also drives muscle growth by triggering many different cellular mechanisms, including the stimulation of muscle cell formation and increased muscle protein synthesis.*
