STRONG AF Pre-Workout

POWERFUL PRE-WORKOUT: Formulated with clinically research ingredients at effective doses STRONG AF leverages multi-pathway synergy to optimize muscle strength, workout intensity, cognitive focus, energy, enhanced blood flow, muscle pumps, and testosterone for maximum workout performance, muscle building and recovery.

EXPLOSIVE STRENGHT AND POWER: Clinically validated doses of Creatine, Shilajit and Alpha-GPC work synergistically to increase ATP production, mitochondrial respiration and muscle motor neuron activation boosting the force-generating capacity of skeletal muscle tissue and power output during training

MUSCLE ENDURANCE AND REDUCED FATIGUE: Clinical doses of Beta Alanine and Citrulline Malate work synergistically to buffer lactate and maintain pH balance to increase muscle endurance and delay muscle fatigue. Plus, Pink Himalayan Salt provides electrolytes for sustained optimal muscle function.

ENERGY, FOCUS AND MOTIVATION: Clinically effective doses of Alpha-GPC, DMAE and Caffeine stimulate the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and catecholamine for powerful neuromuscular activation and adrenergic signaling for a powerful sustained   boost in energy, focus and motivation during your workouts.

MUSCLE BUILDING HORMONE OPTIMIZATION: STRONG-AF combination of Shilajit and Alpha-GPC helps enhance key regulators of muscle building by increasing testosterone and lowering cortisol.

ENHANCE MUSCLE PUMPS, KREB CYCLE AND NUTRIENT DELIVERY: High doses of Citrulline Malate provides multiple functions. The citrulline component boosts nitric oxide for improved blood flow which increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue. While the malate helps support the Kreb Cycle to fuel ATP production and energy.

Shilajit is a potent natural substance with incredibly valuable benefits for athletes. Research shows that STRONG AF 500mg clinical dose can have a huge impact on muscle building , strength and performance

Study 1: "Effects of Shilajit on Strength and Endurance" Journal of Ethnopharmacology

This study involved a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a sample of 50 male participants aged between 20 and 35 years. Participants were divided into two groups: one receiving 500 mg of Shilajit daily and the other receiving a placebo. The trial lasted for 8 weeks, with muscle strength and endurance tests conducted before and after the supplementation period.

Findings: Increase in Muscle Strength: Participants in the Shilajit group showed a significant increase in muscle strength compared to the placebo group. On average, the Shilajit group saw a 20% increase in their one-rep max for bench press and squat exercises.

Enhanced Endurance: The Shilajit group also demonstrated a notable improvement in endurance, with an average increase of 15% in the time to exhaustion during a treadmill test.

Reduced Fatigue: Participants reported reduced muscle fatigue, allowing them to train harder and recover more efficiently.

Study 2: "Shilajit Supplementation for Enhanced Recovery in Athletes" International Journal of Sports Medicine

The study followed 40 professional athletes over a 12-week period. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either 500 mg of Shilajit daily or a placebo. Recovery times were monitored using biomarkers of muscle damage (creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels) and self-reported soreness.

Findings: Faster Recovery: Athletes in the Shilajit group experienced significantly faster recovery times. Biomarker analysis showed a 25% faster reduction in creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels post-exercise compared to the placebo group.

Reduced Muscle Soreness: Self-reported muscle soreness was lower in the Shilajit group, with participants indicating a 30% decrease in perceived soreness 48 hours after intense workouts.

Improved Training Continuity: The faster recovery allowed athletes to maintain a higher frequency and intensity of training sessions without prolonged breaks for recovery.

Study 3: "Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties of Shilajit" Journal of Medicinal Food

The study involved both in vitro and in vivo tests. In vitro tests measured the anti-inflammatory response of Shilajit on cultured human muscle cells, while in vivo tests involved 30 participants who supplemented with 500 mg of Shilajit daily for 8 weeks. Inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6) and oxidative stress markers (MDA, SOD) were measured before and after supplementation.

Findings: Anti-inflammatory Effects: In vitro tests showed a 40% reduction in inflammatory markers in muscle cells treated with Shilajit. In vivo, participants exhibited a 30% decrease in CRP and IL-6 levels, indicating reduced systemic inflammation.

Antioxidant Protection: Oxidative stress markers improved significantly in the Shilajit group. MDA levels, which indicate lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, decreased by 35%, while SOD levels, an important antioxidant enzyme, increased by 25%.

Muscle Cell Protection: The combined anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Shilajit helped protect muscle cells from damage, promoting quicker and more efficient recovery.

Alpha-GPC is a naturally occurring choline compound that serves as an efficient precursor to acetylcholine — a key neurotransmitter involved in cognition, neuromuscular function for strength and coordination, and hormonal signaling. Research shows that STRONG AF 600mg dose can have a big impact enhancing an athletes mental performance, physical output, and improved hormonal responses associated with training and recovery.

Study 1 “Enhanced Growth Hormone Response & Strength Output” Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN)

One of the most cited human studies on 600 mg of Alpha-GPC investigated its effects when taken 90 minutes before resistance exercise (Smith machine squats + explosive bench press throws):

Findings: Enhanced GH Levels Subjects receiving 600 mg Alpha-GPC showed a ~44-fold increase in peak growth hormone (GH) after exercise compared to baseline, whereas placebo only increased ~2.6-fold. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.03).

Increases Strength The Alpha-GPC group also achieved ~14 % higher peak bench press force compared to placebo.

Study 2 Improved Strength & Force Production with Daily Dosing Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN)

Another well-controlled study examined the effects of 600 mg/day of Alpha-GPC for 6 days in healthy, resistance-trained males:

Findings: Increased Lower Body Strength After 6 days, those taking Alpha-GPC had significantly greater increases in lower-body isometric strength (mid-thigh pull) compared with placebo.

Increased Upper Body Strength Upper-body strength showed a positive trend but did not reach statistical significance.

Study 3 Cognitive and Neuromuscular Effects Nutrients

While many athletic benefits relate to strength and hormones, Alpha-GPC also impacts cognitive performance — which can translate into better decision-making, focus under pressure, and reaction time in competition:

Findings: Enhanced Cognitive Function Human studies have shown that Alpha-GPC supplementation — including at levels similar to those used in performance research — can significantly enhance cognitive test performance, such as processing speed and reaction time..

Neuromuscular Activation Alpha-GPC’s role as a bioavailable choline source, increasing acetylcholine synthesis in the nervous system and enhancing motor unit recruitment and neuromuscular communication
