Every bottle of Pulse is analyzed in a state-of-the-art ISO 17025 accredited lab to verify what is and isn’t in it. That way, you know exactly what you’re getting and putting into your body.
As with artificial sweeteners, studies show that artificial food dyes may cause harmful effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioural disorders.
That’s why we use natural colouring derived from fruits and other foods and natural flavouring.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.
That’s why we use the natural sweeteners stevia and erythritol instead. Studies show that these ingredients are not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better insulin sensitivity, a lower cholesterol profile, improved blood glucose control, potential anti-cancer effects, lower blood pressure and inflammation levels, and more.
Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is an amino acid found in foods such as beets, spinach, and quinoa. It is rich in a molecule called a methyl group, which plays a role in many physiological functions including DNA production, fat metabolism, and cellular energy production. Betaine also helps balance fluid levels in cells, making it beneficial during times of physical stress. Studies have shown that betaine can boost muscle endurance and increase strength. The recommended dose for betaine is between 1.25 and 2.5 grams.
- Increases power output
- Mitigates cognitive decline as we age
- Increases growth hormone levels
Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (alpha-GPC) is a compound made up of choline and glycerophosphate. Choline is essential for brain health and function, and glycerophosphate helps transport choline to the brain. When taken as a supplement, alpha-GPC increases the activity of acetylcholine in the brain, which helps nerves communicate with each other and supports brain health. Studies have shown that alpha-GPC can increase power output, mitigate cognitive decline, and increase growth hormone levels. The recommended dosage of alpha-GPC is between 150 and 1,200 milligrams. A dose of 250 to 500 milligrams is sufficient for cognitive benefits, while higher doses may be needed for dementia. A dose of 300 milligrams is included in the product as it is enough to provide benefits without using up too much of the budget. Additionally, this dose reduces the likelihood of headaches when using the product with other supplements.
- Reduces exercise-induced fatigue
- Improves anaerobic exercise capacity
- Increases potential workload, which can lead to an increase in lean mass
Beta-alanine is an amino acid that regulates the levels of the molecule carnosine in muscles. Carnosine reduces muscle acidity and increases the amount of work muscles can do before becoming fatigued. Studies have shown that supplementing with beta-alanine can reduce exercise-induced fatigue, improve anaerobic exercise capacity, increase potential workload leading to an increase in lean mass, and reduce feelings of fatigue during exercise. The recommended dosage of beta-alanine is between 2.6 and 6.4 grams. The product includes 3.6 grams of beta-alanine per serving as it provides significant performance benefits while minimizing the common and harmless side effects of mild skin tingling or itching.
- Improves muscle endurance
- Relieves muscle soreness
- Improves aerobic performance
Citrulline malate is a combination of the amino acid L-citrulline and malic acid, a natural substance found in fruits that helps create cellular energy. L-citrulline is converted to another amino acid, L-arginine, in the body, which increases the production of nitric oxide, a gas that widens blood vessels and improves blood flow. Studies have shown that supplementing with citrulline malate can improve muscle endurance, relieve muscle soreness and improve aerobic performance. The recommended dosage of citrulline malate is between 4 and 10 grams.
- Reduces the effects of mental stress
- Increases the production of nitric oxide, which improves blood flow
- When paired with caffeine, improves mood, memory performance, and attention
L-theanine is an amino acid found primarily in tea that is responsible for many of its health benefits. It helps balance the levels of two chemicals in the brain, glutamate and GABA, which transmit nerve impulses. Studies have shown that supplementing with L-theanine can reduce the effects of mental stress, increase the production of nitric oxide, which improves blood flow, and when paired with caffeine, improve mood, memory performance, and attention. The recommended dosage of L-theanine when combined with caffeine is between 1:1 and 2:1 theanine to caffeine. A ratio of 1:1 is optimal for working out as it may produce a calming effect.
Coffee is widely known as a morning pick-me-up, but caffeine is more than just a way to wake up. It also boosts metabolism, improves strength, promotes muscle endurance, and enhances anaerobic performance. The recommended dosage of caffeine for enhancing performance is between 3 and 6 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.
