What is beta-alanine and why is it included in Black Blood NOX+?
Beta-alanine is an amino acid derivative that is often added to pre-workouts and is popular with athletes who train with purpose.
Is this product suitable for use in the evening?
Due to the high caffeine content, use late at night is discouraged. This can affect sleep if taken too late. Preferably, use it during the day or early evening for early evening training sessions.
What are BCAAs and why a 4:1:1 ratio?
BCAAs consist of leucine, isoleucine and valine. A 4:1:1 ratio means there is four times more leucine than the other two. This ratio is often chosen because leucine plays an important role in the amino acid balance of proteins.
Why does this product contain both L-citrulline and L-arginine?
L-citrulline and L-arginine are related amino acids that are often combined in pre-workout formulas to make the composition more complete.
What is the benefit of beta-alanine in this formula?
Beta-alanine is an amino acid derivative that is often used in sports nutrition. It is especially valued by strength and endurance athletes for its applicability in short, intensive forms of training. The tingling sensation after intake is a well-known and common reaction to this ingredient.
