Why Pre-Workout?

Pre workout supplements can give you that pep in your step on days you’re dragging. We’ve been there and we know--motivation plays a big factor when gearing up for a morning workout. No matter what time of day works best for your workouts, we know you probably need a little energy boost to get going.

That’s why including GNC’s best-selling Beyond Raw® LIT™ pre-workout powder was a no-brainer. It’ll help you get in the zone for your workouts–whether that’s walking in the front door of your gym or fueling you to push through challenging reps. With 250mg of caffeine you’ll feel the difference right away, providing energy and focus to get your mental and physical game strong. Beyond Raw® LIT™ also features key ingredients like CarnoSyn® beta-alanine, Nitrosigine®, and L-Citrulline to help buffer muscle pH, fuel nitric oxide production and increase blood flow to key muscle groups. Bonus points—it tastes great! When mixed with 8oz of water, this pre-workout provides fluid ensuring you head into training sessions optimally hydrated.

Why Amino Acids?

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and necessary for supporting almost every function in the body, from a cellular level and beyond–including muscle growth^ and repair. Essential amino acids (EAA), including branched chain amino acids (BCAA), cannot be produced in the body, so they must be obtained through diet.

Our Pro Performance® Essential Amino Complete supplies the EAA’s and BCAA’s you need to fuel working muscle and support muscle recovery once your training day is done and dusted. And, with added electrolytes, this formula helps to support hydration and replenish fluids lost.

Use before, during, or after workouts; even on non-training days to support muscle synthesis and fight muscle breakdown.

Why Whey Protein?

Is any fitness routine complete without a whey protein powder? Easily one of the most well-studied workout supplements on the market, whey protein powders have been fueling goals for decades. Whey contains a slew of EAA’s and BCAA’s and boasts the highest leucine content when compared to other protein powders. Leucine plays an important role in regulating the pathways responsible for building and maintaining muscle.

In a field saturated with competitors, what makes GNC’s AMP Wheybolic® stand out from the crowd? Science. GNC’s team of nutrition scientists were so confident their whey-leucine formula was better than the rest, they put it to the ultimate test by conducting a clinical study. Two groups of participants followed the same resistance training program, supplementing with either whey-leucine or carbohydrate alone. And the results were incredible–when compared to carbohydrates alone, the group receiving the whey-leucine blend saw a 30-percent increase in muscle strength.▪^ They also experienced an increase in size in just eight weeks▪^.

GNC AMP Wheybolic® packs 40g of ultra-pure, fast-digesting whey protein isolate and hydrolysates, plus 6.2g of leucine into each two-scoop serving. This advanced formula also contains Velositol®, a complex of Amylopectin and Chromium that accelerates muscle protein synthesis when taken with protein.

Mix with water and consume before and after training for optimal amino acid availability to fuel muscle and support recovery.

Why Creatine?

Creatine, another heavily-researched performance supplement, rounds out our Fitness Routine. Found naturally in muscle tissue, creatine monohydrate provides an immediate energy source—adenosine triphosphate aka (ATP) —during exercise. Because intense activities like sprinting or weightlifting require energy (lots of it!), supplementing with creatine can help fuel and circulate ATP. It also promotes cellular hydration and plays an important role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

Our Beyond Raw® Chemistry Labs Creatine HCl contains one ingredient–2g of micronized creatine hydrochloride, that’s it! It’s an excellent addition to help improve your athletic performance.
