German Elite Nutrition's Berberine Complex combines 500 mg of berberine HCl per serving with five plant extracts and the trace element chromium. It is intended for individuals who wish to consciously supplement their diet around meals and is part of an active and thoughtful lifestyle. One pot contains 120 vegan capsules, which is 30 daily servings. Since the capsule is plant-based, the formula is also suitable for people who prefer to avoid animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Berberine Is and Where It Comes From\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a yellow-colored alkaloid, a plant substance naturally found in the root and bark of various plants. This bright yellow color is characteristic of the substance and can be seen in the contents of the capsule. In this supplement, it comes from Chinese goldthread (Berberis aristata), a shrub traditionally grown in South Asia. The extract is standardized to 98% berberine HCl, meaning that almost all of the raw material consists of the active plant substance. This is one of the purest forms available on the market, as many cheaper products fall below this percentage. Thanks to this standardization, you receive the same amount with each serving, instead of a variable content. In your cells, berberine acts on an enzyme that plays a role in metabolism, the same type of process that is also activated by exercise. In short, it affects how your body handles energy. We deliberately do not attribute any health effects to it, as there are currently no approved European claims for berberine. What we do, however, is explain what it is and where it comes from, so you can make your own choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Five Plant Extracts Around Berberine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to berberine, each serving contains five standardized plant extracts, each with a fixed content of a characteristic plant substance. Banaba provides 1% corosolic acid, bitter melon 10% charantin, and olive leaf 20% oleuropein. Added to these are cinnamon and black pepper, whose extract contains 95% piperine. This piperine is a substance found in many formulas of this type. The difference from a simple plant mixture lies in this standardization: because each extract is calibrated to a fixed percentage, you know precisely what quantities you are absorbing, instead of an unknown dose. Banaba comes from the Lagerstroemia speciosa plant, bitter melon is the fruit found in Asian cuisine, and olive leaf is exactly what its name indicates. Most people know cinnamon as a cooking spice, but here it is present as a concentrated extract. Together, they form the plant-based foundation of this berberine formula. We also describe these extracts without health claims, for the same reason as for berberine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium and Your Metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is the only component in this formula for which European legislation permits health claims. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, and chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, meaning how your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Each serving of 2 capsules provides 80 micrograms of chromium in the form of chromium picolinate, which is 200% of the reference intake. Thus, in addition to the plant extracts, the formula also incorporates a mineral with recognized functions. Chromium picolinate is a commonly used form that your body assimilates well. Since the plant extracts do not have a recognized claim, chromium is the element to which we can associate a concrete function, while the rest of the formula constitutes the plant-based foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a GDA Formula Actually Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnline, berberine is often encountered as part of a so-called GDA formula. GDA stands for glucose disposal agent, a term from the fitness world for products taken around a high-carbohydrate meal. Many wonder if this is anything special: it primarily describes the timing of intake and the type of product, not a demonstrated effect. In practice, users take the capsules shortly before a larger meal, and many take a break after a period of daily use before resuming. With 500 mg of berberine per serving and a total of over 1100 mg of active substances per 2 capsules, this is one of the most comprehensive berberine supplements available. The capsule itself is plant-based (HPMC), making it suitable for vegans, and it contains no gluten, lactose, or superfluous additives. This gives you a clear berberine formula where you see exactly what it contains and in what quantities, making it a clear choice for a thoughtful routine around meals. At two servings per day, one pot lasts approximately one month, and the vegan capsule makes it suitable for almost anyone wishing to avoid animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49374300766436,"sku":"gen-047","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/BerberineGDAComplexGEN.jpg?v=1783704841"},{"product_id":"zma-max-180-gelules-gen","title":"ZMA MAX (Zinc, Triple Magnesium \u0026 Vitamin B6) | 180 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eZMA MAX by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZMA\u003c\/strong\u003e is the well-known combination of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6, widely used by athletes and people leading active and busy lives. ZMA MAX by German Elite Nutrition brings these three elements together in a plant-based capsule, with one key difference: only one capsule per day is needed. The formula is lactose-free and gluten-free, and suitable for vegans. Convenient if you want a solid base without a row of separate jars on your countertop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6 Do Together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe letters ZMA stand for zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6. This combination is no coincidence. It became popular in strength sports, where athletes sought a simple way to supplement three nutrients that are consumed more quickly during intensive training. Since then, ZMA has been a staple on the shelves. These three substances affect many different processes in your body. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and reduces fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Zinc also helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal psychological functions. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells. Zinc, magnesium, and B6 work in different areas but converge around energy, recovery, and the nervous system. This is why these three elements are so often found together in one formula, especially for people who train hard or demand a lot from themselves throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Forms of Magnesium in One Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in the source. This formula uses not one, but three forms of magnesium side-by-side: magnesium citrate, magnesium bisglycinate, and magnesium oxide. Each form behaves a little differently in your body. Citrate is bound to citric acid and is known for pleasant absorption. Bisglycinate is coupled with the amino acid glycine, a form many find gentle on the stomach. Oxide, on the other hand, provides a lot of elemental magnesium per milligram, allowing for a substantial dose in a small capsule. By combining all three, you are not limited to the properties of a single form but benefit from a blend. Each capsule provides 187.5 mg of magnesium, which is 50% of the daily reference intake. Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism, which is beneficial during a busy schedule. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal psychological functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Capsule Per Day, Six Months in a Jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany ZMA products have you taking three capsules a day. With ZMA MAX, it's one. This single capsule contains 187.5 mg of magnesium, 10 mg of zinc (100% of reference intake), and 6 mg of vitamin B6. This B6 content is high, well above the daily reference, which is common in this type of formula and corresponds to the role B6 plays in energy metabolism. Many wonder when is the best time to take ZMA. There is no fixed schedule: traditionally, the combination is used in the evening, but since it contains no stimulating substances, you can choose to take the capsule in the morning or evening. A jar contains 180 capsules. At one capsule per day, this lasts approximately six months. Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, which is beneficial during a busy season. This also means you don't have to restock every month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan, Lactose-Free, and Gluten-Free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA detail that matters to many: the capsule itself. The shell of ZMA MAX is made of vegetable cellulose instead of gelatin, making the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The formula is also lactose-free and gluten-free. This makes it an accessible choice if you pay attention to these kinds of things or if you are sensitive to lactose. Zinc is present in the form of zinc bisglycinate, coupled with an amino acid. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nails, and plays a role in the process of cell division. Thus, in a small daily capsule, you get a little more than just the athletic aspect of the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, ZMA MAX combines three well-known nutrients in a simple daily capsule. No powder, no need for multiple doses, just a fixed dose of zinc, magnesium, and B6 that fits into an active routine. For those looking for the classic ZMA combination without too many pills to swallow, this is a straightforward choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49374315020516,"sku":"gen-033","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/ZMAMaxGEN.jpg?v=1783704984"},{"product_id":"testo-max-270-gelules-gen","title":"Testo Max | 270 capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTesto Max by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTesto Max\u003c\/strong\u003e is a plant-based capsule supplement from German Elite Nutrition. It combines an amino acid, two plant extracts, a trace element, and black pepper in a single formula. Anyone looking to specifically supplement their daily diet and who prefers one month's supply in a single container will find a compact composition here, free from caffeine or stimulating substances. In the following text, you will discover precisely what it contains and where the substances come from, described factually and without promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does this formula contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis of Testo Max consists of five active components. D-Aspartic acid is an amino acid naturally present in your body and also in some foods. Tribulus terrestris extract is obtained from the fruit of the tribulus plant and is standardized to 95% saponins, the plant compounds for which tribulus is known. This standardization means that each batch contains the same ratio of saponins, regardless of where or when the plants were harvested. Without such standardization, the content of plant compounds can vary significantly from batch to batch. Maca extract is a 20:1 concentrate of maca root, meaning twenty parts of the root have been concentrated into one part of the extract. Boron is a trace element and comes here from sodium borate, a mineral salt compound. The formula contains only a small amount of boron, as your body only needs very little of this trace element. Finally, it contains black pepper extract with 95% piperine, the pungent substance in peppercorns often added to these types of combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the ingredients come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the substances in this formula, there are currently no approved European health claims. That's why we only describe what they are and where they come from, without associating any effects with them. Tribulus and maca are plants that have been used for a long time in different cultures. Maca grows at high altitudes in the Andes mountains, where the plant thrives in harsh conditions. Tribulus comes from warmer regions around the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. D-Aspartic acid is endogenous, and boron is a naturally occurring trace element that you also absorb in small amounts through vegetables, fruits, and nuts. What many don't know: piperine is added to such mixtures because of the role it plays in the absorption of other plant substances. This is where the black pepper in this formula comes in. The capsule itself is plant-based and made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a cellulose-derived fiber used as an alternative to gelatin. Thus, the casing also remains entirely plant-based, making the product suitable for those who do not want animal-derived components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e7320 mg per daily dose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach daily dose of 9 capsules provides a total of 7320 mg of active substances. This is one of the reasons why this pot is so large: 270 capsules, enough for 30 days. Many wonder why take nine a day rather than one or two. In short: by spreading the dose over the day, you also distribute the intake of all these grams of plant extract, which is more pleasant for the stomach. The capsules are small and taste-neutral. They are gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free, and GMO-free, and contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The raw materials are processed within the EU according to fixed quality standards, so that the composition remains identical from one pot to the next. Each pot therefore contains the same five components in the same proportions, which makes it easier to maintain a constant intake. Those who divide the nine capsules over three meals take three each time, which is easy to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Testo Max fits into your routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesto Max is intended for active individuals who want to supplement their diet with a plant-based formula. You take the capsules spread throughout the day, preferably with a meal and a glass of water. As it contains no caffeine, the timing doesn't matter, and you can also take them in the evening without disturbing your sleep. Furthermore, one pot lasts a full month, so you don't have to reorder midway. For those who like to keep an overview of exactly what they're consuming, the complete composition per daily dose is listed further down in the ingredients list, down to the milligram. This allows you to see at a glance if a substance is already present in another of your supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is a highly dosed plant-based capsule formula from German Elite Nutrition, with five recognizable components.

Guarana and green tea release their caffeine a little more gradually than pure caffeine, as the substance is bound to plant fibers and other plant compounds. The formula also contains L-theanine, an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves. Caffeine and L-theanine are often used together because many people find this combination more pleasant than caffeine alone. The blend also contains D-glucuronolactone, citrus aurantium extract with hesperidin, and a little black pepper extract with piperine. The latter is added because it can influence the absorption of plant compounds in the intestine. Citrus aurantium, also known as bitter orange, provides bioflavonoids like hesperidin. D-glucuronolactone is a substance often found in energy formulas. All these components combined form what the packaging calls the Mental Performance Blend. The idea behind such a blend is that you don't just absorb caffeine, but a formula with a broader composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy caffeine from multiple sources?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure caffeine acts quickly and wears off just as quickly. By deriving some of the caffeine from guarana and green tea, the release is spread out a bit more over time. Many people wonder how much caffeine is precisely in such a capsule. Good to know: the full daily dose of this product provides 320 mg of caffeine, which is about the same as three to four cups of filter coffee. After consumption, caffeine remains active in the body for several hours; roughly half is still present after four to six hours. This is precisely why caution is advised late in the day. You can choose the number of capsules you take, from 2 to a maximum of 4 per day, allowing you to adapt your caffeine intake to your own sensitivity. Everyone also reacts differently to caffeine: some feel enough effect at 200 mg, while others are used to more. If in doubt, start with a lower number of capsules and observe how your body reacts before increasing to the maximum dose. This way, you remain in control of your intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan, in capsule form, and without fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule is plant-based (HPMC), making the product suitable for vegans. It contains no unnecessary fillers, only the six active components and the capsule shell. Usage is simple: you swallow a capsule with water; you don't have to weigh or prepare anything like with a pre-workout powder. That's why these focus caps are also easy to take to work, the library, or the gym. For those who prefer to consume their caffeine in a measured way and without sugar or sweeteners, a capsule is a clear choice. A pre-workout drink often has a sweet and artificial taste, whereas with a capsule, you know precisely what you're consuming, without tasting. Furthermore, the dosage per capsule is always identical, which is not always the case when scooping powder. This makes it easier to track your intake. The jar contains 120 capsules; at the recommended dose, it will therefore last you between four and eight weeks, depending on how much you take per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this blend for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl__\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocus caps are designed for adults who want to consciously manage their caffeine: students during exam periods, people with long working days, or athletes who incorporate a caffeine moment before their workout. It is expressly not a product for children or anyone sensitive to caffeine. Since you choose the number of capsules yourself, you can adapt it to your use: a lighter dose on a regular workday, a full dose for an intense session.

Focus to the Limit not only relies on energy but also, and especially, on mental acuity, with 250 mg of caffeine and a series of complementary substances per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this pre-workout focuses on\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl பிரச்சினை ليست عضلاتك بل عقلك. لقد تعبت من يوم عملك، وتركيزك قليل. تم تصميم هذا المكمل التدريبي خصيصًا لهذه اللحظات: مسحوق تحضره في الماء قبل 15 إلى 30 دقيقة من تمرينك. لا يركز Focus to the Limit على الطاقة فحسب، بل على الوضوح الذهني بالذات، مع 250 ملغ من الكافيين ومجموعة من المواد التكميلية في كل حصة.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eماذا يركز عليه هذا المكمل التدريبي\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost boosters rely on a good dose of stimulating substances. This pre-workout does too, but it emphasizes concentration. Per serving, you receive 250 mg of caffeine, supplemented by L-tyrosine, taurine, and citicoline, substances found in many formulas focused on concentration and performance. It also contains plant extracts such as Rhodiola rosea, Panax ginseng, and ginkgo biloba. One serving also provides green coffee bean extract with chlorogenic acid and a little cocoa bean extract with theobromine. In short: it is a largely comprehensive formula of 19 components, designed to get you started on your workout with a clear mind. The full composition with all components and their quantities is on the label, so you don't work with an opaque blend whose dosages you don't know. Taurine and L-tyrosine are amino acids often found in these types of formulas. Citicoline is a substance found in nootropics and concentration products. And the plant extracts Rhodiola, ginseng, and ginkgo are adaptogens and plants that have long been used in training and energy products. All in all, this makes this pre-workout a product more focused on concentration than purely on muscle pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eB vitamins for your energy metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to stimulating substances, each serving contains a set of B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and folic acid. These vitamins have many officially approved functions. For example, vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism and reduces fatigue. Niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid also contribute to normal energy metabolism. Added to this is folic acid: folate helps reduce fatigue. For a workout booster, this is a logical addition: after all, you demand a lot from your body during an intense session. The vitamins are generously dosed in this product: riboflavin, for example, is at 343% of the reference intake per serving. This means that with just one scoop, you already receive a good portion of B vitamins in addition to your usual diet. Since B vitamins are water-soluble, you eliminate any excess in your urine and do not store them like fat-soluble vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo flavors and how to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 1 scoop (12 g) with approximately 200 ml of water and drink this 15 to 30 minutes before your workout. The container includes a scoop that makes it easy to measure this 12 g serving. For most athletes, the effect is felt within half an hour, just in time for your warm-up. You have a choice of two flavors: Fruit Blend, a classic fruity mix, and Kiwi-Grape, a refreshing combination with a mild aftertaste. Both dissolve well in water, do not clump, and leave no bitter aftertaste. The formula is vegan and sweetened without added sugar. Many athletes wonder if you can also take a pre-workout on an empty stomach. This is possible, but if you have a sensitive stomach, it helps to start a little earlier before your workout. It's also wise not to use your pre-workout every day, but to save it for sessions where you really want to be sharp, to remain sensitive to caffeine. If you alternate your pre-workout with caffeine-free days, you'll notice the effect more clearly. Store the powder dry and tightly sealed; it will then remain loose and easy to dissolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of training is it suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pre-workout is primarily intended for strength training, CrossFit, interval training, and intense evening sessions—times when you can use both energy and focus. Many athletes combine such a booster with other supplements in their routine, for example, creatine, beta-alanine, or EAA amino acids. This product does not replace them but complements them with a focus and caffeine component. Since you determine when to use it, you can reserve it for the workouts that truly matter. If you only use it for your heaviest sessions, a tub will also last much longer. On a light day, you simply skip it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: Focus to the Limit is a pre-workout that relies on mental acuity in addition to energy, with a good dose of caffeine, plant extracts, and B vitamins. Practical for strength training, HIIT, or a late session where your mind still needs to kick in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Fruit mix","offer_id":49386098786532,"sku":"gen-126-002","price":30.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Kiwi-Raisin","offer_id":49386098819300,"sku":"gen-126-001","price":30.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/FocusToTheLimitGEN.jpg?v=1783854420"},{"product_id":"gen-5-htp-max-griffonia-simplicifolia-200-mg-120-gelules","title":"5-HTP MAX (Griffonia simplicifolia) 200 mg | 120 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGEN 5-HTP MAX with Griffonia Extract\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEN 5-HTP MAX provides 200 mg of \u003cstrong\u003e5-HTP\u003c\/strong\u003e per capsule, extracted from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds. This is a woody shrub from West Africa whose seeds are naturally rich in this substance. One jar contains 120 vegetable capsules, enough to last four months at one capsule per day. Below, you can read at your leisure what exactly 5-HTP is, where it comes from, and what to look out for when comparing different jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 5-HTP Actually Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-HTP is short for 5-hydroxytryptophan, a substance your body produces itself from the amino acid L-tryptophan. This amino acid is found in common foods like bananas, milk, nuts, and cheese. In your body, 5-HTP is an intermediate step in a chain: L-tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, 5-HTP is then converted into serotonin, and at night, some of this serotonin is converted back into melatonin. The name refers to its place in this sequence, somewhere in the middle. In this product, the substance does not come from a lab, but from a plant source: an extract from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds, which naturally contain a high amount of 5-HTP. This gives you the same molecular structure that your body uses, but from a concentrated plant extract rather than a meal. The shrub grows mainly in coastal regions of countries like Ghana and Ivory Coast, where the pods are harvested by hand and the seeds are extracted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 30% Extract Means Something\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label states 666 mg of Griffonia extract, standardized to 30% 5-HTP. This percentage indicates the amount of pure 5-HTP contained in the extract: 30% of 666 mg corresponds to 200 mg. And this is precisely the figure that truly matters. Two jars containing the same number of milligrams of extract can significantly differ in 5-HTP content, because one is standardized to a higher percentage than the other. Therefore, when comparing 5-HTP capsules, one should look at the number of milligrams of 5-HTP and not just the amount of extract. For this product, the content is measured per batch, so that each capsule contains the same 200 mg. This makes the comparison more honest, as you know exactly what you have in hand. In summary: a high extract figure means little if the standardization percentage is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Difference with L-tryptophan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this topic, you will encounter two closely related names: 5-HTP and L-tryptophan. They belong to the same chain, but there is a difference in the path your body takes. L-tryptophan must first be converted into 5-HTP by an enzyme, a slow step. Moreover, your body uses most dietary tryptophan for protein synthesis and other substances, so little remains for this conversion. 5-HTP is already beyond this enzyme and thus skips this first step. It also crosses the intestinal wall without having to compete with other amino acids for the same transporter, which happens with L-tryptophan. In practice, this means a shorter and more direct path than with L-tryptophan. This is why many people specifically choose 5-HTP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure and Vegan Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula has been deliberately designed to be clean. The capsule contains only the Griffonia extract and the capsule shell itself, nothing more. No excipients, no colorants, and no magnesium stearate as a flowing agent. The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), making this product vegan and free of gelatin. The extract is produced in the EU and batch-controlled for its 5-HTP content, so that the content remains consistent from one capsule to the next. This ensures that the 200 mg stated on the label is indeed the 200 mg contained in your capsule, every time. For those who prefer to know precisely how much 5-HTP they receive daily, this fixed dose provides a clear reference point. You take one capsule per day, so with 120 capsules per jar, one purchase lasts four months. The fact that the capsule is otherwise empty means you know precisely what you are receiving: the extract and the vegetable shell, and nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, with these 5-HTP capsules you get a standardized form of Griffonia simplicifolia, with 200 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan per capsule and a jar that lasts four months. For those who want to consciously choose the amount of 5-HTP they receive daily, this is a clear and understandable starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386099441892,"sku":"gen-116","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/5-HTPMAXGEN.jpg?v=1783854510"},{"product_id":"gen-aakg-2-1-poudre-500g","title":"AAKG 2:1 Powder | 500g | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAAKG 2:1 powder from German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrefer to make your own pre-workout? \u003cstrong\u003eAAKG powder\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the isolated raw materials that many athletes use for this. This powder from German Elite Nutrition contains only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate in a 2:1 ratio. Per 6-gram serving, you get 6000 mg of AAKG.

In the 2:1 ratio, there are two parts arginine to one part alpha-ketoglutarate, allowing you to absorb a relatively large amount of arginine per gram of powder. L-arginine is an amino acid that your body uses, among other things, in the production of nitric oxide, a small signaling molecule that plays a role in the caliber of your blood vessels and thus in circulation. This is also why arginine and AAKG are often associated in the fitness world with the concept of \"pump.\" For L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, there are currently no approved European health claims, so we describe these substances here only as components and explain what they are. AAKG is one of the well-known raw materials in pre-workout and sports nutrition, long used by bodybuilders and strength athletes and now also by endurance athletes. This AAKG powder is part of the same series of isolated raw materials. You find it in powders, capsules, and liquid shots, but the core always remains the same substance: arginine bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy athletes choose the 2:1 form\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2:1 ratio provides more arginine per serving than a 1:1 blend, while alpha-ketoglutarate completes the package. You'll find AAKG as a fixed ingredient in countless pre-workout boosters, but bulk powder gives you more control. Since this powder is tasteless, you can easily mix it into water, juice, or your existing pre-workout shake without changing the taste. This makes AAKG powder popular with people who stack their supplements. Many athletes wonder how much to take per serving. In practice, it's often about 6 grams before training, precisely one serving of this powder. Some compare AAKG to citrulline, another popular pump ingredient. Both revolve around the arginine pathway in the body, but they are different substances. With bulk AAKG powder, you deliberately opt for the arginine aspect and determine the added amount yourself. The fact that you control the dosage yourself is precisely why many experienced athletes prefer to work with bulk powder rather than a fixed blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDose yourself and combine freely\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big advantage of powder over capsules is that you completely determine the dosage yourself. Do you want half a serving on a quiet day, or do you want to combine AAKG with, for example, citrulline, taurine, or beta-alanine in your own pre-workout? With the provided scoop, you can easily weigh the amount you need. Mix about 6 grams (two scoops) in 300 ml of water and drink it twenty to thirty minutes before training. Since nothing is added to the powder, you know exactly what you are consuming, and you don't accumulate double additives if you use multiple products at once. For those who like to experiment with their own blend, this is a clear advantage over ready-made boosters. Also practical: since you weigh it yourself, you can slowly increase the dose and see what works for you, instead of being stuck with a fixed dosage per capsule. Take the powder as a supplement to a varied diet, not as a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePure, vegan, and additive-free\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product contains only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, without fillers, flavorings, or other unnecessary additives.

In fitness circles, AAKG is therefore often associated with the pump during training, that feeling of fuller muscles when blood flows well. Whether you notice it varies from person to person. For L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, there are currently no authorized European health claims, so we only describe the substances here as components and explain what they are. AAKG is one of the well-known raw materials in pre-workout formulas and sports nutrition, widely used by strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It is found in powders and boosters, and therefore also in the form of AAKG capsules like these Ultra Caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy capsules instead of powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowder gives you dosing freedom, but capsules are significantly more convenient. You don't have to weigh or prepare anything, and you don't taste the rather acidic taste of pure AAKG powder. On the go, at work, or in your gym bag: a tub of capsules slips in easily, whereas with powder you always need to have a shaker and water at hand. Each capsule contains a fixed dose of 1150 mg, so you know exactly how much you're getting without dosing or estimating. Many athletes take AAKG around training. With these AAKG capsules, you simply count the number you want and swallow them with water. For those who like to keep their routine simple, this is a pleasant way to use AAKG without complications. Hesitating between powder and capsules? Choose powder if you want to dose and mix yourself, and capsules if convenience and portability are more important to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighly dosed and spread throughout the day\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 1150 mg per capsule, you are at the high end compared to many AAKG capsules that provide 500 to 1000 mg. If you take four capsules, you get 4600 mg of AAKG. You can spread them throughout the day or take them together before training, depending on what suits your schedule. Since the content per capsule is high, you swallow less for the same amount of active substance. Convenient, because nobody likes to swallow handfuls of capsules a day. The 2:1 formula also provides more arginine than a standard 1:1 mix, which particularly appeals to experienced athletes who consciously build their intake. If you are new to AAKG, stick to a lower amount and observe how you react before moving to the full daily dose. This allows your body to gradually get used to the supplement and you don't suddenly reach a high intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePure and without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerman Elite Nutrition deliberately chooses a pure composition without magnesium stearate, colorings, or other superfluous excipients.

Keep the tub dry and well-sealed, and the capsules will remain in good condition. In summary, these are highly dosed AAKG capsules with 1150 mg per unit, 365 capsules per tub, for athletes who prefer to swallow their arginine rather than drink it. Take them as a supplement to a varied diet and do not exceed the recommended dose. This maintains a simple and fixed way to integrate AAKG into your routine. A tub of 365 units lasts well over three months at four a day, so you don't need to reorder often. For athletes who don't want to weigh powder, these capsules are a simple alternative that you can take anywhere. Many users combine AAKG with other isolated sports supplements like creatine or citrulline, each in its own dosage alongside. As the capsules contain no taste or sweetener, they are easy to take alongside a pre-workout or protein shake without clashing flavors.

German Elite Nutrition's Acetyl L-Carnitine provides 500 mg per capsule, and six capsules will give you 3000 mg per day. Acetyl L-carnitine is a form of carnitine, a substance naturally present in your body and primarily absorbed through meat. One jar contains 250 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Acetyl L-Carnitine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarnitine is a body-produced substance that you make yourself from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and which is found mainly in red meat in the diet. In your cells, carnitine plays a role in transporting fatty acids to the mitochondria, the cell's small energy factories. Acetyl L-carnitine is the form in which an acetyl group is coupled to the carnitine molecule. This small chemical addition gives the substance a slightly different character from ordinary L-carnitine, and that is precisely where the name acetyl L-carnitine comes from. For athletes and active individuals, acetyl L-carnitine, also abbreviated as ALCAR, is one of the most well-known forms of carnitine, often taken as a standalone supplement alongside the daily diet. There are currently no approved European health claims for carnitine, so we only describe what the substance is and how it is present in the body, without attributing any effects to it. These capsules contain pure acetyl L-carnitine, without flavorings, sweeteners, or unnecessary additives. This way, you know exactly what you are consuming, and you are not paying for all sorts of fillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e500 mg per capsule, 3000 mg per daily dose\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach capsule provides 500 mg of acetyl L-carnitine. The daily dose is six capsules, totaling 3000 mg. This way, you take your carnitine in capsule form, without weighing or preparing powder. This saves hassle, and it also avoids a taste: loose carnitine powder has a rather sour and pungent taste that not everyone appreciates. The capsules are easy to take with a little water and can be spread throughout the day, for example, two with each meal. Many people wonder how much acetyl L-carnitine to take. This product is based on 3000 mg per day spread over six capsules, a substantial portion that you can, if you wish, keep lower. Since each capsule provides 500 mg, the number of capsules per day remains limited to six. Carnitine is mainly stored in muscles and is found in the diet primarily in red meat, much less in plant products. This is precisely why people who eat little or no meat sometimes opt for a carnitine supplement. Your body does produce carnitine itself, but through diet, most of it comes from animal sources. Those who eat plant-based therefore naturally absorb less, and that is one of the reasons why a standalone supplement comes into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made from vegetable hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, so this product is vegan. This is special for a carnitine product, because carnitine itself is precisely associated by most people with meat. In addition to acetyl L-carnitine, the capsule contains only microcrystalline cellulose as a filler and a small amount of stearic acid as a coating agent. The product is also gluten-free and lactose-free, without dyes or preservatives. This gives you a clean composition where most of the capsule is actually the active substance. For vegans and vegetarians who prefer to get their carnitine from a supplement rather than meat, this is a nice detail. Even if you are simply looking for a clean and simple composition, it is pleasant that the ingredient list is short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcetyl L-Carnitine is suitable for people who want to take carnitine as a standalone supplement, for example, athletes who use it as a fixed part of their supplement program, or people who eat little meat. There is no fixed time to take it: some spread the capsules around meals, others around a workout. In short, it is acetyl L-carnitine with 500 mg per capsule and 3000 mg per daily dose, in a vegan capsule. A jar of 250 capsules, at six per day, lasts well over forty days. A direct choice for those who prefer to swallow carnitine rather than drink it, and preferably without the acidic taste of the powder. Take the capsules as a supplement to a varied diet and not as a replacement for it.

On this page, you will find factual information about what D-aspartic acid is, how it functions in your body, and what research does and does not say about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D-Aspartic Acid Exactly Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAspartic acid is an amino acid that exists in two mirror-image forms: the L-form and the D-form. These two forms are mirror images of each other, much like your left and right hand. Your body uses the L-form extensively for protein synthesis. The D-form, D-aspartic acid, is more peculiar: it is one of the few D-amino acids found naturally in mammalian bodies, especially in nervous tissue and hormone-related tissues. In supplements, the pure D-form is used, and that is exactly what these capsules contain. Aspartic acid is also found in food, especially in protein-rich products, but then mainly in the L-form. The concentrated D-form as in this supplement is not simply found in a regular meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts Place in Your Amino Acid and Protein Metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmino acids are the building blocks from which your body makes proteins. Aspartic acid is a link that plays a role in several places. It is a building block for other amino acids and components of your DNA, and it plays a role in the citric acid cycle, the process by which your cells release energy from food. D-aspartic acid also acts as a signaling molecule in the nervous system and in hormone-producing tissues. This sounds technical, but in short: it is not a foreign substance to your body, but a molecule that connects to a number of basic processes. For example, it serves as a building block for other amino acids and components of your genetic material. Without amino acids like aspartic acid, your body could not make proteins, and proteins are found in virtually all tissues, from muscles to enzymes. This makes it a part of the normal functioning of your cells, not something exotic. We cannot and do not want to do more than provide a factual description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Research Neutrally Says About It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people search online for what D-aspartic acid does. Let's be honest: studies show a mixed picture. In studies, a dose of about 2.6 to 3 grams per day was most often used, sometimes more. A daily dose of three capsules, at 3450 mg, just exceeds this common range. What is striking is that D-aspartic acid is often used in cycles, over periods of a few weeks rather than continuously. The reason people opt for a cycle is that some studies suggest that the body adapts over time. Whether this is accurate and what exactly it implies is not scientifically unequivocal, and the reaction also differs from person to person. For D-aspartic acid, there is no EU-approved health claim, so we deliberately make no claims about effects on this page. What we can say: you know exactly what you are taking and in what quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, Highly Dosed, and the Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula is kept as lean as possible. Each capsule contains only D-aspartic acid, without fillers or colorants. With 1150 mg per capsule, the dosage is on the high side, so with three capsules you already reach a full daily dose. Good to know: the capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin. This product is therefore not suitable if you eat vegan or vegetarian, nor is it halal or kosher. This transparency is part of it, because you want to know what you're getting into beforehand. For those who prefer a vegetable capsule, this is not the right choice; for those looking for pure and highly dosed D-aspartic acid, it fits well. At three capsules per day, one jar will last you well over a month in continuous use, and longer when used in cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: D-aspartic acid is an amino acid that plays a role in your metabolism and is best known to bodybuilders. German Elite Nutrition offers it pure and highly dosed, with 300 capsules in a jar for several cycles. What it means for you, you determine yourself based on factual information.

GEN's Ashwagandha Shoden provides 300 mg of standardized extract per capsule, derived from the root and leaf of Withania somnifera. One jar contains 60 vegan capsules, which is a two-month supply at one capsule per day. Below, we calmly explain what this Shoden extract precisely is, where it comes from, and what to look for when comparing ashwagandhas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Ashwagandha Actually Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is a shrub native to India and the Middle East. In Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, the plant has been used for thousands of years. It is sometimes referred to as Indian ginseng, although ashwagandha is not botanically related to true ginseng. Its Latin name is Withania somnifera. In Sanskrit, ashwagandha roughly translates to \"smell of a horse,\" referring to the distinctive odor of the fresh root. Traditionally, the plant is called an adaptogen, a generic term for botanicals that people have used for centuries. We deliberately won't say more here. There are no EU-approved health claims for ashwagandha, so you won't read anything from us about what it does in your body. What we can tell you, however, is where the plant comes from, how the extract is made, and how concentrated it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 35% Withanolides Means Something\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithanolides are the key plant substances in ashwagandha. The percentage on the label tells you how much of these substances are in the extract. And there's a big difference between products. Most ashwagandha extracts are around 5% withanolides. Shoden reaches 35%, which is about seven times more concentrated per milligram. This level is fixed for each batch, as the raw material is measured by HPLC, a laboratory method that precisely determines the withanolide content. Two jars containing the same number of milligrams of extract can therefore differ significantly in active plant substance. So, when comparing ashwagandha capsules, one looks at the percentage of withanolides and the source, not just the number of milligrams. And it is precisely this percentage that many online stores print in tiny font. In this product, 300 mg of Shoden extract provides 105 mg of withanolide glycosides, and this number is consistent from capsule to capsule. This standardization is precisely what you're paying for: not just a quantity of powder, but a measured and consistent quantity of active plant substance. With bulk ashwagandha powders without a percentage, you never know for sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Difference Between Shoden and KSM-66\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ashwagandha, you often encounter two names: Shoden and KSM-66. Both are standardized extracts with patented raw materials, but they differ in two ways. KSM-66 is extracted only from the root and is around 5% withanolides. Shoden uses both the root and leaf of the plant, thus achieving 35%. The leaf adds withanolides not found in a root-only extract, explaining the difference in percentage. In practice, this means: with a common 5% extract, people often take 600 mg or more per day, while with this concentrated Shoden extract, 300 mg in a single capsule is sufficient. Which form suits you depends on your own preference, and whether you prefer a root-only extract or a root and leaf extract. Both names are registered raw materials with their own manufacturing process, so it's not just a label on the packaging but a real difference in source and concentration. Those who pay attention to the daily dose will therefore get a lower value with Shoden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and Made in Germany\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), so this product is vegan. It contains no unnecessary excipients: only the Shoden extract and the capsule itself. No fillers, no colorings or flavorings. The raw material comes from a fixed supplier, and production takes place in Germany, where each batch is checked for purity and withanolide content. This ensures the content remains identical from capsule to capsule. And since one capsule a day is sufficient, a jar of 60 lasts two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with these ashwagandha capsules, you are getting a concentrated form of Withania somnifera, with a fixed withanolide content per capsule and a low dose of one capsule per day.

Berberine Complex by German Elite Nutrition combines 500 mg of berberine HCl per serving with five plant extracts and the trace element chromium. It is intended for people who wish to supplement their diet thoughtfully around meals and is part of an active and conscious lifestyle. A jar contains 120 vegan capsules, equivalent to 30 daily servings. As the capsule is vegetable-based, the formula is also suitable for people who prefer to avoid animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat berberine is and where it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a yellow-colored alkaloid, a natural plant substance found in the root and bark of various plants. This vibrant yellow color is characteristic of the substance and is present in the capsule's contents. In this supplement, it comes from Chinese goldthread (Berberis aristata), a shrub that traditionally grows in South Asia. The extract is standardized to 98% berberine HCl, meaning almost all of the raw material consists of the active plant substance. This is one of the purest forms available on the market, as many cheaper products fall below this percentage. Thanks to this standardization, you receive the same amount with each serving, instead of a variable content. In your cells, berberine acts on an enzyme that plays a role in metabolism, the same type of process that is also triggered by physical exercise. In summary, it affects how your body manages energy. We deliberately do not attribute any health effects to it, as there are currently no approved European claims for berberine. What we do, however, is explain what it is and where it comes from, so you can make your own choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe five plant extracts alongside berberine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl conjugaison--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to berberine, each serving contains five standardized plant extracts, each with a fixed characteristic plant substance content. Banaba provides 1% corosolic acid, bitter melon 10% charantin, and olive leaf 20% oleuropein. Added to these are cinnamon and black pepper, with the pepper extract containing 95% piperine. This piperine is a substance found in many formulas of this type. The difference with a simple plant blend lies in this standardization: as each extract is set to a fixed percentage, you know exactly what quantities you are receiving, instead of an unknown dose. Banaba comes from the Lagerstroemia speciosa plant, bitter melon is the fruit found in Asian cuisine, and olive leaf is exactly what its name indicates. Most people know cinnamon as a cooking spice, but here it is present as a concentrated extract in the formula. Together, they form the plant-based foundation of this berberine formula. We also describe these extracts without health claims, for the same reason as berberine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium and your metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is the only component in this formula for which European legislation allows health claims. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, meaning how your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Each 2-capsule serving provides 80 micrograms of chromium in the form of chromium picolinate, which is 200% of the reference intake. Thus, in addition to plant extracts, the formula also contains a mineral with recognized functions. Chromium picolinate is a commonly used form that your body absorbs well. As the plant extracts have no recognized claims, chromium is the component to which we can associate a concrete function, while the rest of the formula constitutes the plant-based foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a GDA formula actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnline, you often encounter berberine as a component of a so-called GDA formula. GDA stands for glucose disposal agent, a term from the fitness world for products taken around a carbohydrate-rich meal. Many wonder if there is anything special about this: it primarily describes the timing of intake and the type of product, not a proven effect. In practice, users take the capsules shortly before a significant meal, and many take a break after a period of daily use before resuming. With 500 mg of berberine per serving and over 1100 mg of active substances in total per 2 capsules, this is one of the most complete berberine supplements you will find. The capsule itself is vegetable-based (HPMC), making the whole suitable for vegans, and no gluten, lactose, or superfluous additives have been used. You thus get a clear berberine formula where you see precisely what it contains and in what quantities, making it a clear choice within a thoughtful mealtime routine. A jar lasts about a month at two servings per day, and the vegan capsule makes it suitable for almost anyone who wishes to avoid animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386114416868,"sku":"gen-047","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/BerberineGDAComplexGEN_3d1d61f0-d39b-4458-b097-3686b323fcfd.jpg?v=1783855041"},{"product_id":"gen-beta-alanine-poudre-500g","title":"Beta-Alanine Powder | 500 g | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBeta-Alanine Powder by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you train seriously and want to create your own pre-workout? \u003cstrong\u003eBeta-alanine\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most well-known isolated raw materials in sports nutrition. This powder from German Elite Nutrition provides 2500 mg of beta-alanine per 2.5-gram serving, supplemented with vitamin B6. A 500-gram bag is enough for approximately 200 servings, so you'll have plenty for a long time. This is a product for athletes who want to determine their intake themselves rather than using a ready-made mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Beta-Alanine Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-alanine is an amino acid that your body can produce itself and is also found in animal-based foods like meat and fish. From a regular diet, you generally only absorb small amounts, especially if you eat little meat. In your muscles, beta-alanine is converted, along with the amino acid histidine, into carnosine. This carnosine plays a role in buffering the acid that forms during intense exertion. Building up this carnosine reserve takes time: on average, it takes a few weeks of daily use before the level in your muscles has significantly increased. That's why many athletes don't take beta-alanine occasionally, but as a consistent supplement over a prolonged period, whether they train that day or not. Beta-alanine is therefore often offered in bulk in sports nutrition, so you can determine the amount you take and what you combine it with. For beta-alanine itself, there are currently no approved European health claims, so we describe this amino acid here only as a component and explain what it is. The resulting carnosine is mainly used in muscle fibers that you use during short, intense exertion, such as a heavy set at the gym or a sprint. This explains why this amino acid is popular among strength athletes and people who train briefly and intensely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Tingling Sensation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people who use beta-alanine for the first time notice a slight tingling or prickling sensation on the skin, most often on the face, neck, or hands. This is called paresthesia and it is a known, harmless effect. The sensation is temporary and disappears on its own, usually within an hour. The intensity is related to the amount taken at once. If you want to limit the tingling, divide the daily dose into several smaller portions instead of taking it all at once. This makes the intake more pleasant without having to change the total amount. It's not a sign that something is wrong, but simply how your body reacts to this amino acid. Athletes who, on the other hand, find this sensation pleasant as a sign that they have absorbed the product well can take a larger serving at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplemented with Vitamin B6\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach serving contains 0.21 mg of vitamin B6, which is 15% of the reference intake. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Additionally, vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Unlike beta-alanine, vitamin B6 does have a series of approved claims, which you can find in full later on the page. This is a logical addition to a product used around your training, and it makes this powder more than just an isolated raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Pure Powder that Dissolves Easily\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beta-alanine in this product has a purity of over 99% and is tasteless. The powder has a fine structure and dissolves easily in water, a shake, or a pre-workout drink. No fillers, colorings, flavorings, preservatives, or magnesium stearate are added, so you get exactly what you're looking for. The product is vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free. With the included scoop, you can quickly measure your 2.5-gram serving without having to weigh it. Many athletes use beta-alanine around their training or as part of their pre-workout, and it combines well with, for example, creatine or citrulline in a homemade stack. Since the powder is in bulk and tasteless, you determine the amount you take and what you mix it with. This makes it suitable for athletes who create their own blend rather than buying a ready-made pre-workout. Those who want their supply to last can spread the daily dose over several training days without the bag emptying quickly. For those who prefer not to consume additional flavorings or sweeteners, a neutral powder is a pleasant base.

Dissolve 30 grams of powder in cold water and you're left with a clear, dark fruit-flavored glass with 24.5 grams of protein per serving. A 900-gram tub is enough for 30 servings, a good month's supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy clear whey remains transparent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a classic shake, milk protein or concentrate is used. This dissolves opaquely and results in a thick, filling drink. Clear whey uses whey protein isolate, the most purified form of whey. Since most of the milk fat and sugar have been filtered out, the powder dissolves clearly in water. This way, you drink a refreshing blackberry lemonade instead of a milkshake, with the same amount of protein as in a regular shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtein simply does its job: proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass, and proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass. For those who train seriously, these are precisely the reasons to pay attention to their protein intake. The difference lies in the experience, because you get these same proteins in a light, thirst-quenching form that doesn't weigh heavily on the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtein without the bulk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nutritional values show how refined the isolate is. A 30-gram serving contains 24.5 grams of protein and about 103 kilocalories. Fat and carbohydrates remain below a tenth of a gram, and there is no added sugar. So there are few elements around these proteins, which lightens your calorie plan if you are monitoring your diet in addition to training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is important beyond just muscles, as proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Keep one thing in mind: the powder is made from milk and contains lactose.

After training is a good time, because your body can then use the proteins while your stomach still needs to recover. A cool glass of blackberry then feels like a refreshment and not a meal. Take 1 to 3 servings per day, for example in the morning and immediately after sports. Between meals, such a glass also goes down well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix or shake 30 grams in 300 ml of cold water and let it sit for a moment for the foam to settle. With water, the drink remains clear. If you add milk, it becomes creamier but less transparent, which somewhat contradicts the idea of clear whey. A scoop in your sports bag and you can prepare it on the go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlackberry: dark, sweet-tart fruit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste is based on ripe blackberries: dark, sweet-tart and a little fuller than a light berry. No sugar is added, the sweetness comes from the sucralose sweetener. This keeps the drink fresh rather than syrupy, even on the second glass of the day. This dark fruit makes the blackberry variant pleasant for those who like a slightly bolder taste and quickly get tired of standard sweet flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackberry is a flavor for those who want something fuller. Where light berries are sometimes too sweet or too flat, this dark fruit brings more body without becoming syrupy. This makes it pleasant at the end of the day, for example after an evening workout, when you still want protein but don't feel like a heavy shake. You control the intensity yourself with the amount of water: less water gives a more intense blackberry, more water a lighter drink. Always mix 30 grams per serving. For on the go, the same trick works as for other flavors: powder already in the shaker, cold water just before drinking, and let it sit for a moment for the drink to become clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, you get a clear and airy way to get your protein.

But through diet alone, your muscle stores are usually not completely full. That's where a supplement comes in. Creatine improves physical performance during successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The difference lies in your energy system. Your muscles use ATP as direct fuel, and during a heavy set or a sprint, this store is depleted in a few seconds. Creatine is stored in your muscles as phosphocreatine and helps replenish this ATP store faster. In practice, this means you can get that extra rep or sprint. And it's precisely this extra effort, workout after workout, that ultimately makes the difference in strength and muscle mass. That's why creatine is so popular in strength sports, sprinting, and team sports with many short bursts. Important to know: creatine doesn't act like a pre-workout that you feel immediately. It builds up in your muscles over a few weeks, and only when the store is full do you notice the difference in training. Patience and consistency are therefore more important than a quick boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Tablets Instead of Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine monohydrate powder is popular, and rightly so. But it's not always practical. Powder needs to be weighed, mixed, and you need a shaker. Tablets, you simply slip them into your bag. On the way to the gym, on vacation, or at work, you take them with a glass of water and you're done. These tablets contain 1000 mg of creatine each. With three tablets, you reach 3000 mg, exactly the amount at which the positive effect occurs. Good to know: you don't need to do a loading phase. Taking 3 grams a day is enough to bring and keep your creatine stores at optimum levels. A tablet dissolves a little slower than powder in water, but this makes no measurable difference to absorption or the final effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlso Interesting for Over 55s\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: creatine isn't just for young athletes. Daily creatine intake can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over 55. This makes it an interesting supplement for anyone who remains active at an older age and practices strength training. Maintaining muscle strength becomes more important as you age. And creatine monohydrate tablets easily fit into a daily routine, without you having to drastically change your diet or handle powders. You take them as easily on a rest day as on a training day, because it's precisely this daily regularity that keeps your stores topped up. A slight weight gain during the first few weeks is normal and comes from water retention in the muscle, not fat. For many older athletes, this is not a disadvantage but rather a sign that creatine is doing its job in the muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Else Do These Tablets Contain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition has been deliberately kept short. In addition to creatine monohydrate, you'll find microcrystalline cellulose (a plant-based filler that gives the tablet its shape) and silicon dioxide (which prevents ingredients from sticking together during production). No colorants, no flavorings, no animal-derived ingredients. The tablets are vegan and laboratory-tested for purity. With 300 tablets in a jar, at three tablets a day, you have a hundred-day supply, or more than three months from a single package. Creatine monohydrate is also the most studied form: the reference form in almost all scientific research, and the form on which the authorized effect is based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements available. No hype, no new trend, but a substance backed by decades of research. These creatine tablets make taking it as simple as possible, including on days you don't train.

Along with sweat, you lose minerals your body needs to function properly. This \u003cstrong\u003eElectrolyte Complex Plus\u003c\/strong\u003e combines seven active ingredients in one formula: taurine, betaine (TMG), sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Per daily dose of five capsules, you get 1000 mg of taurine and 1000 mg of betaine, supplemented by a broad mineral profile. The jar contains 300 capsules, which is a 60-day supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Taurine and Betaine Do Here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine is not strictly speaking an amino acid, even though it is often referred to as such. It is a sulfur-containing compound naturally present in your muscle and nervous tissue. In your cells, taurine plays a role in the distribution of water and ions across the cell membrane. It acts as an osmolyte, a substance that helps regulate the water balance of your cells. Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine or TMG, does something similar. It is also an osmolyte and additionally functions as a methyl donor. Betaine contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Together, taurine and betaine form a logical duo in an electrolyte formula. Where classic electrolyte products often only contain salts, this combination adds two substances involved at the cellular level in water distribution. In this complex, taurine is present at 1000 mg per daily dose, a common amount that serves as a starting point in many studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Than Just Sodium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany electrolyte products rely heavily on sodium. This is understandable, as sodium is the mineral you lose the most through sweat. This complex provides 625 mg of sodium per daily dose, from two sources: sodium citrate and sodium chloride. But it goes further. You also get 300 mg of potassium, 150 mg of magnesium, and 120 mg of calcium. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and a reduction in fatigue. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function. And chloride, which you get from sodium chloride, contributes to normal digestion by producing hydrochloric acid in the stomach. In short: you are not supplementing just one mineral, but a broader spectrum relevant during exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Forms of Magnesium in One Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: magnesium is not just magnesium. This product contains three different magnesium compounds: magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium citrate. Each of these forms has different properties in terms of absorption and tolerance. Magnesium bisglycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine, so it is absorbed in the intestine via a different transport mechanism than, for example, magnesium citrate. By combining three forms, you engage different absorption pathways instead of just one. The total amount per daily dose is 150 mg of elemental magnesium. This is not a mega-dose, but a targeted supplement in addition to what you get from your diet. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. This combination of three forms is precisely what distinguishes this complex from a simple magnesium tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsules Rather Than Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost electrolyte products are powders to be dissolved in water. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not practical for everyone. Capsules are easy to take to the gym or when traveling. No need for a water bottle, no sugary flavors. The downside? You don't absorb extra fluid like with a drink. This means you need to drink enough yourself in addition to the capsules, especially if you sweat a lot or it's hot. The product contains 300 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose vegetable capsules. At the recommended dose of five capsules per day, you have a two-month supply. You can take these five capsules at once or spread them throughout the day, depending on what works best for your training. The reason there are five: minerals and active substances physically take up space, and 1000 mg of taurine plus 1000 mg of betaine plus a broad mineral profile simply don't fit into one capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Electrolyte Complex Plus is a broad formula that goes beyond standard sodium tablets. With taurine and betaine as osmolytes, three forms of magnesium, and a complete mineral profile, it is aimed at anyone who wants to supplement in a targeted way during training or increased sweat loss.

L-Arginine 6000 from German Elite Nutrition provides 6000 mg of L-arginine HCL per daily dose of eight capsules, of which 4980 mg is pure L-arginine. L-arginine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins. Among athletes and active individuals, it is one of the most well-known free amino acids, often taken as a supplement alongside protein shakes and regular meals. One jar contains 380 capsules, giving you a comfortable supply without having to weigh powder. For those who use arginine daily, such a large jar is convenient, as you'll need to reorder less frequently. At eight capsules per day, one jar easily lasts six weeks, making it a practical choice for those who prefer to swallow arginine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is L-Arginine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-arginine is an amino acid that your body can produce itself and is also found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, nuts, and legumes. In the body, L-arginine is notably used in the production of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that plays a role in blood vessels. For strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, L-arginine is therefore a popular free amino acid, often taken as a supplement to the daily diet. In these capsules, it is present in HCL form, without superfluous additives. Many wonder why take arginine as a separate supplement when it is also present in food. In short: with a supplement, you absorb a concentrated and precisely dosed amount, regardless of what is on your plate. This way, you know exactly how much L-arginine you are absorbing, without having to calculate the amounts present in your meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e6000 mg of HCL per daily dose of eight capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose is eight capsules, divided into two servings of four. Together, they provide 6000 mg of L-arginine HCL, including 4980 mg of pure L-arginine. The HCL form is arginine bound to hydrogen chloride, which makes the substance stable and highly soluble. This form is often chosen because it provides a high content of pure arginine per gram and is easy to process. This way, you absorb a concentrated amount of arginine in capsule form, without weighing or preparing powder. With almost 5000 mg of pure arginine per day, you are at the higher end of what free arginine supplements offer. The eight capsules are preferably spread over two moments of the day, for example, in the morning and afternoon, or part of it around your workout. Since the dosage is already present in the capsules, you don't have to weigh anything yourself. On training days, many athletes take some of it around their session, but there is no fixed prescribed time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules without fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of vegetable hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, making L-Arginine 6000 vegan. In addition to L-arginine HCL, the capsule contains only rice flour as a filler and a small amount of stearic acid as an anti-caking agent. The product is also gluten-free and lactose-free, and contains no colorings or preservatives. The choice of rice flour as a filler keeps the composition simple and clear. Since the capsule is already dosed, you know precisely how much arginine you are absorbing, which is more convenient than working with a scoop of powder. Moreover, capsules are also easier to carry than a jar of powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy athletes choose arginine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, L-arginine is one of the most well-known free amino acids. This is due to the role arginine plays in the production of nitric oxide in blood vessels. Many users take part of the daily dose around their workout, although there is no fixed rule as to when. Some prefer to take arginine on an empty stomach, as the body then absorbs it quickly; if this makes you nauseous, you can just as well take it around a meal. It is therefore L-arginine as a supplement to your daily diet, where you decide how to divide the eight capsules throughout the day and at what time. For athletes who prefer capsules over powder, this is a practical difference: you take them with you and swallow them, without a shaker or scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is L-arginine in HCL form with 6000 mg per daily dose, in a vegan capsule.

This \u003cstrong\u003el-leucine\u003c\/strong\u003e powder from German Elite Nutrition provides 5000 mg of fermented leucine per serving, supplemented with vitamin B6. Leucine is one of the amino acids that your body does not produce itself and is one of the three so-called BCAA amino acids. The powder is taste-neutral and vegan. A 500-gram bag provides 100 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat leucine is and how your body uses it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeucine is an essential amino acid: your body does not produce it itself, so you get it entirely from your diet. It is mainly found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and legumes, and it is a fixed component of whey and many BCAA and EAA formulas. In the bodybuilding world, leucine is known as the amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis; of the three BCAAs, it plays the primary role. Researchers sometimes call it the trigger amino acid because the body uses a certain amount of leucine as a signal. This is precisely why many athletes add it separately to a meal or shake that naturally contains a little less. With a separate reserve of l-leucine, you decide how much you add to a shake or your EAA blend, instead of being limited to the ratio of a ready-made formula. This makes it interesting for those who want to adjust their supplementation in the finest detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it contains vitamin B6\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B6, in the form of pyridoxine, is added to this powder, 0.21 mg per serving. This corresponds to 15% of the reference intake. This addition is no coincidence: B6 is closely related to how your body handles proteins. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. In addition, vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism and to reducing fatigue. Pyridoxine is the same form of B6 found in many multivitamins. With 15% of the reference intake per serving, it is present here in a modest but useful amount alongside leucine. Thus, the vitamin logically complements leucine in a product entirely focused on proteins. This is a small but thoughtful detail that distinguishes this powder from plain leucine without other additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFermented, vegan, and taste-neutral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeucine is obtained through microbiological fermentation and is therefore entirely plant-based, without animal raw materials. The powder has no taste of its own, allowing you to easily mix it with water, juice, or a shake without it dominating your drink. No flavors, colorants, or fillers have been added. Pure leucine plus the vitamin, nothing more. Good to know: pure leucine can taste a bit bitter in water, which is why many prefer to mix it with a flavored shake rather than tap water. A tip: dissolve the powder well first before adding other ingredients, this will give you a lump-free mixture, and in a shaker with a ball, it goes fastest. In short, you know exactly what you're pouring into your shaker, with no surprises on the ingredient list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use this l-leucine powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne serving is 5 grams, about two scoops, which you dissolve in enough liquid. Many athletes mix l-leucine directly into their protein shake, EAA drink, or post-workout drink. Around training is a popular time, but you can just as easily take the serving at another time of the day. Some people take a part before and a part after training, others are content with just one serving per day. There is no set pattern, so you adapt it to your own training days. As a bag contains 100 servings, you can vary your usage significantly, from an isolated leucine serving to a targeted supplement for your existing blend. Those who compose their own shakes, for example, use it to raise the leucine content of a plant protein a bit, given that some plant proteins naturally contain less leucine. Store the powder dry and tightly closed, so that it remains loose and easy to dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, this is a pure, fermented l-leucine powder with a targeted dose of vitamin B6. 5000 mg of leucine per serving, 100 servings per bag, taste-neutral and vegan.

The five extracts are Arjuna bark extract (10:1, standardized to 0.5% arjunolic acid), citrus bergamot peel extract (5:1, 30% polyphenols), horse chestnut seed extract (10:1, 20% aescin), olive leaf extract (20:1, 40% oleuropein), and Japanese knotweed root extract (100:1, 98% trans-resveratrol). Each of these substances is a plant extract with its own origin and composition. Arjuna comes from the bark of Terminalia arjuna, a tree from India. Bergamot is the peel of a citrus fruit from southern Italy. Horse chestnut provides the saponin aescin, and olive leaf contains the plant substance oleuropein. What many don't know: the percentages behind each extract primarily indicate the standardization, i.e., the guaranteed amount of the characteristic plant substance. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that your body also produces itself. Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin normally obtained from grains, legumes, and meat, and is added here in the form of thiamine hydrochloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an extraction ratio like 10:1 means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 10:1 extract, ten times more plant material was used than what results in extract. For 1000 mg of 10:1 Arjuna extract, approximately 10,000 mg of bark were processed. This ratio, combined with the standardization percentage, makes it easier to compare formulas with each other. In short: two containers with the same number of milligrams of extract can still differ because one is standardized to a higher percentage of active substance than the other. In Heart Essentials, these figures are listed separately on the label, per ingredient. This way, you see exactly how much arjunolic acid, polyphenols, aescin, oleuropein, and trans-resveratrol you consume per daily dose, without having to calculate it yourself. For those who use botanical formulas for months on end, this transparency is valuable, as you then want a consistent composition from one container to the next. When comparing botanical formulas, therefore, do not just look at the number of milligrams, but also at the extraction ratio and the percentage of active substance, because these two figures combined determine what your capsule actually contains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin B1 in this formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to plant extracts and coenzyme Q10, each daily dose contains 1.1 mg of vitamin B1, in the form of thiamine hydrochloride. This represents 100% of the reference intake. Vitamin B1 is one of the few substances in this formula for which officially authorized claims exist. Thiamine contributes to the normal function of the heart. Thiamine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Furthermore, thiamine contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. These claims apply to the vitamin B1 in the product, not to the plant extracts. For the botanical ingredients in this formula, we cannot currently mention any actions, as their evaluation in the EU is still ongoing. This is why you only read above and in the frequently asked questions what these extracts are and how they are standardized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage, capsule, and composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose is 2 times 2 capsules, preferably with a meal containing some fat.

The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), making Heart Essentials suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It contains no gluten, no lactose, and no GMOs. Many people wonder why four capsules a day are necessary. This is because the formula combines eight ingredients in useful quantities; by distributing the intake over four capsules, each capsule remains manageable, and you can spread out the intake. This gives you a clear formula in which you see exactly, per ingredient, what it contains. Store the container dry and tightly closed, and keep it out of reach of children.

Bile acids are produced in the liver and play a role in fat digestion. TUDCA is a water-soluble variant, formed by the binding of ursodeoxycholic acid to the amino acid taurine. This binding makes the substance more soluble than many other bile acids. In short: it is a body-specific substance, offered as a supplement in a much higher quantity than normally found in the body. For TUDCA, there are currently no approved European health claims. Therefore, we describe the substance purely as a component, focusing on what it is and its composition, without attributing any specific effects. What many people want to know is why TUDCA has been so frequently discussed in recent years. This is primarily due to the role the substance has taken in the routines of individuals who carefully curate their supplements. Since it is a body-specific molecule normally found only in small amounts in bile, a concentrated supplement offers a completely different way to be exposed to it. It is precisely this combination of a known body-specific substance in a high, standardized dose that makes TUDCA a sought-after product by informed users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1000 mg per day, a high dose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach daily dose of two capsules provides 1000 mg of TUDCA.

With this product, you reach the full 1000 mg with just two capsules per day. One container holds 60 capsules, providing a thirty-day supply. Because the dose per capsule is high, the container is compact while still lasting a month. For those who want to use TUDCA long-term, this is a practical aspect.

Piperine is the pungent plant compound that gives black pepper its characteristic bite. In supplements, it is often added as a companion to other substances, a so-called bio-enhancer. Here too, we do not claim any effects, as there are no approved European claims for this. We therefore mention piperine as a component of the formula, nothing more. Otherwise, the capsule contains little else: no artificial fillers, no magnesium stearate, no colorings, flavorings, or preservatives.

Per gram, it provides 90 mg of nitrate. The powder is tasteless and dissolves completely, making it easy for athletes to incorporate into their pre-workout or a simple glass of water. One jar contains 75 grams, enough for 75 doses. It is a sports nutrition product, intended to supplement your nitrate intake around your workouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat OxyStorm® is and how it compares to beetroot powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxyStorm® is the brand name of a nitrate-rich amaranth extract, developed by Arjuna Natural in India. Amaranthus dubius is naturally one of the richest plant sources of nitrate available. Thanks to water-based extraction, the nitrate is concentrated to 9% of the extract's weight. For comparison: red beetroot powder typically contains 1 to 2% nitrate, and many beetroot juices are even lower. Per gram, OxyStorm® therefore provides significantly more nitrate than the same amount of a beetroot-based product. Another difference lies in its composition: the extract has a neutral pH and does not contain oxalates, substances naturally present in beetroot. For athletes who want to precisely dose their nitrate intake without drinking liters of beetroot juice, this is a practical advantage. Amaranth is also consumed as a pseudo-grain, but for OxyStorm® it is solely the leaf, which contains the most nitrate. Since the amount of nitrate per gram is fixed, you know exactly what you are consuming with each scoop, which varies much more with fresh leaves or juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom nitrate to nitric oxide in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary nitrate follows a well-known pathway in your body. In the mouth and digestive tract, bacteria and enzymes convert nitrate (NO3) into nitrite (NO2). Nitrite is then converted into nitric oxide (NO), a small signaling molecule involved in relaxing the walls of blood vessels. This conversion pathway is widely described in scientific literature and explains why nitrate receives so much attention in the sports world. This is exactly the same form of nitrate that is naturally present in leafy vegetables like spinach and arugula. OxyStorm® provides these plant nitrates in a concentrated, tasteless powder form, so you determine the amount you consume yourself. In the sports world, this pathway is called the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. This is the same reason why a serving of red beetroot or a handful of spinach is sometimes mentioned around exercise, except that leafy vegetables contain a much lower and more variable amount of nitrate than a standardized extract. Nitrate is therefore not an exotic substance, but a natural component of your diet, simply present in a much more concentrated form in this amaranth extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasteless powder for your pre-workout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEase of use comes from its neutral taste. OxyStorm® has no beetroot taste, no color, and no sugar, making it possible to mix it into almost any workout drink without it being noticeable. Dissolve 1 gram in 200 to 300 ml of water or add it to your pre-workout, mix for a moment, and it's ready. No heat or shaker needed. Many athletes take their nitrate 30 to 60 minutes before exercise, as the conversion of nitrate to nitrite and then to nitric oxide takes time. This way, you calmly integrate it as a fixed part of your warm-up routine before a training session or competition. Endurance athletes, team sports athletes, and strength athletes each use nitrate in their own way, from a fixed daily dose to taking it just before a difficult session. Since the powder has no distinct taste, it does not interfere with your usual pre-workout mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e75 grams per jar: dose with the scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar comes with a scoop that allows you to precisely measure 1 gram, the recommended daily amount. With 75 grams per jar, you have enough for 75 doses, which is about two and a half months of daily use. The powder is entirely plant-based, extracted from amaranth leaves, and therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is gluten-free and lactose-free. In short: a compact, tasteless source of nitrate that you can easily integrate into your existing routine, whether you are running, cycling, or weightlifting. Store the jar in a dry, well-sealed place; the powder will remain usable for a long time. And since one dose is only 1 gram, a 75-gram jar lasts a long time without taking up much space in your cupboard. The scoop helps to maintain the same amount each day, which is practical if you want to track your nitrate intake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386118578404,"sku":"gen-104","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/NitraatPoeder_Oxystorm_75g-PuurAmaranthusBladExtractPoeder-OptimaalvoorPreWorkoutBooster.jpg?v=1783855295"},{"product_id":"gen-clear-whey-protein-isolate-900g-myrtille-noix-de-coco","title":"Clear Whey Protein Isolate Blueberry \u0026 Coconut | 900 g | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGerman Elite Nutrition Clear Whey Protein Isolate Blueberry \u0026amp; Coconut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruity blueberry with a tropical touch of coconut, all in a clear shake.

Clear whey turns this on its head. Thanks to whey protein isolate, the most purified form of whey, the powder dissolves transparently in water. During purification, most of the fat and sugar from the milk disappear, leaving mostly protein. So you're drinking a fresh blueberry with coconut, not a heavy milkshake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtein remains the essential part: proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass, and proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass. For athletes who train a lot, this combination is a good fit. You get the same protein, but in a light form that doesn't weigh down the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Values at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers are simple. Per 30-gram serving, you get 24.5 grams of protein and about 103 kilocalories. Fat and carbohydrates remain below a tenth of a gram, and there's no added sugar. This makes sense, as isolate is almost pure protein with few surrounding elements. This way, you cover a good part of your daily protein needs without unbalancing your calorie plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProteins act beyond just muscles, as proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. One note: the powder comes from milk and contains lactose. Isolate contains less than concentrate, but this blueberry with coconut is not lactose-free. If you are sensitive to it, keep this in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Refreshing Post-Workout Conclusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear whey proves to be especially effective as a recovery drink right after training. Your body then craves protein, while a full stomach is rather unpleasant. A fresh glass of blueberry and coconut is easy to drink then. Mix 30 grams in 300 ml of cold water and shake briefly. Spread throughout the day, 1 to 3 servings are ideal, for example, in the morning and after sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith water, the drink remains clear and light. If you choose milk, it becomes creamier, but you then lose some of that transparent and refreshing character that makes this flavor so appealing. If you often have a shake, this combination is a pleasant way to vary with a simple red fruit flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlueberry and Coconut: Fruity with a Tropical Touch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste starts fruity and sweet, marked by dark blueberry, with a soft, creamy note of coconut in the background. No sugar is added; the sweetness comes from the sucralose sweetener. This keeps the drink fresh and light, even with a second glass during the day. This touch of coconut makes this variant a little different from the usual red fruit flavor, and this is especially noticeable in the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination lends itself well to alternating with a simple red fruit or citrus flavor. If you drink a shake more than once a day, this tropical touch of coconut keeps things interesting. It also works as a drink for the afternoon slump: instead of a sugar-laden can of soda, grab a fresh glass of blueberry with coconut, with a good portion of protein. Mix 30 grams in 300 ml of cold water, or use a little less water if you want a stronger taste. If you're taking it with you, put only the powder in the shaker and add cold water just before drinking. This way, the drink stays clear and fresh instead of warm and foamy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, you get a clear and airy way to get your protein. For those who like something fruity with an original twist after training, this blueberry with coconut is a pleasant alternative that lasts a long time.

German Elite Nutrition offers it in a concentrated form: 450 mg of pure beta-ecdysterone per capsule, supplemented with L-leucine and piperine from black pepper. You only take one capsule per day. On this page, you can read factual information about what beta-ecdysterone is, where it comes from, and how this formula is composed. We deliberately make no claims about its effect, as there are no authorized health claims regarding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Beta-Ecdysterone Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeta-ecdysterone, also known as 20-hydroxyecdysone, is a phytoecdysteroid. This is a complicated term for a group of plant sterols: substances that plants produce themselves, among other things, as a defense against insects. Beta-ecdysterone is found naturally in common crops like spinach and quinoa, and in much higher concentrations in the plant Cyanotis arachnoidea. Chemically, it resembles ecdysone, the hormone that insects use to molt, but it remains a plant substance with no hormonal role in humans. The name ecdysteroid therefore refers to the chemical family, not an effect in your body. Thanks to modern extraction techniques, it can now be produced in a standardized and concentrated form, and this is precisely what these capsules contain. Beta-ecdysterone has attracted the interest of athletes and researchers for decades, and it is precisely this interest that has led to increasingly high-content extracts. You don't get such quantities from a simple plate of spinach; you would have to eat unrealistic amounts for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and Standardization\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beta-ecdysterone in this product comes from an extract of Cyanotis arachnoidea. Each capsule contains 500 mg of this extract, of which 450 mg is pure beta-ecdysterone. This corresponds to a standardization of approximately 90 percent, which is high. Why is this important? For plant extracts, the amount of extract means little if the content of the active substance is unknown. Some products only indicate the number of milligrams of extract, or use a powder with lower standardization. Since both the extract and the beta-ecdysterone content are listed here on the label, you know exactly what you are consuming. This transparency is one of the reasons German Elite Nutrition chooses a highly standardized extract. A 500 mg extract with 90 percent active substance provides something entirely different than 500 mg of powder with a much lower content. For those who want to compare brands, this content is the truly decisive figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy L-leucine and Piperine are Present\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the extract, each capsule contains two supporting ingredients. L-leucine is a branched-chain amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins. It is added at 250 mg as a complementary amino acid. The capsule also contains 10 mg of black pepper extract, standardized to 95 percent piperine. Piperine is the pungent substance in pepper and is often added to supplements for a factual reason: it can increase the absorption of other substances in the intestine. In short, it is a combination where the main ingredient is combined with an amino acid and an absorption enhancer. This way, you know precisely which components make up each capsule. We deliberately provide no more explanation than this factual description, as European regulations limit us in this regard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan, Lab-Tested, and Doping Status\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients are plant-based and incorporated into a vegan capsule, meaning no animal components. The product contains no magnesium stearate, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and is positioned as doping-free. Good to know for competitive athletes: beta-ecdysterone has been on the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) monitoring program since 2020, but it is not on the prohibited list. It is therefore available over-the-counter and legal. Those who participate in anti-doping controls usually deliberately choose products that undergo certified testing, as a monitoring status can change in the future. For amateur athletes, this last point usually plays no role, but it is good to know this distinction before using a product. Beta-ecdysterone is offered by various brands, from bulk powder to capsules, with the active substance content varying widely from product to product. These capsules are intended for adult athletes who are looking for a standardized extract and wish to take it alongside their regular diet. You can take the capsule at a fixed time of day, for example at breakfast, to remember it easily. It is not intended for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary: beta-ecdysterone is a plant sterol derived notably from Cyanotis arachnoidea, here highly dosed and standardized at 450 mg per capsule, supplemented with L-leucine and piperine. One capsule per day, vegan and transparent on composition. What you want to do with it, you decide yourself based on this factual information.

You mix the powder with hot or cold water or milk to get a creamy bowl ready in minutes. For athletes, it's a convenient way to plan carbohydrates around a workout, for breakfast, or as a quick snack between meals. One bag contains 3 kg, enough for sixty 50-gram servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e100% Rice Flour as a Neutral Carbohydrate Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is as simple as possible: pure rice flour, without added sugars, flavors, or other additions. Per 100 grams, this rice cream provides 372 kcal, with 83 grams of carbohydrates, 7.7 grams of protein, and only 0.7 grams of fat. The sugar content is low, less than 0.5 grams per 100 grams, as the carbohydrates come almost entirely from rice starch. Since the taste is neutral, you control the sweetness or saltiness of your bowl. This makes it a practical base for athletes who want to track their macros without sacrificing convenience. Where many ready-made products already contain flavor and sugar, here you start from a blank slate. Rice is one of the most widely used carbohydrate sources in the world and is known to be mild and easy to digest. In milled form, it absorbs moisture quickly, giving you a creamy texture without cooking. With a measured portion, you also know precisely how many carbohydrates you're getting, which is harder to estimate with a scoop of rice from the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRice Cream Around Your Workout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany athletes choose a carbohydrate source that is quick to prepare and easy to dose. With rice cream, it's simple: measure, mix with liquid, and it's ready. This makes it suitable before a workout, when you want to keep your meal easy to digest, but just as well afterward, when you're replenishing your carbohydrate intake. On rest days too, it's a way to keep your intake consistent. And since you determine the amount of liquid you add, you can make it a thick pudding or a more liquid porridge, depending on what works best at the moment. This flexibility is precisely why many wonder how best to integrate rice cream into their day: the answer is that it fits almost any time. Some athletes plan their largest carbohydrate portion around their hardest workout of the day, while others distribute it evenly. Because it's easy to digest, it also sits lighter in the stomach than a full solid meal just before exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Blank Canvas You Build Yourself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's great about a neutral rice cream is that you can vary it endlessly. After it has thickened, mix in a scoop of whey to your bowl for a sweet, protein-rich version, and finish with berries and cinnamon. Want it creamier? Use plant-based milk and a spoonful of nut butter. For a bit of crunch, add nuts, shredded coconut, or granola. And even a savory touch with herbs works surprisingly well. This way, you never eat the same thing twice, while the base remains the same reliable carbohydrate source every time. Cream of rice has become popular in the fitness world for exactly this reason: simple, adaptable, and easy to digest. You can also prepare a larger quantity and store it in the refrigerator, so all you have to do is add your toppings in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Values and Customizable Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne serving is 50 grams of powder, which you mix with about 150 ml of water or milk and let swell for a few minutes. More liquid gives a more fluid texture, less liquid a firmer result suitable for meal prep. The product is naturally gluten-free, as it is made from rice, and entirely plant-based. With 3 kg per bag, you have a good supply at home, which saves you from reordering every time. Since rice flour has a long shelf life, such a large package remains perfectly usable, even if you only have a portion a few times a week. In short: a neutral and versatile rice cream that you prepare quickly and customize entirely to your taste and training schedule.

This L-Arginine HCL from German Elite Nutrition is a pure amino acid powder in hydrochloride form. Per 5-gram serving, you get 5000 mg of L-arginine HCL, and a 500-gram jar is enough for about one hundred servings. The powder is popular with strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts who prefer to weigh and combine their amino acids themselves rather than buying a ready-made mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is L-arginine HCL?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-arginine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks that make up proteins. Your body makes some of it itself, and it is also found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, nuts, and legumes. Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid: most of the time, you produce enough of it, but around intense training, the need can be higher. In the body, arginine plays a role in various processes; the body uses arginine, among other things, in the production of nitric oxide. This is neutral biochemical data that in itself says nothing about an effect of this supplement. The HCL addition means hydrochloride: arginine is bound to hydrogen chloride, which makes the powder stable and well soluble. Naturally, pure arginine HCL has a slightly salty taste, which already says a lot about its purity. For L-arginine, there are currently no authorized European health claims. That's why we describe the amino acid only as a component. In sports nutrition, arginine has been a well-known name for years, often present in pre-workout formulas and in amino acid stacks that athletes compose themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eObtained by fermentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-arginine in this powder comes from a natural fermentation process. Microorganisms transform plant raw materials into arginine, which is then bound to hydrogen chloride to form the HCL form. No animal materials are involved, so the powder is suitable for a vegan diet. Fermentation is now the common method for manufacturing free amino acids because it allows for a pure raw material without residues from animal or chemical sources. The result is a fine, white powder, free from flavorings, colorings, preservatives, and genetically modified ingredients. What many appreciate in a naked powder: you determine your portion yourself and mix it exactly where you want it, from water to a shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure and well soluble\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar contains only L-arginine HCL. No fillers, no sweeteners, no anti-caking agents. This purity is precisely why many athletes choose a naked powder rather than a ready-made formula: you know exactly what you're taking in, and you're not paying for additions you're not looking for. Thanks to the HCL form, the powder dissolves quickly in about 300 ml of water or a drink of your choice. A quick stir with a spoon and it's ready. The slightly salty taste is naturally part of it; if you want to mask it, mix it with fruit juice or your pre-workout. The powder is also gluten-free and lactose-free. With the included scoop, you precisely measure each 5-gram serving, without having to guess with an ordinary spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow athletes use this arginine powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost users take a 5-gram serving daily, dissolved in water or a shake. Many strength athletes schedule this portion around their training, for example, as part of their pre-workout, even though there is no fixed time. As it is a free powder, L-arginine easily combines with other free amino acids like citrulline, beta-alanine, or taurine. This way, you compose your own blend, adapted to your training routine and taste. Some prefer to take arginine on an empty stomach, as a powder is then quickly absorbed; others mix it into their water bottle before sports. Take the powder as a supplement to a varied diet and respect the indicated portion. A 500-gram jar lasts well over three months at one serving per day, making it a practical choice for anyone who wants to use arginine long-term without having to reorder constantly.

German Elite Nutrition combines the patented DigeZyme enzyme complex with bromelain, papain, and pepsin, as well as ginger, fennel, and the bacterial strain Weizmannia coagulans. You take three capsules daily, spread across your meals, and one container holds 120 capsules, enough for forty daily doses. Below, you will find factual information about these ingredients and how enzymes work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Digestive Enzymes Are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnzymes are proteins that trigger a chemical reaction. Digestive enzymes do this with your food: they break down large nutrients into smaller pieces. Each enzyme has its own task. Amylase acts on carbohydrates, protease on proteins, and lipase on fats. Cellulase breaks down plant fibers, and lactase breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Important to know: enzymes themselves are not absorbed as whole proteins; they do their work in the digestive tract and are then broken down like other foods. This is why the quantity and activity of enzymes matter, not just the number of milligrams. Your body produces these enzymes itself, particularly in the pancreas and small intestine. An enzyme product provides supplemental enzymes, with a predefined quantity and activity. The exact way these enzymes work is pure biochemistry: each enzyme fits like a key into a given lock and accelerates a reaction there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigeZyme, the Standardized Enzyme Complex\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis of this formula is DigeZyme, a patented complex of five enzymes: alpha-amylase, a neutral protease, cellulase, lactase (also called beta-D-galactosidase), and lipase. Each daily dose contains 800 mg of DigeZyme. The special feature of a standardized branded ingredient is that the activity of each enzyme is defined in units, such as DU for amylase or FIP for lipase. These units say more than weight alone, as they indicate how active an enzyme is. In a generic enzyme blend, this information is often missing. Since DigeZyme works with fixed activity values, you know what to expect from each capsule. DigeZyme was developed by raw material manufacturer Sabinsa and is widely used in enzyme supplements. The five enzymes together cover the main nutrient groups, from carbohydrates and proteins to fats, fibers, and lactose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplementary Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to DigeZyme, each daily dose also contains several other substances. Bromelain (100 mg) from pineapple and papain (100 mg) from papaya are proteolytic enzymes, as is 75 mg of pepsin. There are also 300 mg of ginger extract and 300 mg of fennel seed extract, two plant extracts traditionally associated with food and herbal teas. Ginger and fennel are traditionally used after meals, for example in tea or as a spice, but we cannot make any claims about their effects. Finally, Weizmannia coagulans has been added, a probiotic bacterial strain previously known as Bacillus coagulans. This strain is spore-forming, meaning it has a protective layer around it. This makes it more resistant to stomach acid and heat than many other bacteria, so viable cells can reach the intestine. Each daily dose provides 3 billion colony-forming units. The combination of these additional enzymes, two plant extracts, and the probiotic makes this product broader in composition than a simple enzyme blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and Activity in Units\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients are plant-based and integrated into a vegan capsule, without artificial colors, flavors, or fragrances. What distinguishes this product from many simple enzyme products is its transparency: the label not only indicates the number of milligrams but also the enzymatic activity in units. For digestive enzymes, this is the figure that truly matters, as two products containing the same number of milligrams can differ significantly in activity. Store the capsules in a dry place and not too warm, as enzymes and probiotics are sensitive to humidity and heat. This best preserves their activity throughout their shelf life. A well-sealed container in a dry place is therefore more than a detail for this type of product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is a comprehensive enzyme product, with a standardized core, supplemented with additional enzymes, two plant extracts, and a heat-stable probiotic.

Vitamin B6 is added to the powder. It is tasteless, dissolves easily, and is aimed at athletes who want to add taurine as an isolated building block to their routine. A 500-gram package is enough for approximately 200 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Taurine Is and Where It's Found\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine is a sulfur-containing organic compound naturally present in your body. It is formed from the amino acids methionine and cysteine. Unlike most amino acids, taurine is not used to build proteins, but it is one of the functional substances known in the sports world. Taurine is found in many energy drinks and pre-workout formulas. In food, it is found mainly in meat and fish, so vegetarians and vegans generally consume little of it. For taurine itself, no authorized European health claims are currently available, so we describe it purely as a component of this powder. The name taurine originally comes from the Latin word for bull, as the substance was first isolated from ox bile. Today, it is manufactured synthetically, including the powder in this package, making it completely vegan. Your body naturally contains a significant amount of taurine, especially in the muscles, heart, and brain. In supplements, it is often referred to as L-taurine, which refers to the natural form of the substance. People who engage in intensive sports or consume few animal products sometimes choose to supplement with taurine in isolated powder form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplemented with Vitamin B6\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B6 is added to this taurine powder, a vitamin with several authorized health claims. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism and the reduction of fatigue. In addition, vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological functions and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to regulating hormonal activity. Per 2.5-gram serving, you get 0.21 mg of vitamin B6, which is 15% of the reference intake. The complete list of authorized claims for vitamin B6 can be found later on this page. Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that you normally get from foods such as meat, fish, bananas, and whole grain products. In this powder, it is present as pyridoxine-HCl. As it is added to the taurine, each serving automatically provides you with a small amount of B6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasteless and Soluble Powder for Your Shake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe convenience of this powder lies in its neutral taste. Taurine powder dissolves quickly in water, juice, or a pre-workout shake, without changing the taste. This means you can combine it with almost any other product in your stack, such as creatine, caffeine, or citrulline. Many athletes take their taurine around their workout, others make it a fixed part of their daily supplement routine. Since the powder is pure, you determine exactly how much you add. Some athletes take taurine with caffeine, as these two substances are often found together in energy drinks. Others combine it with creatine or beta-alanine in their pre-workout. Since it is an isolated powder and not a ready-made formula, you retain control over your stack. Taurine is also one of the most widely used functional substances in sports nutrition, which is why it is found in so many energy drinks and pre-workout formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosing with the Scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package contains a scoop that allows you to dose 2.5 grams, equivalent to 2500 mg of taurine. Mix it in about 250 ml of liquid and it's ready to use. With 500 grams in a bag, you have a generous supply of about 200 servings. The powder is entirely vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, and contains no colorants, flavorings, or preservatives. In short: a pure taurine powder with a touch of vitamin B6, which you can easily integrate into your existing routine. Keep the bag cool, dry, and tightly closed, and the powder will remain usable for a long time. Since a serving is only 2.5 grams, a 500-gram package lasts a long time.

German Elite Nutrition's Turkesterone Max provides 500 mg of Ajuga Turkestanica extract per capsule, in a 10:1 ratio. A daily dose of three capsules delivers 1500 mg of extract, supplemented with 10 mg of black pepper extract for piperine. It's a pure, vegan formula, popular with strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts who incorporate herbal extracts into their daily routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Turkesterone is exactly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurkesterone is a plant substance naturally present in Ajuga Turkestanica, a plant from the mountains of Central Asia. It belongs to the group of ecdysteroids, a family of plant steroids also found in spinach and quinoa, albeit in much lower concentrations. In sports nutrition, turkesterone has become a well-known name in the plant extract category in recent years. Ajuga Turkestanica is almost always processed into a standardized extract because the plant itself contains only a small amount of active substance. For turkesterone and Ajuga Turkestanica, no authorized European health claims are currently available. Therefore, we describe the extract only as a plant substance, emphasizing its origin and composition, without attributing any effect to it. What many people want to know is where its notoriety comes from. It is mainly due to the place turkesterone has gained within athletes' plant stacks, alongside names like tribulus and maca. Ecdysteroids are present in several places in nature, but Ajuga Turkestanica contains a relatively high concentration, making the plant a popular raw material for supplements. As it is a plant extract and not a synthetic substance, turkesterone fits into the list of botanicals that athletes like to combine themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a 10:1 extract mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10:1 ratio indicates the concentration of the extract. It means that ten parts of dried plant material are needed to obtain one part of extract. In other words: ten kilograms of Ajuga Turkestanica yield approximately one kilogram of extract. This way, you get a concentrated form of the plant in a compact capsule, instead of large quantities of raw plant. Each capsule contains 500 mg of this extract, so three capsules reach 1500 mg per day. The difference with a simple plant powder lies precisely in this concentration: a standardized extract provides more plant substances per capsule than the same weight of dried plant. For those seeking a concentrated formula, the extraction ratio is therefore a more important figure than just the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack pepper for piperine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the Ajuga extract, the formula contains 10 mg of black pepper extract, standardized to 95% piperine. Piperine is the pungent plant substance that gives black pepper its characteristic flavor. In supplements, it is often added as a bio-enhancer. This is where piperine comes in: it is a frequent companion to plant extracts in sports nutrition. Here too, we make no claims about its effect, as there are no authorized European claims on this subject. Therefore, we mention piperine only as a component of the formula. The rest of the capsule consists of a small amount of rice flour as a carrier and a vegetable capsule made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. There is nothing else: no magnesium stearate, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and produced in Germany\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurkesterone Max is completely vegan, as both the extract and the capsule are of plant origin. The product is manufactured in Germany according to strict quality standards. For athletes who assemble their own stack, this is pleasant, because you get a purified and clear product, without unnecessary additives. The recommended daily dose is three capsules, distributed throughout the day or all at once, with sufficient water. One jar contains 120 capsules and is therefore sufficient for forty days, a little over a month. Many users combine turkesterone with other products in their routine, from creatine and whey to an amino acid blend. Take it as a supplement to a varied diet and adhere to the indicated daily dose. As the capsule provides neither taste nor smell, turkesterone can be easily integrated alongside your other supplements, at a fixed time of day. If you are taking medication or suffer from an ailment, consult your doctor or pharmacist first before starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: Turkesterone Max is a concentrated Ajuga Turkestanica extract (10:1) at 1500 mg per day, supplemented with black pepper extract, vegan, and without fillers.

It is a transparent shake made from whey protein isolate, with the bittersweet taste of pink grapefruit. You get 24.5 grams of protein per serving in a drink that remains translucent and has a lively, fresh taste. A 900-gram tub provides 30 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClear Dissolve, Light Drink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy is one protein shake cloudy and another transparent? It comes down to the protein it contains. A regular shake often uses whey concentrate, which still contains fats and lactose, making the drink thick and opaque. Clear whey works with whey protein isolate, the more filtered form. During the manufacturing process, almost all fat and most of the lactose are removed, leaving nearly pure protein. This dissolves transparently in cold water. A touch of citric acid keeps the acidity low, which keeps the drink clear and not milky. This way, you drink something with the texture of a soft drink and the protein content of a shake. Proteins contribute to muscle mass growth, and with 24.5 grams per serving, you're on par with a classic whey shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Bittersweetness of Pink Grapefruit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink grapefruit has a flavor that starts sweet and ends with a slight bitterness. It is precisely this balance that makes this variant different from the usual sweet shake. It's refreshing and a bit grown-up, without ever becoming candy-sweet, as no sugar is added. The sweetness comes from the sweetener sucralose, while the citrus note provides the tang. For those who quickly find sweet flavors too overpowering, grapefruit is a particularly pleasant drink. It's a flavor that works well in the morning or just before a gentle cardio session, when you want something fresh that doesn't weigh heavily on the stomach. Serve the shake cold with some ice and let the foam settle for a moment; that's when the bittersweet citrus is best showcased. If you want to temper the bitterness a bit, leave the shake in the fridge for a few minutes, as grapefruit is most pleasantly drunk well chilled. Clear whey has become popular among athletes who prefer to drink something fresh after exercise rather than a creamy shake, and this trend is now widely found on shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLots of Protein, Little Bulk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer 30-gram serving, you're looking at 24.5 grams of protein and about 103 kcal. Fats and carbohydrates remain below a tenth of a gram per serving, and there is almost no sugar. This is the advantage of isolate: it's almost entirely protein, with little else. This way, you get your protein without a mountain of extra calories, which is convenient if you're watching your figure or following a high-protein diet. Proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass, and proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. The powder contains milk and lactose. Isolate contains less lactose than concentrate, but it is not lactose-free, so keep this in mind if your stomach is sensitive to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMixing, Timing, and Daily Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut a 30-gram scoop into the shaker and pour in 300 ml of cold water. Water gives the clearest result; with skim milk, the shake becomes fuller, but less translucent. You don't need a blender; shaking or stirring is enough. You can drink 1 to 3 servings per day, for example, in the morning, between meals, or after your workout. After exercise, when you're sweaty and thirsty, a fresh citrus shake is often more pleasant than something creamy. This is precisely what this clear whey is for. Feel free to alternate with one of the other flavors in the range when you fancy a change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this pink grapefruit is a fresh and bittersweet way to get your protein.

GEN HMB Ultra Caps contain Calcium Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate, the calcium salt of \u003cstrong\u003eHMB\u003c\/strong\u003e. HMB is a substance your body produces itself from leucine, one of the branched-chain amino acids. But this self-production is limited: only a small part of the leucine from your diet is converted into HMB. This supplement provides it directly, without this detour. A jar contains 365 capsules, enough for over three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Leucine to HMB, and why this difference matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou probably know leucine as one of the most important amino acids for training. What many don't know: HMB, full name beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, is the metabolite your body makes from leucine. You convert about 5% of all leucine into HMB. With an average protein intake, you might get 300 to 500 milligrams per day. That's significantly less than the 3 grams used in studies. And that's precisely where Calcium-HMB supplementation comes in. Per daily dose of four capsules, you take 3600 mg of calcium-HMB, including 3024 mg of pure HMB. This puts you close to the dosage used in most studies. To get those same 3 grams from food, you would have to eat an unrealistic amount of protein, and even then, the conversion to HMB would remain limited. That's why athletes who want to reach the studied dosage usually opt for a supplement rather than just more protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat HMB does in your muscle tissue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHMB acts on two sides of the same balance. On one hand, it plays a role in muscle protein synthesis, via a signaling pathway called mTOR, a kind of switch that determines whether your body will build new proteins. On the other hand, it curbs the breakdown of existing muscle proteins, which goes through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, a cleaning mechanism in your cells. The net effect is that your protein balance tips towards building. This is especially interesting in phases where breakdown is higher than normal. Think of a caloric deficit period, high training frequency, or a new training stimulus your body isn't yet used to. The calcium part of the bond primarily serves as support here: it makes HMB stable in capsule form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalcium as a support, and what it provides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince Calcium-HMB inherently contains calcium, each daily dose also provides 520 mg of elemental calcium. This represents 65% of the daily reference intake, a significant amount. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and normal energy metabolism. In addition, calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal neurotransmission. It's not a calcium supplement in the traditional sense, but it's good to know that with four capsules a day you're taking in a considerable portion of calcium. Keep this in mind if you're already taking other calcium-rich supplements or a lot of dairy products in your routine, so your total intake doesn't become unnecessarily high. For most athletes, this extra calcium is not a problem, but it's something to consider if you're already taking a calcium supplement elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy four capsules a day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour capsules, that seems like a lot, and it is compared to a one-capsule-a-day product. But the math is simple: you need 3600 mg of calcium-HMB to approach the studied dosage, and each capsule contains 900 mg. One or two capsules a day won't reach those 3 grams of HMB. You can take all four at once or spread them throughout the day, for example around your workout. Many athletes use HMB in addition to their existing routine with protein and creatine, as the mechanisms don't interfere with each other. The jar contains 365 capsules, which, at four per day, lasts for over three months, just enough to sustain a complete training block without having to reorder in the meantime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, it provides a direct and stable source of HMB: 3024 mg of pure HMB daily from the well-studied calcium form, supplemented with 520 mg of calcium.

It also contains shiitake, hericium (also known as lion's mane), oyster mushroom, and maitake. Each extract is standardized for polysaccharides, the long chains of sugars that mushrooms are naturally rich in. For example, 10:1 cordyceps extract provides 400 mg of polysaccharides per daily dose, and 6:1 reishi extract provides another 200 mg. For hericium, the label indicates 120 mg of polysaccharides in addition to 20 mg of beta-glucans. Good to know: a 30:1 extract means that thirty parts of fresh mushroom have been concentrated into one part of powder. The higher this ratio, the more concentrated the extract. Together, the six mushroom extracts provide over one thousand milligrams of polysaccharides per daily dose, which is the focus of this type of formula. Shiitake, oyster mushroom, and maitake each contribute another 120 to 160 mg of polysaccharides per daily dose, so the contribution does not come from just one or two species. Since each extract is listed separately on the label, you can see precisely which mushroom contributes what, instead of a vague addition under the heading \"mushroom blend.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Betaine and Taurine Add\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this mushroom complex different from an ordinary mushroom complex is the addition of betaine and taurine. Betaine, also called TMG or trimethylglycine, is largely present in the formula with 2000 mg per daily dose. It is a substance naturally found in your body and also found, for example, in beetroot and wheat bran. In addition, the formula contains 1000 mg of L-taurine, an amino acid naturally present in your body and often found in sports and energy formulas. These two substances are not mushroom extracts, but GEN deliberately added them to the complex. Thus, everything the manufacturer wanted to combine is in one capsule, rather than in separate jars on your countertop. Betaine is often obtained in the food industry from sugar beet, while taurine is produced by synthesis or fermentation. Both are present here in fixed quantities, so you have the same intake every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAstraGin as an Addition to the Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's where AstraGin comes in. AstraGin is a patented branded raw material, composed of extracts of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus. It is found in more and more modern sports and wellness formulas. In this mushroom extract-rich product, there are 25 mg of AstraGin per daily dose. Many people wonder why betaine and taurine are in a mushroom formula. In short: GEN has combined mushrooms with substances that you normally find in sports nutrition, so you only need one jar. It is a modern take on the classic mushroom supplement, where the six species remain the starting point and the rest is a complement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegetable Capsules Without Unnecessary Additions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl Privilege\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is vegetable and made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. This mushroom complex is therefore a vegan choice. The product is also lactose-free and gluten-free. GEN adds no superfluous colorings or fillers, only what is technically necessary to fill the capsule. Per jar, you get 180 capsules, enough for thirty days at six capsules per day. You take them without chewing with sufficient liquid, possibly spread throughout the day. Whether you are already familiar with mushrooms or just starting, this keeps your daily routine simple. You preferably take the capsules at a fixed time, for example at breakfast, so as not to forget the six. At this dosage, one jar lasts exactly one month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: Peak Oxygen brings together six mushroom extracts with betaine, taurine, and AstraGin in 180 vegetable capsules, enough for one month.

These tablets from German Elite Nutrition provide 10 mg of boron per unit, sourced from sodium borate. One pot contains 365 vegan tablets, to be taken at a rate of one tablet per day. A boron supplement can hardly be simpler, and that is precisely the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat boron is and where it is found\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoron is a mineral found in earth, rock, and water. Through the roots, it makes its way into crops, and thus onto your plate. It is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, such as apples, pears, raisins, and almonds. The exact amount of boron present in a food varies greatly. This depends on the soil in which it grew. Two apples from different regions can therefore contain very different amounts. Your body does not produce boron itself; you only get it through food. What many people do not know: it is precisely for this reason that daily intake varies greatly from person to person. One day you eat many boron-rich products, another day almost nothing. In food, boron is found primarily in plant products. Meat, fish, and dairy products provide little, while vegetables, fruits, and nuts contain more. Those who eat a lot of plant-based foods therefore often achieve a higher intake than those who do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBoron from sodium borate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this formula, boron is present as sodium borate, a salt of boric acid that the body absorbs well. Each tablet provides 10 mg of boron. The rest of the tablet consists of a plant-based filler, microcrystalline cellulose. There is nothing else. No black pepper, no colorings, no flavorings. In short: boron and a filler, and nothing else. This clean composition also makes the tablet suitable for vegans and people who are mindful of additives. Boron exists in different forms, and sodium borate is one of the most common. It is a stable compound that is easily formed into a tablet without the need for all sorts of excipients. This keeps the label short and clear: you can see at a glance what you are taking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBoron among other trace elements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoron, or borium, is one of the trace elements, just like zinc, selenium, iodine, and copper. These are minerals that you only get in very small amounts through food, unlike major minerals like calcium and magnesium, of which you need several hundred milligrams per day. For trace elements, we quickly speak of micrograms to a few milligrams. While zinc and selenium are known to many, boron often remains in the shadows. Yet it is present in a varied diet, especially in plant-based products. Since the intake varies so much from person to person and from day to day, some people choose to give this variable amount a fixed form. A supplement is then a way to get the same measured amount of boron every day, regardless of what happens to be on your plate that day. For those who prefer not to leave their intake to chance, this is a practical starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10 mg per tablet, one year in a pot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach package contains 365 tablets. At a rate of one tablet per day, you have enough for a whole year. The tablets are small, tasteless, and easy to swallow. This way, you get the same measured amount of boron every day, without having to weigh or handle powder. These 10 mg per tablet are not chosen at random: this is exactly the upper limit that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets for adults for daily intake via supplements. So stick to one tablet per day and do not exceed this amount. Otherwise, use is simple, as there is no fixed time to adhere to. You take the tablet with some water at a time that suits you, at breakfast or in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, this is a pure boron supplement: 10 mg of boron per tablet, a plant-based filler, and nothing else.

The active coloring agent it contains is called \u003cstrong\u003ecurcumin\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that's precisely what this supplement contains. Not in ordinary powder form, but as NovaSOL, a liquid form that your body absorbs more easily. Two capsules a day together provide 1000 mg of NovaSOL Curcumin. German Elite Nutrition deliberately chooses this form because curcumin is inherently a substance that is difficult to absorb. And this absorption story is really the core of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy curcumin is normally poorly absorbed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin has an inconvenient property: it barely dissolves in water. If you take it as a powder, most of it passes through your intestines unused and leaves your body before anything happens. In addition, your liver breaks down curcumin at lightning speed. Result: from a good dose of turmeric powder, only a fraction reaches your bloodstream. Manufacturers have been trying for years to circumvent this problem. The best-known trick is to add black pepper (piperine), which slows down the breakdown a bit. NovaSOL approaches the problem from another angle, namely that of solubility itself. And that's an important difference, because it's precisely this poor water solubility that explains why curcumin has such difficulty reaching your bloodstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat NovaSOL does to absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNovaSOL is a patented technique in which curcumin is encapsulated in micelles. A micelle is a tiny, microscopic sphere with a fatty side on the inside and a water side on the outside. Because this exterior is water-soluble, the curcumin effortlessly mixes with the watery contents of your intestines and passes through the intestinal wall much more easily. In short: your body no longer has to solve the absorption problem itself, because it's already done before the capsule reaches your stomach. In studies, the absorption of micellar curcumin is measured many times higher than that of standard curcumin powder. You can see a micelle as a tiny transport bubble that guides the fatty curcumin through the watery environment of your intestines. For comparison: black pepper increases absorption to a much lesser extent, and liposomal forms usually don't even come close to what a micellar formula achieves. This difference in absorption technique is precisely what distinguishes NovaSOL from other curcumin supplements. It is precisely for this reason that this type of formula can make do with a relatively small amount of curcuminoids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1000 mg formula, 60 mg curcuminoids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the label, you see two figures that are easily confused. The 1000 mg refers to the total amount of NovaSOL Curcumin per daily dose, including the carrier substance that forms the micelles. The 60 mg corresponds to the amount of pure curcuminoids it contains, the actual active substance. Do not compare this figure one-to-one with a highly dosed standard extract of, for example, 95 percent. What many people don't realize is that thanks to the much higher absorption of the micellar form, such a small amount of curcumin reaches your bloodstream more easily than a large dose of powder which, on paper, seems more impressive. So it's not about what's in the capsule, but what you actually absorb from it. A high number on the packaging says nothing about how much ultimately ends up in your bloodstream. With poorly absorbed forms, a large part can simply leave your body unused. With the micellar form, it's different, because the curcumin reaches your intestines already in an absorbable form. Thus, you get more from 60 mg of curcuminoids than you would from multiple amounts of poorly absorbed powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and laboratory-tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based, making them suitable if you eat vegan or vegetarian. They contain no lactose, gluten, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Each batch is laboratory-tested for purity, which, with a patented raw material like NovaSOL, is standard practice. This way, you know precisely what you're ingesting and the composition is verifiable. This is also part of a transparent curcumin supplement. For those who use curcumin daily, this certainty about origin and purity is just as important as the dosage itself. You want to know that you are receiving the same controlled quality every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, this product is based on a simple fact: curcumin is interesting but difficult to absorb, and NovaSOL precisely solves this problem.

This combination from German Elite Nutrition brings together two well-known pre-workout amino acids in a fixed 1:1 ratio. A daily dose of six capsules provides 3300 mg of L-arginine and 3300 mg of L-citrulline DL-malate, for a total of 6600 mg. A jar contains 320 vegan capsules, enough for approximately 53 daily doses. Among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, this is a classic duo often taken around training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Complementary Amino Acids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-arginine and L-citrulline are both amino acids linked to each other in the body. The body notably uses L-arginine in the production of nitric oxide, a small molecule that plays a role in blood vessels. L-citrulline, in turn, is a precursor to arginine: in the kidneys, citrulline can be converted into arginine. Because citrulline takes this detour, it becomes available more gradually than arginine taken directly. This is neutral biochemical data that says nothing in itself about the effect of this supplement. For both L-arginine and L-citrulline, there are currently no authorized European health claims. This is why we describe the amino acids only as components and leave open the question of what everyone expects from them. In sports nutrition, arginine and citrulline have long been known as a popular pre-workout duo, often present in so-called \"pump\" formulas. The idea of taking them together comes from the fact that they participate in the same metabolic pathway in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 1:1 Ratio and Chosen Forms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArginine is present in this product as L-arginine base, the free form of the amino acid. This form contains a high proportion of pure arginine per gram, as no acid is coupled to it as in the HCL form. Citrulline is present as L-citrulline DL-malate in a 2:1 ratio, meaning there are two parts citrulline to one part malate. Malate is a salt of malic acid. Per daily dose of six capsules, this represents 3300 mg of arginine base and 3300 mg of citrulline-malate, a 1:1 ratio between the two amino acids. Each capsule thus contains approximately 1100 mg of active substance. By combining the two amino acids in fixed quantities, you don't have to weigh or mix anything yourself. Those who are used to stacking free powders get a fixed, always identical base ratio here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Capsules Instead of Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArginine and citrulline are also sold as free powder, but not everyone wants to handle a scoop and a shaker. In capsule form, the dosage is already measured for you, and you take the amino acids without tasting the slightly salty or acidic flavor of free powders. Convenient when you're on the go or want to keep your pre-workout simple. For those who want to maintain a fixed daily amount, a capsule is also easier to track than hand-measured scoops of powder. The capsules are vegan, so the casing is plant-based and contains no gelatin. A jar of 320 capsules lasts about eight weeks at six capsules per day. This gives you a comfortable supply without having to reorder constantly. The capsules are also easy to carry in your gym bag, where a jar of powder quickly becomes cumbersome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Athletes Use This Combination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily dose is six capsules. Many athletes take them around their training, for example, a portion before exercise as part of their pre-workout routine. There is no fixed time, so you can also spread the six capsules throughout the day if that suits you better. As this is a ready-to-use combination, this product can be easily combined with other elements of sports nutrition, such as beta-alanine, taurine, or a carbohydrate source around training. Take the capsules with plenty of water and use them as a supplement to a varied diet. Some people experience a slight tingling sensation with arginine on an empty stomach; this is a known and harmless sensation that disappears on its own. Observe the indicated daily dose and do not exceed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is L-arginine base and L-citrulline DL-malate in a 1:1 ratio, with 6600 mg per daily dose and 320 vegan capsules per jar.

This means that you are not entirely dependent on diet for its production; in this case, your body makes it from phenylalanine. In the diet, tyrosine is found primarily in protein-rich products such as cheese, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and legumes. The name even refers to it: tyrosine is derived from the Greek word for cheese, as the substance was first extracted from it. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and tyrosine is one of them. As an isolated supplement, L-tyrosine provides a fixed amount per capsule, so you receive the same dosage every time, regardless of what else is on your plate. This makes it easier to accurately track your daily intake. This differs from tyrosine from food, the amount of which can vary greatly from meal to meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e950 mg per capsule, highly dosed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultra capsules each contain 950 mg of L-tyrosine, one of the highest dosages per capsule on the market. With four capsules per day, you reach 3800 mg. Since each capsule contains a lot, the capsules are a bit larger than average; this is the trade-off for a high dosage without excipients. The raw material is produced by a vegetable fermentation process, during which microorganisms build tyrosine from a nutrient medium. Since nothing is added, you know precisely with each capsule how much L-tyrosine you are taking. You can easily adjust the number of capsules to your own needs: some people take less on quiet days and the full four on busy or intensive days. Since the dosage per capsule is high, you need fewer than for products containing, for example, 500 mg per capsule, which keeps daily intake simple. For those who prefer a lower dosage, dividing the daily portion is simple: just omit a capsule, without breaking or weighing anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and additive-free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule consists of L-tyrosine and a plant-based HPMC shell.

The product is therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and is free from the most common additives. It is also gluten-free and lactose-free. Each batch is controlled in an independent laboratory for purity and content, so that the composition remains identical from one container to the next and the 950 mg indicated on the label truly corresponds to 950 mg in the capsule. For those who pay attention to a short ingredient list without unnecessary fillers, this is an appreciated feature. With this product, you know exactly what you have in hand: the amino acid and the plant-based shell, and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse and storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake four capsules daily with sufficient water, preferably spread throughout the day. Many people prefer to take L-tyrosine in the morning, but you can adjust the timing to suit you. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose and use the product as a supplement, not as a substitute for your diet. Store the container tightly closed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of young children. With 365 capsules per container, you have approximately three months' supply at home, at a rate of four capsules per day.

Additionally, lutein, a plant substance derived from marigolds, has been added. This broad composition makes this multivitamin complex a general supplement to your diet, rather than an isolated high dosage of a single nutrient. Many wonder whether a multivitamin is truly beneficial alongside a normal diet. A varied diet remains the foundation; a complex like this complements it, for example during busy periods or in case of an irregular diet. Athletes and individuals with demanding schedules often consciously choose such a broad base, as their micronutrient needs may then be higher.

Vitamin D3 is a vegan variant. This is a deliberate choice: some cheaper multivitamins use forms like folic acid or cyanocobalamin, whereas here you get the forms your body can use directly. The supplement contains no superfluous excipients, animal-derived ingredients, or artificial additives. Active forms cost more to purchase, but the body does not need to convert them before it can use them.

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Zinc and selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell and hemoglobin formation. Vitamin D and calcium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Iodine, copper, and manganese contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Finally, potassium contributes to normal muscle function. This complex thus covers a wide range of functions with a single formula. Bones, the immune system, energy metabolism, and muscles all appear in the claims, distributed across the different nutrients. We only mention the officially authorized claims of the vitamins and minerals here; there is no authorized claim for the added lutein, so we deliberately do not mention it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexible dosage, 4 to 8 capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intake is flexible: you take four to eight capsules per day, spread out and during a meal with sufficient water. At four capsules, you are at half the reference values, at eight at the full daily serving. This allows you to adapt the dosage to what you need, for example, a lower intake on calm days and the full eight during a busy or intense period, such as around a heavy training block. One pot contains 240 capsules, so at eight per day, you get thirty days. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of eight capsules. Preferably take them with a meal, as fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are then better absorbed. If you spread the capsules throughout the day, you maintain a regular intake. In summary, this is a comprehensive multivitamin complex with 25 nutrients in active forms, with flexible dosing, as a daily base for your diet. Those who already use isolated supplements can take a multivitamin like this as a base and consciously add an isolated higher dosage, for example, additional vitamin D in winter. Make sure not to double up on the same nutrient with isolated products. As fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are accompanied by a meal, many people take the capsules at breakfast or lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386120216804,"sku":"gen-123","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/AllInOneMineraal_VitamineComplexGEN.jpg?v=1783855452"},{"product_id":"gen-clear-whey-protein-isolate-900g-pasteque","title":"Clear Whey Protein Isolate Watermelon | 900 g | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGerman Elite Nutrition Watermelon Clear Whey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew flavors scream summer as loudly as watermelon. This \u003cstrong\u003eclear whey\u003c\/strong\u003e from German Elite Nutrition captures that taste in a clear protein shake. The powder contains whey protein isolate, and the drink has a sweet, summery taste, like a bite of cold watermelon. This gives you 24.5 grams of protein per serving, in a drink that remains light and transparent. A 900-gram tub provides 30 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTransparent through and through\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's most striking about clear whey is its clarity. While an ordinary shake looks cloudy and creamy, this drink remains transparent, almost like lemonade. This comes from the protein it contains. A classic shake often uses whey concentrate, which still contains fats and milk sugar, making the drink thick. This variant uses whey protein isolate, the most filtered form of whey. At the factory, the protein is purified to the point where almost all fats and most lactose disappear. What remains dissolves clearly in cold water, aided by a little citric acid that keeps the acidity low. This gives you the freshness of a cold drink with the protein content of a shake. Proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass, and with 24.5 grams per serving, you get that same amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatermelon as a thirst quencher\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl অনুমান--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatermelon is the ultimate thirst quencher: sweet, watery, and refreshing. This summery taste is also found in this powder, and that's precisely why the shake drinks like a soda on a hot day. The taste is sweet but not heavy, as no sugar has been added; the sweetness comes from the sucralose sweetener. After a sweaty workout or a long day in the sun, this is exactly the kind of drink you crave: something cold and fruity rather than creamy. Prepare the shake with plenty of ice and let the foam settle for a moment after shaking, then you'll have a clear and refreshing drink. Drinking two servings on a hot day? That goes down effortlessly. Especially during the summer months, when you sweat and drink more, this is a pleasant way to still get your protein. A large water bottle with ice and water works just as well, convenient if you take the shake to the gym.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtein without the heaviness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer 30-gram serving, you get 24.5 grams of protein and about 103 kcal. Fats and carbohydrates remain below a tenth of a gram, and sugars are almost entirely absent. This is the strength of isolate: almost everything is protein, with little else. This way, you supplement your protein without consuming many calories, which is convenient if you are watching your weight or need a lot of protein. Proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass, and proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. The powder contains milk and lactose. Isolate contains less milk sugar than concentrate, but it is not entirely lactose-free, so keep this in mind if you are sensitive to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparation and planning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake or mix one 30-gram scoop into 300 ml of cold water. In water, the clear, fresh texture is best highlighted; with skimmed milk, it becomes thicker but less transparent. A blender is not necessary. You can take 1 to 3 servings per day, spread throughout the day or around your workout. Many people drink their shake right after exercise, when the body craves protein and thirst is greatest. A cold watermelon shake is perfect for this. Store the powder in a cool, dry place, seal the tub tightly after use, and prepare each serving fresh with ice water for the best taste. On the go, all you need is a shaker and cold water, so you can prepare your serving anywhere in a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this watermelon variant is a summery and thirst-quenching way to get your protein. You drink it like a soda, with 24.5 grams of protein per glass and without the full aftertaste of a creamy shake. One tub lasts for 30 servings.

The D3 is sourced from lichen, not lanolin as in most D3 supplements. This makes it a completely plant-based variant. Per tablet, you get 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 200 µg of K2, making it a high-dose formula for those looking to specifically supplement their intake. This is ideal for informed consumers, vegans, or anyone who spends little time outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D3 from lichen precisely means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost vitamin D3s on the market are extracted from lanolin, a waxy substance from sheep's wool. GEN opts for an alternative source: lichen. Chemically, the result is the same cholecalciferol, but the origin is plant-based. For those following a vegan lifestyle, this is a significant difference. Your body normally produces vitamin D3 in the skin under the influence of sunlight. In autumn and winter, or if you stay indoors a lot, this production drops sharply. This is precisely why so many people turn to a supplement during the darker months. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Furthermore, vitamin D3 contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and normal muscle function. Vitamin D also plays a role in the process of cell division. Additionally, vitamin D is necessary for normal growth and bone development in children. This wide range of functions explains why vitamin D is one of the most supplemented vitamins, especially in countries with scarce winter sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy K2VITAL MK-7 is added\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work as a team. Vitamin D3 contributes to normal blood calcium concentrations. But calcium then needs to get to the right place, namely your bones. This is where vitamin K2 comes in. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. MK-7 (menaquinone-7) is the form of K2 that your body retains longest in the bloodstream. The K2 in this tablet is K2VITAL®, a standardized raw material with 99.7% all-trans MK-7. This all-trans form is relevant because your body retains it better and longer than the cis form. The half-life of MK-7 is also longer than that of K1 or MK-4, resulting in more stable levels in the blood. Thus, the two vitamins complement each other in one tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e5,000 IU Vitamin D3 per tablet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per tablet, you are well above the usual maintenance dose of 400 to 1,000 IU per day. This is a deliberate choice. The recommended use is indeed one tablet every five days. This way, you spread the high dose over a longer period, instead of taking it daily. The 200 µg of K2 per tablet corresponds to the amount often used in clinical studies. Both vitamins are fat-soluble. This means your body absorbs them better when you take them with a meal containing some fat. An avocado toast or a handful of nuts is already sufficient. Many wonder if 5,000 IU is not too much; by taking the dose only once every five days, the average daily intake remains limited. If you want to know exactly where you stand, you can have your vitamin D levels measured by a blood test at the doctor and adjust your intake accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA short, plant-based composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablet has a short ingredient list. Besides vitamin D3 and K2, it only contains microcrystalline cellulose as a filler and stearic acid, nothing more. No gelatin, no shellac, no animal-derived additives. The entire formula is vegan and laboratory-tested. A jar contains 180 tablets. At one tablet every five days, you have enough for over nine months, which is convenient if you don't want to reorder constantly. Thus, with this D3 from lichen, combined with K2VITAL®, you maintain clear and fully plant-based supplementation.

These include vitamin C, vitamin D3, and zinc, supplemented notably with green tea, echinacea, elderberry, and beta-glucans. This page explains what the three vitamins and the mineral in this formula mean according to EU regulations, and what plant extracts are also included. It is one of the broadest immune formulas in the range, with ten components in a single capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Micronutrients with Established Functions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of Immunity Essentials consists of three substances about which we can say something according to European regulations. Vitamin C, vitamin D3, and zinc all contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. The dosages per daily serving are clear: 300 mg of vitamin C, 25 micrograms (1000 IU) of vitamin D3, and 15 mg of zinc. These are generous amounts, well above the threshold required to make a claim. Vitamin C is at 375% of the reference intake, vitamin D3 at 500%, and zinc at 150%, meaning that with one daily serving you remain well within the permitted limits. Besides immune function, these nutrients do more. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the reduction of fatigue. Zinc plays a role in the process of cell division. The full list of authorized claims for vitamin C, D, and zinc can be found further down this page, exactly as they appear in the European database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeven Plant Extracts in the Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurrounding the three micronutrients is a series of plant extracts that the manufacturer calls a Synergy Matrix. It contains green tea leaf extract (with L-theanine and EGCG, the well-known plant compounds from green tea), beta-glucans from yeast, Sophora japonica extract (with quercetin), echinacea, elderberry, pine bark, and nettle leaf. What many people don't know: for these botanical extracts, no approved EU claims are available, so we describe them only as components. Elderberry and echinacea might be familiar to you from plant tradition, green tea is world-renowned, and pine bark is a bit more exotic. Many of these extracts are standardized for their characteristic substances, such as 200 mg of L-theanine and 185 mg of EGCG from green tea per daily serving. This standardization keeps proportions consistent between batches, so you absorb the same composition every time. Without standardization, the content of plant substances can indeed vary greatly from one harvest to another. The precise amount of each extract per daily serving is listed in the table, so you don't have to guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Vitamin D3 from a Plant Source?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin D3 in Immunity Essentials comes from RAWD3, a plant-based source of D3 extracted from pine. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form your skin also produces under the influence of sunlight. Normally, D3 mainly comes from animal sources like fatty fish or lanolin, but the plant-based variant makes this formula suitable if you eat vegan. This is where the RAWD3 source comes in. In short: you receive the same form of vitamin D that your body recognizes, but from a plant rather than an animal. Per daily serving, the formula provides 25 micrograms, or 1000 international units. Many people wonder why D3 is indicated in IU and micrograms: these are two ways to express the same quantity, where 1 microgram equals 40 IU. It is especially in winter, when your skin sees little sunlight, that many people choose to absorb additional vitamin D through diet or a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan Capsules, 45 Servings per Jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based and made from HPMC, without gelatin, and therefore suitable if you eat vegan or vegetarian. One jar contains 180 capsules. You take four per day, so one jar is sufficient for 45 days, well over a month and a half. The four capsules can be taken all at once or spread throughout the day, depending on what you remember best. The manufacturing process aims for purity and the avoidance of superfluous additives, without artificial colorings. This gives you a comprehensive formula in which the three vitamins and the mineral with an established function are combined with a series of plant extracts. For those who want a compact routine, such a matrix avoids having to swallow separate jars of vitamin C, D, and zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Immunity Essentials is a complete formula with vitamin C, D3, and zinc as the substances for which the EU authorizes claims, supplemented by seven plant extracts that we describe factually.

It is intended for people who want to thoughtfully supplement their diet with a comprehensive blend of plant-based raw materials. One pot contains 180 vegan capsules, which is 30 daily doses of six capsules. Since all capsules are plant-based, the product is also suitable for a vegan lifestyle. Thus, instead of several separate pots, you get a series of plant extracts combined into a fixed daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant sterols from Lipophytol\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of this formula is plant sterols, also called phytosterols. These are plant substances whose structure resembles that of cholesterol and are naturally present in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. In a normal diet, they are usually present in small amounts, so a supplement provides a fixed and higher dose. In this product, they come from Lipophytol, a standardized source based on pine extract. A daily dose of six capsules provides 900 mg of plant sterols. This is important because plant sterols contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. This beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of at least 0.8 grams of plant sterols, and with 0.9 grams, this formula is just above that. This is the only component of this product for which European legislation allows a health claim. We describe the other plant extracts without claims, as there are currently no approved European texts about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSix plant extracts around sterols\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to plant sterols, each daily dose contains a series of standardized extracts. Citrus bergamot (1000 mg) is a citrus fruit native to southern Italy and provides 300 mg of polyphenols. Black garlic (700 mg) is obtained by fermenting ordinary garlic, resulting in a milder and better-tolerated raw material, without the pungent smell of garlic. Artichoke (600 mg) is a natural source of cynarin, at a rate of 30 mg per day. There is also myo-inositol (500 mg), a substance used in many modern formulas, and grape seed extract (300 mg) which provides 210 mg of OPCs, a group of polyphenols from the seed. Myo-inositol is related to sugars and present in many foods. Grape seed extract is obtained from the seeds that remain during wine production. Each extract is standardized, so you know exactly what concentrations you are getting instead of a vague mix of plants. Citrus bergamot owes its notoriety to its high polyphenol content, while OPCs from grape seeds belong to the same family of plant substances. Black garlic is appreciated because the fermentation process removes the pungent taste, and many people know artichoke mainly as a vegetable. These extracts are more often found in formulas focused on a thoughtful lifestyle, but rarely all combined in a single product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAstraGin for absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula is completed by AstraGin, a patented complex based on extracts of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus. Both plants have been used for a long time in Asian herbal traditions. The name AstraGin is a brand designating this complex, and not a plant species in itself. There are 25 mg per daily dose. AstraGin is used in many modern supplements and is intended to be part of the matrix around plant extracts. This ingredient, too, we describe without a health claim. Together, the seven active substances form a broad plant matrix, which is not often found in this combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsule and a fixed daily rhythm\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based (HPMC), making the product suitable for a vegan lifestyle. You take three capsules in the morning and three in the evening, each time with a meal and sufficient water. By spreading the intake, you get the plant sterols at two times, which corresponds to your way of eating throughout the day. Many people wonder how many plant sterols they need per day: this threshold of 0.8 grams is reached with the full daily dose of six capsules, spread over two times. In summary, Cholesterol Control is a comprehensive plant-based formula in which plant sterols play the main role, supplemented by bergamot, artichoke, black garlic, grape seed, myo-inositol, and AstraGin, in a convenient vegan capsule. As the daily dose is spread over two times, the product easily integrates into a fixed morning and evening ritual around meals.

The kiwi flavor is fresh enough to consume multiple times a day without being too sweet. Serve it preferably well chilled, as this best highlights the fresh note. If you prefer something citrusy, there's an orange-lime variant with the exact same formula. This allows you to alternate without sacrificing any of the composition.

To this are added 3800 mg of L-citrulline malate (2:1), of which 2530 mg is L-citrulline, plus 1400 mg of taurine and 2000 mg of coconut water powder. Sabeet® is a beetroot extract with naturally occurring nitrates (5 mg of nitrate per serving), and Senactiv® is a branded complex of Panax notoginseng extract and Rosa roxburghii fruit extract. Vitamins B1 (2 mg) and B6 (2 mg) complete the formula. The minerals are incorporated as citrate and chloride, and sucralose is used as a sweetener. Additionally, there are 4.76 g of inulin fiber per serving. Inulin is a soluble fiber derived, among other things, from chicory root and gives the drink a little more body without adding sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Role of Electrolytes and B Vitamins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring exercise, you lose fluid and minerals through sweat.

The added B vitamins participate in your metabolism: vitamins B1 and B6 contribute to normal energy metabolism, and vitamin B6 also contributes to the reduction of fatigue and the normal functioning of the immune system. Thus, the kiwi variant covers both your fluid and mineral replenishment. The 900 mg of sodium was deliberately chosen to be high, as sodium is the mineral you lose in the greatest quantity when sweating.

Then you know the problem: you need carbohydrates, but you don't want a full stomach on the way. \u003cstrong\u003eCyclic Dextrin\u003c\/strong\u003e is made precisely for this purpose. This German Elite Nutrition powder is made from one hundred percent highly branched cyclic dextrin, also known as Cluster Dextrin. A serving of approximately 62 grams provides 59 grams of carbohydrates. Convenient for cyclists, endurance athletes, and crossfitters who want to refuel during exercise without stomach upset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Cyclic Dextrin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclic dextrin is made from starch, most often corn. Through an enzymatic process, a high molecular weight carbohydrate with a particular branched structure is created. This is where the name highly branched cyclic dextrin comes from. It remains a normally digestible carbohydrate, so it provides you with glucose as fuel. The difference with sugar or standard maltodextrin is not in what it is, but in how your body handles it. And it is precisely this behavior that makes it interesting for sports where you are active for a long time and intensely. Cluster Dextrin was originally developed for top-level sports, where constant energy and a calm stomach can make the difference between continuing and collapsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy your stomach stays calm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where the crux of the matter lies. Cyclic dextrin has low osmolarity, meaning it attracts little water into your stomach and intestines. Ordinary sugars and many conventional carbohydrate drinks do this, and this is precisely what can give you a bloated, sloshing feeling on the go. Thanks to this low osmolarity, cyclic dextrin leaves your stomach faster than, for example, glucose. Your fuel therefore becomes available more quickly, while the risk of cramps or a heavy stomach remains lower. In practice, this means: less worry about your digestion and more focus on your pace. Cyclic dextrin particularly shows its advantage during exertion lasting more than an hour and a half. For a short, gentle workout, you notice less difference with ordinary carbohydrates; the longer and more intensely active you are, the clearer it becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many carbohydrates per hour in endurance sports\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor endurance sports, there are rules of thumb. During rides or workouts lasting more than an hour, you want to absorb roughly 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour, and during long and intensive exertion, you increase to 60 to 90 grams per hour. One serving of this powder provides 59 grams of carbohydrates, thus roughly covering your need for an hour. If you want to approach those 90 grams, many endurance athletes combine cyclic dextrin with a little fructose in a ratio of about two to one, so that your body absorbs carbohydrates via several pathways at once. Two EU-approved claims are relevant here. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and\/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle. This beneficial effect is obtained by consuming, from all sources, 4 g of carbohydrates per kg of body weight, in divided doses, within 4 hours and no later than 6 hours after exercise. Furthermore, carbohydrates contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function; this effect is obtained with a daily intake of 130 grams of carbohydrates from all sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to prepare your own sports drink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclic dextrin has been deliberately kept plain. It contains no flavorings, sweeteners, or fillers, nor electrolytes. This may seem like a weakness, but it actually gives you control. Mix approximately 62 grams of powder with 500 to 750 milliliters of water or a sports drink, and you have your base. Want flavor? Add a little syrup or flavoring. Sweating a lot? Add a pinch of salt or an electrolyte mix yourself. This way, you build a drink that exactly matches your ride or workout. Drink it before, during, or after exercise, depending on your own carbohydrate needs. The powder dissolves well and is entirely vegan and free from gluten, lactose, and added sugars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: cyclic dextrin is a carbohydrate source that keeps your stomach calm at moments that matter. Pure, soluble, and freely combinable, made for athletes who are on the go for hours and take their fuel seriously. Always test your mixture first during a regular workout, so that on the hardest day, you know exactly what your stomach can handle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386120904932,"sku":"gen-075","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/CyclicDextrinGEN.jpg?v=1783855512"},{"product_id":"gen-l-carnitine-triple-complex-120-gelules","title":"L-Carnitine Triple Complex | 120 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eL-Carnitine Triple Complex by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for \u003cstrong\u003eL-carnitine\u003c\/strong\u003e in more than one form? German Elite Nutrition's L-Carnitine Triple Complex combines three forms of carnitine in a single capsule. A daily dose of four capsules provides a total of 3000 mg of carnitine compounds, distributed among acetyl-L-carnitine, L-carnitine tartrate, and L-carnitine fumarate. One container holds 120 vegan capsules, enough for 30 daily doses. Among athletes, L-carnitine is a familiar name, especially for those who do a lot of cardio or monitor their diet, and this formula brings together three of the common forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat L-carnitine is and its role in the cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-carnitine is a substance naturally present in the body, related to amino acids. Your body produces it itself from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and it is also found mainly in meat; it's no coincidence that its name comes from the Latin word for meat. In the cell, L-carnitine plays a role in the transport of long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, the elements of the cell where energy is released. This is neutral biochemical data that describes what the substance does, and it says nothing in itself about the effect of this supplement. For L-carnitine, there are currently no authorized European health claims. This is why we describe the substance only as a component and leave open the question of what everyone expects from it. Vegetarians and vegans generally consume less carnitine through their diet than meat-eaters, which explains why they often turn to a separate supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree forms of carnitine in one capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special feature of this formula is the combination of three forms of carnitine, each constructed slightly differently. Acetyl-L-carnitine is L-carnitine with an acetyl group attached. L-carnitine tartrate is carnitine bound to tartaric acid (tartrate), a form often found in sports nutrition. L-carnitine fumarate is carnitine bound to fumaric acid, a substance that naturally has a place in the cell's energy metabolism. In all three cases, it is the same carnitine, simply coupled with a different partner. By combining them, you get carnitine from multiple sources at once, without having to buy three separate containers. Each form practically has its followers; one swears by tartrate around training, the other by acetyl-L-carnitine for daily intake. With this complex, you don't have to make that choice. The formula also contains no superfluous additions like fillers or anti-caking agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3000 mg per daily dose of four capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose consists of four capsules that provide a total of 3000 mg of carnitine compounds, distributed among the three forms. Per capsule, this represents 750 mg. Since the dosage is already present in the capsules, you don't have to weigh or mix anything yourself, unlike a loose carnitine powder. The capsules are vegan: the shell is plant-based and contains no gelatin. This is not a given for carnitine products, as carnitine has always been associated with meat. Here, however, the carnitine comes from a manufacturing process without animal raw materials, making the product compatible with a plant-based diet. A container of 120 capsules lasts exactly one month at four capsules per day, after which you can reorder at a regular pace. Since everything is already dosed, you know exactly how much carnitine you are taking with each dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow athletes use L-carnitine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost users take four capsules daily with enough water, divided or at once. Many athletes choose to take them around their training, for example before a cardio or strength training session, even if there is no prescribed fixed time. You can also divide the four capsules throughout the day, for example with two meals. L-carnitine combines perfectly with other elements of a sports nutrition routine, from a pre-workout to a protein shake after exercise. Take the capsules as a complement to a varied diet and respect the indicated daily dose. Four capsules per day is the upper limit indicated by the manufacturer; do not exceed this daily amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is L-carnitine in three forms, with 3000 mg per daily dose and 120 vegan capsules per container. A choice for athletes who prefer to take carnitine from multiple sources at once rather than a single form, and who prefer the convenience of a dosed capsule to a loose powder to weigh themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386120970468,"sku":"gen-039","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/L-CarnitineComplexGEN.jpg?v=1783855514"},{"product_id":"gen-maca-extreme-365-gelules","title":"Maca Extreme (Maca Extract 10:1 600mg) | 365 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaca Extreme by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for the concentrated form of the Peruvian Andean root? German Elite Nutrition's \u003cstrong\u003eMaca\u003c\/strong\u003e Extreme provides a 10:1 extract of maca root, with 600 mg per capsule. This corresponds to 6000 mg of dried root. Maca comes from the high plateaus of Peru, where the plant has been consumed for centuries. It is a plant-based supplement in a vegan capsule, with no additions around the extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat maca is and where it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaca is the root of Lepidium meyenii, a plant from the brassicaceae family related to radish, mustard, and rapeseed. The plant grows high in the Andes, on plateaus around four thousand meters, where conditions are harsh and few other crops survive. It is precisely this tuberous root that is harvested, sun-dried, and then processed. The dried root naturally contains carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fibers, and minerals. In Peru, maca has been part of the daily diet for generations, where the root is cooked, dried, or ground into flour. Indigenous people of the highlands used maca long before the plant became known worldwide. Good to know: here you receive the entire root, in extract form, and not an isolated substance that would have been extracted from it. Maca root comes in different colors, from yellow to red and black, depending on the variety that grows on the highlands. For this extract, dried root is used, then concentrated in a ten-to-one ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 10:1 extract, what it means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 10:1 extract, ten times more root is used than the amount of extract obtained. For every 600 mg of extract in a capsule, approximately 6000 mg of dried maca root has therefore been processed. The difference from bulk maca powder? You get the root in a compact and concentrated form, without having to swallow spoonfuls of powder and without the earthy taste. The formula has been deliberately kept simple: only maca extract and a plant-based capsule shell, nothing else. No colors, no flavors, and no preservatives. Each batch is independently tested for purity, heavy metals, and microbiological quality, so that the content of the capsule matches what is indicated on the label. Such independent control is important for a concentrated plant extract, as the root grows at high altitude and naturally absorbs minerals from the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaca in your day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaca is used by men and women, and fits into all sorts of routines. As maca is originally a food plant, it is easily taken at a fixed time, like regular food. Many people take the capsules spread throughout the day. A practical tip: preferably take maca earlier in the day rather than just before bedtime. The taste of the root is earthy and slightly nutty, but in capsule form, you perceive nothing of it. If you want to know how much root you are absorbing, do a simple calculation: with the full daily portion you reach 3000 mg of extract, which is equivalent to approximately 30,000 mg of root equivalent. This way you maintain control over the quantity that suits you. Some people gradually increase the amount and start with one or two capsules a day, to see how the root fits into their routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA clean and vegan formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), which makes Maca Extreme suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule contains only the maca extract and this vegetable wall. As it contains no fillers, anti-caking agents, or other additions, you know exactly what you are absorbing with each capsule: a 10:1 extract of Lepidium meyenii and nothing else. Since no flavor or color is added, the product remains close to the raw root as it is consumed in Peru. A jar contains 365 capsules. With the full daily portion of five capsules, one jar lasts a little over two months; if you take less, one jar lasts proportionally longer. This way you determine the pace yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with Maca Extreme you get the whole maca root in the form of a concentrated 10:1 extract, directly from the Peruvian Andes. A simple and vegan formula with 600 mg of extract per capsule, which allows you to easily give maca a fixed place in your day.

Clear whey does the opposite. Thanks to whey protein isolate, the most purified form of whey, the powder dissolves transparently. During processing, most of the fat and milk sugar are removed, leaving mostly protein. So you drink a fresh apple drink and not a thick milkshake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protein message remains valid: protein contributes to an increase in muscle mass, and protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. This is especially useful during intensive training. And because the drink is so light to swallow, you can more easily take a serving at times when a creamy shake feels too heavy, such as in the middle of a hot training day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure Isolate, Little Else\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you look at the nutritional value, the simplicity stands out. A 30-gram serving contains 24.5 grams of protein and about 103 kilocalories. Fats and carbohydrates remain below one-tenth of a gram, and no sugar is added. The isolate is almost entirely protein, with very little ballast around it. This adds little to your daily budget: you get a lot of protein for few calories, which is convenient if you're watching your weight while training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtein does more than just good for your muscles, as protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Be aware of one thing: the powder is made from milk and contains lactose. Whey protein isolate contains less of it than concentrate, but the apple variant is not completely lactose-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrink Apple During and After Your Workout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people are looking for: the right time to take clear whey. Right after your workout is a logical choice, as your body can then use the protein while your stomach still needs to settle down. A cold glass of apple drinks like a soft drink at that moment. Take 1 to 3 servings per day, for example, upon waking and immediately after exercise. You can also take a sip now and then during a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shaker is enough, a blender is superfluous. Mix with 300 ml of cold water for the clearest result. If you want it thicker, choose skim milk, although some of the transparent effect will be lost. Shake briefly and let the foam settle for a moment; your apple drink will then appear clear in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApple: Crisp and Green\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste is similar to a fresh green apple: crisp, slightly tart, and just not too sweet. No sugar has been added, as the sweetness comes from the sweetener sucralose. This gives you a thirst-quenching drink that remains light, even for a second glass during the day. This makes the apple variant one of the easiest flavors to drink often. A green apple is neutral enough never to get boring, even after a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecisely because green apple has such a neutral taste, this variant is convenient if you drink a shake every day. A strong taste can eventually become tiresome over time, but the apple remains quietly in the background. This is ideal if you are going through a period where you are watching your calories while still wanting to maintain your protein intake. Play with the powder-to-water ratio: more water gives a lighter, thirst-quenching drink, less water a more pronounced apple taste. For on the go, throw a scoop into an empty shaker and only add cold water when you're ready to drink. This way, a fresh apple drink is always ready in less than a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a clear and refreshing way to get your protein. For athletes who prefer something fresh after a workout rather than a heavy shake, apple is a pleasant and affordable choice that lasts a long time.

The formula is complemented by green tea extract, Ceylon cinnamon, white willow bark, and chromium. The product is intended for individuals who consciously monitor their diet and portion sizes, and are looking for a fiber-rich supplement in capsule form to aid them. The base is deliberately kept plant-based, with fiber as the main active ingredient and a few targeted extracts. One jar contains 270 capsules, enough for approximately one month depending on the daily dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Glucomannan is and How it Acts in Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlucomannan is a soluble dietary fiber extracted from the tuber of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), a crop primarily grown in Asia. What makes this fiber so special? Its ability to bind water. As soon as glucomannan comes into contact with liquid, it swells significantly and forms a thick, gelatinous mass in the stomach. This is why you should always take the capsules with a generous amount of water. With a daily dose of nine capsules, this formula provides 4500 mg of konjac extract, including 4275 mg of pure glucomannan fiber. This is a concentrated amount of fiber from a single plant source. For comparison: to obtain the same amount of soluble fiber from a regular diet, one would have to eat a significant amount of vegetables and legumes. Many people wonder what exactly glucomannan is. In short: it is a plant fiber that your body does not digest, but which retains a lot of liquid along the way. You may know the konjac plant without realizing it. Indeed, it is from the same root that shirataki noodles are made, those translucent noodles from Asian cuisine that consist almost entirely of this fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen Tea Extract, Ceylon Cinnamon, and White Willow Bark\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the fiber base, this appetite suppressant contains three plant extracts, each with its own history. Green tea extract, at 1125 mg per daily dose, is naturally rich in polyphenols. The best known of these is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate, a plant compound characteristic of the leaves of the Camellia sinensis tea plant). Ceylon cinnamon comes from the true cinnamon tree of Sri Lanka. It is not the same as the cheaper cassia cinnamon often found in supermarkets, and is known for its milder aromatic profile. White willow bark, or Salix alba, naturally contains salicin, the plant substance to which willow owes part of its traditional notoriety. These three plants give the formula its plant character and have long been used in various traditions. The difference from isolated plant powders lies in the form: these are extracts, so the plant substances are present in a more concentrated form than in the raw plant. Green tea is made from unprocessed and unfermented tea leaves, which largely preserves the polyphenols. This is precisely the difference from black tea, which undergoes a fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium as a Trace Element in the Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is also added to the formula, in the form of chromium picolinate. Chromium is a trace element that your body obtains from food only in tiny quantities, for example from whole grains, nuts, meat, and broccoli. In these capsules, it serves as a complement alongside the plant extracts. Trace elements like chromium are present in very small amounts in our daily diet, and this is precisely why manufacturers sometimes add them to a supplement. Good to know: the manufacturer does not individually list the exact amount of chromium, Ceylon cinnamon, and white willow bark on the label. Therefore, in the table below, you will only find the dosages that German Elite Nutrition explicitly specifies, namely konjac extract with glucomannan and green tea extract. These two elements together form the clear core of this product, while the other ingredients complete the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan Capsules Without Superfluous Additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules themselves are made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-based alternative to gelatin found in many other capsules.

In addition, the formula contains prickly pear extract (Opuntia ficus-indica), Cinnulin PF (a patented cinnamon bark extract), R-alpha-lipoic acid in the form of a sodium salt, and gymnema sylvestre extract. The latter is standardized to 75% gymnemic acids, the characteristic plant substances of gymnema. What many don't know: for these plant substances, no approved EU claims are currently available, so we describe them only as a component and not according to their effect. Important to know: Invictus GDA does not contain chromium, whereas you do find this mineral in some comparable products. This is a deliberate choice in the composition and a point to pay attention to if you compare different GDA products with each other. This way, you know exactly what makes this product stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Berberine and Cinnamon Are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a yellow plant substance naturally found in various plants, including barberry (Berberis). In this product, it comes from a highly concentrated extract. In short: 100 parts of the plant are concentrated into one part of extract, of which 97% is pure Berberine HCL. This is where cinnamon comes in. Cinnulin PF is a patented cinnamon bark extract, standardized for certain procyanidins, plant substances naturally present in cinnamon. The word patented here means that the manufacturer uses a fixed and registered preparation method, so that the composition is identical every time. This way, you know that each capsule contains the same amount of active parts, regardless of when or where the cinnamon was harvested. With an ordinary, non-standardized extract, this content can vary greatly from batch to batch. For a patented extract, you often pay a little more, but in return, you get this certainty about the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eR-alpha-lipoic Acid and Gymnema\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to berberine and cinnamon, Invictus GDA contains R-alpha-lipoic acid in the form of a sodium salt. Alpha-lipoic acid exists in two mirror-image forms, the R and S forms. The R form is the variant that your body also produces itself, and it is present in this product as a sodium salt, which makes the substance more stable. Note: alpha-lipoic acid is completely different from alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, despite the similar name. Finally, there is gymnema sylvestre, a climbing plant from India whose leaf has long been used in Ayurveda. The plant is known in Sanskrit as gurmar, which roughly means sugar destroyer, a name you often find with this ingredient. The extract is standardized to gymnemic acids. Together, these five substances form the matrix that the manufacturer has composed for this formula. Each of the five is present in a fixed amount per capsule, which you can find in the table further down this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the Athlete Who Plans Their Diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvictus GDA is intended for bodybuilders, fitness athletes, and athletes who consciously plan their meals and supplement regimen around their training. You take one capsule per day, unchewed, with sufficient water during a carbohydrate-rich meal. As a jar contains 120 capsules and you take one per day, a jar lasts four months, making it a clear daily supplement. The capsules are vegetable (HPMC), gelatin-free, and therefore suitable if you eat vegan. The raw materials are laboratory-controlled for purity, which, with patented ingredients like Cinnulin PF, is the usual course of action. For athletes who value control and consistency, this certainty about the origin is just as relevant as the ingredient list itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Invictus GDA is a matrix formula with berberine, cinnamon, R-alpha-lipoic acid, prickly pear, and gymnema, developed with a coach and intended for athletes who strictly plan their diet. We describe the components factually, so that you can assess for yourself whether this combination suits your regimen. Anyone who puts several GDA products side by side will quickly see what substances they contain and at what dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386121756900,"sku":"gen-135","price":43.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/InvictusGDA.jpg?v=1783855576"},{"product_id":"gen-cla-1000mg-240-softgels","title":"CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) 1000mg | 240 Softgels | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCLA by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for a highly dosed \u003cstrong\u003eCLA\u003c\/strong\u003e softgel? German Elite Nutrition's CLA softgels provide 1000 mg of conjugated linoleic acid per softgel. A daily serving of three softgels thus reaches 3000 mg. CLA is a fatty acid from the omega-6 family, most often extracted from vegetable safflower oil. One jar contains 240 softgels. This is a product that athletes often take to supplement their daily diet, in a fixed daily amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is CLA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid. It is a fatty acid naturally present in small quantities in the meat and dairy products of ruminants, such as beef, cheese, and milk. In supplements, it is most often obtained from safflower oil, a vegetable oil derived from the safflower plant. Safflower, also known as thistle oil, is a crop whose linoleic acid is concentrated to obtain the CLA-rich oil in these softgels. The difference from ordinary linoleic acid lies in the molecule's structure: in CLA, the double bonds are located in a different place, and that is precisely what the term conjugated means. These shifted bonds make CLA a distinct group of fatty acids with different variants, called isomers. The oil extract in these softgels is standardized to 80% CLA isomers, including the well-known c9 and t11 forms. Among athletes, CLA is one of the best-known fatty acid supplements, often taken as a supplement to the daily diet. Since the action of CLA is not an authorized claim in the EU database, we only describe here what it is and how it is composed. Good to know: the amount of CLA you get from a regular diet is relatively low, especially if you eat little meat or dairy products. A supplement provides a fixed, much higher amount per day, so you know exactly what you are consuming. For many users, this is the reason to choose a softgel rather than getting it from food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1000 mg per softgel, 3000 mg per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach softgel contains 1000 mg of conjugated linoleic acid. Three softgels per day together reach 3000 mg of CLA, the amount often found in this type of product. The softgels are gluten-free and lactose-free and contain no magnesium stearate, colorings, or flavorings. The softgels have a common size that most people swallow without difficulty. You take them throughout the day with water, for example, with meals. Many users take one at breakfast, one at lunch, and one at dinner, to spread the intake throughout the day. There is no fixed time; choose what suits your routine. A jar of 240 softgels lasts, at three per day, well over two months, so you have a good period with a single jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a softgel and not pure oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA softgel is a soft capsule in which oil is enclosed. This is convenient for a fatty acid that you would otherwise have to take in liquid form. Many people find a neutral softgel easier than a spoon of oil: you don't have to measure or mix anything into your food, and you don't taste the oil. The oil is also protected in the shell, which keeps you clean and ensures a consistent amount with each dose. This way, you absorb a fixed amount every time. In short, the softgel form makes daily intake simpler than bulk safflower oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoftgel in bovine gelatin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant to know: the softgel shell is made from bovine gelatin. This product is therefore neither vegan nor vegetarian, even though the CLA fatty acid itself is of plant origin. In addition to gelatin, the shell contains glycerol as a plasticizer, which keeps the softgel flexible. Gelatin is the most commonly used material for softgels, as it encloses the oil well and protects it from air. Each batch is produced in Europe according to HACCP and GMP standards and tested, in particular, for heavy metals and microbiological purity. These standards describe how a production site must manage hygiene and control so that each jar has the same quality. In short, this is a highly dosed CLA with 1000 mg per softgel and 3000 mg per daily serving, in a jar of 240 units. Take into account the bovine gelatin in your choice, as it makes this product unsuitable if you want to avoid animal-derived ingredients. For those who have no objection, these softgels offer a clean and laboratory-tested form of CLA with a clear content per unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386121822436,"sku":"gen-034","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/CLAGEN.jpg?v=1783855578"},{"product_id":"gen-l-citrulline-dl-malate-2-1-poudre-500g","title":"L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 Powder | 500 g | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eL-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for bulk \u003cstrong\u003eL-Citrulline\u003c\/strong\u003e powder for self-dosing? German Elite Nutrition's L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 is a pure citrulline powder in a fixed ratio. Per 5-gram serving, you get 5000 mg of L-Citrulline DL-Malate, of which approximately 3350 mg is pure L-Citrulline. A 500-gram container is sufficient for about one hundred servings. This powder is popular among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts who create their own pre-workout and prefer to work with a raw powder rather than a ready-made blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat L-Citrulline DL-Malate Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eL-Citrulline is an amino acid that your body can also produce itself and is naturally found in watermelon. As a supplement, citrulline is often bound to malate, a salt of malic acid. This combination is called citrulline-malate and is highly soluble. In the body, citrulline is a precursor to the amino acid arginine: in the kidneys, citrulline can be converted into arginine, which in turn is used in the production of nitric oxide. This is neutral biochemical data describing what the substance is, and in itself says nothing about an effect of this supplement. For L-citrulline and malate, there are currently no approved European health claims. This is why we describe these substances only as a component and leave open the question of what people expect from them. In sports nutrition, citrulline is one of the most well-known pre-workout ingredients, often combined with arginine, beta-alanine, or taurine. It is one of the names almost consistently found on the label of a pump formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 2:1 Ratio Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2:1 indication refers to the ratio of citrulline to malate: two parts citrulline to one part malate, or approximately 67 percent citrulline and 33 percent malate. This is a common ratio in sports nutrition and the reason why, per 5-gram serving, you get approximately 3350 mg of pure citrulline. Malate, derived from malic acid, naturally plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and also gives citrulline-malate its fresh, slightly acidic taste. Since the ratio is fixed, you know exactly what you are consuming with each dose. Those who mix their own pre-workout will find this powder a stable base with a consistent composition. You determine the quantity used and what you mix it with, which is not possible with a closed capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnflavored, Pure, and Soluble\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe container holds only L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1. No colorants, no sweeteners, no fillers, and no preservatives. The powder is unflavored, although the malate gives it a slight fresh note, and it dissolves easily in water, a shake, or a pre-workout drink. This purity is precisely why many athletes choose a raw powder: you know exactly what you are consuming and you don't pay for additives you don't want. The citrulline powder is made via a plant-based production process and is therefore vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free. With the included scoop, you precisely measure each 5-gram serving, without having to guess with an ordinary spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Athletes Use This Citrulline Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost users take a 5-gram serving per day, dissolved in approximately 300 ml of water or another beverage of their choice, such as juice or a shake. Many strength athletes schedule this serving around their workout, for example as part of their pre-workout, although there is no fixed schedule. As it is a bulk powder, L-citrulline can be easily combined with other isolated amino acids, such as arginine, beta-alanine, or taurine. This allows you to create your own blend, adapted to your training routine and personal taste. Take the powder as a supplement to a varied diet and respect the indicated serving of 5 grams per day. A 500-gram container lasts, at one serving per day, well over three months, making it a practical choice for those who want to use citrulline long-term without constantly reordering. Since you work with the scoop, you can also easily adjust your serving to your own routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is pure L-Citrulline DL-Malate in a 2:1 ratio, in an unflavored powder form, with 5000 mg per serving.

German Elite Nutrition's Whey Protein Complex is a high-protein powder with approximately 74 grams of protein per 100 grams and nearly 22 grams of protein per shake. It is designed for athletes who want to quickly supplement their protein intake after training, or who easily maintain their protein intake throughout the day. Proteins contribute to an increase in and maintenance of muscle mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombined whey concentrate and isolate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whey protein is a blend of two protein sources: whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI), both derived from milk. Concentrate is the more classic form and, in addition to proteins, provides a small portion of milk's natural components. Isolate is further filtered, resulting in a higher protein content and lower fat and lactose content. By combining the two, you get a high-protein powder while enjoying a pleasant, creamy texture. Whey is digested relatively quickly by the body and provides the building blocks of proteins: amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and essential amino acids (EAAs). In short, it is a complete protein source in powder form, convenient as a supplement to your regular diet. The difference from an isolate alone or a concentrate alone lies in this combination: you benefit from the high protein content of the isolate, while the concentrate brings the full flavor and creamy thickness that many appreciate in a shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get per shake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne serving is 30 grams of powder. This provides nearly 22 grams of protein, for approximately 120 kilocalories per shake. The fat and sugar content remains low: per serving, about 2 grams of fat and just over one gram of sugar. This ratio makes whey protein popular among athletes who monitor their total calorie intake while still wanting to consume enough protein. Proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, and proteins are necessary for normal growth and bone development in children. In practice, this means that a shake is a compact way to add a good amount of protein without a lot of extra fat or sugar. A one-kilogram tub is enough for approximately 33 shakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use whey around your training\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic choice is a shake right after training, when many athletes want to supplement their protein intake. But there's no fixed time: you can just as easily have a shake between meals as a high-protein snack, or in the morning if you find that your daily protein intake would otherwise be a bit low. Mix 30 grams of powder (about one scoop) with 300 milliliters of water or skim milk. With water, the shake remains light and low in calories; with milk, it becomes creamier and you get a little extra protein. Proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass and the maintenance of muscle mass, making whey a logical supplement in a training routine focused on strength and recovery. Since the powder dissolves well, you don't need to shake for long and there are practically no lumps. Many athletes follow a fixed daily rhythm with one or two shakes, adapted to their training days and total protein needs. On rest days, you can simply continue with a shake, as your protein needs don't stop just because you're not training for a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavors and solubility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhey Protein Complex comes in a wide range of flavors, from chocolate-caramel and cookies and cream to vanilla ice cream, salted caramel peanut butter, and a neutral unflavored variant. You'll almost always find a flavor that suits you, whether you like classic chocolate or prefer to vary. Flavored variants contain flavorings and sweeteners; the neutral variant specifically omits them, which is practical if you incorporate the powder into oatmeal or yogurt, for example. The powder is instantly soluble, so a shaker and a little liquid are enough. Use whey protein as a supplement to a varied diet and not as a replacement for complete meals. The product contains milk. If you are hypersensitive to milk proteins or lactose, read the label first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is a high-protein whey protein with whey concentrate and isolate, approximately 22 grams of protein per shake, low fat and sugar, and a wide choice of flavors.
