MARCHON™ Workout Fuel is a unique formulation of pre and intra workout powder designed to optimise performance of your mind and body as you train. Amongst a wide spectrum of ingredients, it delivers 20g of dual source carbohydrates to provide energy to your muscles, 200mg of caffeine with added L-Theanine for focus, and 9.5g of an Amino Acid and Nootropic blend to help maintain optimal body and mental function.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate derived from starch. It is a fast digesting carbohydrate source, providing quick and easily digestible fuel for your workouts.
Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (Cluster Dextrin®)
Similar to maltodextrin, cluster dextrin is a premium and fast digesting energy source. It is clinically proven to reduce gastric emptying time and reduce bloating, meaning it stays in your stomach for less time than other carbohydrate powders, thus making it more favourably digested whilst you train.
L-Citrulline Malate
L-Citrulline is an amino acid found in the body, in food and in supplements. It is considered a non-essential amino acid as the body produces it naturally, however ingesting surplus L-Citrulline through supplementation may aid performance. The primary method of performance optimisation from L-Citrulline Malate is vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels to improve blood flow (Chopra, Baby, & Jacob, 2011).
We included L-Citrulline Malate in our Workout Fuel to improve blood flow as you train. It also aids muscle recovery. As an intermediate in the urea cycle, L-citrulline promotes nitrogen waste removal from the body, which can reduce muscle fatigue and soreness. Also, research also shows L-citrulline's anti-inflammatory abilities. This may help mitigate exercise-related inflammation and subsequent muscle soreness.
BetaPower® Betaine
Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine (TMG), is a substance that's made naturally in the body. It has a variety of functions, being involved in liver function, cellular reproduction, and helping the production of carnitine. It also has a role in helping the body to metabolise homocysteine. Studies have found that betaine supplementation may help improve body composition over a six week period.
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that is a precursor to neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. We have included it in our Workout Fuel due to its potential to support mental focus and cognitive function during exercise.
Alpha GPC
Alpha-GPC is a ‘nootropic’ choline compound that may enhance cognitive function. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in muscle contraction and cognitive processes. Supplementation of Alpha GPC has been found to potentially increase muscular power and strength as well as help maintain cognitive function and acuity.
L-Theanine
Studies have shown that when stacked with caffeine, L-Theanine improves focus in individuals (Giesbrecht, Rycroft, Rowson, De Bruin, 2010). We therefore included it in our Workout Fuel to work alongside the caffeine to maximise your performance.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a natural stimulant that increases alertness. It functions by blocking the effects of adenosine, a neurotransmitter which makes you feel tired (Dunwidie & Masino, 2001).
We included caffeine in our Workout Fuel due to its proven benefits in increasing wakefulness, thus providing you with an extra boost pre and throughout your workout.
