How the Ingredients in Leonidas Blend Can Help
You know the cliche that you are what you eat? It’s fundamentally true. Nutrition is the foundational element of energy and vitality, so if you aren’t eating the right things, you’ll never have as much strength as you did before. The Leonidas Blend is a science-based supplement that helps provide the nutrition you need to feel great again. Here’s why our pre-workout works, as well as some information on how to get the most from it.
MLet's face it, life can be exhausting. When we created the Leonidas Blend Pre-Workout, we took this into account. With Just One Scoop, Get the Energy You Need!
How Do I Regain or Increase my Energy?
If you’re reading this article, you’re probably looking for an effective way to regain your energy and vitality and not have to worry about being tired all the time. Perhaps, the biggest problem many people have with most pre-workouts is the crash. The good news is that we formulated the Leonidas Blend with this in mind. If you’re looking to hit your fitness goals, here are scientifically based ingredients that will give you the boost you need without the crash.
What Supplements Should I Take to Lose Weight and Build Lean Muscle?
When researching what supplements burn fat and build muscle, there are two things to remember. First, no supplement builds muscle on their own. You still need to follow a muscle-building exercise plan, such as this one from Men’s Health. Second, the best pre-workout supplements have ingredients from many sources. There are plenty of ingredients that are healthy and helpful on their own, but proper nutrition comes from many sources to support specific dietary needs. To put it another way, the quantity and the quality of the ingredients matter when you’re bulking up. Take a look at the scientifically proven ingredients that make up a supplement that is designed for you to regain the energy and vitality of your youth!
How Does the Leonidas Blend Help?
Guarana
Guarana, sometimes known as Brazilian Cocoa, is a South American plant with a comfortably high caffeine content. This helps it stimulate the central nervous system, the heart, and the muscles for better performance while exercising. Guarana also contains theophylline and theobromine, lesser-known ingredients that work similarly to caffeine and provide a small but noticeable boost to this plant’s performance.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub that grows in Africa, the Middle East, and some parts of southern Asia. It is most notable for the effects a specific root extract has on reducing stress, and research also suggests that it can help improve oxygen intake during exercise. This ancient medicinal herb is said to have many uses including relieving stress, increasing energy levels and improving focus and concentration. It's been used for over 3,000 years!
Phosphatidylserine Phosphatidylserine Sometimes known simply as BC-PS (because really, who wants to spell this one all the time?), phosphatidylserine is a naturally-produced substance with some evidence indicating that it can improve mood and reduce feelings of tiredness after exercising. These effects are relatively mild but do serve as part of a holistic supplement. Taurine Taurine is a major amino acid with impacts throughout the body. It’s so important that it’s usually added to infant formulas as part of essential nutrition, and it helps support the actions of the heart and brain. Taurine also generally supports nerve growth, which is important while building muscles. Furthermore, taurine can help reduce blood pressure, which can reduce strain on the body while you’re exercising. Creatine Creatine is one of the most popular and studied muscle-building supplements.
Caffeine Anhydrous
Caffeine anhydrous is a product of laboratory processes that remove water and other chemical components to form a dry, powdery substance. This is essentially regular caffeine, just concentrated, which makes it easy to add just the right amount to supplements and provide more predictable results.
L-Citrulline
L-citrulline is an amino acid that helps boost the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide generally helps your arteries relax, which improves overall blood flow while you’re exercising. It doesn’t matter how good your nutrition is if it doesn’t reach your cells, so anything that improves blood flow is essential for maximizing performance and regaining your energy.
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is another essential nutrient. It has several functions, but the most useful one is helping turn fat into energy for the body. That’s a vital part of losing weight and continuing to maintain your energy levels throughout your life, so this is one of the most important components of the Leonidas Blend.
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is a specific form of the regular amino acid tyrosine, which you shouldn’t confuse it with. It’s especially important for producing epinephrine and dopamine (the “happy” chemical), so people who are low on this may not feel the positive neurological effects of exercise as well.
To put it another way, the brain likes things that make it happy, so ensuring it can produce the right chemicals in response to certain stimuli is an important part of maintaining the commitment to regaining your energy.
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
N-acetyl-l-tyrosine is similar to the previous entry on its list, but it’s more water-soluble and generally mixes better with other ingredients. Having both versions in one supplement helps cover all the bases and ensure steadier longer-term effects.
Beta-Alanine
Beta-alanine is another amino acid, but its primary use is conversion to other chemicals that help affect muscle. When you’re trying to bulk up, making sure you have enough of the chemicals that help build muscles in the first place is vital.
Monkfruit and Stevia
Stevia, Monkfruit and Erithynol. These aren’t actually for performance – they’re for flavor! Plenty of ingredients are healthy, but not appetizing on their own, and making sure you enjoy a supplement is an important part of encouraging the regular use that’s necessary to get the full benefit from it.
Final Thoughts
Spartan warriors followed a famously strict training regimen that made them the envy of the ancient Greek world, and the city-state’s image as a pillar of strength endures to this day. The Leonidas Blend is inspired in part by the unrelenting commitment to quality that ancient Sparta focused on, and that’s visible in the selection of ingredients this blend uses.
The modern blend is a mix of vitamins and amino acids for overall performance, as well as some caffeine for an immediate jolt of energy and help focusing on your workouts.
Regaining the energy and vitality of your youth is challenging but not necessarily impossible. With commitment, proper nutrition, healthy exercise regimen, and proper supplementation, you can build your muscles, accelerate your metabolism, and generally lead a healthier and more active life.
