Another study has shown Beta Alanine to be effective at 6.4g daily but this was split into several smaller dosages so it’s real world application maybe isn’t great as the associated paraesthesia (the tingles!) and digestive discomfort at a single bolus dose would be too much for most and the headache of taking multiple doses daily just isn’t convenient for a modern, hectic lifestyle.

Most people can easily tolerate 3.2g, the dosage genuinely considered to be ‘clinical’ that’s found in a number of pre workouts, including DEFIB.

BASIC ensures that you are hitting that 3.2g every day, with 6.4g being consumed on training days dependant on your Pre-Workout of choice (NB: choose Defib)

Creatine is King when it comes to time proven effective supplementation. Its effectiveness can’t be questioned and has stood the test of time. It’s been proven to increase performance, power output and recovery as well as promote a multitude of associated health benefits. Supplementing with 5g daily is enough for most which is why we’ve included this in BASIC – if you are a giant maybe up the dose but for most 5g is fine.

Betaine Anyhdrous supplementation at 2.5g daily over prolonged periods has benefits which are not dissimilar to creatine. These include increase performance, power output and may also lead to improved body composition (less fat more muscle) over time.

Peak O2 is an adaptogenic mushroom blend of 5 strains headed up by Cordyceps Militaris which enables your body to positively adapt to the stresses of training and intense exercise, whilst increasing power and endurance by improving oxygen uptake. Benefits are similar to Beta Alanine but the mechanism of action is different. Some people choose one or the other but ideally, why not use both? There is 2g in BASIC, widely considered to be the clinical dose. If you also have Defib and Level Up in you arsenal you would be hitting 4g on training days! 28g is all that’s needed to reap all the associated benefits Peak O2 has to offer. The more you take daily, the quicker you’ll get there but with BASIC you’ll be loaded up in just 2 weeks.
