Morphogen Nutrition Alphagen

Morphogen Nutrition Alphagen high stimulant and fully loaded preworkout formula.

L-Tyrosine

• A nonessential amino acid that is used to make the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (adrenaline).

• While L-Tyrosine is less water soluble than other forms of Tyrosine (N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, for example), it is more bioavailable in the body and thus raises plasma Tyrosine levels up to 10x more than other forms of tyrosine.

• Tyrosine is commonly dosed between 500-2,000mg up to 60 minutes prior to activity. Doses in the 7-13g range of L-Tyrosine act as an anti-stress compound for acute stressors such as strenuous exercise.

• ALPHAGEN contains an industry leading 10,000mg L-Tyrosine per serving.

Citrulline Malate 

• L-Citrulline is an amino acid that is more effective at increasing L-Arginine levels in the body than L-Arginine supplementation. Malate (or Malic Acid) is a Kreb's cycle intermediate involved in energy metabolism. Typically they are combined in a 2:1 ratio as L-Citrulline DL-Malate.

• Increases nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, resulting in greater blood flow and “pump”. Used to alleviate erectile dysfunction caused by high blood pressure.

• Improves metabolite recycling processes, reduces fatigue and improves endurance for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise.

• Common dosing is 6,000-8,000mg of L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1.

• ALPHAGEN contains 8,000mg L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 per serving.

Mucuna Pruriens

• Derived from the velvet bean plant and is a rich source the precursor to dopamine and eventually adrenaline.

• Dopamine plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior, and will make the user feel energetic, happy, and increase their ability to undertake stressful tasks. 

• Dopamine is also involved in motor control.

• ALPHAGEN contains 750mg Mucuna Pruriens per serving.  

AlphaGPC

• Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline (AlphaGPC) is recognized as the "premier" choline donor, especially compared to other forms of choline that offer reduced bioavailability.

• Promotes formation of acetylcholine (AC), a vital neurotransmitter compound involved in all key brain functions and mental sharpness.

• Improvement in key brain functions, including memory, concentration, learning, recall, and focus.

• Optimizes muscular power output, sharpens agility, and also delays mental fatigue due motor unit activation of muscle fibers and subsequent muscle contraction, as well as its mental sharpness benefits.

• ALPHAGEN contains 600mg AlphaGPC (50% yielding 300mg active Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline) per serving.

Advantra Z®

• Advantra Z® is a Bitter Orange extract that contains synephrine, a beta-agonist similar to ephedrine, albeit less potent, along with naturally occurring compounds such as hordenine, octopamine, and other metabolites. 

• Increases metabolic rate and fat-burning and shows synergism with caffeine.

• Synephrine is not banned by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency), has failed to cause false positive drug testing for amphetamines, and has been shown to be safe and free of most adverse side effects.

• 50mg synephrine when taken by healthy subjects at rest has been shown to increase caloric expenditure by 65kcal with no significant influence blood pressure or heart rate.

• Utilizing a low 10% extract means that a host of other beneficial Bitter Orange compounds are present that provide synergy and increased effectiveness.

• ALPHAGEN contains a 500mg Advantra Z® (containing 10% synephrine, or 50mg) per serving. 

• Advantra Z® is a registered trademark of Novel Ingredients licensor of the U.S., Canadian, and E.U. Patents.

Caffeine

• Caffeine is often used to improve physical strength and endurance as well as provide mental stimulation.

• Widely studied for safety and efficacy and most people tolerate it well on a spectrum of dosing. Caution should always be used and dosing should be slowly increased over time as needed for desired effects.

• Caffeine’s half-life is 2.5-4.5 hours so novel, time-released forms of caffeine are generally not necessary for most workouts.

• Acute dosing upwards of 4-6mg/kg BW increases strength and power output. For a 180 lb (82 kg) person, this translates to approximately 330-500mg prior to exercise.

• ALPHAGEN contains 400mg Caffeine Anhydrous (pure caffeine) per serving.  

Eria Jarensis

• Eria Jarensis Extract (N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine Citrate) is a rich source of amines (such as Phenylethylamine, or PEA) that acts as a neurotransmitter and has positive effects on many of the “happy hormones” such as dopamine and serotonin.

• PEA is rapidly broken down by the MAO-B enzyme whereas the effects of Eria Jarensis are more prolonged.

• Is lipophilic (able to dissolve in fats) and is able to cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than traditional PEA derivatives.

• Has been used in the food supply and is GRAS Status (is Generally Recognized as Safe) as a food additive.

• Shown to elicit anti-depressant actions during exercise, and mood enhancing and energetic effects before traditional stimulants such as caffeine.

• ALPHAGEN contains 300mg Eria Jarensis extract per serving. 

Theobromine

• The primary “feel good” compound in chocolate, theobromine is a cocoa extract that may provide cardiovascular and cognitive benefits through improved blood flow and antioxidant effects as well as energy production.

• Increases exercise performance, muscle contractile force, blood flow, alertness, mood enhancement, and metabolic rate.

• Theobromine is commonly dosed between 50-200mg prior to activity.

• ALPHAGEN contains 200mg Theobromine per serving.   

L-Theanine

• The relaxing amino acid found in tea, Theanine promotes relaxation without sedation; it helps you stay calm without making you tired or drowsy.

• Reduces stress and improves focus, cognition, and attention.

• Theanine helps take off the ‘edge’ of many stimulants, and a synergistic effect is seen when coupled with caffeine.

• Theanine is commonly dosed between 100-200mg prior to activity, or synergistically in combination with caffeine. 

• ALPHAGEN contains 100mg L-Theanine per scoop.  

Huperzine A

• A nootropic molecule that inhibits the enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Huperzine makes choline sources (such as AlphaGPC) work better for longer.

• Huperzine A is shown to work better than Rx drugs for this purpose and is also neuroprotective.

• Effective dosing is 50-300mcg. 

• ALPHAGEN contains 300mcg huperzine A per 1 scoop.

As a dietary supplement, mix 1 scoop in 12-16oz water (depending on flavor preference) and consume 15-30 minutes pre-workout. Start with ½ scoop to assess tolerance. Gradually build up to 1 scoop.
