“Even in this high-tech age, the low-tech plant continues to be the key to nutrition and health.” 

Professor Jack Weatherford

Thinking of so-called Pre-workout drinks one is literally bombarded by different “Over the top formulas” wherever one turns in the fitness industry. One after the other tries to come up with the most fancy additives, boasting their newly discovered nutritive value- but the truth of the matter is unfortunately that most of these formulas does nothing good for your health nor performance. The placebo-effect though shall not be underestimated. In fact the opposite might well be true; in that most of them contains extremely unhealthy levels of caffeine- and caffeine, as we should all know, increases the level of cortisol(the stress-hormone) in our bodies. This in turn messes with your sleeping rhythm and muscle development/recovery.

“High cortisol will lead to reduced protein synthesis, which in turn will inhibit muscle repair. It will also suppress the production of growth hormone and other hormones that contribute to muscle development.”

In addition to causing insomnia, there can be a collection of other side-effects from using commercial pre-workout formulas; this includes, but is not limited to:

• High blood-pressure; also due to the abnormally high content of caffeine
• Anxiety and jitters; again too much caffeine is the scapegoat
• Dehydration; caffeine again, but also creatine has this effect on the body; by drawing water into the muscles, it is thereby drawn away from the brain and organs where it’s needed the most. It can also cause diarrhea which will consequently lead to dehydration
• Skin irritation; itchiness, rashes and flushing are side-effects frequently reported with commercial pre-workout formulas; this is likely due to artificially high niacin, which can cause flushing, and beta-alanine, which has been found to cause paresthesia, or simply put, an itchiness or burning sensation of the skin.
• Nausea; this is also connected to it’s artificially high content of caffeine

Tribulus Terrestris Extract 30:1

Very well known and researched for it’s muscle building and performance enhancing properties, Tribulus Terrestris, also known as ‘Gokshura’ in Ayurveda, is an excellent addition to an all natural pre-workout formula.

The muscle building effects of Tribulus boils mostly down to saponins. The main saponin in Tribulus, protodioscin, promotes the release of nitric oxide on a healthy level. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels. This allows more oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to reach the muscles. Your muscles depend on all these things to grow.

Speaking of nitric oxide, you also need it for strong erections. Poor blood flow is a major cause of erectile problems. The same way it prevents muscles from growing properly. Increased nitric oxide levels help you achieve stronger erections and get more blood into the muscles for proper developement and growth. In short the potential benefits of Tribulus can be summed up like this:

• Promotes endurance, muscle repair, muscle strength, and recovery
• Improves athletic performance
• Increases blood flow to the muscles
• Promotes increased retention of oxygen
• Stimulates protein synthesis
• Supports fat loss
• Boosts lean muscle mass

Consuming Tribulus Terrestris is not just about your performance at the gym; it will enhance your quality of life in any matter. There is a very good reason why it is one of the most treasured herbs in Ayurveda(The Science of Life).

• It may improve immunity, due to it’s very high content of antioxidants
• It may improve blood flow to the muscles, due to it’s ability to increase an enzyme called Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). This in turn is responsible for converting circulating Arginine into Nitric Oxide, which again relaxes the blood vessels allowing for more nutrients to be transported into your muscles and around your body
• It may support and heal the liver, which is of ultimate importance for optimal performance. The liver being the “nutrient-bank” of the body
