Frequently asked questions

What's in the performance blend?
Beyond 200 mg of natural caffeine, each scoop provides 2 g beta-alanine (endurance), 2 g creatine (strength/power), 2.5 g betaine, plus arginine and L-carnitine — a balanced blend to support energy, muscle output and recovery from intense exercise.*

Why do I feel a tingle?
That's from beta-alanine, which can cause a harmless, temporary tingling sensation on the skin for some people. It typically lessens with continued use and is nothing to worry about.*

How and when do I take it?
Mix 1½ tablespoons into 14–16 oz of water 20–30 minutes before your workout. Don't combine it with other caffeine sources, and take it well before bedtime.*

Talk to your doctor before use if you take medication — especially blood-pressure or heart medications — or have a condition such as high blood pressure, glaucoma or a heart condition. Take it earlier in the day to avoid sleep disruption, discontinue use if nervousness, sleeplessness or nausea occurs, and keep out of reach of children. It also contains beta-alanine, which may cause a harmless, temporary skin-tingling sensation that usually subsides with continued use; those with cardiovascular disease, blood-clotting disorders, herpes, kidney impairment or glaucoma should check with a doctor first.

Caution: For adults only. Do not use if sensitive to caffeine. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Beta-alanine may cause a harmless, temporary tingling sensation on the skin for some individuals. After a few weeks of supplementation with beta-alanine, this sensation normally lessens or subsides.
