Ingredients
Now that we’ve gone over what the product is and its supplement facts, let’s look closely to the ingredients.
Nettle Extract
This plant extract is used to reduce joint pain. There is a probability that this may work depending on how bad one suffers from arthritis.
Daspartic Acid (DAA)
This amino acid is claimed to regulate testosterone synthesis, which results in the body pumping more testosterone.
This can help men increase strength and aid in fertility. On the down side, excess consumption of DAA can cause side effects such as acne, headaches, diarrhea and mood swings. There currently not enough scientific evidence to support the claims for DAA.
Long Jack Root
Long Jack is an evergreen shrub tea that is commonly found in Southeast Asia, specifically Malaysia.
It is claimed that the tea made from this plan can improve men’s sexual abilities due to the elevated testosterone levels.
There is evidence that this root is possibly effective for male infertility, but there is insufficient evidence for improving athletic performance and muscle strength.
Chrysin
Chrysin is a flavonoid that is claimed to reduce inflammation and help reduce recovery times in a work out and/or athletic game; however there is conflicting evidence on the legitimacy of this claim.
L-Citrulline
Citrulline is a nitric oxide that is claimed to improve blood flow and allow nutrients to reach the muscles faster.
It is also claimed to help relax the arteries. Unfortunately, this is insufficient evidence to support this claim.
Agmamax (Agmatine)
When combined with L-Citrulline, it is claimed that this substance can improve blood flow and allow an optimal distribution of nutrients in the bloodstream; however scientific studies suggest otherwise.
L-Norvaline
L-Norvaline is an amino acid that is claimed to promote tissue regeneration and muscle growth.
It is also claimed to increase protein synthesis. There is still conflicting evidence on whether or not these claims are true or false.
Caffeine
Caffeine is commonly used in coffee, teas energy drinks and soda beverages to help boost energy to keep people alert and moving throughout their day.
Since this product contains 325mg of caffeine, it is not recommended to take this product 5 hours before bedtime.
Di-Caffeine Malate
Di-caffeine malate is commonly used to compensate the energy crash that most people experience from caffeinated beverages and sugary foods.
It is also claimed to boost the metabolism, however there is not enough scientific evidence to support this claim.
Dendrobium Nobile Extract
Dendrobium is an orchid plant that is commonly found in East Asia and has been traditional used for medication purposes.
Innovative Muscle claims that this plant can boost athletic performance; however, there is insufficient evidence to support this claim.
Maca
Maca is a plant that is found in the Andes Mountains in South America, and it has traditionally been used for medicinal purposes like chronic fatigue, infertility, and sexual dysfunction. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to support these claims.
Diindolylmethane “Dim”
Dim is formed in vegetables like cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli. It is claimed that this substance can help fight certain cancer and decrease estrogen in the body, but there is insufficient evidence to support this claim.
