UGLYFACE® STIM

Nitrosigine® is a unique ingredient by Nutrition21 backed by over 30 studies including 8 human clinical studies - a patented complex of Bonded Arginine Silicate. By delivering a bioavailable form of arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, just 1.5 grams of Nitrosigine® boosts blood flow to the same extent as 8 grams of L-Citrulline.

BioPerine® is a standardised black pepper extract containing a minimum of 95% Piperine. BioPerine® increases bioavailability of various nutrients & compounds via inhibition of P-glycoprotein, inhibition of various enzymes, and thermogenesis. A small dose of just 5mg ensures you're getting the most out of every scoop of UGLYFACE® STIM.

HydroPrime® is a breakthrough form of glycerol developed by NNB Nutrition - boasting the highest concentration on the market while effectively overcoming the clumping and stability issues that usually come with glycerol in powder-form.

Via hyperhydration, HydroPrime® supports athletic performance, endurance, time-to-fatigue, and enhances cellular volumization - providing juicy pumps through a non-nitric oxide pathway.

Infinergy™ from Creative Compounds combines caffeine and malic acid in a slow-release ionically bonded form - whilst the ingredient supports increased energy levels, maximised focus, and accelerated thermogenesis, it earned it's spot in UGLYFACE® STIM by providing a smoother caffeine delivery curve to lengthen the energy peak and reduce the crash.

L-Citrulline is a massively effective nitric oxide precursor. Nitric oxide signals blood vessels to dilate and ensure efficient blood flow. Not only does this deliver filthy pumps and vascularity, it helps to enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscle - which has been shown to improve physical performance, muscular endurance etc.

At 5,000mg of pure L-Citrulline, UGLYFACE® STIM is dosed to the perfect level, especially when combined with 1.5g of Nitrosigine® (the equivalent of another 8,000mg L-Citrulline).

NOTE: You may be used to seeing "L-Citrulline Malate" in other pre-workouts. This is actually a blend of Citrulline and Malic Acid, typically in a 1:1 ratio - meaning only half of it is actually citrulline. STIM uses pure citrulline, so the entire 5,000mg is going direct to increasing nitric oxide production!

Betaine Anhydrous, also known as Trimethylglycine, is both a methyl donor and an osmolyte, but it's role as an osmolyte is the main reason we included it in UGLYFACE® STIM.

Betaine helps balance fluid levels inside and outside of cells, so alongside our HydroPrime® inclusion, we're maximising intra-cellular hyperhydration. Delivering juicy muscle pumps & fullness as well as enhancing physical performance.

Agmatine is another ingredient that contributes to muscle pumps, vascularity, and oxygen/nutrient delivery via the nitric oxide pathway. However, rather than directly converting into nitric oxide, like L-Citrulline or Nitrosigine®, data suggests that agmatine may work as an arginase inhibitor.

Arginase is an enzyme who's role is to reduce the production of nitric oxide, so by inhibiting this enzyme, we can increase the effectiveness of our NO precursor ingredients like L-Citrulline & Nitrosigine®.

With 280mg of caffeine anhydrous supported by 50mg of caffeine from Infinergy™ (di-caffeine malate) - STIM delivers a potent but smooth hit of energy, ensuring a high, extended peak and gradual drop-off to minimise any nasty crash.

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid known to be highly effective at enhancing cognition. L-Tyrosine is a neurotransmitter precursor, contributing to the production of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.

Expect a boost to mental sharpness, your level of focus, energy, and even improvements to your mood.

Uridine Monophosphate is one of our nootropics that truly sets STIM apart from other pre-workouts on the market. It's starting to become more popular now but we're one of the first to really advocate for it's use.

It's a nucleotide that's involved in both the synthesis of cellular membranes and the production of neurotransmitters - in particular, Uridine Monophosphate works synergistically with stimulants (like caffeine) and cholinergic compounds (like alpha-gpc, huperzine a etc).

You can expect to feel more productive, significantly more focused, and often a reduction in brain fog and procrastination is reported by users.

Huperzine A is a highly potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain.

By inhibiting this enzyme, acetylcholine levels in the brain are raised - which leads to numerous cognitive benefits thanks to the increased cholinergic neurotransmission.

Most notably for the case of a pre-workout, general cognitive function is improved, however it has also been shown to have a positive impact on learning and memory.

Interestingly, acetylcholine is also needed for optimal muscular contraction - so you may experience some benefits with physical performance as well as the primary mental benefits.

There is also evidence showing Huperzine A may have an impact on other neurotransmitter levels like dopamine.
