PRE Workout Formula Overview:

The PRE-Workout formula addresses the energy your body needs both before and during your workout or physical activity. During this phase, the primary goal of the body is to deliver the proper energy to the muscle in order to create muscular contractions.

The PRE-Workout formula addresses one of the most important nutrients to take during this crucial phase, carbohydrates. Carbohydrates balance blood glucose levels and replenish glycogen stores, which leads to an increase in endurance as well as prevention of muscular fatigue. However, the PRE addresses much more since carbohydrates alone are simply not enough.  Numerous studies have proven that protein, amino acids, and vitamins combined with carbohydrates before and during a workout not only increases muscular endurance but also reduces muscular damage while at the same time prepping the muscles for faster recovery.

The PRE-Workout formula is designed to be mixed with either water or juice and half taken 10-20 minutes before the workout, then continue sipping the second half for the first 20 minutes into your workout. 

The PRE-Workout formula provides safe and natural supplementation to hydrate, enhance energy levels and prevent burning coveted muscle during workouts, games and intense competitions. The PRE-Workout formula keeps the athlete hydrated to maintain lower body temperatures thus postponing fatigue and resulting in maximum workout periods with greater intensity. The PRE-Workout formula is loaded with a 5 gram mega-dose of BCAAs (Branched-chain amino acids). Research has also shown that taking essential amino acids before a workout dramatically increases muscle protein synthesis and anabolism; increasing energy levels and the intensity of your workouts.   

PRE Key Ingredients:

Essential Amino Acids - (5 Grams) This mega amount of Amino acids at the pre-workout stage creates an anabolic/anti-catabolic environment during the workout and sets the stage for a faster and better recovery by the halting of cellular breakdown as well as slowing the breakdown of protein which makes it easier to put on new muscle. SSP offers a sizable dose of Leucine, the most important amino acid when it comes to building lean muscle. It helps with the regulation of blood-sugar levels, the growth and repair of muscle tissue, growth hormone production, wound healing as well as energy regulation. Leucine is the most anabolic of all BCAA’s proven to prevent muscle protein breakdown and stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

Creatine HCl – Creatine has been studied for over 30 years and has been proven by far to be the most effective supplement to increase endurance and strength while being safe.  SSP uses Creatine HCl which minimizes any water retention so the athlete does not have any bloating effect. 

Vitamins C, E and ALA - (Alpha Lipoic Acid – Helps make Vitamin C & E work better.  It is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals). These antioxidants minimize any free radicals (Unstable molecules that steal electrons from other molecules) created during vigorous workouts while also elevating Nitric Oxide (NO2) (NO2 opens blood vessels and helps increase blood flow) levels, further enhancing the athlete’s pump. The ALA replenishes the Vitamins C and E as they get depleted thus the cycle repeats during long, strenuous workouts.

Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium – Electrolytes maintain hydration levels, reduce muscle cramping and enhance the athlete’s ability to withstand long grueling workouts at both the endurance aerobic level and the short burst anaerobic level.

Dextrose - This taste-enhancing simple sugar gives the athlete immediate energy to kick start the workout. A strategic five (5) gram limit prevents the athlete from experiencing a sugar induced “crash” during or after their workouts.

Citrulline Malate - The effects begin during grueling aerobic workouts, giving the athlete a “Second Wind.” Anaerobic athletes alike will benefit from Citrulline Malate during their intense workouts as it buffers lactic acid and removes ammonia from your system.

Beta-Alanine - A Nitrous Oxide (NO2) enhancer. Beta- Alanine increases Carnosine levels, endurance, synthesizes protein and acts as a buffering agent against lactic acid buildup allowing the athlete to push harder and longer without the muscles burning out. (Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids Beta-Alanine and Histidine. It is highly concentrated in both muscle & brain tissues)

Caffeine - Caffeine is a proven ergogenic (external) agent providing greater focus and energy during the intense workout. Once full serving of the PRE contains the equivalent of about 2.5 cups of coffee. 

Taurine - Achieve greater endurance. SSP uses 3x the amount than a typical energy drink. Taurine lowers the Three-Methyl-Hystidine levels, acts as a Cortisol blocker and an anti-catabolic agent, preventing the burning of muscle. The Glycerol “pump” already underway is further enhanced by Taurine.

Mucuna Pruriens - Also known as “Indian Ginseng,” Mucuna Pruriens is a rare root that our research has discovered to be an excellent anabolic agent. On a different level it provides long lasting focus and energy.

POST Workout Formula Overview:

The POST-Workout formula is designed for the forty-five minute window after exercise and is perhaps the most crucial time for your body in regards to supplementation. In fact, research has shown that not utilizing nutrition after a workout leaves your body in worse shape than if you had never even exercised. Using proper nutrition repairs damaged muscles and replenishes muscle glycogen stores. Within this window muscle cells are in an anabolic state, but this state diminishes rapidly, and if proper nutrition is not taken muscles will become insulin resistant, thus slowing muscle recovery and growth potential.

In order to increase recovery and repair muscles effectively the body must synthesize protein, which is best triggered by glycogen replenishment. Many athletes make the mistake of taking protein-heavy supplements immediately after a workout, but this is simply ineffective. Without an insulin spike and glycogen replenishment, protein synthesis cannot occur, they are intertwined. In fact, the most important macronutrients to take immediately after a workout are carbohydrates. Numerous studies have shown that in order to receive the greatest recovery an athlete should take a 3:1 carbohydrate/protein ratio sports drink immediately after a workout. The Post-Workout formula is designed to be mixed with either water or a berry based juice and is to be taken immediately following your workout.

SSP Nutrition’s POST-Workout formula nutrients immediately scavenge free radicals, repair muscle cells and enhance growth potential during this critical and short lived “anabolic window”. POST is based on a proprietary blend of natural ingredients that replenish muscle cells with the most scientifically advanced blend of effective nutrients.

The workout shouldn’t stop when the training ends. Experts conclusively agree that post-workout nutrients are the most important part of the day’s nutrition. Those missing this crucial step risk a muscle composition of a worse condition than prior to the workout. SSP’s POST-Workout formula helps you “Seize the Moment!”

POST Key Ingredients:

Leucine - The pre-eminent amino acid which restarts the anabolic process, increases insulin levels to trigger greater protein absorption and shuts down catabolism.

Dextrose-Maltodextrin - Dextrose (fast burning sugar) and Maltodextrin (a slower burning carbohydrate) blend to further spike the insulin levels and immediately open the pathways for optimal protein absorption over a two hour period.

Whey Protein Hydrolysate - Provides instant protein absorption directly into the muscle cells exactly when they need it most.  Each POST contains 6 grams of Whey Protein Hydrolysate which is the equivalent of approximately 30 grams of typical Whey Protein due to its efficiency in absorption.

Whey Protein Isolate - Provides a slower protein absorption into the muscles over the next two hours after the workout.

Creatine HCl– Creatine has been studied for over 30 years and has been proven by far to be the most effective supplement to increase endurance and strength while being safe.  SSP uses Creatine HCl which minimizes any water retention so the athlete does not have any bloating effect. 

Carnitine - A proprietary blend featuring Acetyl L-Carnitine (this super antioxidant helps supply the brain with energy by improving energetics in the cell’s energy generator) acting as both a fat burner and a triggering agent to keep the testosterone receptors sensitized and further enhancing the anabolic state.

Magnesium Glycl-Glutamine - Chelated (A form that is better absorbed by the body) form strategically delivers the Glutamine past the stomach and into the intestines for actual absorption. Studies conclusively show that any other form of Glutamine will not survive the harsh stomach environment and are simply a waste of energy and money.

Chromium Chelavite - Chelated form of Chromium acts as another transport agent, sensitizing the insulin receptors which mimics an insulin spike without a large dose of sugar based carbohydrates thus allowing for even greater protein absorption and muscle growth.

LEAN MUSCLE ACTIVATOR Overview:

The LEAN MUSCLE MEAL-Workout formula is designed for the period where one workout ends and another begins, this is known as the growth phase. During this phase the muscles are in the process of utilizing protein to repair muscle fiber while also replenishing any glycogen not already replaced with the POST-Workout formula. Carbohydrate and protein consumption is important during this time in order to maintain optimal muscle growth. While many people mistake taking a high level of protein immediately after the workout, the growth phase is the time where high protein consumption is best. Taking in a whey/casein based protein blend along with carbohydrates during this phase keeps the muscles in a prolonged anabolic state, restores muscle glycogen, repairs muscle damage, and leads to synthesis of new muscles. The LEAN MUSCLE MEAL -Workout formula is designed to be mixed with water and taken within 1-2 hours after the POST-Workout formula, used as a delicious meal replacement or taken before bed.

Muscles maintain remarkable growth potential long after a workout. The LEAN MUSCLE MEAL -Workout formula is a low-calorie, lean muscle stimulator allowing muscles to continue on the anabolic path up until the next workout, enabling the protein synthesis cycle of lean muscle building to continue.

LEAN MUSCLE ACTIVATOR Key Ingredients:

Whey Protein & Micellar Casein - SSP’s Whey Protein blend gets as close to “mothers milk” as can be created, giving the body the exact nutrients it needs over a medium and long-range timeframe.

Tri-Carb Complex - Tri-Carb complex of Maltodextrin, Oats, Rice and Ribose to enhance protein absorption. Carbs are kept at the minimum necessary to maximize protein absorption while keeping calories low.

Leucine - The miracle amino acid which maximizes protein synthesis and shuts down all catabolic activity. For the most Anabolic Protein that can be manufactured, we needed to add an additional high-grade dose.

Vitamin, Mineral and Electrolyte Blend - The perfect combo to keep the body hydrated and all bodily systems working optimally.

Fiber - High quality fiber assists in digestion and assimilation of nutrient intake.

Medium Chain Triglicerides - (MCT’s), also known as the “Fatless Fat.” SSP uses Coconut Oil containing Lauric Acid which actually burns fat and is used by the body as energy rather than stored as fat. It also satiates the athlete with a feeling of being full, making the formula an excellent meal replacement and weight loss tool for overweight individuals.
