Transparent Labs® Transparent Labs® Dopamine+
Transparent Labs Dopamine+ is a dietary supplement featuring natural ingredients that support dopamine levels. Dopamine, often referred to as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, plays a critical role in our mood, motivation, and focus. This stimulant-free formula contains clinically studied nutrients such as Sabroxy®, Cognizin®, and L-tyrosine to support the body's endogenous dopamine production and promote mental acuity, cognitive function, and focus without the associated mood swings and crashes that often come from using stimulant-based dopamine agonists. Key Features Naturally Supports Dopamine Neurotransmission: The ingredients in Transparent Labs Dopamine + naturally promote your body's dopamine production throughout the day. Dopamine is a vital neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) throughout the brain and body that regulates mood, drive, attention span, and much more. Three-Pronged Mode of Action: The ingredients in this formula work by providing essential dopamine precursors, inhibiting dopamine reuptake, and modulating dopamine receptors. These converging mechanisms of action allow for comprehensive dopamine production and neurotransmission. Non-Stimulant Formula: Transparent Labs Dopamine+ is a stimulant-free formula that can be taken in the morning, afternoon, or early evening without interrupting sleep. 30 Clinically Dosed Servings Per Bottle: Each bottle of Transparent Labs Dopamine+ contains 30 full doses to ensure efficacy and quality at an exceptional value. Active Ingredients and Benefits L-Tyrosine | 1,500 mg L-tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid and precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that govern motivation and reward. Research shows that supplementing with L-tyrosine can significantly enhance cognitive performance, especially under acutely stressful situations (like cramming the night before an exam) [1]. L-Tyrosine has also been shown to improve “cognitive flexibility,” meaning it can help you adapt to changing cognitive demands and block extraneous thoughts [2].Another study found that L-tyrosine improves "deep/critical thinking" rather than brainstorming (divergent thinking) [3]. Sabroxy® (Oroxylum indicum) Extract (bark) (10% Oroxylin A) | 500 mg Sabroxy® is a patented herbal extract of Oroxylum indicium that has been shown to possess neuroprotective and cognition-enhancing properties [4]. This specific extract is standardized to contain a minimum 10% oroxylin A, a flavonoid that can inhibit dopamine reuptake, thereby increasing synaptic dopamine levels between nerve cells (neurons) [5]. This mechanism of action supports focus, attention, and cognitive function. Cognizin® Citicoline (CDP-Choline) | 250 mg Cognizin® is a patented form of cytidine diphosphate (CDP)-choline, also known as citicoline, that plays a dual role in supporting cognitive function. First, it provides bioavailable choline to support acetylcholine synthesis, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning [6]. Second, citicoline supports the production of phosphatidylcholine, a key phospholipid of brain cell membranes, enhancing neuronal communication and dopamine receptor function [7]. Saffron (7.5% Crocins, 1% Safranals) | 30 mg Saffron, the dried stigma of Crocus sativus, has been traditionally used for its mood-enhancing properties. Crocins and safranals, the active constituents of saffron, have been shown to increase dopamine levels and improve mood [8]. These compounds can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, further supporting a focused and positive mental state [9]. Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) | 0.44 mg Vitamin B6 is a vital cofactor in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, including dopamine. It facilitates the conversion of L-DOPA to dopamine by acting as a coenzyme, thereby enhancing mood and cognitive function [10]. Folate (Vitamin B9) | 400 mcg DFE Folate is another essential B vitamin for neurotransmitter production. Specifically, it participates in methylation reactions essential for synthesizing dopamine [11]. Folate's role in maintaining homocysteine levels also supports brain health, further contributing to improved focus and mental clarity [12]. How To Use As a dietary supplement, take 4 capsules on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning or afternoon. Optimal Consumption Times Transparent Labs Dopamine+ is a stimulant-free formula that can be taken in the morning, afternoon, or early evening without interrupting sleep. However, it is generally advisable to avoid taking this product within 3-4 hours of bedtime as heightened dopamine activity can make it harder to fall asleep. FAQs Will This Product Help with Dopamine Deficiency? Dopamine deficiency is known to cause numerous physical and mental health conditions (e.g. Parkinson's disease). While the ingredients in Transparent Labs Dopamine+ can help increase dopamine levels, this product is not intended to treat any medical conditions. Can Dopamine Supplements Interact with Other Medications? Yes. If you currently take dopamine agonist medications or other medications, you should consult with your healthcare provider before taking dopamine supplements, as they may heighten the effects of the medications you're using. Transparent Labs Dopamine+ is not intended as a substitute for any prescription medications. Can I Take Dopamine Supplements with Other Dietary Supplements? Yes, Transparent Labs Dopamine+ can be taken with most dietary supplements without harm. However, the answer to this question depends on the specific ingredients in the other dietary supplements you're using. Do Dopamine Pills Require a Prescription? Transparent Labs Dopamine+ does not contain any substances that are considered drugs and, therefore, does not require a prescription. However, you should consult a healthcare professional before taking any dopamine-related supplements if you're currently taking any prescription medications, especially dopamine agonists. Do Dopamine Supplements Affect Blood Pressure? Dopamine can act on different types of receptors in the body depending on its levels. At lower concentrations, dopamine primarily stimulates dopamine receptors (D1 and D2). Activation of D1 receptors in the kidneys and vasculature leads to vasodilation, which can lower blood pressure. D2 receptor activation inhibits norepinephrine release, also contributing to vasodilation. At higher concentrations, dopamine stimulates beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, increasing cardiac output and vasoconstriction. This can lead to increased blood pressure (which may be useful for individuals with very low blood pressure). As always, if you have any medical condition, it's best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before using any dietary supplements.

Transparent Labs® Transparent Labs® Magnesium Bisglycinate
Supplementing with the mineral Magnesium is more than just wishful thinking, it’s likely the most underrated supplement in the vitamin and mineral industry. Magnesium isn’t a ‘the more the merrier’ type supplement like protein. Instead, it’s a case of proactively staving off deficiency of this mineral. A deficiency which an estimated 80% of Americans are subject to and don’t even know it. Got a bad diet? Taking magnesium daily should be your strategy. Going through an intense boot camp? Taking magnesium for this period should be your tactic. Ingredient Profile Magnesium Bisglycinate | 300mg How to Use As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules with or without a meal once or twice a day, or as directed by your physician. FAQs Q. What Magnesium should you take? Well, if you’re familiar with our one-of-a-kind ZMO supplement (Zinc, Magnesium, and Oyster) then you’ll know that not all magnesium supplements are the same! The most common form of magnesium on health store shelves is magnesium oxide, which is in fact, one of the worst types for an athlete to take. This is because oxidized minerals, especially magnesium, have an extremely difficult time entering the body. This ‘difficulty’ paired with magnesium’s muscle-relaxing effects is why magnesium oxide is also often the main ingredient in laxative supplements. Surely, not what you want to take before leg day. Q. What form should you be taking? Magnesium Bisglycinate. We recommend the highly bioavailable and non-laxative Magnesium Bisglycinate. It isn’t cheap like magnesium oxide, but neither are any of the ingredients that we put into any of our products. Got more questions? Magnesium is a fascinating topic that bears influence across every inch of our bodies. We didn’t even begin to cover the common benefits to magnesium supplementation like improved cognition, reduced stress, and muscle relaxation/function. We encourage you to research more! Q. Does this product contain nuts? We process products in our facility that have nuts (coconuts, peanuts). However, we have an allergen control program in place that sanitizes and cleans our equipment between allergen and non-allergen runs! Q. Is this product vegan? Yes. RawSeries Magnesium Bisglycinate is vegan.

Transparent Labs® Transparent Labs® Mushroom Stack
Medicinal mushrooms are a culinary delicacy in various cultures, but they remain a nutritional oversight in the modern Western diet (likely due to their cost).

Transparent Labs® Transparent Labs® Sleep & Recover -...
If you're having trouble sleeping but want a solution without melatonin, Transparent Labs Sleep & Recover now comes in a melatonin-free formula! The natural ingredients in this non-habit-forming sleep aid, such as L-glycine, VitaCherry®, magnesium, and L-theanine, have been clinically shown to help people fall asleep faster and support restful sleep quality so you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day—no more sleepless nights tossing and turning until the alarm goes off. Key Features Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid Made with Natural Ingredients: Transparent Labs Sleep & Recover promotes deep sleep and healthy sleep cycles with natural, evidence-based ingredients and no melatonin. This gentle formula is ideal for those who don't respond well to traditional/over-the-counter sleeping pills. Eases Stress/Anxiety So You Can Fall Asleep Faster and Stay Asleep: If you have a hard time sleeping throughout the night, our melatonin-free sleep aid includes ingredients that can alleviate occasional sleeplessness by calming the nervous system before bedtime. 30 Servings Per Bottle = 30 Nights of Good Sleep: Our clinically dosed, melatonin-free sleep aid provides natural ingredients that help you get a good night's rest without any next-day drowsiness that often comes with melatonin-containing sleep aids. Third-Party Tested for Purity and Potency: Our commitment to full product transparency and quality assurance means each batch of Transparent Labs Sleep & Recover undergoes third-party testing to ensure label claims are met. Active Ingredients and Benefits L-Glycine | 1,000 mg L-glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid in humans that plays many roles in cellular physiology and has multifarious beneficial effects on cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological health [1]. Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of glycine as a natural sleeping aid, even in modest doses (1,000 mg) before bedtime [2, 3]. Evidence suggests glycine acts on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in suprachiasmatic nuclei within the hypothalamus [4]. These tiny nuclei function as a bona fide “pacemaker” of the body’s innate circadian rhythms. VitaCherry® Tart Cherry Powder | 500 mg VitaCherry® is a patented tart cherry (Montmorency cherry) powder standardized to provide a rich profile of beneficial anthocyanins and antioxidant polyphenols, as well as B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, iron, and omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs). In fact, VitaCherry® is 15x more concentrated in the specific anthocyanins associated with reducing inflammation after vigorous exercise than generic tart cherry powders. Multiple human studies have shown that tart cherry consumption significantly reduces post-exercise muscle soreness and enhances muscle recovery in high-level athletes [5]. L-Theanine | 200 mg L-theanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid first discovered as a constituent of green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves. After ingestion, L-theanine is readily absorbed across the blood-brain barrier, where it exerts several nootropic effects, notably stimulating the release of alpha brainwaves and acting as a GABA receptor agonist [6, 7]. As such, L-theanine helps induce a sense of calmness and ease racing thoughts, which can help people fall asleep and improve sleep quality. Rutaecarpine | 100 mg Rutaecarpine is a major alkaloid isolated from Evodia rutaecarpa. Several studies have shown that it speeds the rate at which caffeine and caffeine derivatives are metabolized, thereby eliminating them from the body more rapidly [8, 9]. Thus, rutaecarpine helps calm the nervous system and “de-caffeinate” the body, which is imperative for restful sleep if you regularly drink coffee, pre-workouts, energy drinks, or other caffeinated beverages later in the day/evening. Magnesium Bisglycinate | 200 mg Magnesium is a macromineral electrolyte and cofactor (read: "helping hand") in over 350 enzymatic reactions in the human body. Its multifaceted roles make it essential for numerous body functions, including energy metabolism, protein synthesis, neuromuscular conduction, mood, cognition, cardiac contractility, and immunity [10]. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of magnesium glycinate supplements (including the bisglycinate form) for promoting restorative sleep and ameliorating sleep conditions such as insomnia [11]. The magnesium bisglycinate in this melatonin-free sleep aid does not cause a laxative effect in large doses and is gentle on the gastrointestinal tract, unlike other common forms of magnesium (e.g. magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate). Zinc Citrate | 15 mg Like magnesium, zinc is an essential mineral typically lacking in modern diets [19]. Our melatonin-free sleep aid contains bioavailable zinc citrate to ensure your body can absorb this key trace mineral. Zinc deficiency is well-known to disrupt immune function, fertility, sex hormone production, mood, and sleep quality [20]. On the contrary, supplementing with a combination of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 has been shown to confer synergistic sleep and recovery benefits, ideal for active individuals who struggle to get restful sleep [21]. Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate) | 10 mg Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin with extensive roles throughout the nervous system. In its bioactive pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) form, it acts as a coenzyme in the conversion of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptamine (i.e. serotonin), which is a precursor of melatonin synthesis [22, 23]. This suggests that a deficiency of PLP may impair sleep quality and contribute to occasional sleeplessness. Indeed, several studies have found that circulating PLP levels are inversely associated with sleep quality and sleeplessness [24, 25]. In other words, people with higher levels of PLP tend to sleep better and experience less daytime drowsiness. How To Use Take four (4) capsules 30-45 minutes before bedtime, preferably on an empty stomach. Optimal Consumption Time It is best to take this product at least 30 minutes before laying down for bed. FAQs How Much Melatonin Should I Take? Taking melatonin is not a necessity to get a restful night's sleep. Our melatonin-free sleep aid contains natural ingredients that help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep, in part by promoting your body's endogenous production of melatonin. Can You Fall Asleep Without Melatonin? Yes! While melatonin is naturally produced by your body and induces sleepiness, an effective sleep aid doesn't require melatonin. Is a Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid Safe? The answer to this question depends on the nature of the ingredients in a melatonin-free sleep aid; our formula contains natural sleep-supporting ingredients that are well-established as safe in scientific literature. Does Transparent Labs Ship to My Country? Yes - our fulfillment center allows us to ship worldwide (with some exceptions due to fraudulent activity in certain countries; see here for more info). Standard shipping for international orders typically takes 10-14 business days to arrive. When Will My Order Be Shipped Out? All orders are shipped the following business day.

Transparent Labs® Transparent Labs® Vitality Testosterone Support
Transparent Labs Vitality is an innovative 3-in-1 natural hormone optimizing supplement that boosts bioactive testosterone levels while controlling estrogen and cortisol production. Set the foundation for lean muscle gains, fat burning, strength, libido, confidence, and overall vitality with clinical doses of proven ingredients, such as LJ100® Eurycoma longifolia extract, KSM-66® organic ashwagandha extract, PrimaVie® shilajit extract, L-OptiZinc®, and BioPerine®. These premium ingredients work synergistically to protect Leydig cells that comprise the testicles, reduce aromatase activity, and augment luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) which govern testosterone production and fertility. In turn, TL Vitality primes the body for optimal well-being and athletic performance by encouraging balanced ratios of testosterone to cortisol and testosterone to estradiol. Ingredient Profile Directions: As a Dietary Supplement, Take 2 Capsules Once Daily.Serving Size: 2 CapsulesServings Per Container: 30 Zinc (as L-OptiZinc® (L-Methionine)) - 15 mg L-OptiZinc® is a special chelated zinc that’s formed with L-methionine. Research shows that zinc-methionine complex is one of the most bioavailable forms of zinc, ensuring your body properly absorbs and utilizes this key mineral.1Zinc has diverse actions in the human body since it is a cofactor for various metalloenzymes. Human studies suggest that zinc is especially crucial for supporting fertility and testosterone production in adult males.2,3 One study found that middle-aged men with preexisting infertility experienced an average 250% increase in sperm cell counts and 54% increase in total testosterone levels after taking a zinc supplement daily for three months.4 Also, males with zinc deficiency are generally at a greater risk of infertility.5 Organic Ashwagandha Extract (as KSM-66®) - 600 mg KSM-66® Ashwagandha Root Extract (standardized to contain ≥5% withanolides): Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is arguably the most versatile adaptogenic herb known to man. A thorough body of clinical research has shown that ashwagandha consumption promotes healthy testosterone levels and mitigates stress-induced cortisol secretion, thereby encouraging better quality of life in men.6 Notably, a formative 3-month study of 75 adult males given 600 mg of ashwagandha root extract daily found that testosterone levels increased an average of 40% above baseline values.7 Their sperm cell count (i.e. fertility) also improved significantly. Shilajit Extract (as PrimaVie®) - 250mg Shilajit is a rare exudate (thick fluid) found naturally in rocks of the Himalayan mountains; it’s formed over the course of centuries by microorganisms that decompose plant material. Shilajit is commonly used in Ayurveda as a means of improving vitality and overall well-being. Several controlled human studies have shown that shilajit can significantly increase total testosterone and free testosterone levels, the latter of which is the “biologically useful” form of testosterone.8 One recent clinical trial even found that healthy adult males given a purified shilajit supplement for 90 days experienced nearly 50% greater increases in free testosterone levels than those who were in the placebo group9. Quercetin Dihydrate - 250 mg Quercetin is a secondary plant metabolite (polyphenol) found in a range of fruits and vegetables. It’s a vital micronutrient that serves antioxidant roles in many important body systems, particularly the cardiovascular system and reproductive system.10 Several murine studies suggest that quercetin protects Leydig cells — the cells that comprise testicular tissue — from toxin-induced damage, thereby preserving testosterone levels and fertility11,12. DIM (Diindolylmethane) - 125 mg 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) is a bioactive metabolite of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. DIM appears to regulate estrogen metabolism by selectively modulating the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor, which plays an important role in gene expression in both men and women.13 In vivo and in vitro data suggest that DIM has favorable effects on muscle growth, recovery, libido, mood, and overall well-being by balancing estradiol levels14,15 LJ100® (Standardized Eurycoma longifolia extract) - 100mg Eurycoma longifolia, commonly referred to as Tongkat ali or Longjack, has been used for centuries in folk medicine as a natural aphrodisiac and appetite-stimulating herb. The roots of this plant contain a range of compounds called quassinoids, the most noteworthy being eurycomanone. Several studies have shown that athletes supplementing Eurycoma longifolia have significant increases in the ratio of testosterone to cortisol, as well as improvements in lean body mass, strength, and arm circumference.16,17,18 Vitality is formulated with premium LJ100® that delivers a standardized amount of bioactive quassinoids. Bioperine® (Black Pepper (Fruit) Extract) - 10 mg Bioperine® is an extract obtained from the black pepper fruit. In its patented form, BioPerine® has been clinically tested (in the United States) to significantly enhance the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption. Boron (as Bororganic Glycine) - 5 mg Boron is an essential trace mineral that plays numerous roles throughout the body. A recent research review suggests that men who supplement with boron daily have significantly higher levels of testosterone and lower levels of estradiol (estrogen) than those who don’t take a boron supplement.19 Even more compelling, supplemental boron has been shown to boost free testosterone and reduce estrogen within just one week.20

Transparent Labs® Transparent Labs® Grass-Fed Protein+ Bars
If you're tired of protein bars loaded with artificial ingredients, sugar alcohols, and harsh fiber sources, Transparent Labs Protein+ Bars are a clean, guilt-free way to get more protein in your diet no matter where life takes you. The Protein+ Bar provides complete nutrition from real-food ingredients, making it a perfect meal or snack whenever you're in a pinch, traveling, or want to indulge in a macro-friendly treat after hitting the gym. Protein+ Bars pack 15-16 grams of protein from grass-fed whey and egg whites, 20-23 grams of whole-food carbohydrates, and 15-17 grams of healthy fats in three mouthwatering flavors to keep your muscles and taste buds satisfied. (*Macros vary slightly between flavor options.) Key Features Complete Nutrition On-The-Go: Protein bars have traditionally not been a great way to get more protein throughout the day due to all the added and often deceptive junk in the formulas. We've taken a different approach with Protein+ Bars by creating a macro-friendly, tasty, real-food-based protein bar that provides a balanced profile of quality protein, essential fats, and wholesome carbohydrates. Features Grass-Fed Whey and Egg White Protein: Protein+ Bars don't cut corners with cheap protein sources like most protein bars. Each Protein+ Bar packs 15 grams of complete protein from grass-fed whey isolate and egg whites, arguably two of the best protein sources for muscle recovery. No Gut-Wrenching Fibers, Artificial Sweeteners, or Sugar Alcohols: Unlike the majority of protein bars on the market, the Protein+ Bar is made with easily digestible, whole-food-based, non-GMO ingredients. This protein bar is also free from sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners, and cheap fiber sources that leave your gut in knots. Three Decadent Flavors to Satisfy Your Taste Buds: Protein+ Bars, made exclusively with natural ingredients, complete protein, and low added sugar content, so you can indulge without compromising your health and fitness goals. Choose from delicious chocolate peanut butter, dark chocolate almond, and oatmeal chocolate chip flavors 12 Bars Per Box: Each box of Protein+ Bars comes with 12 bars to help you reach protein intake goals and stay on track no matter how busy life gets. Ingredients and Benefits Ingredients May Vary Depending on Flavour*** Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate Grass-fed whey protein isolate is a complete protein source that's rapidly absorbed and easily digestible. Being derived from the milk of grass-fed cows, our whey protein isolate is an excellent source of essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are crucial for muscle repair and growth [1]. Egg White Protein Egg white protein is another exceptional complete protein source that promotes muscle repair; in fact, egg whites have the highest attainable protein-digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) [2]. They are also a good source of B vitamins and selenium. Natural Peanut Butter Natural peanut butter contains a generous amount of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, which promote satiety and heart health. It is also rich in vitamins E and B3, as well as minerals like magnesium, supporting overall micronutrient intake without the added sugar or hydrogenated trans-fat found in more processed versions. Natural Almond Butter Almonds are a nutrient-dense nut packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, and dietary fiber, making them a perfect complement to our protein bars. Almonds are also nutritious due to their magnesium and antioxidant content, which are commonly lacking in the diet. Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips Made with unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter, and a small amount of cane sugar, these dairy-free chocolate chips provide the rich sweetness and flavor of traditional chocolate chips without using any milk products and have low sugar content. Dates Dates come packed with fiber, potassium, and essential trace minerals like copper and manganese. They also provide a wholesome, natural sweetness to our Protein+ Bars. Gluten-Free Rolled Oats Gluten-free rolled oats are a heart-healthy carbohydrate source that provides soluble fiber and sustained energy. They also contain an array of antioxidant micronutrients and essential minerals to promote overall wellness. Coconut Oil Coconut oil is a dense source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a class of "healthy" saturated fats that support metabolism and energy production [3]. It also imparts the Protein+ Bar with a softer texture. Honey Honey is a natural sweetener with a diverse nutritional profile, including trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants. Unlike refined sugars, honey contains flavonoids and phenolic acids that contribute to its antioxidant properties, offering potential health benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects. Its lower glycemic index than table sugar means it has a more stable impact on blood sugar levels. Tapioca Syrup Tapioca syrup, derived from the starch of the cassava root, is a natural sweetener that offers a gluten-free alternative to corn syrup. The body rapidly absorbs tapioca syrup, providing a quick energy boost to keep you moving. Sea Salt Sea salt is less processed than regular table salt and more flavorful, so its inclusion in the Protein+ Bar was a no-brainer. Sea salt is a natural source of numerous electrolyte minerals, notably magnesium, sodium, and potassium, adding not only a dash of flavor but also essential micronutrients to the final product. How To Use Open the wrapper, remove the bar, take a bite, and try not to eat it all at once! After removal from the wrapper, Protein+ Bars can be placed on a plate or napkin and microwaved for 15-20 seconds for a softer, melt-in-your-mouth treat. Optimal Consumption Times Protein+ Bars can be eaten any time you want a healthy meal or snack, but we typically recommend eating them after a workout or when you don't have time to eat a whole-food meal. FAQs Are Protein Bars Healthy, and How Many Should I Eat Per Day? Protein bars are not intrinsically healthy nor unhealthy since it depends on what they contain and how they fit into the overall scope of your dietary needs (the same applies to how many you should eat per day). We would contend that Protein+ Bars are "healthy" because of the balanced macronutrient profile and our ingredient selection, but that doesn't mean you should eat several of them per day (especially if it doesn't align with your macronutrient intake goals). When Is the Best Time to Eat a Protein Bar, and Can it Replace a Meal? Protein+ Bars can be eaten any time you want a healthy meal replacement or snack, though you might need to eat more than one bar if you're using it as a large meal replacement. We typically recommend Protein+ Bars after a workout, when you don't have time to eat a whole-food meal, or when you want a high-protein snack throughout the day. What Should I Look For in a Protein Bar? This depends on your goals and dietary needs/restrictions; however, we think it's important to look for a protein bar that is made with wholesome, natural ingredients and to be cautious when you see protein bars labeled as "sugar-free" or "low net carbs" as they very likely contains exorbitant amounts of fiber and/or sugar alcohols. Is it Healthier to Have Protein Bars or Protein Shakes? Either of these can be healthy options depending on your macronutrient intake goals and dietary preferences/restrictions. Some may argue that pure protein shakes are "healthier" because they contain mostly protein and fewer ingredients, but protein bars can be a healthy choice too, particularly when you need more than just protein (i.e. a snack or meal replacement). Are Protein+ Bars Considered Vegan Protein Bars? Unfortunately, no. The Protein+ Bar is not a vegan protein bar since it contains egg white and whey protein, which are derived from animals. However, we do carry vegan protein powder made with rice and pea protein. Does this Product Contain Nuts? Yes, this product directly contains nuts (peanuts and coconut). If you are allergic to these, we recommend checking out our whey protein powder instead. Is this Product Gluten-Free? While many of the ingredients in Protein+ bars are gluten-free, the product as a whole is not tested for traces of gluten. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that Protein+ Bars are gluten-free. What's in the Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips? Our chocolate chips are made with unsweetened chocolate, cane sugar, and cocoa butter.

When nitric oxide production increases, blood flow improves, allowing nutrients and oxygen to replenish muscle tissue more efficiently. Ultimately, this translates to greater muscle pumps and heightened energy levels. Numerous studies have demonstrated the ergogenic effects of L-citrulline malate, the citrulline salt of malic acid, such as: Improving strength, aerobic performance, and muscle endurance [2, 3] Elevating nitric oxide levels even more than equivalent doses of L-arginine [4] Enhancing muscle anabolism and reducing muscle catabolism [5] Beta-Alanine | 4,000 mg Beta-alanine is a beta-amino acid that combines with L-histidine to form a dipeptide known as carnosine. Supplementing with beta-alanine has been shown to increase muscle carnosine levels, which are quickly depleted during intense exercise [6]. Carnosine is an endogenous dipeptide that functions as a buffer in muscle cells, thereby attenuating the accumulation of acidic byproducts of muscular exertion (e.g. lactate and hydrogen ions) [7]. Hence, bolstering muscle carnosine levels—via beta-alanine—allows you to push yourself longer and harder in the gym. Pre-workout supplements almost always contain beta-alanine but in inefficacious doses. We made sure to include an evidence-based dose of beta-alanine (2,000 mg) in every scoop of LEAN Pre-Workout. Relevant evidence-based benefits of beta-alanine include: Delaying the onset of neuromuscular fatigue during intense exercise [8] Increasing overall muscle strength [9] Improving muscle endurance and total work capacity [10] Reducing and combatting the formation of dysfunctional proteins and promoting the formation of healthy proteins [11] Significantly increasing lean muscle mass as part of a diligent resistance-training program [12] *Note that beta-alanine causes a benign tingling sensation known as paresthesia while the body acclimates to higher carnosine levels. This effect is harmless and gradually lessens with consistent use. BetaPure™ Betaine Anhydrous | 2,500 mg Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a biologically important osmolyte and methyl donor. Betaine supplementation has been shown to improve strength gains and, to a lesser extent, endurance capacity in athletes [13, 14, 15]. Though the mechanisms are not entirely clear, Pre-workout betaine use ostensibly promotes athletic performance by maintaining cellular hydration and reducing homocysteine levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health [16]. Taurine | 1,300 mg L-taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid often considered essential to pre-workout supplementation due to its diverse benefits for athletes and gym-goers. For one, taurine is a potent nootropic that promotes focus and attenuates brain cell inflammation and oxidative stress [17, 18]. Taurine can also enhance physical performance via increased blood flow to skeletal muscle tissue [19, 20]. Greater blood flow to muscle tissue encourages a favorable milieu for muscle function and recovery during training. Additionally, taurine supplementation has been shown to improve performance in endurance athletes [21]. L-Tyrosine | 1,000 mg L-tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid and precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that govern motivation and reward. Research shows that supplementing with L-tyrosine can significantly enhance cognitive performance and increase alertness, especially under acute stress (such as intense training) [22]. L-tyrosine has also been shown to improve “cognitive flexibility,” meaning it can help you adapt to dynamic cognitive demands without letting extraneous thoughts undermine your focus [23]. Senactiv® 50mg SenActiv® is a patented adaptogenic herb combination featuring Panax notoginseng and rose hips (Rosa roxburghii). The Panax notoginseng in SenActiv® is highly concentrated in ginsenoside R1, a beneficial constituent that helps accelerate muscle recovery and reduce fatigue during/after intense exercise. Likewise, the rose hips in this ingredient provide several ginsenoside-like molecules that confer synergistic recovery-enhancing effects with ginsenoside R1 [24]. These phytonutrients are suggested to work by bolstering a cellular "cleaning" process known as autophagy, particularly in skeletal muscle cells [25, 26, 27]. elevATP® Ancient Peat and Apple Fruit Extract | 150 mg ElevATP® is a clinically researched combination of “ancient peat” (fossilized plants) and apple skin extracts. Using innovative biotechnology, elevATP® stimulates your body’s endogenous production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the veritable energetic currency of cells. By boosting ATP production, ElevATP® can help promote athletic performance (e.g. max strength) and improve body composition [28, 29]. ElevATP® is also a fast-acting ATP booster that starts working from the very first dose [30]. BioPerine® | 5 mg BioPerine® is a patented black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract standardized for its piperine content. Piperine is a natural alkaloid known for its “bioenhancer” properties, improving the bioavailability of molecules that are typically poorly absorbed or extensively metabolized in the liver [31, 32]. Hence, BioPerine® helps your body better absorb and utilize the other active ingredients in Bulk Black Pre-Workout. Huperzine A | 100 mcg Huperzine A is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the Chinese club moss Huperzia serrata. It has gained prominence in the world of cognitive enhancement for its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is a key neurotransmitter involved in muscle contraction, arousal, sleep, and cognition. By inhibiting its breakdown, huperzine A helps to maintain higher levels of cholinergic transmission, leading to improved mental focus, increased alertness, and better memory retention [33]. These effects make it a valuable addition to non-stim pre-workouts. How to Use For Beginners to Pre-Workout Supplements To assess tolerance, mix 1/2 scoop of Transparent Labs STIM-FREE Pre-Workout with 6 to 8 oz of water and consume 20-30 minutes before exercising, preferably on an empty stomach. If the effects feel subtle, increase to a full scoop before the next workout. For Experienced Pre-Workout Supplement Users Mix 1 full scoop of Transparent Labs Stim Free Pre-Workout with 10 to 12 oz of water and consume 20-30 minutes before exercising, preferably on an empty stomach. Third-Party Testing Please click below for third-party testing results from the most recent batch of Stim Free Pre-Workout: FAQs What is Stim-Free Pre-Workout Used For? Our stim-free pre-workout is designed to increase power and endurance by improving blood flow and supporting muscle growth and recovery. It's ideal for those who train in the afternoon or evening or are sensitive to caffeine/stimulants. Is a Stim-Free Pre-Workout Better than a Stim-Based Pre-Workout? Choosing between stim-free and stim-based pre-workout depends on your personal needs and tolerance for stimulants, notably caffeine. Many people admittedly love the jolt of wakefulness and increased vigilance that caffeine provides, and are more likely to perform well in the gym because of that. Obviously, the psychotropic rush you feel after taking a stim-based pre-workout will not be as apparent when taking a non-stim pre-workout. But if you work out later in the day, a stimulant-free pre-workout may be the better option so it doesn't interfere with your sleep. Will Stim-Free Pre-Workout Keep Me Up at Night? No, this formula contains 100% non-stimulant ingredients and won't cause restlessness. Can You Take Stim-Free Pre-Workout Every Day? Yes, it's safe to take our non-stim pre-workout daily as long as you adhere to recommended dosages. Our product is formulated with safe levels of each ingredient and is free from harmful additives, ensuring consistent performance benefits. How Does Non-Stim Pre-Workout Feel? If you've never taken a pre-workout supplement, Transparent Labs STIM-FREE will likely make you feel a little "tingly" under the skin for the first 15-20 minutes. This is due to the beta-alanine in the formula, but don't worry—it's harmless. You may also notice that your muscles feel and look fuller due to an increase in nitric oxide (which dilates the blood vessels). Does Non-Stim Pre-Workout Help Build Muscle? It sure can; the ingredients in our STIM-FREE Pre-Workout can help you train harder and longer, resulting in enhanced muscle gains (assuming you're eating a proper muscle-building diet). I am Subjected to Drug Testing for my Sport; Can I Take Stim Free Pre-Workout? Yes, absolutely. Transparent Labs LEAN Pre-Workout contains zero banned substances and is Informed Choice certified for athletes. What is the Difference Between Transparent Labs BULK, LEAN, and STIM-FREE Pre-Workouts? PreSeries BULK is designed to support lean muscle growth and includes testosterone-supporting micronutrients, while PreSeries LEAN is designed to support fat loss and includes a thyroid support complex. PreSeries STIM-FREE, as the name suggests, contains zero stimulants and has added elevATP® for energy production. Does this Product Contain Nuts? No! While Transparent Labs LEAN Pre-Workout is manufactured in a facility that processes nuts (coconuts and peanuts), we have an allergen control program that requires sanitization and cleaning of the manufacturing equipment to avoid cross-contamination of allergenic and hypoallergenic materials.

You can find all of our test results in the footer of our website. This product is also certified by Informed Choice to meet the highest standards for athletes and consumers. Active Ingredients and Benefits *Doses listed are per serving (1 full scoop) L-Citrulline Malate (2:1) | 8,000 mg L-citrulline is an amino acid naturally found in watermelon that plays an important role in kidney function. It's become a popular ingredient in pre-workout supplements due to its ability to boost nitric oxide levels [1]. When nitric oxide production increases, blood flow improves, allowing nutrients and oxygen to replenish muscle tissue more efficiently. Ultimately, this translates to greater muscle pumps and heightened energy levels. Numerous studies have demonstrated the ergogenic effects of L-citrulline malate, the citrulline salt of malic acid, such as: Improving strength, aerobic performance, and muscle endurance [2, 3] Elevating nitric oxide levels even more than equivalent doses of L-arginine [4] Enhancing muscle anabolism and reducing muscle catabolism [5] Beta-Alanine | 4,000 mg Beta-alanine is a beta-amino acid that combines with L-histidine to form a dipeptide known as carnosine. Supplementing with beta-alanine has been shown to increase muscle carnosine levels, which are quickly depleted during intense exercise [6].

Hence, bolstering muscle carnosine levels—via beta-alanine—allows you to push yourself longer and harder in the gym. Pre-workout supplements almost always contain beta-alanine but in inefficacious doses. We made sure to include a full clinical dose of beta-alanine (4,000 mg) in every scoop of BULK Pre-Workout. Relevant evidence-based benefits of beta-alanine include: Delaying the onset of neuromuscular fatigue during intense exercise [8] Increasing overall muscle strength [9] Improving muscle endurance and total work capacity [10] Reducing and combatting the formation of dysfunctional proteins and promoting the formation of healthy proteins [11] Significantly increasing lean muscle mass as part of a diligent resistance-training program [12] *Note that beta-alanine causes a benign tingling sensation known as paresthesia while the body acclimates to higher carnosine levels. This effect is harmless and gradually lessens with consistent use. BetaPure™ Betaine Anhydrous | 2,500 mg Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a naturally occurring metabolite that serves as a methyl donor and osmolyte in the body. Though the mechanisms are not entirely understood, betaine supplementation has shown promise in enhancing power output and, to a lesser extent, endurance capacity in athletes [13, 14, 15]. It is plausible that betaine supplementation promotes athletic performance by maintaining cellular hydration and reducing homocysteine levels, thereby encouraging healthy cardiovascular function and blood flow [16]. Taurine | 1,300 mg Taurine is another staple pre-workout ingredient with diverse benefits for athletes and gym-goers. For one, taurine is a potent nootropic that confers synergy with caffeine to promote focus and reduce brain cell inflammation and oxidative stress [17, 18]. Taurine can also enhance physical performance via increased blood flow to skeletal muscle tissue [19, 20]. Greater blood flow to muscle tissue encourages a favorable milieu for muscle function and recovery during training. Additionally, taurine supplementation has been shown to improve performance in endurance athletes [21]. L-Tyrosine | 1,000 mg L-tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid and precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that govern motivation and reward. Research shows that supplementing with L-tyrosine can significantly enhance cognitive performance, especially under acutely stressful situations (such as intense training) [22]. L-Tyrosine has also been shown to improve “cognitive flexibility,” meaning it can help you adapt to changing cognitive demands without letting extraneous thoughts take over [23]. AlphaSize® Alpha-GPC | 300 mg Alpha-GPC (glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a popular nootropic supplement and a bioavailable source of choline, an essential micronutrient for cholinergic transmission and, by extension, cognitive function. Alpha-GPC is primarily found in the brain and is one of the two major storage forms of choline in the cytosol (interior space of cells), along with phosphocholine [24]. This ingredient can enhance physical and mental performance by increasing acetylcholine and growth hormone production [25, 26, 27]. The former is important for focus and mental acuity, while the latter promotes fatty acid oxidation and reduces muscle tissue breakdown. As such, alpha-GPC (as patented AlphaSize®) is one of the key ingredients in Bulk Pre-Workout. PurCaf® Organic Caffeine | 275 mg While most pre-workouts contain synthetic caffeine anhydrous, we formulated BULK Black Pre-Workout with organic caffeine derived from green coffee beans (as PurCaf®). On the molecular level, caffeine (chemically known as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is an alkaline, organic substance derived from xanthine — a biologically important purine base found in many bodily tissues and fluids. Methylxanthines like caffeine and theobromine stimulate the central nervous system (CNS) and heart to promote wakefulness and motivation. Numerous studies have shown that taking caffeine before exercise can significantly improve overall performance, largely by reducing the rate of perceived exertion [28]. Caffeine may also enhance endurance and strength by increasing fatty acid oxidation and sparing muscle glycogen [29]. L-Theanine | 200 mg L-theanine is an isomer of the amino acids L-glutamate and L-glutamine. It was discovered centuries ago as one of the primary amino acids in green tea leaves and is also found in various mushroom species. L-theanine is highly bioavailable when taken orally and actively traverses the blood-brain barrier to enhance mental acuity and attenuate stress [30, 31]. Its nootropic effects are appropriately described as "alert relaxation," which is to say it promotes a sense of calmness while improving focus. L-theanine can also help take the edge off of stimulants, particularly caffeine. In fact, research shows that pairing L-theanine with caffeine creates a nootropic synergy that bolsters cognitive function and alertness more effectively than taking either nootropic on its own [32]. Theobromine | 100 mg Theobromine is the primary alkaloid found in cocoa beans and is essentially the “little brother” of caffeine. Its functions in the body are suggested to be complementary to those of caffeine, acting as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and central nervous system stimulant [33]. Research has also found that theobromine has differential contributions to mood and cognitive function compared to caffeine, providing further insight into the distinct yet synergistic nature of these naturally occurring stimulants [34]. Infinergy™ Di-Caffeine Malate | 75 mg Infinergy™ is a trademarked form of sustained-release caffeine (as di-caffeine malate) that delivers the same mental and physical performance benefits as normal caffeine but with a longer duration of action. In other words, Infinergy™ helps take you the extra mile when you need it most. SenActiv® | 50 mg SenActiv® is a patented adaptogenic herb combination featuring Panax notoginseng and rose hips (Rosa roxburghii). The Panax notoginseng in SenActiv® is highly concentrated in ginsenoside R1, a beneficial constituent that helps accelerate muscle recovery during/after intense exercise. Likewise, the rose hips in this ingredient provide several ginsenoside-like molecules that confer synergistic recovery-enhancing effects with ginsenoside R1 [35]. These phytonutrients are suggested to work by bolstering a cellular "cleaning" process known as autophagy, particularly in skeletal muscle cells [36, 37, 38]. BioPerine® | 5 mg BioPerine® is a patented black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract standardized for its piperine content. Piperine is a natural alkaloid known for its “bioenhancer” properties, improving the bioavailability of molecules that are typically poorly absorbed or extensively metabolized in the liver [39, 40]. Hence, BioPerine® helps your body better absorb and utilize the other active ingredients in Bulk Black Pre-Workout. Boron Citrate | 3,000 mcg (3 mg) Boron is an important trace mineral with numerous roles in the human body. Recent evidence suggests that men who supplement with boron daily have higher levels of testosterone and lower levels of estradiol (estrogen) than those who don’t [41]. Zinc Chelate | 10 mg Chelated zinc is a bioavailable source of zinc, an essential cofactor for various enzymes. Research suggests zinc is crucial for supporting fertility and sperm cell counts in men [42]. This is largely because zinc aids in natural testosterone production, and males who are zinc deficient are at a higher risk of infertility [43]. Vitamins B6 and B12 | 5 mg and 100 mcg Vitamins, as a collective group, are essential micronutrients that act as coenzymes (read: "helper molecules") for enzymes throughout the body. Vitamins B6 and B12 are water-soluble vitamins that are particularly important for cognitive function, cardiovascular health, nutrient metabolism, and immunity [44, 45]. As such, you can't go wrong with having these in your pre-workout arsenal. Sodium and Potassium | 180 mg and 125 mg Many minerals act as electrolytes in aqueous solutions, meaning they carry an electric charge that influences concentration gradients across cellular membranes and enzyme functions. Sodium and potassium are arguably the most important electrolyte minerals, being well-known to impact hydration status and exercise performance [46]. How to Use For Beginners To assess tolerance, mix 1/2 scoop of Bulk Black Pre-Workout with 6 to 8 oz of water and consume 20-30 minutes before exercising, preferably on an empty stomach. If the effects feel subtle, increase to a full scoop before the next workout. For Experienced Pre-Workout Users Mix 1 full scoop of Bulk Black Pre-Workout with 10 to 12 oz of water and consume 20-30 minutes before exercising, preferably on an empty stomach. FAQs What is the Difference Between Bulk and Bulk Black? Bulk Black contains a stronger dose of caffeine and theobromine and has added Infinergy™ sustained-release caffeine. The formulas are otherwise the same. How Much Caffeine is in Bulk Black? Bulk Black contains approximately 305 mg of caffeine per serving, from organic green coffee beans and di-caffeine malate. Does Transparent Labs Bulk Black have Creatine? No, this pre-workout formula does not contain creatine. How Should Bulk Black Pre Workout be Taken to Maximize its Effectiveness? In terms of timing, we recommend taking Bulk Black 20-30 minutes prior to your workout. In terms of how much water to drink with Bulk Black, we recommend mixing 8-12 fl. oz of water with 1/2 scoop (to assess tolerance) and mixing 16-24 fl. oz of water with 1 full scoop. I am Subjected to Drug Testing for my Sport, Can I Take PreSeries Bulk Black Pre-Workout? Yes, absolutely. Transparent Labs Bulk Black Pre-Workout contains zero banned substances and is Informed Choice certified for athletes. Why Doesn't Bulk Black Contain Creatine? Large doses of caffeine may interfere with the ergogenic effects of creatine [47]; since Bulk Black Pre-Workout contains caffeine, we decided to keep the creatine separate. What is the difference between PreSeries Bulk Black, PreSeries Lean, and PreSeries Stim-Free? Bulk Black is designed to support lean muscle growth and includes a testosterone support complex, while Lean pre-workout is designed to support fat loss and includes a thyroid support complex. Stim-Free, as the name suggests, contains zero stimulants and has added elevATP. If you want to see how we compare Bulk Black to other well-rated pre-workouts, check out our best pre-workout blog post here. Does this Product Contain Nuts? No!

This effect is harmless and gradually lessens with consistent use. BetaPure™ Betaine Anhydrous | 1,500 mg Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a naturally occurring metabolite that serves as a methyl donor and osmolyte in the body. Though the mechanisms are not entirely understood, betaine supplementation has shown promise in enhancing power output and, to a lesser extent, endurance capacity in athletes [13, 14, 15]. It is plausible that betaine supplementation promotes athletic performance by maintaining cellular hydration and reducing homocysteine levels, thereby encouraging healthy cardiovascular function and blood flow [16]. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) | 1,000 mg Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is a bioavailable form of L-carnitine, an essential molecule for transporting fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes so they can be used for energy. ALCAR is suggested to have diverse ergogenic properties for athletes and gym-goers due to its potent nootropic effects that promote healthy mood and cognitive function and protect against neurodegeneration [17, 18]. ALCAR may also enhance physical performance and target stubborn fat by facilitating fatty acid oxidation [19, 20]. Choline Bitartrate | 500 mg Choline is an essential micronutrient for cholinergic transmission and, by extension, cognitive function. This ingredient can enhance physical and mental performance by increasing acetylcholine and supporting lipid metabolism [21, 22]. PurCaf® Organic Caffeine | 180 mg While most pre-workouts contain synthetic caffeine anhydrous, we formulated LEAN Pre-Workout with organic caffeine derived from green coffee beans (as PurCaf®).
