Q: How do I use The Muscle Growth Stack?

To get the most out of The Muscle Growth Stack, take 1 scoop of Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ and 1-to-2 scoops of Pulse 15-to-30 minutes before training, and 1-to-2 scoops of Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ and 1 serving of Recharge within an hour or two of finishing your workout. On non-training days, take a serving of Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ whenever’s convenient and a serving of Recharge with any meal containing carbs.

Q: Is The Muscle Growth Stack for men and women?

Yes. Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ , Pulse, and Recharge boost performance, muscle growth, and recovery equally well in men and women. The only thing to remember is that each serving of Pulse contains 350 milligrams of caffeine, which may be too much for some women (or smaller men). In those cases, ½ of a serving (which contains more active ingredients than a full serving of most other pre-workout supplements) works perfectly. Bottles last longer this way too!

Q: Should I use The Muscle Growth Stack when I’m dieting for fat loss or only when I’m dieting for muscle growth?

Yes. Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ , Pulse, and Recharge boost performance, muscle growth, and recovery equally well in men and women. The only thing to remember is that each serving of Pulse contains 350 milligrams of caffeine, which may be too much for some women (or smaller men). In those cases, ½ of a serving (which contains more active ingredients than a full serving of most other pre-workout supplements) works perfectly. Bottles last longer this way too!

Q: Can I take these products while pregnant/nursing?

You can take Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ while pregnant and breastfeeding, but it’s probably best to wait until after you give birth and finish nursing before taking Pulse or Recharge. That’s because there isn’t enough research to know how certain ingredients in Pulse and Recharge affect a developing baby or whether they’d work their way into breastmilk and affect a nursing child. That’s not to say Pulse and Recharge are dangerous; it’s just better to be prudent and skip any ingredients that haven’t been proven safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Q: Should I choose Pulse with or without caffeine?

It depends. The caffeine in regular Pulse makes it slightly more effective at boosting strength, power, and endurance than stim-free Pulse. Thus, if you want to maximize your athletic performance and don’t experience adverse side effects when you have large doses of caffeine, train late at night when caffeine may impair sleep, or already consume a lot of caffeine each day, regular Pulse is probably the best option. However, if you’re very sensitive to caffeine, train later in the day, or prefer to get caffeine from other sources (like coffee and tea) but still want to take a pre-workout supplement that’ll enhance your performance in the gym, then stim-free Pulse is probably more fitting for you.

Q: Should I take these products every day or only on training days?

For best results, take Recharge daily. This keeps your creatine levels topped off, which boosts strength, recovery, and endurance. While you don’t have to take Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ every day, doing so is sensible because it makes hitting your daily protein target easier. Only take Pulse on days you train. Taking it more regularly than this increases the chances that you’ll build a tolerance to its ingredients, which will diminish its performance-boosting effects over time.

Q: How quickly will I see results?

It’s difficult to say how quickly you’ll see results with Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ because it largely depends on your training program and the rest of your diet. That said, most people experience less muscle soreness after taking Whey+ Casein+ Plant+ for a couple of days and notice they build muscle more effectively after a few weeks of continued use. You should experience the performance- and concentration-boosting effects of Pulse immediately after taking it, though it’ll take a couple of weeks of regular use before the beta-alanine in Pulse increases carnosine levels in your muscles enough to improve muscle endurance. Likewise, you have to use Recharge every day for a week or two to max out your muscle creatine stores. After that, however, you should notice an increase in strength and endurance during your workouts and that you recover faster after training.

Q: What does the Prop65 warning on the labels mean?

Our products include a Proposition 65 warning in compliance with California’s regulatory guidelines, which are among the most stringent and sweeping in the world. A Proposition 65 warning does not indicate whether a product is safe or unsafe. Rather, Proposition 65 is a consumer notification law in California that requires warnings to inform consumers about the presence of one or more of over 900 substances in various types of products. These substances include naturally occurring and ubiquitous compounds, even when present at levels below those known to cause harm.

Q: Is The Muscle Growth Stack gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan?

The Muscle Growth Stack is gluten-free and vegetarian, but it’s not vegan because Whey+ contains dairy.

Ingredients (15.1 grams per serving)

Caffeine (350 milligrams per serving)

Many of us can’t shake the cobwebs without our morning cup of coffee, but this powerful compound is a lot more than a mere pick-me-up.

Caffeine also boosts metabolism, improves strength, promotes muscle endurance, and enhances anaerobic performance.[46][47][48]

The clinically effective dose of caffeine for enhancing performance is between 3 and 6 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.[49]

L-Theanine (350 milligrams per serving)

L-theanine is an amino acid found primarily in tea that’s responsible for some of its health benefits.

It helps balance the levels of two chemicals in the brain known as glutamate and GABA, which transmit nerve impulses.

That’s why research shows that supplementation with L-theanine . . .

Reduces the effects of mental stress[50]
Increases the production of nitric oxide, which improves blood flow[51]
When paired with caffeine, improves mood, memory performance, and attention[52][53][54][55]

The clinically effective dose of L-theanine when combined with caffeine is between a ratio of 1:1 and 2:1 theanine to caffeine, but as 2:1 may produce a calming effect, 1:1 is optimal for working out.

Citrulline Malate (8 grams per serving)

Citrulline malate is the amino acid L-citrulline bound with malic acid, a natural substance found in many fruits that is involved in the creation of cellular energy.

L-citrulline turns into another amino acid in the body known as L-arginine, which increases the production of a gas known as nitric oxide that widens blood vessels and improves blood flow.[56][57]

This is why research shows that supplementation with citrulline malate . . .

Improves muscle endurance[58][59][60]
Relieves muscle soreness[61]
Improves aerobic performance[62][63]

The clinically effective dose of citrulline malate is between 4 and 10 grams.

Beta-Alanine (3.6 grams per serving)

Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that regulates the amount of the molecule carnosine that can be stored in the muscles.[64]

Carnosine reduces muscle acidity, which increases the amount of work that muscles can do before they become fatigued.[65]

This is why research shows that supplementation with beta-alanine . . .

Reduces exercise-induced fatigue[66][67][68][69]
Improves anaerobic exercise capacity[70][71][72][73][74]
Increases potential workload, which can lead to an increase in lean mass[75][76]
Reduces feelings of fatigue during exercise[77][78][79]

The clinically effective dose of beta-alanine is between 2.6 and 6.4 grams.

We chose to include 3.6 grams of beta-alanine per serving because it provides significant performance benefits while also minimizing the common and harmless side effect of a mild prickling, itching, or tingling of the skin.[80]

Alpha-GPC (300 milligrams per serving)

Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (also known as alpha-GPC and glycerophosphocholine) is a compound that contains two molecules known as choline and glycerophosphate.

Choline is a nutrient that’s vital for brain health and function, and glycerophosphate is a substance that helps transport choline to the brain.

When ingested, alpha-GPC increases the activity of a chemical in the brain known as acetylcholine, which is used by nerves to communicate with each other, and provides the brain with glycerophosphate, which can improve its health and function.

This is why research shows that supplementation with alpha-GPC . . .

Increases power output[81]
Mitigates cognitive decline as we age[82]
Increases growth hormone levels[83]

The clinically effective dose of alpha-GPC is between 150 and 1,200 milligrams, with 250 to 500 milligrams sufficient for cognitive benefits and higher doses required for affecting dementia.[84]

We chose to include 300 milligrams of alpha-GPC (50%) per serving because it’s enough to provide some benefit without eating up too much budget that we’d rather spend on other ingredients.

Furthermore, this dose reduces the likelihood of headaches in people who are using Pulse and Forge together, and especially in people who are using Pulse, Forge, and Ascend together.

Betaine (2.5 grams per serving)

Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine) is an amino acid found in various foods like beets (hence the name), spinach, and quinoa.

Betaine’s rich in a special molecule known as a methyl group, which is a vital component of many physiological functions, including DNA production, fat metabolism, cellular energy production, and more.

Betaine’s also an osmolyte, which is a substance that helps balance fluid levels inside and outside cells.

These two properties are beneficial during times of physical stress, and this is why studies show that betaine boosts muscle endurance and increases strength.[85][86]

The clinically effective dose of betaine is between 1.25 and 2.5 grams.

100% Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.[87][88][89][90][91][92]

That’s why we use the natural sweeteners stevia and erythritol instead. Studies show that these ingredients are not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better insulin sensitivity, enhanced cholesterol profile, lower inflammation levels, and more.[93][94][95][96]
