Ingredients (1,750 millligrams per serving)
Rhodiola Rosea (150 milligrams per serving)
Rhodiola rosea (also known as Golden Root) is a plant that grows in cold parts of the world, including the Arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America.
It’s known as an adaptogen, which is a substance that causes an imperceptible level of stress in the body and trains it to better handle future stresses.
Research shows that supplementation with rhodiola rosea . . .
Improves mood and reduces symptoms of stress and depression[9][10][11]
May help the body defend against viral infections[16]
The clinically effective dose of rhodiola rosea is unknown, but most long-term benefits have been observed with 90 to 120 milligrams.
Vitality contains 150 milligrams of rhodiola rosea per serving, a slightly higher dose, because it may produce quicker results.
DHEA (100 milligrams per serving)
DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is a hormone produced by our adrenal glands and artificially created from chemicals in wild yam and soy.
Our body converts DHEA into male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, and natural production peaks in our early 30s and gradually declines as we get older.
Research shows that supplementing with DHEA increases testosterone production in older men and estrogen production in older women, and this can improve bone density (mostly in women), lessen cognitive impairment, and improve strength.[17][18][19][20][21]
The clinically effective dose of DHEA is between 50 and 200 milligrams.
Bilberry Extract (1,500 milligrams per serving)
Bilberry extract is a substance derived from the fruit of the bilberry plant.
It contains molecules known as anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that give red, purple, and blue plants their rich coloring.
Research shows that supplementation with anthocyanins, like those in bilberry extract . . .
The clinically effective dose of bilberry extract depends on its anthocyanin content, and most benefits have been observed in the range of 375 to 1,000 milligrams of dark berry anthocyanins.
Vitamin B12 (6 micrograms per serving)
Vitamin B12 supports the nervous system and blood cells and is involved in the production of DNA and in the metabolism of food.
It’s also a common deficiency among older individuals because the production of an enzyme required to extract B12 from food known as intrinsic factor declines as we age. Hence, B12 supplementation is prudent in midlife and beyond.
The Reference Daily Intake (the daily amount required to meet the needs of most people) for vitamin B12 is 2.4 micrograms.
We’ve included additional B12 because research shows that higher doses may alleviate depressive symptoms and support cognition and mood.[29][30][31]
No Artificial Food Dyes or Other Chemical Junk
Studies show that artificial food dyes may cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[32][33][34][35][36]
Lab Tested for Potency & Purity
Every bottle of Vitality is analyzed in a state-of-the-art ISO 17025 accredited lab to verify what is and isn’t in it. That way, you know exactly what you’re getting and putting into your body.

"There are a lot of sleazy supplement companies out there, but Legion is not one of them. Their products are free of fillers and inactive ingredients and they take the time (and money) to test them with independent labs to ensure you're getting what you pay for."
Menno Henselmans, MS
Founder of Bayesian Bodybuilding, Published Scientist, Physique Coach, and Legion Advisory Board Member
"Legion consults with nutrition experts to make honest, science-based products and then proves they're genuine with independent lab work. That's how all supplement companies should operate."
Dr. Bill Campbell, PhD
Professor of Exercise Science at University of South Florida and Legion Advisory Board Member
"Legion is science-based at its core. All of their products contain doses proven to be effective by scientific studies, and they fund new research. They don't just want to sell you supplements—they want to change the supplement industry for the better."
James Krieger, MS
Published Scientist, Author, and Speaker
"There are three reasons I like Legion. First, they use ingredients backed by independent, peer-reviewed scientific studies. Second, the quality of their supplements exceeds many in the industry and you know you’re getting what’s on the label. Third, Mike Matthews is a solid evidence-based guy who doesn’t over-hype."
Chris Barakat, MS
Published Scientist and Physique Coach
"I've been involved in the supplement industry for over a decade now, and I can tell you that Legion is the ONLY company doing EVERYTHING right! They make effective products that are backed by scientific evidence, properly dose all of their ingredients, source every ingredient from the highest-quality sources, and are transparent about exactly what goes in each and every product."
Kurtis Frank

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Vitality?
Take 3 capsules daily. For best results, take one serving in the morning with food. Don't exceed 2 servings (6 capsules) per day.
Isn’t DHEA a banned substance? Why is it included in Vitality?
DHEA is a banned substance in several sports and regulatory organizations, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA, National Football League (NFL), and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Although it’s categorized as an anabolic steroid, DHEA is not a performance-enhancing anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) like testosterone, Dianabol, or Winstrol.
It's included in Vitality because DHEA levels decline as we age, and taking it as a supplement can improve testosterone and estrogen levels in older individuals. DHEA is produced naturally by the body, and the dose in Vitality is well within this physiologically normal amount.
Isn’t DHEA a steroid?
DHEA is not exactly a steroid. Typically, steroids are performance-enhancing drugs that are usually man-made chemicals taken at high doses. Although by definition DHEA is a steroid hormone, it's produced naturally by the body, and the dose in Vitality is well within the amount naturally produced by the body. That said, DHEA is banned by WADA, so athletes competing in tested competitions shouldn't take Vitality.
Who is Vitality intended for? Younger or older individuals? Can younger people still benefit from Vitality?
Vitality is primarily intended for older individuals, however, younger people can still benefit. Studies show DHEA, Rhodiola rosea, and bilberry extract can improve testosterone levels, reduce fatigue, and enhance mood in young people. That said, DHEA is banned by WADA, the NCAA, and the IOC, so athletes competing or planning on competing in tested competitions shouldn't take Vitality.
When is the best time to take Vitality?
The best time to take Vitality is in the morning with food. We suggest taking a serving (3 capsules) with breakfast. You can also take it in the afternoon, but some people notice a stimulating effect from Rhodiola rosea, so it may be best to avoid taking Vitality later in the day or evening.
Are there any side-effects I should know about?
Side-effects you should know about include possible interactions with blood-thinning medications. Both Rhodiola rosea and bilberry extract could theoretically interact with blood-thinning medication, so it’s worth talking with your doctor if you take warfarin or similar medicines.
There shouldn’t be any other issues, but everyone is unique. If you experience anything unusual after taking Vitality, shoot us an email and we’ll see if we can help!
What does the Prop65 warning on the label mean?
The Prop65 warning on the label means the product contains one of 900 chemicals. The product is still safe to use and has the label because California's Proposition 65 goes well beyond the safe levels set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and requires the label by law (even when the chemical is found in trace amounts). You should not be concerned about it and don't need to be worried--Vitality is completely safe. Just because a product bears the Prop 65 label doesn’t mean it’s dangerous (for instance, just two servings of tuna puts you well over the Prop65 limit for lead).[1]

Clinically Effective Doses
You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
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.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

This is the content
Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.
Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.
Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.
Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.
Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.
We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.
Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.
Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.
It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
