Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out Ingredients

Each scoop (19.5g) of Fresh Out contains the following ingredients:

  • Broken Shackles Blood Flow Matrix

    Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out Ingredients

    • L-Citrulline (6,000mg)

      Citrulline is a conditionally essential amino acid recognized for its ability to enhance nitric oxide (NO) production.[1] In certain conditions like illness, stress, or injury, your body’s natural production of citrulline may be insufficient to meet its increased demands, making supplementation necessary. During these times, ensuring an adequate intake of citrulline is crucial to bridge the gap between your body’s needs and its production capacity.

      Citrulline is converted into arginine, which then produces nitric oxide. While arginine is the direct precursor to NO, its low oral bioavailability makes citrulline a more effective supplement. Citrulline is better absorbed, leading to higher arginine levels in the bloodstream, which in turn promotes NO synthesis.[2,3] Increased NO in the blood induces vasodilation, improving blood flow, tissue oxygenation, nutrient delivery, and metabolic waste removal, ultimately benefiting cardiovascular health and athletic performance.[4-6]

      Citrulline supplementation has been associated with several athletic benefits, including enhanced power output, increased endurance, reduced post-workout muscle soreness, and stimulation of growth hormone secretion.[7-9] It also raises blood levels of ornithine,[10] which helps eliminate ammonia,[11] a toxic byproduct of muscle metabolism that contributes to fatigue.

    • Beta-Alanine (3,200mg)

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out

      Beta-alanine is a well-established sports supplement known for its affordability, safety, and effectiveness as an ergogenic aid, which enhances athletic performance. Its primary mechanism involves binding to L-histidine to form carnosine, a dipeptide highly concentrated in muscle tissue. Carnosine plays a crucial role in reducing lactic acid buildup, a metabolic byproduct that can lead to muscle fatigue during exercise.[12]

      By reducing lactate accumulation, beta-alanine supplementation helps delay the onset of anaerobic fatigue, particularly during moderate to high-intensity exercise, leading to increased endurance. While carnosine itself has poor oral bioavailability, beta-alanine is readily absorbed and effectively boosts carnosine levels in the muscles, making it a more practical supplement for enhancing endurance.

      Research, including two major meta-analyses, has shown that beta-alanine is most effective at increasing endurance during efforts lasting between 30 seconds and 10 minutes.[13,14]

    • HydroPrime (2,000mg)

      HydroPrime is a glycerol-based ingredient from the industry leaders at NNB Nutrition designed to prevent clumping while enhancing muscle pumps. HydroPrime is a 65%+ stabilized glycerol powder that, unlike other forms of glycerol, resists clumping due to its improved stability, making it a reliable choice for supplements. This innovation is particularly valuable as glycerol is known for its hyperhydration properties, promoting water retention and enhancing performance, endurance, and muscle pumps, especially in hot and humid environments.[15,16]

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out

      HydroPrime works by increasing osmotic pressure, drawing water into muscle cells to create a “water-based” pump effect, as well as better hydration, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular efficiency.[17-22] HydroPrime’s introduction offers users the benefits of glycerol without the common issues of clumping, making it an ideal addition to pre-workout formulas and other performance-enhancing supplements.

    • Betaine Anhydrous (2,000mg)

      Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine (TMG), is an ergogenic aid that enhances athletic performance through distinct mechanisms. One of its primary functions is to increase ATP production and improve mitochondrial respiration[23] by acting as a potent methyl donor, which helps regulate cellular processes.[24,25] Additionally, betaine plays a crucial role in reducing homocysteine levels, an amino acid linked to increased cardiovascular risk,[26] making it beneficial for both cardiovascular health and athletic performance.

      Another key mechanism of betaine is its role as an osmolyte, which helps regulate the movement of water into cells, promoting cellular hyperhydration. This increased hydration enhances nutrient access and improves resistance to heat stress, contributing to better performance.[27-29] Research has shown that betaine supplementation can improve strength, endurance, power, and body composition.[30-36]

    • Pink Himalayan Salt (500mg)

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out Tub

      Pink Himalayan salt replenishes sodium, which is lost through sweat during intense workouts. Despite concerns about sodium’s role in hypertension, it is essential for muscle function, performance, and recovery.[37,38]

    • CDP-Choline (250mg)

      Citicoline, a highly bioavailable form of choline, is essential for maintaining healthy cellular membranes and is crucial for cognitive function due to its role as a precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for learning and memory.[39] Acetylcholine aids in memory consolidation[40] and also enhances other cognitive skills, including balance and coordination,[41,42] by supporting cerebral blood flow and neuronal mitochondrial function.[43]

      Additionally, citicoline has a significant impact on focus, attention, and mental energy, largely due to its strong dopaminergic activity,[44,45] making it a preferred ingredient in nootropic formulations for enhancing cognitive performance.

  • Shanked Energy and Hyperfocus Matrix

    • Taurine (1000mg)

      Taurine is a versatile supplement increasingly recognized for its wide range of benefits, including boosting athletic endurance, improving cellular hydration, enhancing mitochondrial function, and combating oxidative stress. As an osmolyte, taurine helps maintain cellular hydration, which is crucial for better nutrient access, waste removal, and heat stress resistance during exercise.[46]

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out Transparent

      In addition to its physical benefits, taurine acts as a potent antioxidant[47,48] and plays a role in optimizing calcium signaling within muscle tissue,[49] further supporting exercise performance. It also mimics the neurotransmitter GABA, which has calming effects on the brain by inhibiting excitatory neurons.[50] This GABA-like action, combined with taurine’s ability to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis in brain cells, makes it valuable for cognitive health.[50,51]

      Moreover, taurine supports brain health by protecting neurons from stress and enhancing dopamine production and signaling, which can help maintain focus and motivation during intense workouts.[52]

    • L-Tyrosine (1000mg)

      L-tyrosine is a valuable pre-workout ingredient primarily because it supports thyroid function, which is essential for athletic performance, fat loss, and muscle building. The thyroid gland relies on tyrosine to produce vital hormones like triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).[53,54] For gym enthusiasts who often engage in intense workouts and calorie restriction, which can elevate cortisol levels and suppress thyroid function, supplementing with tyrosine can help maintain optimal thyroid health.[46,47,55]

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out Tub

      Additionally, tyrosine is a precursor to key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline,[48-50] which are crucial for focus, motivation, and mental energy during workouts. These neurotransmitters also play a role in stress response and body composition by reducing appetite and boosting fat burning.[51] Tyrosine’s benefits extend beyond the gym, as it has been shown to enhance alertness and cognitive performance, particularly during sleep deprivation, making it a valuable tool for maintaining mental sharpness under challenging conditions.[52,56]

    • Caffeine Anhydrous (400mg)

      Caffeine is a powerful methylxanthine stimulant capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier,[57] influencing the central nervous system to improve mood, focus, and athletic performance.[58] It combats fatigue by inhibiting adenosine, a byproduct of ATP hydrolysis that accumulates in the brain and induces mental and physical tiredness.[59,60] Additionally, caffeine enhances metabolism by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, which raises levels of cAMP, thereby increasing cellular metabolic activity.[58-62]

      Caffeine also aids in fat burning and can significantly improve body composition by increasing the body’s fat-burning rate,[63] with research showing an increase of up to 50%.[64] As a widely used ergogenic aid, caffeine boosts various dimensions of physical performance, including strength, speed, power, and endurance,[58,59,61,63,64] while offering cognitive benefits such as improved attention, vigilance, reaction time, and working memory.[52,56,57]

    • Pine Bark Extract (200mg)

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out

      Pine Bark Extract is rich in proanthocyanidins (PACs),[58] known for their strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support cardiovascular health.[59] The extract also contains phenolic acids, which help reduce inflammation, improve lipid profiles, lower blood pressure,[60,61] and enhance vascular function by promoting vessel relaxation and inhibiting LDL oxidation.[62-64]

      Studies have shown that oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) from pine bark extract offer cardioprotective benefits, including protecting the heart during myocardial infarction[65] and reducing the risk of chronic diseases through their anti-inflammatory effects.[66]

    • CognatiQ Coffee Fruit Extract (100mg)

      CognatiQ, formerly known as NeuroFactor, is a coffee fruit extract that has been widely used in supplements for its ability to boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),[67] a protein essential for neurogenesis—the growth and differentiation of new neurons.[68,69] Increased BDNF levels enhance neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to adapt and improve learning and memory, particularly in the hippocampus.[70]

      Elevated BDNF is also neuroprotective, reducing the risk of neurological diseases,[68,69,71] and combining BDNF-boosting supplements with exercise can further amplify these benefits.[72]

    • VitaShure Caffeine SR (100mg)

      Condemned Labz x Fresh: Fresh Out

      Vitashure caffeine is a slow-release form of caffeine that provides a smoother, more sustained energy boost compared to regular caffeine anhydrous. It results in a slower absorption into the bloodstream, creating a more gradual energy curve with a less intense initial effect and a gentler taper off.

    • p-Synephrine (100mg)

      Synephrine is an alkaloid that boosts metabolic rate and promotes fat burning by acting as a beta-3 adrenoceptor agonist, which increases calorie expenditure and reduces blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion.[73] It can raise daily caloric burn by up to 183 calories[74] and also enhances metabolism indirectly by improving exercise performance. Unlike ephedrine, synephrine is less taxing on the cardiovascular system,[73,75] making it a safer option for those seeking to enhance their metabolism and fat-burning capacity.

    • AstraGin (50mg)

      AstraGin, a patented bioavailability enhancer from NuLiv Science, boosts the absorption of nutrients by increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate in intestinal cells.[76-80] This enhanced absorption makes all other ingredients taken with it more effective, maximizing the benefits of your supplements.
