It would be unrealistic to think you can push your body and exercise at the same high intensity every day. Sometimes, life happens, resulting in low motivation and increased fatigue. That is where a premium pre-workout supplement comes in handy to alleviate your training intensity.

Why use pre-workout supplements?

Pre-workout supplements are known to enhance athletic performance, boost energy levels, and improve strength and endurance. But will these supplements really help you to push your body beyond its limits? 

Thanks to the specifically formulated ingredients in pre-workout supplements, they are known to make you exercise harder for longer, maximise performance and focus, boost energy levels, and improve strength and endurance. 

Qhush Platinum Black

USN has launched its latest ultimate pre-workout supplement, Qhush Platinum Black. Qhush Platinum Black has been formulated to fuel your exercise journey.

Qhush Platinum Black ingredients

For a pre-workout supplement to be effective, it must contain the correct quantities of specific ingredients. Qhush Platinum Black has specifically been formulated with ingredients that will encourage extreme performance, offer rapid energy with no crash, promote massive muscle pumps, and increase intense focus and concentration. The ingredients include:

Caffeine

Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant, which means that once it has been ingested, it will increase your body’s energy. Pre-workout supplements that contain caffeine are ideal when you want to get the most out of your training session by boosting your energy and mental alertness, which can especially be helpful when you train in the mornings or during the day. Pre-workout supplements with caffeine can improve your training by reducing the perception of fatigue and providing enhanced energy. 

Qhush Platinum Black contains 250 mg caffeine per 2 scoops.

L-citrulline Malate (2:1)

Let’s get technical first: L-citrulline is an amino acid found in watermelon. Malate is an organic salt that is added to L-citrulline in two parts, namely 2:1. The 2:1 ratio refers to the balance of citrulline and malate—two parts citrulline and one part malate. L-citrulline malate is basically a combination of the amino acid L-citrulline and malic acid.

How does it enhance your exercise performance? L-citrulline increases nitric oxide (a component that increases blood flow) and oxygen in the muscle. An increase in blood flow to working muscle can improve your training intensity as it supplies the muscle with fresh oxygen and blood and flushes the muscle’s waste back to the kidneys. Removing waste from the muscle improves tissue health, results in faster recovery, and reduces soreness after a tough training session. Every compound in your body requires oxygen. Increased blood flow during training will result in more oxygen in the muscle, making it easier to push your body beyond its limits.

It is essential to remember that the dosage and timing of ingesting L-citrulline malate are crucial to this ingredient enhancing your athletic performance. You need to take citrulline an hour before training.

Qhush Platinum Black contains 5000 mg L-citrulline Malate (2:1) per 2 scoops.

Beta-alanine

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that helps produce carnosine—an organic compound that can assist the muscle to perform longer before they become fatigued. Supplementing with beta-alanine can boost carnosine levels in the muscle by 80%. Carnosine lowers lactic acid build-up in your muscle during exercise, enhancing athletic performance.

Qhush Platinum Black contains 3 200 mg beta-alanine per 2 scoops.

Arginine AKG

Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is necessary to produce nitric oxide, leading to increased muscle pump. It increases vasodilation, allowing the body to transport nutrients to the muscle better and remove waste more effectively. Vasodilation also increases blood flow to muscles, resulting in volumisation and muscle fullness.

Qhush Platinum Black contains 1 000 mg arginine AKG per 2 scoops.

L-tyrosine

It helps maintain mental focus in stressful situations and helps build neurotransmitters that get broken down during exercise, increasing focus and mental prowess. L-tyrosine is the ideal cognitive enhancer to ensure peak concentration during intense workouts.

Qhush Platinum Black contains 500 mg L-tyrosine per 2 scoops.
