Because it is absorbed so efficiently, it works from day one \u2014 no loading phase, no off phase. Creatine HCl is the engine of the no-water-retention design that lets endurance athletes enjoy full creatine power without extra body weight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Creatine Nitrate <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 4000 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A 2-in-1 molecule: in the body it splits into creatine and inorganic nitrate, each absorbed separately. You get the phosphocreatine power of creatine and the nitric-oxide, oxygen-delivery and mitochondrial-efficiency benefits of nitrate from one ingredient. Studies over 28 days confirmed safety and showed improvements in lifting volume, peak power and velocity \u2014 in other words, more work, more power, more speed. Explosive endurance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Creapure\u00ae Creatine Monohydrate <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 1000 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Creapure\u00ae is the gold-standard creatine monohydrate manufactured by AlzChem in Trostberg, Germany \u2014 the most widely studied form of creatine on earth, IFS Food certified, vegan, kosher and halal, and tested to exclude impurities like dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazine. Creatine raises phosphocreatine stores so ATP is regenerated faster during repeated high-intensity efforts, supporting strength, ballistic power, sprint ability, muscle endurance, fatigue resistance, lean mass and recovery \u2014 in every sport, at every level, and increasingly recognised for brain performance and healthy ageing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Nitric Oxide &amp; Blood Flow Complex<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>L-Citrulline DL-Malate <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 400 mg<\/span> &amp; L-Citrulline <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 250 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Citrulline is the most efficient way to raise plasma arginine and nitric oxide because, unlike arginine, it bypasses first-pass metabolism in the gut and liver. It is also a core urea-cycle intermediate that removes ammonia. The malate salt adds a Krebs cycle intermediate (malate \u2192 oxaloacetate) for aerobic ATP production, while free-form citrulline delivers a fast, pure dose. Research links citrulline to more repetitions before failure, reduced perceived exertion and less muscle soreness 24\u201348 hours after training. It also supports muscle protein synthesis signalling and the post-exercise growth hormone response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 250 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Arginine is the direct substrate for nitric oxide synthase. Bound to alpha-ketoglutarate it does double duty: AKG is a Krebs cycle intermediate and a powerful ammonia scavenger (forming glutamate and glutamine), so it supports both vasodilation and detoxification during long efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Grape Seed Extract 95% Proanthocyanidins <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 300 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are among the most potent plant antioxidants. They protect nitric oxide from oxidative destruction, support endothelial function and blood flow, reduce oxidative damage from hard training, and support collagen and connective tissue integrity. Standardised to 95% so every milligram counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Maritime Pine Extract 95% Proanthocyanidins <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 200 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Pine bark OPCs complement grape seed with a different OPC profile. Research on pine bark extract in athletes points to improved endurance and reduced muscle fatigue through lower oxidative stress and inflammation, better circulation, and improved concentration and mood via enhanced cerebral blood flow. Pine bark OPCs also improve the recycling of vitamins C and E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Vitamin C <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 300 mg (375% NRV)<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Essential for collagen formation in blood vessels, cartilage, tendon and bone, for iron absorption and for protecting cells from oxidative stress. In this formula vitamin C also protects nitric oxide and regenerates vitamin E, and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Endurance Maximising Complex<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Calcium Pyruvate <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 1400 mg (910 mg pyruvic acid)<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis and the entry point of the Krebs cycle. It feeds the cycle via acetyl-CoA, replenishes oxaloacetate, participates in the glucose\u2013alanine cycle and the pyruvate\u2013lactate equilibrium, and supports fat oxidation. For athletes that means sustained energy, glycogen sparing, improved endurance, support for lean-muscle maintenance and reduced fatigue \u2014 delivered as calcium pyruvate for stability and an additional 27% NRV of calcium for muscle contraction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Beta-Alanine <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 250 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The rate-limiting precursor of muscle carnosine, the fibre&#8217;s main intracellular pH buffer. Higher carnosine delays the acidosis that forces you to slow down in efforts lasting 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Meta-analyses confirm improved exercise capacity, more work completed and later time to exhaustion. Beta-alanine supports anaerobic endurance, aerobic endurance, pH stability during training and the ability to train harder and longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Kaneka Ubiquinol\u2122 <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 400 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Ubiquinol is the reduced, active form of coenzyme Q10 \u2014 the form your body actually uses in the electron transport chain to make ATP, and the body&#8217;s major fat-soluble antioxidant. It is far better absorbed than conventional ubiquinone, so a lower dose achieves a higher plasma level. In the Olympic-athlete trial, 300 mg daily for 6 weeks increased power per kg significantly more than placebo; SCN\u2122 delivers 400 mg. Ubiquinol supports cellular energy production, peak power, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, mental alertness, CNS coordination and reduced post-exercise creatine kinase. Intensive training and ageing both deplete CoQ10 \u2014 this restores it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Glucuronolactone <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 1000 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A natural glucose metabolite in equilibrium with glucuronic acid. Research links glucuronolactone to inhibition of fatiguing exercise by-products and, in combination with caffeine and taurine, to improved aerobic and anaerobic performance, more total repetitions, better reaction time, concentration and memory. It has a well-documented synergy with citrulline and caffeine and supports liver detoxification pathways (glucuronidation).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Anhydrous Caffeine <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 30 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Deliberately micro-dosed. Caffeine mobilises fat for fuel, spares glycogen, lowers perceived exertion and sharpens the CNS. At 30 mg \u2014 roughly a third of an espresso \u2014 Krebs Cycle Accelerator\u2074\u2070 gives you the alertness and glycogen-sparing signal without heart-rate elevation, jitters or sleep disruption, so you can take it before evening sessions or stack it with your own caffeine strategy on race day. Fully competition-legal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>D-Ribose <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 250 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The five-carbon sugar that forms the backbone of ATP, ADP and AMP. After very intense exercise the total adenine nucleotide pool is depleted and can take days to rebuild; ribose shortens that process. Supports ATP resynthesis, muscle power and strength, tolerance to high-intensity exercise, recovery and endurance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ing\">\n<h4>Betaine HCl (Trimethylglycine) <span class=\"dose\">\u00b7 500 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A methyl donor and osmolyte from beetroot. Betaine supports endogenous creatine synthesis, protects cells from heat and osmotic stress, supports homocysteine metabolism and SAMe production (mood, sleep, cognition).

Single ingredients with strong evidence include nitrate (73-study meta-analysis showing improved power and time to exhaustion), ubiquinol (+2.5% power in Olympic athletes), Cordyceps (improved VO2 max and ventilatory threshold) and Rhodiola (longer time to exhaustion, lower heart rate). Krebs Cycle Accelerator\u2074\u2070 combines all of them, plus the Krebs cycle substrates and cofactors that let your mitochondria actually use that oxygen.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How is Krebs Cycle Accelerator\u2074\u2070 different from a pre-workout?<\/summary>\n<p>Pre-workouts are built around high caffeine for a stimulant hit. Krebs Cycle Accelerator\u2074\u2070 contains only 30 mg caffeine and is built around oxygen delivery, ATP production, acid buffering, ammonia clearance and hormonal support \u2014 the physiology that actually determines endurance and repeated power. It is a performance formula, not an energy drink.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is it only for endurance athletes?<\/summary>\n<p>No. The 9 g triple-creatine complex, betaine, D-ribose and phosphate make it a powerful strength and power formula too, and the CNS, reaction-time and ammonia-clearance systems make it ideal for team and combat sports. Endurance athletes get the oxygen and Krebs cycle systems; everyone else gets the same systems applied to repeated sprints and sets.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Will the creatine make me heavier or retain water?<\/summary>\n<p>The complex is designed around creatine HCl and creatine nitrate, both highly soluble forms taken without a loading phase, with just 1 g of Creapure\u00ae monohydrate. Athletes report the power of creatine without the water weight associated with 20 g\/day monohydrate loading protocols.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long before training should I take it?<\/summary>\n<p>30\u201340 minutes before your warm-up. Nitrate peaks in the blood at 2\u20133 hours but nitrite and NO effects begin within the hour; Rhodiola, citrulline, caffeine and glucuronolactone peak at 45\u201360 minutes \u2014 so the timing covers your main session.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I take it every day?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes \u2014 all doses are within established safe ranges and the formula contains no banned substances. Most athletes use it on key sessions and competition days (10 sachets = 10 hard days), and use SCN\u2122 Pre-Endurance Training Activator or Nitrate VO2 Maximizer\u00b9\u2077 for daily training.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is Krebs Cycle Accelerator\u2074\u2070 safe for drug-tested athletes?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. SCN\u2122 is 100% doping-free and cross-contamination safe. We do not handle any WADA-prohibited substance in our facility. The 30 mg caffeine is well below any competition limit.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can women use it?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Every performance system \u2014 oxygen delivery, creatine, buffering, Krebs cycle cofactors, adaptogens \u2014 works identically in women. The hormonal support complex supports healthy hormone synthesis within normal physiological ranges. Not intended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why is the caffeine dose so low?<\/summary>\n<p>Because stimulation is not the goal. 30 mg provides the glycogen-sparing and alertness signal and the classic caffeine\u2013taurine\u2013glucuronolactone synergy without heart-rate elevation \u2014 which would work against the lower-heart-rate benefit of nitrate and Rhodiola \u2014 and without disrupting sleep after evening sessions. Add your own caffeine on race day if you want more.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does it contain anything that could cause a positive test or side effects?<\/summary>\n<p>No banned substances. Beta-alanine at 250 mg is far below the tingling (paraesthesia) threshold. Niacin at 70 mg NE may cause a mild, harmless warm flush in sensitive individuals for 15\u201320 minutes \u2014 a sign of vasodilation.
