The Facts Don't Lie

Many pre-workout concentrates do not disclose the ingredient amounts in their formulas, so we tested their formulas and discovered that they're underdosed when it comes to the latest scientific research – and we have the third-party lab tests to back it up.

NeuroCore		Competitor #1	Competitor #2	What You Should Know
Ingredient Amounts Fully Disclosed	YES	NO	NO	Unlike the competitors who do not disclose the ingredient amounts in their formulas, NeuroCore is different. The doses of its clinically validated and scientifically tested ingredients are fully disclosed so you know exactly what you are getting.
L-Citrulline	3000mg	ZERO	ZERO	A recent study on nitric oxide metabolism shows that L-citrulline is scientifically superior to arginine for increasing plasma levels of arginine.1 Other companies may settle for using arginine instead because pure L-citrulline costs significantly more.
Arginine AKG	NO	YES (Amount Not Disclosed)	YES (Amount Not Disclosed)	A research study showed you need 12 grams of arginine AKG (AAKG) to provide performance-enhancing effects.2 A placebo-controlled, crossover-design study on subjects with resistance-training experience showed that arginine AKG (AAKG) provided no positive performance effects and may actually be counterproductive in developing muscular endurance. In this study, when subjects took 3.7 grams of arginine AKG at 4 hours and at 30 minutes before exercise they experienced no performance enhancement effects and actually performed worse on specific muscular endurance measurements compared to when they used a placebo.3 Our lab tests revealed extremely underdosed amounts of AAKG in competitors' formulas.
Beta-Alanine	3200mg	YES (Amount Not Disclosed)	YES (Amount Not Disclosed)	Research has shown that a 3200mg dose of beta-alanine can help enhance the muscle- and strength-building process.4 Fact is, our tests show other companies use less than the scientifically studied 3200mg dose.
Creatine HCl	3000mg	ZERO	ZERO	NeuroCore contains creatine hydrochloride (HCl), a unique form of creatine. 3000mg daily is the minimum concentrated dose necessary to enhance muscle growth. The companies that do use this compound have added amounts below the scientifically supported amount.
Geranium Robertianum	YES (Patent Pending)	NO	NO	NeuroCore is the only pre-workout formula to contain this exclusive, patent-pending and naturally sourced geranium extract.
Geranium Active Dose	STRONGEST	STRONG	MODERATE	NeuroCore delivers a greater active dose of geranium than the leading competitors for a powerful boost during your workout.
Caffeine Anhydrous	YES	YES	WEAKER DOSE	NeuroCore delivers a potent and effective dose of caffeine that has been scientifically shown to increase energy.5
Rhodiola	YES	NO	NO	In a double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled study on 20 subjects, individuals using rhodiola during a stressful period significantly improved physical and mental fitness compared to subjects using a placebo in only 20 days.6 In a 2005 review article published in the journal Phytotherapy Research, the authors noted that Rhodiola rosea was a superior, more active adaptogen than Schizandra chinensis (found in the formulas of both leading competitors).7
Schizandrol	NO	YES	YES	The competitors choose to use an inferior adaptogen (schizandrol) even when leading research states that Rhodiola rosea is a more active form.7
Vinpocetine	YES	NO	NO	Inhibits a cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase; it's believed that this inhibition enhances cyclic GMP levels in vascular smooth muscle.
DMAE	YES	NO	NO	DMAE may act to facilitate choline production. Choline is a precursor of acetylcholine.
Taste	SUPERIOR	GOOD	AVERAGE	The flavor system behind NeuroCore was developed by a world-class flavor house and is second to none. In fact, we did not stop perfecting the flavor system until we blew the competition away in internal head-to-head taste tests. Absolutely NO fillers and aspartame are used to create the amazing and refreshing taste.

How much research went into the creation of NeuroCore?

An extreme amount. NeuroCore has been in development for well over 18 months. In fact, we invented new extraction processes for this formula just so we could ensure ingredient purity! We completed painstaking research and development, countless testing and reformulation, product refinements and internal sensory and beta testing to ensure that NeuroCore would be the most powerful super-concentrated pre-workout performance-enhancing stimulant available.

Why does NeuroCore come with a guarantee?

Because that's how confident we are that you're going to love new NeuroCore. Every dose delivers the exact amount of active dose scientifically shown to deliver energy, focus, increased muscle and strength.

Can I stack NeuroCore with other stimulants?

Absolutely not. NeuroCore is an extremely powerful performance-enhancing stimulant and should never be taken with any other stimulant-based products.

How do I take NeuroCore?

As always, read the label carefully and follow the directions. Shake container thoroughly before use. Due to extreme potency, it's highly recommended to assess tolerance by using a 1-scoop serving before consuming a full dose, especially if you are sensitive to stimulants. Mix 1 serving (1 scoop) with 3-4 ounces of cold water and consume 30-45 minutes before activity. Once you have assessed your tolerance increase the dose to 3 servings (3 scoops) mixed in 12 ounces of water. Do not exceed 3 scoops in a 24-hour period. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily for general good health.
