RESEARCH REVIEW:

Creatine:

• Increased Muscle Strength and Performance: A meta-analysis found that individuals who supplemented with creatine during resistance training experienced greater gains in maximal strength compared to those who took a placebo. Specifically, there was an average increase of 4.43 kg in upper-body strength and 11.35 kg in lower-body strength (1,2).

• Enhanced Muscle Fiber Growth: Research has shown that creatine supplementation leads to a significant increase in the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers, contributing to muscle hypertrophy and improved strength. (2)

• Muscle Recovery and Injury Prevention**: There's evidence that creatine can enhance post-exercise recovery, reduce the risk of injuries, and aid in thermoregulation (2,3).

Beta-Alanine:

• Delays Muscle Fatigue, Improving Workout Intensity and Duration - Improves exercise capacity and performance in high-intensity tasks lasting between 1 to 4 minutes. The study showed a significant increase in total work done during high-intensity exercise and delayed onset of neuromuscular fatigue (4). 

• Beta-alanine supplementation resulted in a significant increase in muscle carnosine content, which is known to buffer hydrogen ions in muscle cells, thus delaying fatigue during high-intensity exercise (5). 

• Works Synergistically with Creatine for Optimal Strength Gains: this combination had additive effects on strength, lean body mass, and the ability to perform more repetitions (6)

• 28 days of beta-alanine and creatine supplementation significantly increases muscle carnosine levels, body composition, and exercise performance (7)

Magnesium:

• Essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions as a cofactor and, directly impacts DNA and RNA synthesis, energy metabolism, and the regulation of muscle contractions and nerve transmissions (8,9)

• Promotes hydration, recovery, and overall energy production: magnesium status influences fluid balance, particularly under conditions of physical stress, and is crucial for ATP  synthesis, thereby affecting energy production (10).

Adaptogens and nootropics:

• Enhance mental clarity, focus, and stress management: effectively enhance attention, mental endurance, and stress resistance, Rhodiola rosea proves effective on cognitive function under stress (11).

• Nootropics show improvements in cognitive function, specifically memory and mental clarity (12)

• Support long-term cognitive health and resilience: long-term effects of adaptogens like Rhodiola and Shisandra show they protect against stress-induced cognitive decline (13).

• Nootropics work to enhance cognitive functions, including memory and protection against cognitive decline (14).

Honey

• Natural Energy Boost: Honey’s mix of glucose and fructose provides quick, sustained energy—perfect for high-intensity bursts in wrestling and grappling. (15,16,19)

• Faster Recovery: Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help reduce soreness and speed up recovery after intense training. (17,18,19)

• Stronger Immunity: Regular honey intake supports immune health, keeping athletes in peak condition during tough training cycles. (18)
