Condemned Labs and upstart Fresh Supps have teamed up to launch a new pre-workout called Fresh Out in two flavors. Locked Up Lemon Iced Tea and Orange Cream Sicko are from the collective minds of the teams at Condemned Labs and Fresh Supps.
Condemned Labs has been around for quite some time. The brand has made a lot of quality supplements, including several pre-workouts, that are seemingly always formulated well and hard-hitting.
Fresh Supps is a newer brand that is making a splash in the industry with solid formulas and great flavors.
While many companies look to collaborate outside the industry, this one happens to be between two competitors who are coming together for something great.
Condemned Labs X Fresh Supps Fresh Out Pre-Workout Supplement Facts Panel
It’s fun when two brands come together to create something special. Their collective formulators can sit at the same table and try to create something that is going to work on multiple levels with the consumer in-mind.
Condemned Labs and Fresh Supps created something that was consumer first driven in two great flavors.
L-Citrulline – 6,000mg
At this point L-Citrulline has become one of the most popular blood flow agents in the space. Citrulline is the precursor to arginine. Arginine inside the body improves nitric oxide production and thus leads to a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow.
We like to see Citrulline at a minimum of 4g. The 6g dosage used in this collaboration is solid.
Beta-Alanine – 3,200mg
Beta-Alanine is the ingredient that gives you the tingles. Consumers love this. They feel like this improves their performance in the gym. Beta-Alanine can improve your performance but it isn’t because it makes you tingle. The function of Beta-Alanine is that it can buffer lactic acid and help improve exercise performance and endurance. It can combat fatigue and allow you to work out longer as well as potentially alleviate delayed onset muscle soreness.
The industry standard is 3,200mg.
HydroPrime Glycerol – 2,000mg
HydroPrime is a patent form of glycerol. Glycerol aids the muscle in holding water in the cells for muscular hydration as well as aid in improving the “pump.” The better hydrated the cells in the muscle the more you can output during your exercise. It also aids in recovery after you tear those muscle fibers.
Betaine Anhydrous – 2,000mg
Betaine Anhydrous is a proven ingredient that has been shown to improve/increase performance in the gym through increased strength and output.
The 2,000mg dosage is solid.
Pink Himalayan Salt – 500mg
Not a game changing ingredient, per se, but Pink Himalayan Salt can aid in overall hydration. Salt in any pre-workout can aid in endurance, output and potential pumps.
The 500mg dosage is the standard.
CDP-Choline – 250mg
The primary benefits of CDO-Choline is the ability to help improve focus, attention and memory. Multiple studies have been conducted on various population of people, even those with brain health issues that showed supplementing with at least 250mg of CDP-Choline improved their conditions and overall memory, attention and focus.
The 250mg dosage is sufficient.
Taurine – 1,000mg
With Taurine being very abundant in our bodies it will also hold a very abundant number of benefits of why to put it into a pre-workout. Taurine may lead to increased stamina & endurance, increased muscle contraction, and promoting cognitive function just to name a few. With the suggested use of Taurine in pre-workout to be between 1,000mg – 2,000mg in pre-workouts this delivers 1,000mg.
Tyrosine – 1,000mg
L-Tyrosine an non-essential amino acid, an essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. This can lead to help keeping your focus up in the weight room. The primary benefit is improved focus and cognition.
With dosages per day varied dependent on the weight of the user. The 1,000mg dosage is good for cognition.
Caffeine Anhydrous – 400mg
Caffeine Anhydrous is the fast acting caffeine that can start to take effect within 15 minutes. Caffeine can increase alertness, focus and overall exercise performance. This is a higher dosage of caffeine that beginners may want to start with a 1/2 serving to assess tollerance.
Pine Bark Extract – 200mg
Pine bark extract is derived from the bark of the maritime pine tree. Research suggests that pine bark extract may help support cardiovascular health in doses of around 100 to 200 milligrams by promoting healthy blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and improving the function of blood vessels. It may also help lower blood pressure and reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. All of this means it will improve blood flow and increase the pump.
The 200mg dosage is sufficient.
CognatiQ – 100mg
CognatiQ, formerly known as NeuroFactor, from FutuerCeuticals is a coffee fruit extract that has been shown to improve cognition and alertness. This is a stimulant free ingredient. CognatiQ has been clinically shown to boost BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor), increase brain connectivity, and improve daily, cognitive performance.
The 100mg dosage of CognatiQ is very good.
VitaShure Caffeine – 100mg
VitaShure Caffeine is a sustained release caffeine. It yields 60% caffeine so users are going to get 60mg of caffeine here plus the 400mg from caffeine anhydrous. This is a hard hitting pre-workout for sure, but the benefit here isn’t all more energy, but it can also aid in tapering off and preventing a crash from the caffeine anhydrous.
Advantra-Z Bitter Orange – 100mg
Commonly known labeled as Bitter Orange Extract or citrus aurantium, Advantra Z is much more. Being a patented and high studied form of these ingredients, it makes the absorbability of these extracts next level. This naturally occurring extract can help increase our metabolic burn off while also giving us more energy without increasing our blood pressure or heart rate.
With a varied recommended dosing to be used of Advantra Z can find it ranging between 50-200mg.
AstraGin – 50mg
AstraGin from Nuliv Science is added to aid in absorption of the active ingredients.
The new collaboration between Condemned Labs and Fresh Supps is a hard hitting, higher stimulant pre-workout with concentration of cognition, blood flow, performance, energy and output. The two flavors are Locked Up Lemon Ice Tea and Orange Cream Sicko.
