Premium sports nutrition brands are at an all-time high some might say. More and more fully efficacious products are hitting the market for consumers to buy. One of the brands that was leading the charge in this area was Apollon Nutrition. Apollon Nutrition never pulled back on dosages. In fact, one could argue that their cost of goods sold is near the top in the industry.
Apollon Nutrition puts their best foot forward on formulations in every major sports nutrition category. One category that picked up popularity post-COVID was the gaming and nootropic space. Not only do these dietary supplements appeal to gamers as it may help improve their gameplay, they are also appealing to those who go into an office and work long, tedious days filled with a lot of thought and processing.
Apollon Nutrition Universal Solider Overtime may not bode the name that resonates to a CEO of a company, but the formula sure does.
Apollon Nutrition Universal Solder Overtime Supplement Facts Panel
Apollon Nutrition’s Universal Soldier Overtime falls in the nootropic category, with positioning geared towards gamers and productivity workers. The formula is loaded on every aspect.
L-Tyrosine – 3g
Tyrosine is one of the more popular ingredients used in dietary supplements to help improve focus and memory. Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid made from phenylalanie. We typically see this dosed at 1g in pre-workouts, up to 2g in nootropics. We get 3g per serving in Apollon Nutrition Universal Soldier Overtime.
Acetyle-L-Carnitine – 1,500mg
Acetyl-L-Carnitine, also known as ALCAR, is the superior form of carnitine in that it can cross the blood-brain barrier and help improve cognition. A minimum of 1,500mg is what we’d like to see, which you get in this product.
nooLVL – 1.6g
nooLVL is a branded ingredient from Nutrition 21. nooLVL is Nitrosigine with the addition of Inositol. The dosage of this is meant to be at 1.6g. nooLVL was studied in gamers and when consumed it improved energy levels, blood flow, reaction time and increased overall game play.
Lion’s Mane – 1,000mg
Lion’s Mane is a mushroom, a very powerful one, that improves focus and concentration in humans. Lion’s Mane tends to be dosed at 500mg. It also is extremely hard to flavor. Lion’s Mane is one of our favorite ingredients here at FI.
Alpha-GPC – 600mg
Alpha-GPC is used at 600mg, which yields 300mg of active Alpha-GPC. Alpha-GPC is one of the most effective choline ingredients to help improve brain function. It has been shown to improve brain health conditions in the elderly, as well as improved performance in other subjects.
Bacopa Monnieri Extract (std. to 50% Bacosides) – 300mg
Bocopa is another very popular ingredient used for those who have neurological issues. It is an Indian medicine ingredient which serves as a memory enhancer. Multiple studies proved that this herb contains a plethora of potential bioactive, phytochemical compounds with synergistic properties. Typical dosage of Bocopa is around 300mg per day.
Rhodiola Rosea – 300mg
Rhodiola is a great ingredient to fight fatigue and brain fog. Rhodiola can be used to reduce stress, combat fatigue, increase mental performance and improve physical and mental fitness and resilience. Dosages can vary but the 300mg dosage in Universal Soldier Overtime is safe and effective for improving mental performance.
Grape Seed Extract – 300mg
Grape Seed Extract has been proven to help increase blood flow and help with cognitive impairment (and prevent them). Studies have proven that procyanidin aka Grape Seed Extract can could improve cognitive function and prevent neurodegenerative diseases. The 300mg dosage is safe and effective.
Uridine 5′-monophosphate – 250mg
Uridine promotes synthesis of brain phosphatidylcholine and helps to support cholinergic function. Studies have shown Uridine to help promote healthy sleep and improved brain function. At 250mg, users are getting a sufficient dosage.
Caffeine Anhydrous – 150mg
Caffeine Anhydrous is the fast acting caffeine found in most dietary supplements. This can improve alertness, energy levels and works well with other nootropic ingredients like Alpha-GPC
Di-Caffeine Malate – 100mg
Di-Caffeine Malate takes longer to get into the system compared to Caffeine Anhydrous but it also lasts longer. At 100mg that will yield approximately 74mg of active caffeine. This will help prolong energy and prevent crash.
CoffeeBerry – 100mg
Coffeeberry is the patented extract that delivers organic, non-GMO, native Caffeine (natural) and polyphenols from coffee cherries, not just the coffee bean.
Coffeeberry is made from carefully selected, hand-picked, premium Arabica coffee cherries. It delivers standardized levels of organic caffeine to the end user. The finished product contains 70% natural Caffeine. The remaining 30% is standardized to a 5% minimum of Polyphenols which contain antioxidants.
KannaEase – 50mg
KannaEase is a standardized herbal powder extract derived from a traditional South African ‘feel-good’ herb called Sceletium tortuosum. It us used to help reduce stress and anxiety. The 50mg dosage will be effective.
AstraGin – 50mg
AstraGin is dosed at the correct dosage of 50mg to help with absorption of ingredients.
Huperzine A – 200mcg
Most Huperzine is dosed at 100mcg, Apollon Nutrition doses theirs at a 200mcg dosage. Huperzone A works well with Alpha-GPC and caffeine to improve neurological functions including mental alertness and focus.
Final Takeaway
I have had the opportunity to use many nootropics over the years. This one is right up there as one of the best ever created. You may not love the taste, but it is not as bad as it probably should be given what they have in this. If you are struggling to stay focused at the office, or just need to be more productive, this is one you must try.
