In the sea of sports nutrition brands, many brands get lost under the shadow of large corporations and marketing budgets. These small brands are made-up of owners with a passion for changing the sports nutrition industry for the better. They want to create quality products that are beneficial to the consumer. They have a blatant disregard for profit margins. They want to make products that they themselves would take. Insert Mind Muscle Nutrition. A smaller brand, with three awesome products that is unknown to many of you. That is until now.
Mind Muscle Nutrition was founded in 2017 by Russell Brumbaugh. Russell wanted to create a brand that was different than the rest on the market. Hard to do with the way the market is saturated, but Russell seemed to find a nice niche by creating products that hit hard on focus and improving your overall workout performance.
We wanted to create a brand around the idea of Mind Muscle Connection, hence the name Mind Muscle Nutrition. We strive to create well-dosed products that are going to give you the best focus and motivation in the gym, we primarily focus on the workout aspect of supplementation, with our current three products. We have a Pre-Workout, Non-Stim Pre-workout, and a Intra-workout. Our idea of creating the best supplements possible that give you the mindset of destroying your workout along with aiding in the recovery process. Mind Muscle Connection is very important to us and we developed supplements that aid in achieving that mindset.
Mind Muscle Nutrition is much like Fitness Informant, that they take a no bullshit approach to supplementation.
We’re not here to play games with proprietary blends, we want YOU to know EXACTLY what you’re taking in order to crush your goals. Honestly, you’ll find no bullsh*t here, what’s on our label is precisely what’s in our products- can’t you tell we’re sick of under dosed, high cost products? Sure, you can get a decent workout with most products, but we promise that ours will not only take to the next level, but also be able to get you over that plateau you’ve been cursing at day in and day out.
Currently, Mind Muscle Nutrition has three well-dosed products. A stim-based pre-workout, a non-stim pump and an intra-workout, all designed towards the mind and muscle connection.
M2 Pre-Workout
The M2 Pre-Workout is a 30-serving pre-workout with 15 active ingredients making up a serving size of 20g. This is a massive pre-workout that is not cheap to make. The pre-workout features some strong stimulants like 150mg Caffeine Anhydrous, 50mg Caffeine Citrate, 100mg 2-Aminoisoheptane (more commonly known as DMHA), 250mg Eria Jarensis, 100mg TeaCrine, 50mg Synephrine and 2.5mg Alpha Yohimbe. The combination of these ingredients alone will provide increased energy.
Regarding focus, they seem to nail it here as well. In addition to the 250mg Eria Jarensis we just spoke about (one of our favorite stims), they include 1,500mg L-Tyrosine, 500mg Choline Bitartrate and 50mcg of Huperzine A.
Beyond energy and focus, you also get some nice pump components and strength producing ingredients. You get 6g of Citrulline Malate and 2g of Glycerol. We also get the nice addition of 4g Beta-Alanine and 2g Taurine for strength and endurance.
On paper, the M2 Pre-Workout looks to be as solid as some of the better pre-workouts on the market.
M2 Non-Stim Pump
The M2 Non-Stim Pump could also act as a nice non-stim pre-workout. The product features some really nice nootropic ingredients for focus and proven pump inducing ingredients for that pump. For focus, we get a hefty dose of Noopept at 50mg, one of the highest dosages of Noopept I have seen in a product. L-Tyrosine is also used at 1,500mg. Collectively you should get a nice cognitive enhancements.
The product gives us four ingredients designed to improve the pump. We get 6g Citrulline Malate for blood flow. We also get 1,000mg of Nitrosigine for NO production. Along with that they toss in 300mg of Vaso6, similar to Nitrosigine to provide some really muscle swelling pumps. Agmatine Sulfate is also used at 750mg. Collectively, these should provide an increase in nitric oxide and blood flow.
Lastly, for good measure, we get 4g of Beta-Alanine. This helps with endurance. The longer you can go, the more blood can flow. Remember that.
Hydra Focus
Hydra Focus is going to be the intra-workout supplement from M2 Nutrition. This product features the proven 2:1:1 BCAA ratio providing 7g of BCAA. We also get other EAAs to provide a full spectrum to help increase the impact of the BCAAs.
For focus, as you’d expect that to be a component given the name, we get 1,000mg of N Acetyl L Tyrosine and 500mg of Choline Bitartrate. This is a nice bump in cognitive enhancement while you’re lifting.
They also provide you with more blood flow ingredients with 4g of Citrulline Malate. Glutamine is used at 2,500mg. Although Glutamine isn’t used as much anymore for muscle recovery, it has some great uses in gut health and digestion, which is always beneficial.
Overall, you can see this is another supplement with that Mind Muscle connection.
Future Products
With three really solid products on the market today, it begged us to ask what is next. The answer we received delighted us:
We are currently working on a product that you can take every day to deal with stress, regulate digestion, and help with getting adequate vitamins and minerals in your diet. We are currently testing the product and we can say that this is going to be a huge hit since digestion and hormonal regulation is an overlooked aspect of your healthy lifestyle and achieving the physique you want.
With digestive health being largely ignored but so important, it is nice to see this brand look at that as an area to expand. Given their name, I have to imagine this daily supplement will also feature nootropics or some cognitive enhancing ingredients.
Final Takeaway
Brands like Mind Muscle Nutrition make me smile. Why? Because they give a shit. It is nice to see brands innovate based on results versus their checkbook. I understand you have to also make money, but when you have a consumer first mentality, you can win. Mind Muscle Nutrition doesn’t have a massive marketing budget, so my goal is to shed some much needed light on this brand with quality products and a reputable owner.
