MuscleSport Rhino Sport Pre-Workout: Advanced Beginners Pre-Workout

MuscleSport Rhino Sport Supplement Facts

Many brands have launched a “sport” version of their pre-workout. This can be code for “cheap” or ” underdosed.” That is not the case with MuscleSport’s Rhino Sport pre-workout. The brand wanted to make an affordable option that tasted great, but they did not want it to be underdosed. You could argue that this is an advanced beginners pre-workout, but seasoned gym goers can use it too.

MuscleSport Rhino Sport pre-workout is a stimulant based pre-workout for all skill levels. It features ingredients designed to improve performance, function, pump and focus.

L-Citrulline – 8,000mg

At this point L-citrulline has become the king of pump ingredients. It is converted into arginine in the body which triggers nitric oxide. The result is more blood flow into the muscles to improve the pump and muscular performance.

Unlike some other “sport” pre-workouts, MuscleSport Rhino Sport gives us plenty of citrulline above the 3-5g starting dosage.

VasoDrive-AP – 508mg

VasoDrive-AP is a casein protein derivative that aids in relaxing the blood vessels. This is a vasodilator. By relaxing the vessels, more blood flow can travel to the muscles. This aids in performance and recovery. In normal “sport” pre-workouts we’d expect to see 1/2 this dosage, but MuscleSport gives us the full 508mg clinical dosage.

Taurine – 500mg

Taurine can aid in the pump by regulating cellular hydration and fluid balance through electrolyte regulation. Taurine interacts well with electrolytes to ensure the body stays properly hydrated during strenuous workouts.

L-Ornithine HCl – 375mg

Ornithine is a great ingredient for recovery and increasing performance, especially when combined with arginine. Albeit there is not arginine in this formula, but citrulline converts to arginine. The combination of the two decreases ammonia, a waste product that increases during intense training, which can prevent fatigue therefore improving performance. 

S7 – 25mg

S7 is a plant-based ingredient from FutureCeauticals. Company backed research shows that S7 drastically improves nitric oxide levels. This leads to better flow blow through trigger the nitric oxide pathway. S7 is also a vasodilator which allows more blood to flow into the muscles. We’d like to see a minimum of 50mg, but the formula already includes VasoDrive-AP at 508mg.

Beta-Alanine – 3,200mg

Beta-alanine is one of the most popular and common pre-workout ingredients. It causes the feeling of tingles, or paresthesia, in users. That is not the benefit of beta-alanine. The benefit comes from buffering lactic acid which leads to improved muscular endurance. The 3,200mg dosage is what we want to see.

Betapower Betaine Anhydrous – 1,250mg

Betaine anhydrous has been shown to improve strength and power output. We typically like to see this around 2,500mg. Betaine anhydrous improves cellular hydration for enhanced muscle performance. 

Creatine MagnaPower – 1,000mg

Creatine MagnaPower is creatine magnesium chelate. Creatine magnesium chelate is a form of creatine where creatine is bound (chelated) to magnesium. The thought here is that they work together to improve ATP. This is the fuel source for the body. This can lead to improved performance. 

Himalayan Pink Salt – 200mg

Sodium is essential for cellular hydration. This, in turns, leads to better hydration and better muscle contractions. The better the muscle contractions, the better the chance muscle gains are made and overall improvements happen. 

L-Tyrosine – 1,500mg

Tyrosine can aid in improving dopamine levels in the body. Dopamine is the reward hormone that is known as a “feel-good” chemical, it regulates pleasure, motivation, memory and mood. Tyrosine can lead to improved focus. The 1,500mg dosage is solid. 

Caffeine – 300mg

Caffeine is dosed at 300mg combining two sources of caffeine. It combines caffeine anhydrous, the synthetic form of caffeine that works within 10-15 minutes, and Infinergy dicaffeine malate. Dicaffeine malate is a slower acting caffeine source that lasts longer. The combination of the two makes for longer lasting “energy” without the potential crash some users get from caffeine. 

Vita Choline Complex – 250mg

The Vita Choline Complex consists of choline bitartrate, Vitacholine and CDP choline. The combination of these sources can help improve overall focus and mood.

CocoaRush Theobromine – 100mg

Theobromine can aid in improving performance and focus. This is a metabolite of caffeine known to increase body temperature and improve alertness and focus. It can also reduce the feeling of fatigue. The 100mg dosage is the accepted dosage of this ingredient.
