Mutan Mind Fk Pre-Workout: Pump, Performance, and Focus

Mutant Mind Fk Pre-Workout Supplement Facts

Mutant makes several pre-workout supplements, but on paper, Mind Fk might be their very best. Featuring a fully transparent label with key ingredient selection on optimal doses, makes Mind Fk more than just a clever name of a pre-workout. The formula was designed to improve performance, blood flow and focus. 

Each container, regardless of flavor, features 20-servings.

Citrulline – 4g

A common trend in sports nutrition among brands is to see who can put the most Citrulline in their pre-workout powder. Mutant elected to go with 4g of pure L-Citrulline. Research shows that 4-6g of Citrulline is more than enough to improve blood flow.

Citrulline works by converting to Arginine in the body which will then increase NO2 to improve blood flow. The 4g dosage is more than adequate for this.

Beta-Alanine – 3.2g

Beta-Alanine is known for its ability to create Paresthesia, the itchy feeling of the skin. It is very important to know that Beta-Alanine has much more use than that (there’s no benefit to the “itchy” feeling although some claim they like that feeling because they can “feel” it). Where Beta-Alanine excels is at buffering lactic acid and prolonging muscular endurance. The typical dosage is 3.2g-6.4g of Beta-Alanine to see any benefits. Much like Creatine, Beta-Alanine needs to be consumed daily.

TyroPure Tyrosine – 3g

Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that has gained a lot of popularity for its positive impact on cognition. Tyrosine plays a crucial role in the production of several important neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

The 3g dosage Mutant gives us in Mind Fk is quite large compared to the typical 1-2g dosage we see in other pre-workouts.

Taurine – 3g

Another ingredient at a larger than normal dosage is Taurine. Taurine supplementation may lead to improved strength and power output as well as better endurance. Taurine can aid in regulating electrolytes keeping your body properly hydrated and performing at optimal levels. It may help reduce muscle fatigue, improve endurance, and support muscle growth and repair.

We typically see this dosed at 1-2g (similar to Tyrosine). The 3g dosage used in Mutant Mind Fk is solid.

Nitrosigine – 1.5g

Nitrosigine is a patent blend of inositol and arginine from Nutrition 21. By stabilizing arginine with inositol, Nutrition 21’s Nitrosigine has better bioavailability thus getting into the system and actually increasing NO2 and blood flow. Studies on 1.5g of Nitrosigine has shown it to perform just as well as 8g Citrulline Malate (blend of Citrulline and Malic Acid). If you don’t like the 4g dosage of Citrulline, understand by combining both Citrulline and Nitrosigine you are essentially getting the benefits of 8g Citrulline Malate + 4g pure Citrulline.

Nirosigine as also been shown to improve cognition as well as cardiovascular endurance. 

The 1.5g dosage is the clinically accepted dosage of Nitrosigine.

VitaCholine Choline Bitartrate – 700mg

VitaCholine is a branded form of Choline Bitartrate from Balchem. Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which plays a critical role in memory, mood regulation, and muscle control. Some evidence suggests that choline supplementation may have mood-enhancing effects and help reduce stress.

Research has shown that nearly 90% of the population is deficient in choline from diet alone. Supplementing with choline, specifically pre-workout, can improve the focus, clarity and mind-muscle connection.

Alpha-GPC – 300mg

Alpha-GPC, another form of choline, is dosed at 300mg. We typically like to see 600mg Alpha-GPC (yields 50% choline) but with the addition of 3g Tyrosine, 700mg Choline Bitartrate and Huperzine A (later), the 300mg dosage of Alpha-GPC will be adequate for improving focus and clarity. Alpha-GPC is one of the most efficient choline sources available as a supplement.

Typical dosage is 300-600mg. 

Aquamin – 500mg

Aquamin is a form of algae used to improve hydration, and in this formula, aid in your pumps. The 500mg dosage is a typical dosage that we see in dietary supplements. Aquamin is a highly bioavailable source of calcium, which is key to bone health and muscle function as well.

Inositol (as Nitrosigine) – 385mg

See Nitrosigine section.

enfinity Paraxanthine – 200mg

Paraxanthine, branded as enfinity, is a metabolite of caffeine (meaning when caffeine is consumed it is broken down into Paraxanthine, Theobromine and Theophylline – primarily) providing the benefits of caffeine without the negative side effects. This is a newer ingredient that was first controlled by another Canadian brand. Mutant elected to use Paraxanthine instead of caffeine to compliment their use of nootropics. Paraxanthine also has stimulatory effects like caffeine, although they are generally considered to be milder than those of caffeine.

Another great feature of Paraxanthine is it  has a longer half-life than caffeine, meaning it remains in the body for a longer period of time after caffeine consumption. One thing many people complain about caffeine is the crash you can get from it.

The 200mg dosage of Paraxanthine is a good dosage. 

VasoFactor – 120mg

VasoFactor is a branded version of a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract. Green Coffee Extract yields 50% Chlorogenic Acid. Chlorogenic Acid has many healthy benefits, but for the purpose of a pre-workout it can help lower blood pressure and increase blood flow. Some research shows that it may aid in blood glucose levels as well and may help with weight loss.

Huperzine A – 6mg (60mcg)

Huperzine A is known for its ability to inhibit the activity of an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, Huperzine A can help improve levels of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is key for learning and memory function. 

Dosages typically range from 50 to 200 micrograms per day.

BioPerine – 5.3mg

BioPerine is a black pepper extract that is used in supplements to increase the absorption of ingredients.
