🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Citicoline (CDP-Choline)

Source: A highly bioavailable choline donor used to support cognitive performance, focus, and long term brain health.

🔑 Key Benefits

• Supports focus, memory, and cognition
• Increases acetylcholine production
• Supports brain cell membrane integrity
• May support dopamine signalling
• Commonly used in nootropic and focus formulas

🧬 What Is Citicoline?

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is a compound made from choline + cytidine. Once absorbed, cytidine converts into uridine, which plays a major role in brain cell repair, phospholipid synthesis, and neuronal health.

Unlike fast acting stimulants, Citicoline is often viewed as more of a foundational cognitive support ingredient.

⚙️ How It Works

Citicoline primarily works by increasing acetylcholine, one of the brain’s most important neurotransmitters for:

• Focus
• Learning
• Memory
• Cognitive processing

It also supports production of phosphatidylcholine, a key structural component of brain cell membranes.

Research suggests Citicoline may additionally support:

• Dopamine receptor density
• Brain energy metabolism
• Long term cognitive resilience

📏 Optimal Dosage

Typical doses range from:
250-500mg daily for cognitive support
500-1000mg+ in advanced nootropic formulas

Just a quick review of the new Focusmax RTD cans by Strom, and I actually really like the approach with this one.

No fillers, just 5 ingredients that each have a clear purpose:

120mg Natural Caffeine for smooth energy.

250mg Citicoline for focus and mental clarity.

200mg Uridine Monophosphate for cognitive support and mood

1g L-Tyrosine for dopamine/adrenaline support under stress.

25mg Senactiv® for recovery.

Lightly carbonated too, so you don't get that bloated feeling that some drinks give you.

Personally, I think this hits a really nice balance between energy, mood elevation, focus and mental resilience.

And with the weather we're having at the moment, I can actually see this replacing coffee for a lot of people.

For now, I have the Pineapple Coconut 🍍🥥 

For later... I'm going to take the p**s 🌈😂

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Lemon Balm

Source: A traditional herb derived from Melissa officinalis, commonly used for relaxation, sleep support, and nervous system balance.

🔑 Key Benefits

• Supports relaxation and calmness

• May reduce stress and anxiety

• Supports sleep quality and recovery

• May improve mood and cognitive performance

• Supports nervous system balance

🧬 What Is Lemon Balm?

Lemon Balm is a member of the mint family and has been used for centuries to support mood, relaxation, digestion, and sleep. Its main active compounds include rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and various volatile oils.

⚙️ How It Works

Lemon Balm appears to influence the GABA system, the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter pathway.

Research suggests it may:

• Reduce breakdown of GABA by influencing GABA-transaminase

• Promote a calmer nervous system state

• Help reduce feelings of stress and overstimulation

Unlike strong sedatives, Lemon Balm is often described as promoting a calm but functional state, which is why it appears in both sleep and stress support formulas.

📏 Optimal Dosage

Typical doses range from:

• 300-600mg for relaxation and stress support

• 600-1200mg+ in sleep focused formulas

Effects may become more noticeable when combined with other calming ingredients.

One thing I hear quite a lot is that TRT “makes men more sociable”.

Personally, I don’t think it’s that simple.

Idon’t think testosterone suddenly changes your personality or turns introverts into extroverts.

What I think it can do is remove some of the obstacles that stop you from being yourself.

If low testosterone has been affecting mood, confidence, energy, motivation, or emotional stability, then restoring healthy levels may allow more of the real person to come through again.

For some men, that may look like becoming more sociable, but for others, it may simply mean feeling more comfortable in their own skin, more emotionally stable, and more confident setting boundaries.

TRT shouldn’t turn you into somebody else, it should help you feel more like yourself again.

One thing I’ve said before about high stim pre workouts is that they shouldn’t become your daily baseline.

Honestly, I think the same mindset applies to strong sleep formulas too, especially the melatonin heavy ones.

A lot of products contain melatonin in milligram doses, even though the body naturally produces it in much smaller amounts.

That doesn’t automatically make high dose products “bad”, but personally, I think stronger sleep aids make more sense when used strategically, either occasionally, or at a much lower dose than the full serving.

Right... I finally did it 👀

Per4m Whey Tikka Masala and Thai Green Curry taste test!

Honestly, the Thai Green Curry was actually FAR more bearable than expected.

The Tikka Masala on the other hand...

Right, here’s the problem:

These probably would work really well as high-protein curry seasoning mixes. Mixed into food, they would be great, but as an actual shake?

Who in their right mind nails a jar of Patak’s curry sauce as a shot?

Absolutely unacceptable behaviour 😂

How do Tikka Masala and Thai Green Curry find their way into protein powder before Black Forest Gateaux and Chocolate Honeycomb though? 🤔

We’ve just had 3 new flavours of Applied Nutrition Liquid L-Carnitine land in store, bringing the total up to 6.

If you’ve never used L-Carnitine before, here’s the simple version:

It helps transport fatty acids into the part of the cell where energy is produced. So it’s not directly “burning fat, but it is helping your body use fat as a fuel source more efficiently.

You’ve also got added green tea extract for mild metabolic support, and vitamin C for overall health and recovery.

This is one of those supplements that works best when everything else is already in place consistently.

Hello, something informal from us for a change! Just thought we would let you all know about the recent price surge of Whey Protein Concentrate and Isolate in Europe, especially since the turn of the year.

It’s due to numerous global factors, the politics of which I won’t bore you with, but strap yourself in for this one it’s not going to get any better until Quarter 4 this year, and even then it’s only going to be a slight relief of

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: PegaPump™

Source: A standardised extract of Peganum harmala (Syrian Rue), used in performance formulas for its potential effects on blood flow and neurotransmitter activity.

🔑 Key Benefits

• May support blood flow and pump
• Interacts with serotonin and monoamine pathways
• May enhance mood and mental drive
• Often included in pump or focus-based formulas
• Works synergistically with stimulants and nootropics

🧬 What Is PegaPump™?

PegaPump™ is derived from Peganum harmala, a plant known to contain beta-carboline alkaloids such as harmine, harmaline, and harmalol.

These compounds are biologically active and have been studied for their effects on neurotransmitters and enzyme systems, particularly those involved in mood and cognition.

⚙️ How It Works

The primary mechanism comes from reversible inhibition of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A).

This enzyme normally breaks down neurotransmitters like:

• Serotonin
• Dopamine
• Norepinephrine

By slowing this breakdown, PegaPump™ may:

• Prolong neurotransmitter activity
• Enhance mood and focus
• Potentially amplify the effects of other ingredients

Some early data and anecdotal use suggest vasodilation and pump effects, but this is likely indirect rather than nitrate based. It is not a meaningful nitrate source.

📏 Dosage & Considerations

Typical inclusion doses are very low (microgram range), as seen on labels.

At these levels:

• Effects are usually subtle and supportive
• Higher doses (outside supplement use) are where stronger MAO-A effects occur

⚠️ Important Note

Because of its MAO-A activity, caution is advised when combined with:

• SSRIs or other antidepressants
• Stimulants or serotonergic compounds

This is not a primary pump ingredient like citrulline, it’s more of a modulator within the formula.

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Saw Palmetto

Source: A lipid-rich extract from the berries of Serenoa repens, traditionally used for male health and hormone support.

🔑 Key Benefits

• Supports healthy prostate size and function
• Helps regulate DHT via 5-alpha reductase inhibition
• May support hair retention in DHT-sensitive individuals
• Improves urinary flow and reduces frequency
• Supports hormonal balance in men

🧬 What Is Saw Palmetto?

Saw Palmetto is one of the most widely used natural compounds for prostate and androgen health. It contains fatty acids and phytosterols that interact directly with androgen pathways, particularly DHT.

It’s commonly used in both prostate support formulas and hair loss products due to its effect on androgen metabolism.

⚙️ How It Works

Saw Palmetto primarily works by inhibiting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

DHT is a more potent androgen linked to:

• Prostate enlargement (BPH)

• Hair follicle miniaturisation

By reducing this conversion, Saw Palmetto may:

• Lower DHT activity in target tissues

• Reduce prostate pressure and urinary symptoms

• Help slow hair loss in genetically sensitive individuals

It may also have anti-inflammatory effects within prostate tissue.

📏 Optimal Dosage

Typical effective dose: 320 mg per day of a standardised extract (usually 85-95% fatty acids).

Often taken once daily or split into two doses. Best taken consistently with food for absorption.
