| Content | Dark Labs brings a formidable pre-workout supplement to the market with their latest creation, “Crack”. This product is designed for athletes and gym-goers looking for an extraordinary workout intensity and endurance boost. “Crack” promises to deliver a potent combination of energy, pump, and focus without including flavour profiles.
- L-Citrulline: As a precursor to L-arginine and nitric oxide, L-Citrulline is paramount in promoting vasodilation. This results in broader blood vessels, allowing for a more significant blood flow rate. More blood flow translates to more nutrients and oxygen being delivered to the muscles, which boosts performance and aids in recovery and muscle growth. The dosage of L-Citrulline in “Crack” is substantial, aiming to ensure that users experience a noticeable improvement in muscle pumps and endurance.
- Beta-Alanine: When ingested, beta-alanine converts to carnosine, an intracellular buffer. It helps stabilize the pH level within cells by buffering hydrogen ions that accumulate during intense physical activity. This buffering capacity can delay the onset of muscular fatigue and failure, which is critical for those looking to increase their workout volume or intensity.
- Arginine Sulfate: This is a more immediate precursor to nitric oxide production than L-Citrulline. The presence of arginine in the bloodstream can directly lead to nitric oxide production, enhancing the ‘pump’ and possibly improving peak athletic performance.
- Augments Sulfate: This decarboxylated form of arginine is believed to have various mechanisms of action, including acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, and it has been suggested to support cognitive health. It also inhibits nitric oxide synthase enzymes, which could increase nitric oxide levels, enhancing muscle pumps during workouts.
- Caffeine Anhydrous: This dehydrated form of caffeine provides a potent, rapid influx of energy. It stimulates the central nervous system, heightening alertness and focus. Antagonizing adenosine receptors can reduce the feeling of fatigue. As a metabolic enhancer, it increases the rate of fatty acid oxidation, which can benefit endurance athletes and those aiming to reduce body fat.
- N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine Citrate: This ingredient, known for its mood-enhancing properties, is often touted for its ability to increase the release of dopamine and norepinexxrine, neurotransmitters that can create a feeling of euphoria and increased concentration. It’s thought to offer a similar, though less intense, effect as the now-banned DMAA.
- 2-Aminoisoheptane: This stimulant, also known as DMHA, is prized for its ability to increase energy levels and focus. It provides a similar effect to DMAA, though generally considered a milder alternative. Its bronchodilatory effect can be particularly beneficial during cardiovascular exercises, as it may help enhance the airway’s capacity, allowing for more efficient breathing.
- L-Norvaline: This compound has been included in inhibiting arginase, an enzyme that breaks down arginine, the amino acid directly responsible for nitric oxide production. By inhibiting arginase, L-Norvaline allows for higher arginine levels and nitric oxide, leading to more extended periods of muscle pumps.
- Caffeine Citrate: This is a combination of caffeine and citric acid, which accelerates the absorption of caffeine, providing a quicker onset of effects. Including caffeine and citrate means that the stimulatory impact of the pre-workout can be felt almost immediately after ingestion.
- Dicaffeine Malate: The malate or malic acid in dicaffeine malate acts as a buffer, slowing down the digestion of caffeine and thereby prolonging its effects. This means that the energy boost from “Crack” can be sustained over a more extended period, reducing the likelihood of experiencing a sudden drop in energy levels during or after a workout.
- Isps: This molecule is structurally similar to Citrus aurantium (found in bitter orange) and is known for its fat-burning properties. It can boost the metabolic rate, aiding in weight loss. It has been shown to have a stimulatory effect, which can enhance energy levels without significantly increasing blood pressure or heart rate.
- Hordenine: It’s an alkaloid found in certain plants that can increase energy expenditure and has been noted for its potential nootropic effects. Inhibiting the reuptake of noradrenaline can prolong the action of this energizing neurotransmitter, thereby sustaining energy levels and alertness.
- Rauwolfia Vomitoria Extract: This potent extract is rich in Aphrodyne, a compound renowned for its fat-burning and appetite-suppressing properties. Aphrodyne can also lead to increased adrenaline levels in the body, which may contribute to an enhanced sense of
Directions for Use:
“Crack” is a high-stimulant pre-workout, and as such, users should begin with a lower dose to assess tolerance. Mix one scoop with water and consume approximately 30 minutes before exercise. Due to its potent formula, exceeding two scoops in 24 hours is not recommended. | The #1 selling training pak in the world for twenty four years straight. Since 1984, more competitive bodybuilders have cut their teeth on the Animal Pak than any other bodybuilding supplement in history. Why? Simple. Animal Pak gets the job done. It works. First time. Last time. Every time.
Nature, in all her ingenuity, has designed the human body as the ultimate performance machine. Fact is, since the dawn of mankind, our bodies have changed very little. When it comes to feeding our muscles, we still need the nutrients we get from our diets. But when it comes time to grow our muscles in a freakish way, we need the right combination and mega-doses of essential amino acids, carbs, vitamins and minerals. Only Animal Pak has what you need. You’re the kind of primal beast who trains with Animal intensity. You need plenty of the above, plus that little something extra only Animal Pak provides. That’s why we’ve also loaded the Animal Pak with performance optimizers such as lipotropics, L-arginine, Uni-Liver, eleuthero, and the like. In every pak, you’re blasted with a dizzying array of over 60 key ingredients which are delivered in the right amounts at the right time, every time.
Each of the 11 tablets included in each pak has been specifically formulated to deliver the goods. By taking the Animal Pak, you prevent the formation of nutritional gaps. Why should you care? The greater your training intensity, the faster and larger these gaps grow over time. When this happens you eventually hit a plateau. You stop growing. Maybe you’ve already hit this wall. To make matters worse, if you take other supplements, these same gaps begin to render those expensive supplements useless. Many of today’s supplements rely on enzymes and other substances in your body to “activate” them. Nutrititional gaps mean these key activators may not function at all, so you may be wasting all of your hard-earned money on supplements that won’t or can’t work.
Consider the Animal Pak as the cast iron skillet of your supplement program, your body’s first line of defense. If you train with weights, then you absolutely need to train with the Animal Pak. Remember, while most supplements have come and gone, precious few have stood the test of time. When you’re ready for the best, step up to the most trusted name in serious bodybuilding nutrition: Animal Pak. |
One of the key components to bodybuilding progress is consistency - paying your dues day in and day out in the gym. The cumulative effect of this daily wear and tear over the weeks, months, and years, can be profound. When you're building a house, a big one, you need to make sure the foundation is rock solid because that house puts tremendous pressure on the foundation.
Now your body's foundation is your joints, ligaments, tendons, and all the connective tissue - the necessary stuff that supports your muscles, your training. The harder you train, the more massive amounts of weight and the numerous sets and reps performed in a typical workout, the more stress you put on your foundation. This constant pounding can take its toll, weaken it. And when a foundation crumbles, the house comes tumbling down.
Animal Flex is designed to help strengthen your body's foundation, to help protect your joints from the daily grind brought about by heavy duty weight training. Each pack of Animal Flex consists of several key joint protection complexes: (1) a potent joint construction complex to help repair connection tissue; (2) a lubrication complex to help cushion the joints from lifting; (3) a support complex to help promote rehabilitation and reduce soreness; and (4) a key vitamin/mineral support blend to help underscore optimal joint health. Animal Flex is your armor against the rigors of iron warfare. It is complete, comprehensive and effective. | Accelerated Amino Transport. Aminos are the basic building blocks of muscle. Aminos can also trigger anabolism, the cornerstone of muscle growth. As a lifter, you need them, especially the right ones. While there are nearly two dozen different amino acids, only a select few are absolutely essential for igniting the anabolic drive, as new research has shown. Not surprisingly, these required aminos are the same ones found in human muscle protein.
Animal Nitro is the first and only supplement that contains the correct ratios of those aminos based on human muscle protein itself. This complex of aminos is appropriately called Human Muscle Protein Complex (HMPC) and they’re only in Animal Nitro. HMPC consists of special “uncoupled” aminos exclusively – those that are free of the chemical bonds that can limit maximum utilization. By using only 100% uncoupled aminos in HMPC, Animal Nitro delivers a precisely controlled dose of aminos that are “targeted” to efficiently enter systemic circulation through a novel amino transport system. Here’s how it works. Each pack consists of a measured 6,000mg dose of uncoupled aminos (HMPC). Once ingested, they form a special bolus (a protective “mass”) that allows them to efficiently bypass the liver. Now this is vital as the liver captures and catabolizes regular amino acids (like those found in protein powders such as whey and more conventional amino supplements) to urea, a waste product. Once safely past the liver, this bolus of uncoupled aminos enters systemic circulation, where they can exert their powerful pharmacological actions–vasodilation and anabolism. When combined with resistance training, Animal Nitro can actually help your body deliver more nutrients to your working muscles, recover more quickly, and build new muscle mass by enhancing protein synthesis, improving net muscle protein balance, and preventing muscle breakdown.
Gram for gram, nothing is as pure, as efficient, as potent, and as effective as Animal Nitro. It’s the gold standard among amino-based supplements. |
