18g dextrose
35g malo
2g fructose
5g creatine mono - Should be taken really before or straight after away from protein due to PH levels.
10g bcaa or 15g eaa or 5g leucine - should be taken before on empty stomach to maximise mtor and anti catabolic action agreed - during/pre is better. I find post is good though.
2g dlpa - Wat the fcuk: dl phenylalanine *
0.8 electrolytes
0.6 NAC
0.5 vitamin c - again before about 30 minutes to an hour or no effect on workout free rads the aim isn't to stop rads while working out but to neutralize them post. I actually find if I take a decent dose of anti ox's pre I have a weak session..

* L-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is an essential amino acid (EAA) and also serves as a building block for the various proteins that are produced in the body.
DLPA can be converted by a bio-chemical process in the liver to L-tyrosine and subsequently to noradrenaline, L-dopa, and adrenaline. DLPA can also be converted, through a separate pathway, to phenylethylamine, a substance that occurs naturally in the brain and appears to improve mood.
DLPA is a recent and very nice addition, noticeably chills you after an intense session.
As it also converts to tyrosine you get nervous system recovery as well as pain nullifying effects.
