Dark Katana No Carbo 320 grams YAMAMOTO

What is Dark Katana NO CARB intra-workout and what is it used for?

Dark Katana NO CARB was designed and developed for athletes who demand the most from every training session , even during cutting, definition, or low-carb diets. A complete pre-workout in the form of an orange-flavored powder that, when dissolved in water, provides essential amino acids, the next-generation Peptistrong™ peptide, and a phyto-blend rich in natural extracts that work synergistically to support mental focus, reactivity, and pump (green coffee, green tea 40% EGCG, turmeric, sour cherry, blueberry, kale). The total absence of carbohydrates makes it perfect during cutting or definition phases, or for those following a low-carb protocol, while also ensuring energy, reduced fatigue, and recovery support. Dark Katana's NO CARB formula also helps maintain hydration and proper plasma volume.

But what does Dark Katana NO CARB intra-workout contain in detail to be so functional?

Dark Katana NO CARB is composed of a complete and complex blend of ingredients and micronutrients, designed to work synergistically and provide maximum training support even during periods of low energy and increased fatigue. Its blend is formulated with:

• L-leucine, L-citrulline, L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-threonine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-histidine and L-tryptophan: a mixture of essential amino acids to help meet protein needs, promoting energy support during performance and at the same time helping to reduce fatigue and combat tiredness. (1);

• Hydrolyzed fava bean proteins PeptiStrong : A bioactive peptide derived from hydrolyzed fava bean protein that works through the M-TOR and Phospho-S6 signaling pathways to increase muscle synthesis, reduce muscle catabolism via the Atregin and MURF-1 pathways, increase mitochondrial mass, and optimize strength recovery. Hydrolyzed fava bean protein is a source of plant protein and is obtained through hydrolysis, a technique that breaks complex proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, making them easier for the body to absorb. This manufacturing process makes the hydrolyzed proteins easily digestible. These specific cell-signaling peptides in PeptiStrong work intelligently using the body's natural signaling pathways to optimize cellular growth and recovery processes. Research on PeptiStrong suggests that these peptides contribute to increased muscle protein synthesis and energy, and reduced muscle breakdown and exercise-induced inflammation (2;3;4).

• Glycerol : functional molecule for cellular hydration and to help prevent the loss of water and liquids that occurs during intense training. For this reason, glycerol is used, especially in endurance sports, as a useful support for body rehydration and general improvement of performance (5);

• Sodium and Potassium : minerals in citrate form ideal for supporting hydration during intense and prolonged workouts and in case of excessive sweating to restore the correct electrolyte balance. Potassium helps regulate the flow of fluids in the cells, while sodium helps maintain the osmotic balance between the cells and the extracellular fluid (6);

• TruBeet : A patented and standardized formula high in natural nitrates extracted from beetroot ( Beta vulgaris ). The formula is standardized to contain over 6% inorganic nitrate (vs. traditional beetroot extracts, which typically contain 1-3%), allowing for significantly reduced dosages. It also harnesses the natural power of polyphenols, which work in harmony with nitrates to support exercise performance. Taking TruBeet facilitates the production of nitric oxide in tissues experiencing hypoxia, such as muscles during exercise. Improving the bioavailability of NO has been documented to influence muscle function and physical performance by reducing the cost of oxygen in ATP synthesis and increasing the recovery of muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) in hypoxic conditions. TruBeet® has been clinically proven to improve end-of-race performance in endurance events after prolonged, moderate-intensity exercise. The same study also found that TruBeet® can accelerate the kinetics of muscle deoxyhemoglobin, improving oxygen extraction from the muscles.(7)

• Zynamite: Zynamite® is a patented extract from mango leaf, a plant Mangifera indica, naturally rich in natural polyphenols and known for its nootropic and energizing properties. From this extract we obtain mangiferin, the bioactive molecule contained in mango leaves. It is a natural and innovative ingredient and its role in supporting cognitive and physical performance, improving focus, resistance and muscle recovery has been demonstrated. It appears to equal caffeine in terms of effectiveness of action, with the advantage of eliminating the side effects of the latter. The benefits of taking ZYNAMITE® are visible in the improvement of physical and mental performance, in faster reaction time, in increased focus and concentration (8);

• Blend of plant extracts: A combination of seven plant-based nitric oxide-boosting ingredients (Green Coffee, Green Tea, Turmeric, Cherries, Blueberries, Broccoli, and Kale) that have been shown in studies to fire up the body's nitric oxide production system. This blend is completely plant-based and nitrate-free, and is designed to help you experience the benefits of nitric oxide so you can focus on your performance. In several acute, double-blind studies, this blend has been shown to increase circulating blood nitric oxide levels for long-term support of the nitric oxide cycle (9);

• Vitamin B6: This B-complex vitamin plays a role in protein and glycogen metabolism, participates in the regulation of hormonal activity and the production of red blood cells. Furthermore, it plays an essential role in supporting the proper functioning of the immune system, stimulating cognitive functions and counteracting aging (10);

• Vitamin B1: Also known as Thiamine, vitamin B1 is primarily involved in carbohydrate metabolism: it plays a significant role in the process of converting glucose into energy (11).

Dark Katana NO CARB is therefore a perfect intra-workout supplement, to be used to support your workout in a comprehensive way: it provides energy, fights fatigue, helps support muscle pump, counteracts catabolism, hydrates cells and optimizes concentration and mental performance. It is an indispensable ally for getting the most out of your workout.
