About

SA-V – Provides a powerful RAW animal Pre-Workout supplement for all gym enthusiasts, bodybuilders, athletes, and cyclists. Take 1 to 3 capsules 1 hour before every workout with at least 3 to 4 glasses of water, one thing that most athletes agree on is the importance of providing the body with the fuel it needs to perform at its peak during a workout.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, build muscle or beat your best time on the track, maximizing each and every workout is essential to seeing fast and measurable gains. SA-V RAW Animal Pre-workout supplements are designed to provide your body with everything it needs to excel under the increased stress that it comes under during your workout.

One of the most common reasons for this feeling of lethargy is depleted glycogen levels. This will essentially starve your muscles of energy and once your body no longer has glycogen to fuel itself, it will turn to your hard-earned muscles as its next source of energy. Needless to say, if you’re trying to build muscle, this is extremely undesirable. A high quality, pre-workout supplement will ensure that your body has sufficient energy available to allow you to push yourself to your limits and will guarantee that you are building, rather than losing muscle mass.

In addition to the physical benefits, SA-V, RAW Animal Pre-workout supplements also provide a boost in mental focus, which can be a lifesaver for those who need to work out after a long day at work. You’ll feel energised, focused and ready to make the most out of every workout.

SA-V, RAW Animal Pre-workout supplements helps for longer exercises with less pain and stiffness, and builds up more lean body mass.

Several studies found that the use of arginine alpha-ketoglutarate , one of the ingredients in our Pre-workout supplement by bodybuilders promoted larger and longer lasting pumps,” “The muscles are tighter and stronger. Some of the bodybuilders reported feeling ‘pumped’ all day long.

Supplements in SA-V - RAW Animal Pre-workout supplement

Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG)

Where it comes from: Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate (also known as AAKG and arginine) is a nonessential amino acid that’s necessary when it comes to making nitric oxide in the liver. “Both AAKG and nitric oxide amplify the beneficial muscle-building effects of exercising and nutritional supplements,” explains registered dietitian and American Dietetic Association spokesperson Jim White.

What it’ll do for you: Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate is used to treat kidney disease, intestinal and stomach disorders, liver problems, and cataracts. It is also used to increase sexual energy, and for the prevention and treatment of erectile dysfunction disorder and sterility in men. Some people take alpha-ketoglutarate to improve peak athletic performance because it helps the liver break down by-products of muscle exercise such as ammonia. Athletes believe AAKG supplements help them exercise longer with less pain and stiffness, and build up more lean body mass

“Evidence also shows that L-arginine stimulates protein synthesis, which helps the body build muscles, and increase their size, strength, and endurance,” says White. It has been found that, by taking 10 to 15 grams of AAKG per day, the body’s insulin level increases by 20 to 30 percent, which in turn, theoretically increases strength gains and muscle growth. How? L-argnine increases nitric oxide production in blood vessels, increasing their diameter. This increases blood flow without raising blood pressure. When blood vessels dilate, more blood reaches the muscles and tissues and provides a larger amount of carbohydrates, proteins, and various muscle-building hormones.

“Several studies found that the use of arginine alpha-ketoglutarate by bodybuilders promoted larger and longer lasting pumps,” White explains. “The muscles were tighter and stronger. Some of the bodybuilders reported feeling ‘pumped’ all day long.

Caffeine Anhydrous

Getting pumped up with this ingredient actually has a lot of benefits. One of the main benefits is that it is a potent stimulant. It has been proven already by hundreds of studies and years of use. Caffeine primarily stimulates the central nervous system.

Some of the Caffeine anhydrous effects are as follows:

  • Wakefulness
  • Mental Acuity
  • Increased body coordination
  • Improved Cognition
  • Appetite suppression

It’s important to note that an increase of these neurotransmitters lead one to be very alert and active. Caffeine can cross the blood brain barrier so it can even stimulate your brain to make you more active. Usually, you’ll start feeling the effects within 45 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee.

Caffeine Anhydrous as a Fat Burner and Weight Loss product

The ingredient itself has its thermogenic properties that can help with the burning of fats. The presence of Caffeine in the body leads to the increase of epinephrine and norepinephrine. These two hormones actually tell the body to dissolve fat so that it can be available as an energy source! The diuretic effect of Caffeine is also a plus. Excess water can be removed from the body purifying you as diuresis also removes metabolic wastes.

Mucuna Pruriens

Mucuna Pruriens provides a neurotransmitter pre-cursor called L-Dopa. L-Dopa is the amino acid compound from which your body makes Dopamine.

Among plants, Mucuna Pruriens has unique aphrodisiac power and boosts Testosterone and libido. For centuries, it has been recognized for this purpose by indigenous peoples in India and Brazil.

Mucuna Pruriens contains 40 milligrams of L-Dopa per gram (1000 milligrams) of the bean. Of all plants, it is a top source of L-Dopa (dihydroxy-phenylalanine). L-Dopa an amino acid that is the immediate precursor to Dopamine.

**Human clinical trials have shown that the administration of Mucuna Pruriens to Parkinsons patients (who are deficient in Dopamine) to yield excellent benefits, which proves the potency of the L-Dopa in the beans of this plant.

L-Dopa crosses your blood-brain barrier and is converted into Dopamine. Dopamine disables prolactin, an arch-enemy of Testosterone in your body - preserving the availability of this precious hormone. Testosterone is vital for libido, potency, sexual performance and orgasmic response in both men and women.

Yerba Mate

Yerba Mate has the “strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate" all in one beverage. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world: coffee, tea, kola nut, cocoa and guarana, yerba mate triumphs as the most balanced, delivering both energy and nutrition.

Yerba mate tea is a South American beverage made by steeping the ground leaves and stems of the yerba mate plant. Yerba mate is a central nervous system stimulant containing caffeine, but it also contains a number of other nutrients, including antioxidants, amino acids, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals. Yerba mate is touted as being a safe and effective nervous system stimulant with few side effects and many health benefits. Here are some of the benefits of taking yerba mate.

  1. Rich in Antioxidants: Yerba mate tea is very high in antioxidants; it's got about 90% more antioxidants than green tea. Yerba mate has significant immune-boosting properties. It can slow the signs of ageing, detoxify the blood and prevent many types of cancer. Yerba mate also helps reduce stress and insomnia.
  2. Enhances Your Ability to Focus: Proponents of yerba mate tea say that the minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids and polphenols found in this beverage have a balancing effect on the caffeine it contains. Users report increased mental energy, clarity and focus, but they also say that yerba mate doesn't cause any of the uncomfortable side effects associated with drinking caffeinated beverages, such as headaches, stomachaches and jitters.
  3. Enhances Physical Endurance: The chemical compounds and nutrients in yerba mate tea affect your metabolism to make your body use carbohydrates more efficiently. This means you'll get more energy from the food you eat. You'll also burn more of the calories your body has stored in fat cells as fuel when you drink yerba mate tea regularly. Regular yerba mate consumption also helps keep lactic acid from building up in your muscles so you can decrease post-workout soreness and cut your recovery time.
  4. Aids Digestion: The native peoples of South America have long used yerba mate tea as a traditional herbal remedy against digestive ailments. Yerba mate aids digestion by stimulating increased production of bile and other gastric acids. Yerba mate helps keep your colon clean for effective and efficient waste elimination and helps reduce the stomach bacteria that can contribute to bad breath.
  5. Helps You Control Your Weight: Native South American peoples have traditionally used yerba mate as part of a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and exercise. Yerba mate has stimulant qualities to help you feel full sooner after you begin eating, and it slows your digestion so that your stomach stays full longer. Combining yerba mate with a healthy diet and regular exercise can help boost your metabolism to burn more calories, and it can help you eat less by curbing your appetite slightly.
  6. Supports Cardiovascular Health: The antioxidants and amino acids present in yerba mate help fat and cholesterol move through your bloodstream so that they don't accumulate on artery walls. Yerba mate also helps prevent arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and prevents blood clots that may cause a heart attack or stroke.

Schisandrin:

Schisandra is a plant. The fruit is used as food and also to make medicine.

Schisandra is used as an “adaptogen” for increasing resistance to disease and stress, increasing energy, and increasing physical performance and endurance.

Schisandra is also used for preventing early ageing and increasing lifespan; normalizing blood sugar and blood pressure; and stimulating the immune system and speeding recovery after surgery.

It is also used for treating liver disease (hepatitis) and protecting the liver from poisons. The Chinese have developed a liver-protecting drug called DBD that is made from schisandrin, one of the chemicals in schisandra.

Other uses for schisandra include treatment of high cholesterol, coughs, asthma, sleep problems (insomnia), nerve pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), chronic diarrhea, dysentery, night sweats, spontaneous sweating, involuntary discharge of semen, thirst, erectile dysfunction (ED), physical exhaustion, excessive urination, depression, irritability, and memory loss.
Some people use schisandra for improving vision, protecting against radiation, preventing motion sickness, preventing infection, boosting energy at the cellular level, counteracting the effects of sugar, and improving the health of the adrenal glands.

How does it work?

The chemicals in schisandra improve liver function by stimulating enzymes (proteins that speed up biochemical reactions) in the liver and promoting liver cell growth.
