Purus Labs Condense Product Information
Condense™ is a novel approach to preworkout
performance-enhancement designed to expand performance capacity, utilizing
patent-pending nutrient technology and peer-reviewed, human-validated, orally
efficacious dosages, rather than merely and temporarily increasing acute
performance as with most short-sighted, stimulant-laden products currently on
the market. Purus Labs® has revolutionized the preworkout category, once again,
by actually achieving what other companies only claim: that is, eliciting
extreme vasodilation through truly enhancing endogenous nitric oxide
production. This, in turn, causes a cascade of welcomed anablic and
physiologically enhancing benefits to athletes of all cloth through enhancing
blood-flow, heightening substrate utilization (i.e. better nutrient
absorption), preserving ATP stores, propelling oxygen delivery to
myocapillaries, and reducing overall exercise oxygen cost allowing you to
handle greater workloads (e.g. more weight) and exercise longer before
exhaustion (e.g. more reps).*
The Constituents
Nitratene™
Inorganic nitrate found in beets, spinach, etc…proliferates
nitric oxide through a novel biological pathway, converted through
entero-salivary circulation as opposed to the more traditionally known nitric
oxide pathway. Although nitrate, as related to exercise performance, is still
in its infancy, the results on performance parameters are nothing short of
salivary (pun intended)!*
Nitrate has been shown to be a powerful aerobic and
anaerobic ergogenic aid by reducing the oxygen cost of exercise, translating
into lower perceived exertion and/or a greater maximal workload capacity.
Astonishingly, the increased work comes without an accompanying increase in
blood-lactate, meaning your muscles actually become more energetically
efficient. This increase in mitochondrial efficiency (P/O ratio) is due to the
reduced cost of ATP (muscular currency) to produce muscular force.*
Beta Alanine
This non-proteinogenic amino acid is a constituent of
muscle-carnosine (beta-alanine-l-histidine), however, myocarnosine content has
been shown to be significantly increased through beta alanine supplementation
alone. Carnosine, which beta alanine enhances the muscular concentration of,
helps stabilize muscular pH levels by buffering the hydrogen ions produced
through intense exercise. Intuitively, this stacks nicely with nitrates as they
synergistically work through different modalities to achieve the same endurance
effect.*
Betaine anhydrous
Betaine, or trimethylglycine, is an interesting compound
found in beetroot juice as it serves as an osmolyte (protecting cells against
dehydration), an antioxidant, and a methyl group donor serving to lower
homocysteine levels. Human performance studies involving betaine found it
increases power and force performance measures amongst trained individuals and
was elucidated through these exercise protocols: bench press throw, bench press
force, squat force, and vertical jump power. Another larger study concluded
betaine aided in high intensity anaerobic training, allowing individuals to
achieve more squat repetitions at 75% of their 1-RM with more repetitions
achieved at =90% peak power.*
1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine
Obviously, caffeine is a widely used and highly efficient
aerobic and anaerobic performance stimulant. Its effects are as highly acute
and pronounced as they are vast. Caffeine improves cognition and alertness,
antagonizes adenosine receptors, inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE), increases
epinephrine/norepinephrine/dopamine release, and enhances intracellular
sodium/potassium pump activity.
Electrolytes
Ionized salts are abundantly found within our bodies and
serve the chief primary function of maintaining specific concentration and
charge balances across cell membranes. We include the electrolytes sodium,
potassium, and chloride within Condense™ to aid in maintaining optimal
hydration status and blood volume during strenuous physical activity thereby
blunting a rise in cortisol and quickening recovery.*
Summary
As with all Purus Labs® products, only ingredients with
human, orally-efficacious research are used, AND each ingredient is included at
the research-validated dosage. Utilizing patent-pending Nitratene™
nutrient-technology, Purus Labs® continues to revolutionize the sports
nutrition industry and offer consumers a light in an industry shrouded in
darkness.

Warnings
Condense® is intended only for healthy adults over the age
of 18. Do not use if you are currently pregnant or nursing, could be pregnant,
or are attempting to become pregnant. Consult a licensed healthcare
practitioner before using this product. Do not use this product if you have
been diagnosed with or have a family history of (including, but not limited
to): heart disease, thyroid disease, liver disease, diabetes, hypoglycemia,
hypo/hypertension, asthma, Barrett's Esophagus, gastroesophageal reflux, any psychiatric
condition including depression or seizure disorder, or if you are using any
prescription drug, or over-the-counter drug, in particular those intended to
treat erectile dysfunction or blood pressure disorders. Discontinue use and
contact a doctor immediately if you experience an irregular or rapid heart
beat, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting or
presyncope, tremors, headache, nausea, or other similar symptoms. If you are a
performance athlete, please check with your sanctioning body prior to use to
ensure compliance.
