Rivalus Powder Burn is the “special forces strength” preworkout supplement from RIVALUS, one of the fastest growing supplement companies out there. They are hitting the supplement industry hard with some pretty amazing supplements. Their supplements are split into their regular line and their “BlaqSeries” line, which are military grade approved supplements that contain no banned substances. Currently there are two other supplements in the BlaqSeries – Think Fast and Creatine CONQR.

Like Rivalus, I am a big supporter of our armed forces. As a company, Rivalus is committed “to assist professional and Olympic athletes reach new levels in training and performance, while supporting young athletes in their quest to become great.” [1]

What is Rivalus Powder Burn?

Rivalus Powder Burn is a preworkout supplement that uses cutting edge research and potent new ingredients to provide you with the energy, mental focus and stamina without the dangers, health concerns or failed drug screenings that you may get by using other supplements.

Rivalus Powder Burn Ingredients

Beta Alanine

Beta-Alanine has been shown to delay fatigue and improve exercise performance. If you could delay muscle fatigue and improve your workouts, you would bust through those plateaus. Where’s the proof?

In 2009, a double-blind study was performed to determine if beta-alanine supplementation would improve sprint performance and endurance in athletes. The study concluded that beta-alanine supplementation can significantly enhance sprint performance at the end of an exhaustive exercise workout [2].

In 2006 a double-blind, placebo controlled study was performed on 55 men. The 4 week study showed that taking creatine and beta-alanine for four weeks may enhance athletes’ endurance capacity. [3]

L-Arginine

L-Arginine is an amino acid that is a pre-cursor to the vasodilator Nitric Oxide. L-Arginine supports blood and oxygen flow to and from muscle tissues which leads to pumped muscles! L-Arginine also helps your body retain nitrogen. Nitrogen is one of the key elements in muscle protein synthesis.

Caffeine USP

Caffeine is perhaps the single most ‘tried and tested’ sports supplement. The ergogenic effects of caffeine are extremely well documented, and include improved concentration and alertness, a reduction in the perceived effort during endurance exercise, increased endurance performance, and endurance performance capacity.

Red Ginseng

Ginseng is reported to have a wide range of activities, which focus on immunological, central nervous system, acceleration of metabolism, and anti-oxidant properties.

Hedera Helix Leaf

Hedera Helix, or English Ivy has been a popular supplement in Europe for more than 50 years and has been used by millions of people. Numerous clinical studies indicate ivy leaf extract is helpful for people who wish to build and maintain healthy lung and bronchial passageway function.

Tiger Nut Powder

Tiger Nuts have been found effective in maintaining the flow of blood
and controlling blood pressure. For this reason, they are indirectly
effective in improving erectile dysfunction (ED). Though the medical
studies on this point are scarce, Tiger nuts have been used for many
decades in Ghana traditional medicine as an paliative for ED.
