Isagenix originally formulated Cherry Berry Flavor AMPED Power as a pre-workout, with creatine, citrulline, and patented Nitrosigine® as key bioactives.
It is now recognized however that these bioactives can have significant benefits for non-athletes as well.

Creatine
Creatine, the most studied sport supplement in history, is a natural compound best known for it's ability to help supply energy to muscle.
Athletes have used creatine to get an extra competitive edge for over two decades, but new research suggests creatine’s benefits reach far beyond athletic performance.
In older individuals, the use of creatine has been found to offer a number of benefits, namely to aging, skeletal muscle, bone, and brain health.
The effects on brain health are not exclusive to older individuals,

Nitrosigine® & Citruline
Nitrosigine®, a patented product, and citrulline work together to promote blood flow, improving nutrient and oxygen delivery to muscles, while increasing focus.
Nitrosigine boasts a form of arginine ~ a metabolic precursor to nitric oxide ~ that is much more bio-available.
L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid that increases nitric oxide production.
Nitric oxide is known as the 'miracle molecule', because of its extraordinary importance in the health of virtually every cell in the body.

In a clinical evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Nitrosigine, researchers found Nitrosigine led to increased serum arginine levels within just 30 minutes. Nitric oxide levels also stayed elevated over several hours.

AMPED Power vs AMPED Nitro
Both AMPED Nitro and Power do share some similarities including citrulline and the patented ingredients Nitrosigine® arginine silicate and Creapure® creatine.

AMPED Nitro adds caffeine from green tea leaves to help reduce fatigue during physical activity while promoting focus and alertness.
Taurine, an amino acid-like natural substance, provides antioxidant activity while reducing exercise-induced muscle damage.
Betaine is another amino acid-like ingredient that helps reduce muscle fatigue and increase power.
Finally, AMPED Nitro adds beta-alanine providing a significant buffering effect within muscles, which may delay fatigue or muscle exhaustion.

AMPED Power vs AMPED Nitro ?
One isn’t necessarily better than the other. It depends on your goals; each has a time and a place. The good news is you have the convenience of having the health benefits of both available.
