Archetype

The Archetype Pre-Workout Formula

Each two-scoop serving of Archetype provides the following:

L-citrulline (4,000mg)

Archetype kicks the show off with 4 grams of L-citrulline, a significant dose to maximize the conversion to L-arginine and thereby enhance nitric oxide production,[1] resulting in substantial vasodilation, improved blood flow, enhanced nutrient delivery, and quicker recovery times.[2-5]

L-Tyrosine (3,000mg)

L-tyrosine enhances the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine,[6] which boosts mental focus and alertness.

Each serving of Archetype shifts your brain into a hyper-focused state, enhancing cognitive performance and resilience… even if you haven't had the best sleep.[7,8]

Betaine Anhydrous (2,500mg)

Betaine supports the body's cellular resilience[9] and can combat heat shock,[10] enhancing overall performance. Not only does it increase lean mass gain, but it also promotes fat loss -- demonstrated in both men and women at this exact 2.5 gram dose.[11-13] 

Nitrosigine (1,500mg)

Nitrosigine is a patented, next-generation nitric oxide (NO) supporting ingredient. This compound was engineered to overcome the low bioavailability issues associated with standard L-arginine, which the body breaks down before it can be effective.[14-18] 1.5 grams of Nitrosigine has been shown to boost arginine levels in 30 minutes, lasting up to 6 hours![19,20]

From this, Nitrosigine supports improved blood flow[21,22] and can support cognition -- even after hard workouts.[23-25]

L-Ornithine Hydrochloride (1,500mg)

Ornithine is an amino acid that helps remove ammonia, a metabolic waste that increases during exercise and leads to muscle fatigue,[19] thus potentially enhancing athletic endurance.[26,27] It also plays a role in supporting the body's biological processes for growth and recovery.[28]

Caffeine Anhydrous (200mg of 300mg total)

Caffeine is a powerful stimulant known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier,[29] enhancing brain and central nervous system functions. It boosts mood, focus, and wakefulness by blocking adenosine receptors, thereby reducing fatigue and increasing energy by enhancing cellular metabolism.[30]

Archetype has 200 milligrams of caffeine anhydrous, but there's another 100 milligrams coming:

Theacrine (as 40% TeaCrine yielding 50mg per 2 scoops)

Theacrine, featured in our formula as 40% TeaCrine to yield 50mg in a 2-scoop serving, is a naturally occurring compound, structurally similar to caffeine. This provides a long-lasting, unique edge by promoting energy, focus, and mood without overstimulation effects.

Research indicates that theacrine activates pathways to stimulate and sustain motivation and reduce fatigue,[34-36] making it an ideal ingredient for prolonged workouts and cognitive tasks. Its effects build gradually and taper off smoothly, offering a perfectly-sustained release of energy and mental clarity to pair with caffeine.

But we're not done with caffeine yet…

Dicaffeine Malate (100mg of 300mg total)

Even though caffeine is BOSS, a pre-workout named Archetype needs a bit more juice than just 200 milligrams -- so we added an extra 100 milligrams from Infinergy dicaffeine malate. This form of caffeine takes a touch longer for the body to break down, smoothing out the hit of energy it provides.

Theobromine (100mg)

We're not done with the energy yet: A chemical cousin of caffeine's, theobromine is a stimulant that works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that breaks down cyclic AMP (cAMP),[31] supporting both mental and physical performance due to increased cAMP levels.

It has a longer half-life than caffeine, working alongside the above Infinergy to alleviate concerns of the caffeine crash. Kings and Warriors like yourselves have no time for that, after all.

AstraGin (50mg)

AstraGin is a patented blend of botanical extracts from ginseng and astragalus, known for enhancing digestion. It primarily works with intestinal cells, supporting nutrient absorption from food and supplements -- especially amino acids like L-citrulline.

Toothed Clubmoss (200mg)

Huperzine A, derived from Huperzia serrata, helps in the quest for cognition by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.[32] This process increases acetylcholine levels, a neurotransmitter that supports memory and cognitive functions.[33]
