Description
MRI’s Black Powder is a pre training formula featuring Instant Release (IR) technology and patented Actinos2 whey peptide fraction. It contains Proprietary Blend for Size & Recovery, Proprietary Blend for Strength & Power, Proprietary Blend for Stamina & Endurance, Proprietary Blend for Muscle Energy Metabolism, Proprietary Blend of Neuromodulators for Focus & Intensity and Proprietary Blend of Insulin Sensitizers. Black Powder is designed to increase workout intensity, pumps (muscle expansion) and lean muscle gain.
Proprietary Blend of Insulin Sensitizers includes taurine and Actino2. Patented Actino2 contains whey peptide fraction, partially pre-digested whey peptides. This improves protein synthesis and absorption and enhances muscle growth. The amino acid taurine helps maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels. Insulin helps shuttle anabolic (muscle building) agents such as creatine into muscle cells, resulting in increased lean muscle mass. Proprietary Blend for Strength & Power’s creatine ethyl ester HCL and creatine anhydrous promote muscle mass, energy, strength, endurance and recovery.
Proprietary Blend for Size & Recovery includes l-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) and arginine HCL. These nutrients support NO (nitrous oxide) production and promote pumps, endurance and recovery from exercise. NO is a naturally produced vascular (blood vessel) ‘pump’ that stimulates vasodilation (opens blood vessels) and increases blood flow to the brain and muscles. Proprietary Blend of Neuromodulators for Focus & Intensity contains caffeine, green tea and betaine anhydrous. Caffeine and green tea are mental and physical performance enhancers with powerful stimulant effects. Betaine is a vitamin derived from choline that regulates fat metabolism and sugar levels in the blood.
Proprietary Blend for Muscle Energy Metabolism includes MCTs (medium chain triglycerides), and vitamin B complex. MCTs are “good” fats that promote fat metabolism, leanness and positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein). B vitamins deliver a natural energy boost. Proprietary Blend for Stamina & Endurance contains CarnoSyn beta-alanine, helping maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels.
Pros
Black Powder’s Instant Release (IR) technology delivers pre-workout nutrients measured to precise gram-molecular specification to help maximize absorption and transport.

Cons
Caffeine and green tea may cause insomnia, trembling, anxiety, and urinary frequency. Individuals sensitive to caffeine should avoid taking Black Powder.
Stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, bloating and muscle cramping have been reported with creatine use.
Large amounts of arginine can lead to diarrhea, weakness and nausea. Arginine may promote viral growth and replication, such as genital herpes.
People who are allergic to dairy products should avoid whey protein.
Ingesting MCTs on an empty stomach can cause GI (gastrointestinal) upset.
Pregnant or lactating women and people with pre-existing medical conditions or viral conditions such as herpes or taking medication should not supplement with Black Powder without consulting a physician.
