Pre Workout NOS v2
Our Upgraded Pre Workout. More Potent Than Ever.Pre Workout NZ
NZ Protein's Pre Workout NOS v2 is our newest and more potent pre workout supplement. We've updated our formulation and here's what we've changed:
- It's now a bigger 16.5 gram serve (up from 10 grams in our original product).
- We have new flavours.
- This product is completely different to before with an upgraded set of ingredients and varying amounts of amino acids.
- We've added l-citrulline, betaine, taurine, tyrosine and our electrolyte blend. We've removed the creatine, glutamine, and BCAAs.
- We also now offer some caffeine and some non caffeine (night time) options.
- The containers are 10% larger at 330 grams, and there are now 20 servings. Though there were more servings in the previous formulation - the amino acids per serve are much higher in our new formulation.
See the "NUTRITIONAL INFO" tab for a full list.
Our NOS v2 is formulated to increase intensity and drive during physical exercise. It works to maximise effectiveness by working in a 3 stage delivery matrix:
Intensity - train for harder and longer Increase your strength so you can push harder with the effects of key ingredients proven to fuel training for maximum results.
Pump - take your training to new levels Extra fuel to increase NOS production and blood flow is key to maximise muscle contraction and support the muscle pump during training.
Repair - maximise your results Provide fuel to muscles to support lean muscle tissue repair and recovery. Feed your efforts by shuttling nitrogen to exhausted muscle cells.
What's in it?
L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline is a popular pre-workout ingredient used to support nitric oxide production, helping improve blood flow and muscle pumps during training. It may also help support endurance, performance, and reduced fatigue during high-intensity exercise.
Unlike some stimulants, L-Citrulline is caffeine-free, making it suitable for both stimulant and non-stimulant pre-workout formulas.
Beta-Alanine
Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is reported to significantly increase strength, lean body mass and muscular endurance by helping to manage the pH of the muscle cells.
In other words, it helps buffer the acidic buildup that can occur in muscle, which allows you to maintain your strength, speed, and power for a longer period. In essence, you may be able to train harder and longer because of it.
It is reported to be incredibly synergistic with creatine and BCAAs. Therefore, when used/stacked properly, this supplement may be an amazing tool to help you take your training to new levels, resulting in new personal records and added lean muscle.
Beta-Alanine is responsible for 'tingling' or 'itch' skin sensations that you may experience. This is called paraesthesia and lasts up to 60-90 minutes. This is the most common side effect and paraesthesia is not harmful in any way.
Caffeine* (not included in night time formulations)
Caffeine is a stimulant and gives a boost of energy - which increases alertness and wards off drowsiness temporarily. This means that it can help you to perform certain tasks for longer. This isn't just limited to mental tasks - it includes physical tasks as well, such as running or lifting weights.
This means ingesting caffeine may give you the energy you need to give 100% during your workout. And giving 100% in the gym means you may get the results you want more quickly.
Ingesting caffeine jumpstarts the process of lipolysis, which is when your body releases free fatty acids into the bloodstream. This occurs when your body is breaking down your fat stores to convert it into energy. In other words, caffeine boosts your metabolism slightly and helps you burn fat.
Niacin
Niacin is vitamin B3. It's involved in nearly 60 metabolic processes related to energy production and ranks high for bodybuilders by virtue of its critical importance in providing training fuel. Niacin's most basic function is to release energy and can give you that drive if you're struggling to find the motivation and energy to train hard.
Niacin also increases vascularity as it causes blood vessels to widen which allows more blood to flow through them.
L-Arginine AAKG
L-Arginine alpha-Ketoglutarate is a cell volumiser. This means it can help to expand cells in the body, which may lead to a greater delivery of nutrients including glucose, amino acids, and oxygen.
It also increases nitric oxide production, which in turn can increase vascularity and help to get a better pump in the gym - especially for those undertaking hypertrophy style weight training. Therefore, supplementing with L-Arginine has been reported to help boost muscular endurance and stamina.
Betaine Anhydrous
Betaine is commonly used in pre-workout formulas to support strength, power, and exercise performance.
It may help with hydration and cellular fluid balance, which can support muscle function during intense training.
Betaine is also non-stimulant, making it suitable for both caffeine and caffeine-free pre-workout blends.
Taurine
Taurine is used to support exercise performance, hydration, and muscle function. It may help support endurance and reduce fatigue during intense training.
Taurine is also commonly included to support focus and overall training output, without being a stimulant.
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is commonly used in pre-workout formulas to support focus, alertness, and mental performance during training.
It may be especially useful during intense or demanding workouts, where concentration and motivation can drop.
L-Tyrosine is non-stimulant, making it a useful addition to both caffeinated and caffeine-free pre-workout blends.
Electrolytes
Our electrolytes are designed to support hydration during exercise, fasting, or hot weather, using only the essential minerals your body actually needs.
Suggested Use
Mix 16.5 grams (one scoop) in 300-500ml of cold water in a shaker, depending on desired taste. Take before exercise. Maximum two scoops in any 24 hour period. Adults 18+ only.
