Pre workout products have gone from the early days when 200mg of caffeine was seen as "a large amount" to the crazy days of 2017 when images of zombies and the devil now frequent the packaging of the latest "hardcore" offering with up to a gram of caffeine (if you take the "hardcore serving") that is. This is crazy, I'm sure you all agree. Pre workouts were created to help you turn your hard workouts into something that was more productive than it would have been had you not used a pre-workout, right?Having agreed that, PhD set out to find out exactly what it was that you required from your workouts and lo and behold it wasn't "Getting pumped up for a night on the town", the need was actually far more important, it was about:
Once we had registered this, we realised that we couldn't do all this with one product because it would not only be impossible, it would be counter productive and conflicting. WE asked ourselves, "Why would a power lifter who wants to perform 10 sets of 3, need to burn fat?", or "Why would a cross fitter want to get a muscle pump?", the contradictions of a "one pre workout fits all2 approach are many, so we decided we would bite the bullet and create three!
Pre Workout BURN, Pre Workout PERFORM and Pre Workout PUMP.
PhD Pre-Wkt PUMP contains the latest breakthrough ingredient technology for bodybuilders seeking serious muscle pumps leading to muscle growth activation. Containing over 2g of Arginine and Betaine per serving Pre-Wkt PUMP also contains the super-ingredient L-Norvaline. It also contains NO CAFFEINE.
So why no caffeine?- The answer is complicated in its science but simple in it's reasoning. Caffeine acts as both a vasoconstrictor and a mild diuretic, these are both reactions in the body that are exactly the opposite of what you want to happen if you are actively seeking a muscle pump. Firstly, vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels. Arginine (which is a key ingredient for the muscle pump) is a vasodilator (expansion of blood vessels), one allows more blood into the muscle, one allows less. If you have both in the same product, you are countering the effects of both. If you want to increase muscle pumps- then don't use a pre workout with caffeine, but always use Arginine for it's ability to increase Nitric Oxide production. This comes back to the reason why we have created 3 pre workout products. Remember we agreed that the reason for using a pre workout wasn't to get ready for a night out?, the reason is to enhance the benefits of whatever type of training you are doing. More blood into the muscle means more nutrients and the greater ability to build muscle. So if you want a muscle pump and are training to get bigger, don't use a pre workout with caffeine in. If you want to perform better and lose body fat, well that's a different story and that's why we have created pre workout BURN and PERFORM.

Synergy ISO-7® has always been one of the most popular, best-tasting and complete sports nutrition products on the market and now it’s been made even better. Supplying whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, hydrolysed whey protein isolate and micellar casein, Synergy ISO-7® now provides a huge 40-41g of multi-release protein per serving, around 16% more than previously. With added CreaPep™ to facilitate efficient transportation of the 5g of creatine monohydrate within each serving, Synergy ISO-7® is one of the most intelligent all-in-one formulas available. Mindful of the requirement for lean muscle gains, PhD have added ground oats to the carbohydrate blend, which not only adds a variety of health benefits but also adds to the product’s great taste and texture, which has been made even better, even smoother and even more indulgent.
Powerful Micro Nutrient Profile: Zinc, magnesium, vitamin C and a powerful B vitamin complex to help reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Synergy ISO-7 not only contains top quality protein, but also features the powerful micro nutrient blend consisting of:
Zinc: Zinc is a fantastic mineral that has been shown to contribute to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood (A vital muscle building hormone for men) along with contributing to the normal functioning of the immune system (Equally important if we are to maintain optimum health and ensure we can produce 100% results from our workouts). Zinc is also a vital inclusion in PhD Synergy ISO-7 as it has been shown to contribute to normal protein synthesis. This is supremely important for all athletes. If we do not synthesize the protein we consume, we cannot progress and go on to build lean muscle.
Magnesium: Magnesium is an extremely important inclusion in Synergy ISO-7 as it can help contribute to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue and also help contribute to normal protein synthesis. Back to that term again, Protein Synthesis- A vital procedure for all athletes.
Vitamin B6:As well as contributing to the normal functioning of the immune system, Vitamin B6 can contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and normal red blood cell formulation. This is why PhD recommends always using a serving of Synergy ISO-7 60-90 minutes before intense exercise.
5g of Research proven Creatine Monohydrate: PhD Nutrition have always used research-proven Creatine Monohydrate in our top of the range formulas and Synergy ISO-7 is no exception. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, which means that it is ideal for inclusion in Synergy ISO-7 as it can be used by athletes training for strength, power and lean muscle mass. PhD have now added CreaPep™ to our new formula; a unique combination of dairy proteins and peptides. CreaPep™ is a Zero carbohydrate creatine delivery system and has been added to Synergy ISO-7® to help with creatine absorption and transportation to muscles.
