Clean up your pre/post workout Nutrition
Cleaning up what you fuel your body with will make a MASSIVE difference.
It just makes sense.
I believe there is a lot of merit to NOT stuffing your face with junk before you try to do some good for your body, via exercise. Actually, going for at least 3 to 4 hours before a workout without eating may be very beneficial for you! It may feel odd at first, because you're use to eating beforehand, but think about it. Is your body worried about digesting food while exercising? NOPE. Especially with high intensity exercise. It's a natural response by your body to turn off GI function while in a sympathetic state, or high stress state. So work with this natural law of life and achieve optimal functioning.

Put good in,
Get good out!

Hard to find right?
That's why I didn't use any form of 'pre-workout' for quite some time.
Until I came across IDLife.
Which is all of the above, plus they have a slow-release caffeine that FAR surpasses coffee or tea. Along with high quality, highly bioavailable creatine. Enzymes and vitamins to help convert nutrients into energy and assimilate nutrients.
It's worth taking a look at! This is where my friends, family, clients, and myself go and get what we need:
You want to invest your money, time, and health in a company that STARTS with the science, then develops the best possible product.
If I were looking for a sports performance product, I would want my product developed from the highest quality research AND the highest quality ingredients.
Information provided by my unrelenting desire to learn more about true nutrition, information from myessentials.idlife.com, and Dr. Paul Sullivan (chief formulator and developer of the performance products).

- Anyone who has ever taken a pre-workout knows that there are some sketchy ingredients that are in that bottle.. which is exactly why I never even considered taking a pre-workout.. until now!! I can't flippin believe the difference it has made in my training.. and everyone else who I have shared this gem with.
- Strength and Endurance
- Regeneration and Preservation
- Electrolyte and Nutrient Replenishment
- Coconut Water Base
- The natural properties of coconut are incredible, and vast.
- Loaded with electrolytes and healthy fats (medium chain triglycerides 'MCTs')
- Perfect component to start with.
- Derived from organic, non-GMO sources
- Only put the BEST in when you're trying to get the best out!
- with NO toxic additives or sweeteners
- Most other products are loaded with these detrimental, physiologically damaging components. Yes, even the most popular ones.
- Essential Electrolytes and Nutrients
- For endurance
- Maintain muscle, bone, immune, and nervous system health.
- From Dr. Paul Sullivan
- "Sodium and Potassium are critical minerals that help minimize electrolyte loss, thus assuring better muscle contraction, energy production, nerve conduction and reduced muscle cramps. Magnesium and Calcium are added to help promote energy production, protein synthesis, ion transport, cell signaling and also has structural functions in bones, muscles and cell membranes. Zinc is included to enhance immune response, wound healing, and nerve function. Chromium is critical for individuals who train intensively and may be at special risk to increased blood sugar due to repeated increased urinary Chromium losses."

- BCAA
- Essential amino acids that are.. you guessed it, essential to your workout and overall health. Great for pre/post workout performance AND recovery.
- L-Glutamine, L-Arginine, L-Citruline, L-Valine
- Energy, muscle maintenance and growth, blood vessel dilation
- Healing
- Glycine is needed for creatine synthesis
- B-Alanine for anaerobic endurance and reduced lactic acid buildup
- More info linked below on BCAAs and EAAs.
- Micronized Creatine
- Muslce energy and metabolism
- Replenish and restore sources for overall health, and especially for musculoskeletal performance.
- Muscular retention.
- Micronized form: essentially creatine monohydrate that has been micronized. Increases surface area by 10-20x, which significantly increases absorption. So it's easily digested and does not promote bloating. Safely utilized or excreted.
- Shown to improve cognitive performance as well!
- The form that Ben Greenfield uses/recommends!
- And no, there really is no research to show detrimental signs of creatine supplementation when taking good forms, and not taking absurd amounts. (Studies/other trusted sources show that 5-10g/day is fine and ideal)
- Vitamins
- B9 + B12:: 5-methylfolate and methylcobalamin (B12): Necessary for muscle, nervous system, and heart health and performance. Affect your energy systems before and after the workout.
- Essential in converting BCAA into ATP (energy)
- Most B-vitamins found in other products are inert and cannot be utilized by the body efficiently, or at all. B complex vitamins can be great for your overall health and performance, but only when they come in the bioavailable forms.
- Examples of cheap, inert forms include cyanocobalamin and folic acid.
- Vit C: Healing
- Essential in building collagen, as well as healthy tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, skin and other tissues.
- MCT
- Medium chain triglycerides
- Minimize muscle destruction
- Reduce lactic acid build up
- Reduce electrolyte loss
- Increase Energy availability
- Promote healthy cells
- Caffeine
- SR-caffeine
- Sustained released that accelerates metabolism
- Doesn't give you those immediate jitters, and no crash.
- Enzymes
- Bromelein and Papain
- From pineapple!
- Proteolytic enzyme that aids in digestion of proteins (especially pertinent with the BCAA's that are in the pre-workout) , anti-inflammatory activity, and healthy tissue repair.
If you get the workout bundle, it's about $2/serving. Can't be beat.
What else have you spent $2 on lately?

FYI
You want to invest your money, time, and health in a company that STARTS with the science, then develops the best possible product.
If I were looking for a sports performance product, I would want my product developed from the highest quality research AND the highest quality ingredients.
- Research from:
- Journal of Sports Science
- Journal of Nutrition
- International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism
- Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine
- Etc
- Interviewed top experts:
- Exercise Physiologist
- Sports Chiropractors
- Fitness Trainers
- Body builders/marathoners/triathletes/etc etc
Cost:
- Probably the deciding factor for most people, unfortunately. Most will settle for inferior products that happen to be slightly Cheaper!
- I would rather have a company that will NOT crumble and resort to creating a cheaper product to make higher profits, or lower prices. IDLife starts with the science and sets the price point according to the high quality raw materials that are necessary for the best possible.

Product Description
IDLife Pre Workout
ELEVATE YOUR WORKOUT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL
What you consume before your daily workout can make all the difference in achieving the goals you desire and minimizing the time necessary for your body to recover. Pre Workout delivers a carefully researched and balanced complex of targeted amino acids, branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), enzymes, nutrients, vitamins and minerals to assist in maximizing your physical conditioning and mental focus. Whether your desire is to achieve a personal best, gain more mental focus during physical activity, or push through a plateau in your routine, Pre Workout can support your goals. When coupled with Post Workout, you have the perfect combination of nutritional supplements to maximize your workouts and support muscle growth and restoration.
WHY YOU NEED PRE WORKOUT
Many dream of a lean, muscular body and begin workout programs or join gyms in the hopes of achieving that goal. The problem most people find is they don’t have the energy, endurance or focus to give their workouts their all, leaving them discouraged, disappointed and frustrated. The missing element in most of these routines is not commitment, but rather a lack of proper nutritional support. Without the proper nutrition prior to a workout you run the risk of increased muscle breakdown that can lead to injury, tissue damage and muscle loss.
Pre Workout delivers the nutritional support needed before your workouts to help you maximize your effort and achieve the results you desire. The nutrients in Pre Workout support the formation, repair and preservation of muscle, help maintain consistent ATP energy generation, contain electrolytes and other critical minerals to minimize muscle fatigue and cramping, and include amino acids and BCAAs that contribute to both muscle metabolism and muscle generation.
SCIENCE BEHIND PRE WORKOUT
Pre Workout is a complex balance of nutrients specifically designed to provide what you need to reach your potential and maximize your efforts without any unnecessary label paint. Every ingredient was chosen for a particular purpose based on how it would interact and support the delivery of the other ingredients in the formula. Here are just a few ingredients and benefits offered with Pre Workout:
D-RIBOSE
A complex carbohydrate that is metabolized into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and when added to Creatine delivers a nutritional energy complex to fuel high-intensity motor movement and cognitive processes.*
BETA ALANINE
Clinical research has shown the beneficial effects on muscular anaerobic endurance, the potential to improve physical performance during high-intensity exercise, and its ability to assist in the reduction of lactic acid build up in skeletal muscle.*
CREAPURE® CREATINE MONOHYDRATE
Produced using a unique patented process that guarantees the highest purity and potency. Creapure® Creatine is designed to support the development of muscle size and strength, support energy production, and delay workout fatigue.*
L-GLUTAMINE & ARGININE
These natural amino acids may, in periods of extreme stress and exercise, help support muscle preservation, improve recovery times, and support an increase in muscle energy.*
MINERAL COMPLEX
There are 6 essential minerals in Pre Workout combined to help minimize electrolyte loss, support smooth muscle contraction, increase energy production, and improve nerve conduction.*
PAPAIN & BROMELAIN
These powerful plant enzymes are included to support the break-down and absorption of the other ingredients within the formula and to act as natural anti-inflammatories.*

IDLife Post Workout
REPAIR | RESTORE | REJUVENATE
What you fuel your body with before and after your workout will determine your ability to push through that extra set, how fast you can recover and how sore you feel the next day. During intense physical activity, tissues get damaged at the micro-level and if left unattended could lead to an increased risk of injury, muscle loss and fatigue. Post Workout provides a high quality complex of proteins, vital electrolytes and antioxidants to address workout recovery, and proper nutritional support for your body’s muscular and nervous systems. When coupled with Pre Workout, you have the perfect combination of nutritional supplements to maximize your workouts and support muscle growth and restoration.
WHY YOU NEED POST WORKOUT
Professional athletes refer to the period after a workout as “remodeling” where the body exhibits symptoms of physiological stress that can include muscle atrophy, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), Edema (swelling), inflammation and fatigue. During this post-workout period, nutrition is essential.
Post Workout is an athletic grade, nutritional supplement that supports muscle repair and growth, and relief from symptoms of inflammation, soreness, and fatigue after intense physical activity. Recover faster from your workout and give your body the essential proteins, minerals and nutrients it needs to repair and rebuild muscle tissue.
SCIENCE BEHIND POST WORKOUT
Post Workout is everything you need after intense exercise with none of the unnecessary stimulants or fillers found in other post-performance drinks. Post Workout provides the essential minerals and nutrients your body needs to rebuild and prepare for tomorrow. Some of the key ingredients of the formula include:
TAURINE
Assists in the prevention of muscle protein breakdown, fatigue and speeds physical recovery from intense activity.
VITAMIN C
Present to protect against free radical damage, oxidative stress and upper respiratory infections that can occur after endurance events that deplete the body’s immune system.
FOLATE
Provides critical support in cellular repair after extreme physical activity.
CREATINE
Studies suggest that it increases lean muscle mass, enhances athletic endurance and supports cardiovascular circulation.
L-GLUTAMINE
A natural amino acid that assists with muscle preservation, tissue repair and reduced DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
DID YOU KNOW...
Glutamine makes up approximately 60% of the amino acids found in muscle? Studies have discussed a correlation between glutamine levels and improved protein synthesis. These findings suggest that the L-Glutamine amino acid, like that found in Pre and Post Workout, may assist in maximizing lean muscle development after your workout.
