We commence our assault with THE TRUTH MATRIX, a powerful shirt-ripping pump blend that will have you ballooning like a blimp during your movements. Through nitric oxide amplification and quenching your cells’ thirst, you’ll have the bloodflow you need to rock through your sets.

We begin with 6,000 skin-ripping milligrams of L-Citrulline Malate (2:1), an amino acid that plays an integral role in the urea cycle and in cardiovascular health.[1-3] Once in the body, citrulline is converted into arginine, which then goes onto become nitric oxide.[4,5] There is perhaps no better ingredient on the market for promoting vasodilation, and therefore stimulating blood flow in the muscles.

L-Citrulline is backed up in DVST8 by 2,000 milligrams of NO3-T Nitrate's, a two-pronged pump ingredient we've seen in other Inspired formulas, shown to provide wicked blood flow, vasodilation, and pumps.[6] Nitrate converts to nitric oxide with one pathway, and while arginine is a nitric oxide precursor in another. The Betaine Nitrate adds in a hydrating element to this plethora of pump.

DVST8 won’t allow you to settle for short bursts of intensity, followed by lounging around. The ENDLESS blend targets your endurance – letting you last as long as you need to squeeze every last rep in.

This blend starts with the classic 3,200 milligram dose of beta alanine. The source of that famous tingling effect, beta alanine is most importantly an endurance booster. It’s a building block of carnosine, a molecule that buffers lactic acid in muscles.[8] This means less fatigue, and more reps.

While all of that energy is great, you’re setting yourself up for a major crash and burn if your cells aren’t receiving the hydration they need to function. 

We begin, of course, with the most recognizable electrolyte: salt. While salt gets a bad rep, it is absolutely vital for maintaining proper hydration. With a bold dose of 500 milligrams of Pink Himalayan Salt, we’re certainly not at risk of sodium deficiency as we pound the weights.

Now here’s where we bump up the volume. The STIMULATED REALITY IGNITION matrix targets your energy levels starting at the fundamental cellular level.

This is where you’ll really feel it. You’ll feel the stimulation coursing through your nerve endings in a crescendo of fire.

Packed with a powerful 400 milligrams of caffeine coming from 325 milligrams of smack-you-in-the-face caffeine anhydrous and 100 milligrams of Infinergy dicaffeine malate (which yields ~75mg caffeine), DVST8's DARK blend sets itself up to be one of the more formidable energy-shots on the market, without going over the top. 

CognatiQ, formerly known as NeuroFactor, is a coffee fruit extract designed to contain high levels of bioactive constituents that promote the expression of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). You can think of BDNF as fertilizer for your brain – it helps promote the birth maturation of new neurons, even in aging (adult) brains. Jacking up BDNF production is a popular biohacker strategy for optimizing brain health and function.

Exercise is one of the best ways to increase your body’s production of BDNF – and at the same time, BDNF can help your body adapt to exercise. A 2022 research review concluded that “during exercise stimuli the BDNF contributes directly to strengthening neuromuscular junctions, muscle regeneration, insulin-regulated glucose uptake and β-oxidation processes in muscle tissue.”BDNF can also help increase metabolic flexibility, your cells’ ability to burn either carbs or fat for energy, depending on the situation.

As intense as DVST8 is on the physical front, we’re not mindless barbarians. More like cultured crusaders. The MIND/MUSCLE SYNC MODULE is the key to unlocking your brain just as much as your muscles. 

N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is an amino acid that critically manages the stress induced by intense training and body recomposition. As a precursor to neurotransmitters like dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is a must-have for any stack aimed at improving focus, energy, and motivation.

Choline is an essential nutrient for proper organ function in general,but our interest lies in its role as a substrate for acetylcholine, also referred to as the “learning neurotransmitter”. Helping to signal muscle contractions, acetylcholine is responsible for an enhanced mind-muscle connection during training sessions.

DMAE dl-bitartrate also belongs to the cholinergic family. It’s structurally similar to choline, and can further help improve memoryand may enhance concentration. In addition, there is some evidence to suggest that it can improve mood and overall sense of well-being.
