The Advanced version is the most heavily loaded of the line: it keeps the caffeine level of the original formula and adds several ingredients from the stimulant and neuro-active families.

For reference, the European Food Safety Authority takes 200 mg as a single intake with no adverse effect in a healthy adult, and 400 mg across the day as a whole. One dose of this product therefore puts you well above the first threshold, and at eighty per cent of the second — before your morning coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 6,521 mg proprietary blend raises the opposite problem: the total is known, the detail is not.\u003c\/strong\u003e It contains L-citrulline, inositol-stabilised arginine silicate as Nitrosigine®, resveratrol, pterostilbene, beta-alanine, L-tyrosine, DMAE bitartrate, L-theanine and a root extract of \u003cem\u003eRauwolfia vomitoria\u003c\/em\u003e. Not one of those lines is quantified individually. It is a common formulation choice in this category, and it is the one we criticise most: without doses, there is no way to know whether citrulline is present at 4 g or at 400 mg, nor where beta-alanine sits relative to the 3.2 g usually used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo ingredients on that list deserve to be named outright.\u003c\/strong\u003e DMAE bitartrate and \u003cem\u003eRauwolfia vomitoria\u003c\/em\u003e extract — a plant whose alkaloids are related to yohimbine — are components whose status in food supplements differs from one European country to another and which are subject to restrictions in France. We are not glossing over them: if you are on any treatment, if you have the slightest cardiovascular or blood-pressure vulnerability, this product must be discussed with a doctor before it is bought, and not after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the regulatory side, there is nothing to claim: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is authorised in Europe for caffeine, citrulline, arginine, beta-alanine, tyrosine, theanine, resveratrol or boron.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not on pump, not on focus, not on performance.

Half a scoop is still 160 mg, which is already a complete pre-workout at many brands. Move up only if you tolerated it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNothing to be taken in the six hours before bedtime.\u003c\/strong\u003e Caffeine acts over a long window, and at this dose a 19:00 session is paid for very concretely during the night. If you train in the evening, this is not the right product: our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/booster-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free booster\u003c\/a\u003e aisle offers the same vascular actives without the stimulant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpect the beta-alanine tingles\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the face and the extremities, around fifteen minutes after taking it.

It says nothing at all about how well the product works, whatever you may sometimes read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo common-sense rules complete the instructions: drink enough during the session, and do not combine this product with any other source of caffeine — no coffee, no energy drink, no stimulant \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-de-graisse\"\u003efat burner\u003c\/a\u003e on the same day.

It is a niche product, and it makes no secret of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not suitable for under-18s, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer formally advises against it in cases of \u003cstrong\u003ecardiovascular disorders, high blood pressure, psychiatric disorders, epilepsy or prostate problems\u003c\/strong\u003e. Those are its own words, and that list is not token caution: it follows directly from the nature of the ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNor is it suitable if you are sensitive to caffeine, if you sleep badly, or if you are on any treatment at all\u003c\/strong\u003e — antihypertensive, antidepressant, thyroid medication. In all these cases, advice from a doctor or pharmacist comes before the purchase. The presence of DMAE and a \u003cem\u003eRauwolfia\u003c\/em\u003e extract makes that consultation all the more necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you should not expect from it.\u003c\/strong\u003e A pre-workout does not make you progress: it makes a session more pleasant to start, nothing more. It does not make up for poor sleep, or for insufficient food, or for a badly built programme. And it builds tolerance quickly: after a few weeks, the same dose does far less — which is precisely why the manufacturer recommends cycles with a break. If you need a stimulant for every session, the problem lies elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNitraflex Advanced or a stimulant-free pre-workout?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the real question to ask in this category, and it is settled less on performance than on your way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA caffeine-free formula keeps the whole vascular side — citrulline, arginine, beta-alanine — and removes the one ingredient that stops you sleeping.\u003c\/strong\u003e On the feeling of pump during the session, the difference is small; on the night that follows, it is total.

You simply have to buy it knowing what you are buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA third route, often the most rational: build it yourself. A \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/beta-alanine\"\u003ebeta-alanine\u003c\/a\u003e dosed at 3.2 g a day, a citrulline at 6 g before the session and possibly a coffee comes to a pre-workout whose every line you know. It is less convenient, but it is transparent — and in a category dominated by proprietary blends, transparency is worth something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much caffeine per dose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e325 mg for a 10.3 g scoop, or about four cups of coffee. That is well above the 200 mg reference figure for a single intake in an adult. One dose per 24 hours at most, with no other source of caffeine during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the dose of each ingredient known?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, except for caffeine and boron citrate. The other components are grouped into a 6,521 mg proprietary blend whose breakdown is not published. There is therefore no way to know how much citrulline or beta-alanine a dose really contains. We are not going to invent it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the product contain creatine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the formula has none and the manufacturer says so. So if you take creatine, you have to take it separately, at any time of day. That is not a fault in the product, it is a formulation choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I get tingling on my skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the beta-alanine. The sensation appears about fifteen minutes after taking it, affects mainly the face and the extremities, and disappears within half an hour. It is normal and harmless. It tells you nothing about how well the product works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there ingredients to watch out for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, two. DMAE bitartrate and root extract of \u003cem\u003eRauwolfia vomitoria\u003c\/em\u003e, a plant whose alkaloids are close to yohimbine, and whose status in food supplements varies between European countries. Ask a doctor for advice before using this product, especially if you are on treatment or have any cardiovascular vulnerability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich flavours are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the catalogue: Green Apple and Watermelon. The composition is identical in both. One scoop is mixed into 250 ml of cold water, or 150 ml for a half dose during the first few uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take breaks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and the manufacturer recommends it: cycles of 8 to 12 weeks followed by one to two weeks off. Caffeine tolerance sets in fast, and without a break the same dose ends up producing nothing at all. Stopping lets you recover your original sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy GAT Sport Nitraflex Advanced?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tub can be ordered from this page in the available flavours, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is a product we never sell without asking three questions: what is your caffeine habit, what time do you train, and are you on any treatment? At 325 mg per dose, those three answers decide whether the product suits you or not.
