HOW IT WORKS

A supercharged Pre-Workout that provides a surge of energy and mental focus like

never before. Packed with an Amino Acid Complex, The Switch also works to help you

recover faster, helping you break through to new levels of strength, speed and

endurance. Turn It On, Use the Switch!

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SWITCH

No Propietary Blends

Putting 'propriety blends' on the back of a pre-workout product allows companies to hide how little of each ingredient they've

actually put into their product which can result in cheap, under-dosed and ineffective supplements. The Switch doesn't use

proprietary blends.

Proper Doses

For the reasons detailed above, many supplement companies are moving toward transparency and axing proprietary blends. That's

a good thing. However, these companies are still guilty of grossly under dosing ingredients.

Take citrulline malate, for example. The research on this potent amino acid shows that you need 6 grams per dose. Most pre-

workout products leave out citrulline entirely, and none of them provide anywhere close to 6 grams. Until now!

No ‘Abbreviated’ Formulas

An abbreviated formula is one that uses proper dosing of all ingredients, but only includes a few ingredients while leaving out

other ingredients that make it more effective. Why do they do this? Because adding more ingredients costs money.

The Switch includes 11 ingredients that work in concert to prime the body for intense workouts, making it the most complete

pre-workout supplement available.

THE SWITCH | PRE-WORKOUT

The Switch Features

• Full doses of 11 science-backed ingredients

• 6 grams of BCAAs in the 2:1:1 ratio best for blunting muscle fatigue, boosting muscle performance and promoting muscle

growth

• 6 grams of citrulline malate to promote better muscle endurance and bigger muscle pumps

• 3 grams of creatine monohydrate for greater strength, endurance, and the promotion of muscle growth

• 3.2 grams of beta-alanine to promote muscle power, strength, endurance, and muscle growth

• 2 grams of taurine for greater endurance and strength during workout and increased alertness

• 150 milligrams of N-acetyl L-tyrosine to support brain function incl. increased mental focus and alertness, dopamine levels,

mood and energy during exercise

• 200 milligrams of caffeine anhydrous to boost alertness and drive, increase muscle strength and endurance, during

workouts for greater training intensity

• 5 milligrams of BioPerine® to enhance absorption of the active ingredients in The Switch for even better results.

Under the Microscope

Let's take a closer look at each of the 11 ingredients and doses used to make The Switch such a pre-workout powerhouse:

6g of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

The BCAAs are three amino acids —leucine, isoleucine, and valine—that share a common structure

Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs are used directly by the muscles as an energy source Leucine is the most critical because it supports muscle protein synthesis (i.e., muscle growth)

Valine supports the blunting of fatigue, allowing you to work out longer

The optimal ratio of leucine to isoleucine to valine in a pre-workout product is 2:1:1, exactly the ratio in The Switch

THE SWITCH | PRE-WORKOUT

6g of Citrulline Malate

Citrulline malate is composed of the amino acid citrulline attached to malic acid (malate)

In the body, citrulline is readily converted to arginine, and then to nitric oxide (NO)

Research suggests that citrulline increases arginine and NO levels in the body better than arginine itself Arginine undergoes excessive breakdown by the intestines and liver. Citrulline does not, so whatever you

consume is readily absorbed and put to use

Citrulline malate is also an energy booster backed by research. One study reported that subjects consuming 6

grams of citrulline malate for 15 days experienced a 35% increase in ATP (energy) production during exercise

and a 20% increase in phosphocreatine recovery between bouts of exercise

Research also suggests that subjects supplementing with citrulline malate before a chest workout could complete

at least one to two more reps on most sets compared to subjects taking a placebo

3g of Creatine Monohydrate

There are hundreds of studies suggesting that creatine supplementation supports significant gains in muscle strength and power, as well as muscle growth

Creatine Monohydrate is clinically proven the purest creatine available anywhere Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate is produced using a patented process which guarantees purity, effectiveness

and potency

3.2g of Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine is taken up by muscle fibres and combines with the amino acid histidine to form carnosine

Research suggests that carnosine supports increases in strength and power, improves endurance and recovery, and

even supports weight management and muscle growth One study suggested that four weeks of beta-alanine supplementation in boxers increased their average punching power

in the last 10 seconds of a round by 2,000 percent more than those taking a placebo

Being able to maintain punching power late in the round is similar to maintaining more strength and power later in your

workouts, meaning you can lift more weight for more reps

THE SWITCH | PRE-WORKOUT

THE SWITCH | PRE-WORKOUT

150mg of N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine

Research has shown this essential amino acid supports brain function incl. increasing mental focus and alertness,

dopamine levels, mood and energy during exercise

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is 20 times more water soluble and better absorbed to raise tyrosine levels in the body

200mg of Caffeine

Research confirms that caffeine can immediately increase muscle strength, improve muscle endurance, and decrease

muscle fatigue during workouts, which allows you to take your training intensity to a higher level

Caffeine is also suggested to be a nitric oxide (NO) booster. One study in the American Journal of Cardiology reported that

healthy young men taking 300 mg of caffeine experienced an increase in NO levels and an increase in blood flow to muscles

5mg of BioPerine®

BioPerine® is a patented extract of the fruit of black pepper, or long pepper, that contains standardized amounts of the

active ingredient piperine

Numerous clinical studies suggest that when a 5 mg dose of BioPerine® is taken with other supplements, it increases

the absorption of those supplements by 30 to 2,000 percent

2g of Taurine

Taurine is a specialized amino acid that is important for endurance and muscle strength. It can also increase nitric oxide

(NO) production

Exercise depletes taurine levels, thereby impairing strength and endurance, so it's helpful to get a dose of taurine

before every workout

Supplementing with Taurine has been shown to increase strength levels and decrease muscle soreness

PLAN A | PRE & POST WORKOUT

HOW IT WORKS

An excellent pre and post workout supplement, Plan A will provide your body with easily

absorbed amino acids - the building blocks for muscles.

Plan A has been scientifically formulated to contain the exact amino acid ratio for repair

and building of muscles. Absorbed in just 23 minutes, (compared to the 2-4 hours needed

by dietary proteins) Plan A gives you shorter recovery times and even faster results.

6x more effective than protein supplements

100% fat & sugar free

THE SCIENCE BEHIND PLAN A

Plan A is a specific unique sequence of essential, vegetable based amino acids in a highly purified crystalline form. There are

many amino acid supplement products on the market today. PLAN A’s superiority is based on its amino acid sequence. PLAN A’s components, proportions, homogeneity, and extremely high purity enable it to provide unprecedented nutritional

effectiveness.

Due to PLAN A’s extremely high NNU (net nitrogen utilisation) PLAN A releases an insignificant amount of energy. At the same time 10

capsules provide the body protein synthesis equivalent to that provided by approximately 180g of meat, fish or poultry. By us ing PLAN

A in substitution of dietary proteins, the daily protein requirement can be easily and effectively achieved with essentially no calories.

Since PLAN A is already broken down into amino acids, it can be absorbed in the small intestine in approximately 23 minutes.

This is far less than the two to four hours necessary to digest dietary proteins. PLAN A induces a minimal stimulation of

intestinal secretions, acting as a completely catabolised dietary protein, and is absorbed without the aid of

peptidases(enzymes). For this reason, the use of PLAN A is especially recommended in the dietary management of individuals

who want to achieve faster and more intense body protein synthesis without overloading digestive functions.

PLAN A provides a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilisation (NNU). NNU represents a protein’s nutritional value, which is the percentage o f its

constituent amino acids that act as precursors, or “building blocks” of body protein synthesis. To illustrate: when a dietary protein is

digested, it releases its constituent amino acids into the small intestine where they are absorbed. Those amino acids can then be used for either the anabolic pathway (build-up) or catabolic pathway (breakdown). PLAN A is already broken down into amino acids

and there for is almost immediately available to the body as “building blocks”. When dietary amino acids follow the anabolic pathway,

they act as precursors for the body’s protein synthesis, thus becoming the body’s constituent proteins. Throughout the anabolic

pathway, amino acids do not release any nitrogen catabolites (metabolic waste) or energy.

On the other hand, when dietary amino acids follow the catabolic pathway, they act only as a source of energy and not as building

blocks. Amino acids release unwanted nitrogen catabolites when they are used as a source of energy in the catabolic pathway.

PLAN A | PRE & POST WORKOUT

The fact that PLAN A provides an unprecedented 99% NNU means that 99% of its

constituent amino acids act as precursors for the body protein synthesis. As a result, it

provides the highest NNU among any dietary protein or amino acid formula available. By

comparison: dietary protein provides a NNU of between 16%(casein) and 48%(hen egg).

All most all protein supplements using casein, whey, or soybean as a protein source provide an average of 17% NNU. This is 82% less

than that provided by PLAN A. As a result, PLAN A is almost 6 times more effective than protein supplements. Plan A provides the

“building blocks” of protein without excess calories or additional burden on the body.

PLAN A is made up of 9 essential amino acids and 2 conditional amino acids.

Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food. PLAN A provides all 9 of the essential

amino acids in a unique sequence and ratio that the body needs for proper protein synthesis.

Conditional amino acids are usually not essential, except in times of illness and stress. Training puts a lot of stress on the body

and for that reason the two most important conditional amino acids for athletes are present in the correct ratio in PLAN A.

It is well known that supplementing the 9 essential amino acids is very important but more important is the ratio between the 9

essential amino acids. PLAN A gives you all 9 essential amino acids and the 2 conditional amino acids in the correct ratio. It is

the ratio of these amino acids that sets PLAN A apart from all other amino acids supplements available to the South-African

Market

PLAN A is 100% fat and sugar free, unlike all other protein dietary supplements which have a significant amount of fat and added

sugars.

APITONE X10 | FAT BURNER

HOW IT WORKS

Combining the latest research with 10 nutrient elements, ApiTone x10 stimulates the

metabolism through thermogenesis while providing much-needed energy during times of

dieting and training. ApiTone also contains a specialised ingredient, Apitex, which acts as

an appetite suppresant.

The combination of proven fat burning and appetite controlling ingredients contained in our

ApiTone will play a leading role in your weight management program for better health and vitality.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND APITONE X10

Apitone x10 contains a combination blend that provides a holistic approach to burning fat by targeting as many variables as

possible to create the perfect fat burning environment.

Apitone x10 contains:

Green tea extract to boost thermogenic potential in order to stimulate metabolism

Naringin to increase the absorption and effectiveness of our supplements

Chromium for the utilisation of carbohydrates, protein and fatty acids

Theobromine, a powerful stimulant, diuretic and vasodilator emotional cravings.

Appitex™- Appitex™ is a combination of 2 ingredients – 2-Amino-3-Phenylpropanoic and Alpha-Amino-p-Hydroxyhydrocinnamic acid. 2-Amino-3-Phenylpropanoic acid acts as an appetite suppressant by administering the release

of an intestinal hormone, cholecytokinin(CCK), which signals the brain to feel satiated after eating. Alpha-Amino-p-

Hydroxyhydrocinnamic acid plays several important roles in metabolism. It is a precursor to the thyroid hormones and other

biological regulators like the catecholammes. The release of fat from adipose tissue is controlled hormonally, to meet the

needs for energy generation. In adipose tissue the primary hormonal effect is mediated by epinephrine which is one of the

catecholammes resulting from Alpha-Amino-p-Hydroxy-hydro-cinnamic acid metabolism.

Rhodiola Rosea - Rhodiola Rosea has an effect on exercise performance by increasing energy production. It has the

capacity to increase ATP production (the primary source of energy) and heightening this capacity under periods of physical duress. Rhodiola Rosea has also been shown to boost energy and fight fatigue by raising levels of glycogen during exercise.

It also significantly reduces lactic acid build-up. By improving overall energy expenditure, Rhodiola Rosea contributes to a

greater number of calories burned, and thus improves the effectiveness of every single workout.

The combination ingredients will burn fat, control appetite and will transform your weight management program for improved

health and vitality.

RESET | RECOVERY DRINK

Piper Nigrum (Bioperine) - Piper Nigrum is a nutrient absorption enhancer that makes all other ingredients work better.

Capsicum Extract - Capsicum is rich in a molecule called 'capsainoids' which are said/proven to increase the body’s

metabolism to burn fat. Research has shown that Capsicum Extract can help reduce body fat and reduce appetite.

Caffeine - Caffeine may temporarily support the increase of lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) as it stimulates the nervous system and tells the brain to break down fat cells. Caffeine also triggers the release of a hormone called epinephrine which

prompts the release of adrenaline. After these chemicals make their way into the body, there is increased demand to break

down fat cells for use as energy. Caffeine is also a thermogenic that increases metabolism. Caffeine is also an appetite

suppressant.

APITONE X10 | FAT BURNER

HOW IT WORKS

Reset Recovery Drink is a high-quality repair supplement that provides an

outstanding combination of ingredients. This combination of

ingredients optimize and assist the body with recovery from daily wear and

tear and/or intense training, improve joint health, support immune health

function and reduce muscle and joint pain

THE SCIENCE BEHIND RESET RECOVERY DRINK

Reset contains:

GlutaZyme™ (Enzymatic Buffered Glutamine) - Speeds up muscle recovery after a workout. It does this by minimising the breakdown of muscle and improving protein metabolism. GlutaZyme™ plays a key role in protein synthesis and stimulates

growth hormone production, which in turn metabolise body fat and support new muscle growth.

MSM - MSM (Sulphur) prevents toxicity, inflammation, pain in the joints and muscles, reduces stiffness and swelling, chronic

pain and exhaustion. MSM is also responsible for collagen synthesis.

Chondriflex™ - Research has shown ChondriFlex™ to be highly effective in countering cartilage degeneration as well

as pain, inflammation, swelling and stiffness in joints that have occurred as a result of sport and serious training.

ChondriFlex™ helps to form the connective tissue of skin, tendons, cartilage, ligaments and bone matrix.

Glucosamine sulphate - Glucosamine increases the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints. It is also known to reduce pain

caused by osteoarthritis of the knee.

L-Glycine - Glycine is essential for collagen formation. Collagen is the essential protein required to keep connective tissue

flexible and firm. Glycine repairs damaged tissue while preventing muscle degeneration and muscle breakdown and is

essential for athletes as it aids in the transport of nutrients into the mitochondria, where it can be utilised for the

production of much-needed energy.

Collagen (Hydrolysed Type 2 Collagen-kDA2) - Hydrolysed type 2 collagen-kDA2 is a patented ingredient with purified, enzymatically (partially digested) type 2 collagen. “Native” collagen, which has not been pre-digested, is in the form of

“giant” molecules that are too large for absorption. Type 2 collagen is the collagen that makes up moveable joints.

Creatine - Creatine enhances the body’s capacity to perform high intensity work, enhances recovery and improves bone

healing while promoting recovery after intense exercise

L-Cystine - Cystine preserves lean muscle mass, enhances athletic endurance and prevents muscle catabolism. It can

also be converted into glucose for the energy that is needed after intense training when glucose levels are low.

RESET | RECOVERY DRINK

RESET | RECOVERY DRINK

Beta-Alanine - Beta-Alanine causes intense vasodilation from the very first dose. It does this by increasing the level

of carnosine in the body. Carnosine is a powerful precursor in generating nitric oxide synthase (a group of enzymes

necessary for making the powerful vasodilator nitric oxide). Beta-Alanine also soaks up lactic acid to help prevent muscle

fatigue, boosts explosive muscular strength and power output, and boosts muscular anaerobic endurance.

L-Arginine - Arginine is a known precursor of Nitric Oxide. Arginine increases the diameter of blood vessels and thereby

increases blood flow within the body. It is also responsible for the reduction of plasma lactate and ammonia during training,

which if allowed to build up, would lead to fatigue during exercise. Persons suffering from injury can benefit from

supplemental arginine, as demand for arginine is increased during times of injury and repair.

Vitamin Complex - Vitamin Complex contains all the correct nutritional vitamins in the correct quantities. This combination

of all of the key vitamins may improve general health and energy levels.

Taurine - Taurine plays an important role in several metabolic conditions and is the most voluminous amino represented muscle fibre.

Excell M10™ - Excell M10™ is a high-quality repair supplement that provides an outstanding combination of ingredients, that

optimizes and assist the body with recovery from daily wear and tear, improve joint health, support immune function and

reduce muscle and joint pain
