Let's dive head first into this doozy of a formula, shall we?
Supplement Facts
Blood Flow and Performance

Where Sinister really shines is blood flow and performance. This loaded pump complex features 10,000mg of L-citrulline. L-citrulline is an amino acid that indirectly converts to nitric oxide; nitric oxide is essentially the holy grail of ingredients when it comes to enhancing blood flow. Nitric oxide expands blood vessels through a process called vasodilation. This mechanism allows more blood to be delivered to your muscles, and also removes waste products on its way out. As blood is the carrier of oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, increases in blood flow proves to be especially beneficial for exercise performance.
Sinister also packs in a clinical dose of one of the most popular pump ingredients in the industry, VasoDrive-AP. VasoDrive-AP promotes endothelial (inner lining of blood vessels) relaxation, which allows blood vessels to expand even further.
For even more blood flow, Sinister provides 2,000mg of Beet Root Extract. Beet root itself poses a plethora of benefits for cardiovascular benefits due to its rich nitrate content and has been shown to reduce blood pressure and increase blood flow. To promote hydration, Sinister manages to pack in an impressive dose of betaine anhydrous at 3,000mg. One study showed that 2,500mg betaine supplementation over a two week period increased peak power during bench press . Another study showed that betaine also increased power output in cyclists during a twelve second split.
To round out this stacked pump complex, Sinister also packs Malic Acid, Agmatine, and S7. For more information on those ingredients, visit our Ingredient Page
It’s important to note that Sinister’s blood flow and performance complex is top-of-the-line and going to be extremely challenging to beat.
Energy
To kick off this energy complex, Sinister packs in a massive dose of PEA at 400mg. PEA is an endogenous amphetamine derivative and increases focus and provides that beloved euphoric feel that you gym rats are constantly chasing. Its effects are relatively short lived, but they are most certainly felt. PEA also increases motivation, cognition, and mood. It may even work synergistically with Alpha-GPC to enhance acetylcholine levels.
Sinister also packs in a solid dose of halostachine at 25mg; another powerful stimulant. Halostachine is beta adrenergic agonist and metabolite of PEA; it’s touted to boost energy, motivation, elevate mood.
For caffeine sources, Sinister packs 350mg of caffeine anhydrous; everyone’s favorite central nervous system stimulant that increases energy, focus, and thermogenesis. Plus Sinister also manages to pack in 100mg of ZumXR Extended Release caffeine, which is a longer lasting form of caffeine that provides similar effects to caffeine anhydrous, but also helps to prevent that ever-so-dreaded crash towards the end of your workout.
To round out this loaded energy complex, Sinister added 100mg of the xanthine derivative, theobromine. It too provides longer-lasting energy and also plays a role in preventing crash.
Focus
While the stimulants alone should provide all the focus you need, Sinister also packs several other ingredients aimed at enhancing focus and cognition. Sinister includes 1,500mg L-tyrosine; an amino acid that increases dopamine and noradrenaline levels within the body. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that aids in focus, cognition, and provides a slight euphoric feel. Tyrosine is one of the most popular nootropic ingredients on the market and is particularly useful when supplemented before bouts of acute stress, like working out.
Sinister also includes a hefty dose of Alpha-GPC at 600mg. Alpha-GPC is responsible for increasing our neurotransmitter acetylcholine. As acetylcholine plays a role increasing focus, cognition, and muscle contractions, this ingredient proves to be quite beneficial when it comes to performance in the gym. To further enhance acetylcholine levels, DMAE dosed at 750mg is included in this focus complex. Pair those two with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor Huperzine to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, and it will surely have you feeling locked in
In order to reduce stress, anxiety, and elevate mood, Sinister incorporates 250mg of the plant-based ingredient, Kanna. The inclusion of Kanna should help to reduce the side effects of the stimulant complex to a large extent, and its addition within Sinister’s formula does exactly that.
To round out this focus complex, Sinister yields 150mg Mucuna Pruriens. This ingredient is rich in L-Dopa, which is the precursor to neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Like halostachine and PEA, it too provides a slight euphoric feel and will have you feeling pretty good.
Misc
To round out the formula, Sinister packs a clinical dose of NuLiv Science’s patented absorption ingredient, AstraGin. AstraGin has many benefits and works well in almost any formula. It’s mechanism is fairly simple; it increases the number of transporter proteins within the gut. These transporter proteins bring nutrients to the wall of your intestine, which are then absorbed into the body to be utilized.
Studies show that AstraGin significantly increases the absorption of arginine, lysine, glucose, creatine, beta-alanine, choline, citrulline, BCAA’s, carnitine, and fatty acids. It essentially makes the ingredients in a product more bioavailable, which allows more of said ingredient to be absorbed and put to use.
