Cellucor’s M5 Extreme is a customizable way for users to enhance their pre-workout experience. Cellucor has created a split canister design in their design of M5, enabling athletes to choose the ratio of their Mass Builder and Energy Igniter blends. This is an awesome approach to supplement dosage–particularly for those who are sensitive to stimulants and would like to lower that dosage–or for those that have grown insensitive to them and can increase the amount. The ingredients used in this product include: arginine, creatine, waxy maize, 1,3, taurine, citrulline, and many others that are prominent in the sports nutrition world because they have shown results.

Creatine produces ATP in muscle tissue. The ATP cycle is an expansive explosion of energy into muscles that results in powerful repetitions and an influx of energy that can be honed in a workout.
The use of Bacopa Monnieri extract in the Catechotropic Surge blend is an antioxidant and has been shown to limit the oxidation of fats in the bloodstream.
Arginine is used as a vasodilator in the body, helping to increase nitric oxide output in the blood stream and muscle tissue. Nitric Oxide works as a vehicle to transport oxygen and nutrients directly into muscles–causing them to swell (the pump!).
Our Take
This is a fairly expensive product, but aside from that–it’s a unique approach to supplementing that puts the control back into athlete’s hands. Our main concern comes when you run out of one side of the cannister and not the other? So in the end it may be a much more expensive product… Just a thought.
