Let’s Meet The Roadmap
Weightlifting
No matter what dumbbells you can curl, weightlifting is a great form of exercise that supports lean, strong muscles and may even prevent injuries from occurring down the road. It's also one form of movement that takes a lot out of you.
Lite Up XTRA:
Designed to amp up the voltage for your next workout, Lite Up Xtra includes 100 mg of clean caffeine from green tea and ingredients like Nitrosigine® for a nitric oxide boost. Nitrosigine® is a patented complex of bonded arginine silicate that promotes proper blood flow to support strength and endurance. It's a great way to channel the energy and blood flow you need before leg day.
Muscle BCAA:
Sourced solely from plants, our Muscle BCAA complex is a 2:1:1 ratio of three essential amino acids that are broken down in muscles rather than the liver to serve as energy for muscle tissue. Muscle BCAA also includes a probiotic, vitamin C, citrulline malate, malic acid and coconut water concentrate that support hydration and muscle recovery.
Plant Complete Protein Powder:
When it comes to supporting muscle recovery and growth, a post workout protein shake is a good place to start. Finding a protein powder that works for you and makes you feel amazing isn’t always an easy task. Most vegan proteins are difficult to digest and aren't as bioavailable as other sources. Plant Complete is a vegan protein created with rice and pea protein to give you a complete amino acid profile. To make things easier on your digestive system, we fermented Plant Complete with shiitake mushrooms for better absorption and digestibility.
Indoor Cycling
Cycling is no joke, and to keep up with this fast paced workout, you need specific ingredients that will help you stay in tip top shape. This workout stack is designed to amp you up before your workout and replace electrolytes that are lost during sweat, so you can go the extra mile. Your legs will thank you later.
Lite Up Xtra:
A grueling cycle class is way more fun when you're excited to be there. To help amp you up, Lite Up Xtra includes 100 mg of clean caffeine from green tea and ingredients like Nitrosigine® for a nitric oxide boost. Nitrosigine® is a patented complex of bonded arginine silicate that promotes proper blood flow to support strength and endurance. To keep your energy high for your whole workout, Lite Up Xtra includes 1,100 mg of malic acid, a compound that plays a role in energy production.
Hydro-Fuel:
When the bike ride starts to get sweaty, your body needs hydration and electrolytes to keep you going. Hydro-Fuel is formulated with a 72 trace mineral complex, coconut water concentrate, and malic acid to help refuel so you can keep pedaling through to the end. The coconut water concentrate replenishes your hydration without all of the added sugars found in energy drinks. Plus, 6 essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and chloride) are added to help you finish your workout.
Plant Complete Protein:
A tough workout breaks down muscles, so when they rebuild they're stronger and more efficient. Cycling is no exception. It'll take a toll on your quads and glutes. Consuming protein within 20 minutes after a workout can help your muscles repair from the stress of a workout. Plant Complete is a vegan protein created with rice and pea protein to give you a complete amino acid profile. To make things easier on your digestive system, we fermented Plant Complete with shiitake mushrooms for better absorption and digestibility.
Running
Long jogs, high-intensity sprints, running hills - you’re a superhuman and your body deserves to be fueled like one too. Like all physical activity, having a stomach full of food or liquid before starting never ends well. That’s why we created a workout stack that includes a minimal amount of products to keep you light on your toes and finish your workout feeling your best. Drinking electrolytes before and during your run will support hydration while a plant based protein after your run will fuel your muscles to recover and grow. This stack is designed to minimize fatigue and cramps while running. After all, you’ve got PRs to hit.
Hydro-Fuel:
Running, especially in the hot summer months, can deplete your body of nutrients and electrolytes. Hydro-Fuel is formulated with a 72 trace mineral complex, coconut water concentrate, and malic acid to help replenish what’s lost during your run. The coconut water concentrate is a natural way to replace lost electrolytes without all of the added sugars. Plus, 6 essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and chloride) are added to help you finish your workout.
Plant Complete Protein:
Most runners are wary of building muscles, and some even avoid protein and macros for fear of adding mass. But consuming protein after any sort of muscular strain (including running!) is a huge part of recovery. Improper nutrition can be a huge detriment to recovery and sometimes even lead to injury. Plant Complete is a vegan protein created with rice and pea protein to give you a complete amino acid profile. To make things easier on your digestive system, we fermented Plant Complete with shiitake mushrooms for better absorption and digestibility.
Hiking
For the outdoor enthusiast who sees nature as their gym, we’ve got a workout stack for you too! Hiking can be just as strenuous on your body as a conventional workout. These products are here to help your body stay hydrated and support a proper recovery so you can get back out there.
Muscle BCAA:
It’s important to fuel your muscles during your workout and support recovery afterwards. Sourced solely from plants, our Muscle BCAA complex is a 2:1:1 ratio of three essential amino acids that are broken down in muscles rather than the liver to serve as energy for muscle tissue. Muscle BCAA also includes a probiotic, vitamin C, citrulline malate, malic acid and coconut water concentrate that support hydration and muscle recovery.
Hydro Fuel:
A summer hike in the heat can deplete you of electrolytes and dehydrate you. Replenishing these key electrolytes can be the difference between summiting a peak or turning around early. Hydro-Fuel has ingredients like coconut water concentrate and trace minerals to hydrate your body and keep the headaches and muscle cramps at bay.
Plant Complete Protein Powder:
When it comes to supporting muscle recovery and growth, a post workout protein shake is a good place to start.

Muscle recovery is made simple with Tart Cherry, too. The anthocyanins in cherry-extract are may help soothe overworked muscles and promote muscle recovery.
Boxing
Whether you box for an upper body workout, a form of cardio or to let off some steam, boxing requires lots of mental and physical toughness. That’s why this workout stack contains supplements that will support energy and recovery.
N.O. Pro:
Boxing is all about who drops first. That’s why fighting muscle fatigue is a must. N.O. Pro is formulated with L-Arginine HCl, which may support faster muscle recovery and fight muscle fatigue. Beetroot is also an important ingredient in N.O. Pro that supports blood flow which results in more energy during your workout.

Extras for your Stack:
Pairing supplements with your workouts is a great way to form a recovery routine that will last, but that’s not the only thing! A healthy lifestyle revolves around proper nutrition, daily movement and good sleep. To feel recovered after each day of movement, try these extra supplements that support a good night’s rest and a healthy skeletal system.
Driftoff:
To get ultimate recovery during a good night’s rest, your body must first be able to fall asleep. Driftoff is a calming blend of adaptogens that may help support normal healthy sleep cycles. L-tryptophan, melatonin and GABA are combined with an herbal blend for a relaxing, non-habit forming sleep aid.
Collagen Peptides:
A strong skeletal system is the foundation of any movement. Exercise can put a massive demand on our bones and joints as well as our muscles.
