Apollo’s Hegemony Stim Punch is advanced pre-workout preparation. Its active ingredients show synergistic action in increasing energy levels, intensifying the muscle pump, and promoting effective muscle regeneration and anabolic changes.
Beta-alanine is a natural amino acid that increases the concentration of carnosine in skeletal muscles. The main advantage of carnosine is its effect on reducing fatigue and muscle soreness. Carnosine buffers the pH, preventing its reduction due to the production of lactic acid in the muscles during exercise.
HydroMax™, or glycerin, thanks to its hygroscopic properties, improves muscle hydration, and thus increases their volume and helps to achieve powerful vascularization. Optimal muscle hydration also improves their blood supply and nourishment, which supports the subsequent regeneration and synthesis of muscle proteins.
Agmatine is an arginine derivative, which performs neuromodulatory functions. It shows an inhibitory effect on NMDA and imidazoline receptors. The result of this action may be an improvement in mood and motivation, as well as neuroprotection. Agmatine increases sensitivity to stimulants, thanks to which it may protect against developing tolerance and intensify the effect of stimulating ingredients of the product. Besides, it may intensify the effect of the muscle pump.
Caffeine is a purine alkaloid that blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, leading to an increase in the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, and acetylcholine. It shows stimulatory effects and may improve exercise tolerance. A great complement to caffeine is L-theanine, which promotes a feeling of relaxation as well as increased concentration and alertness.
Dynamine™, or N-methylberberine is a purine alkaloid that provides a quick and strong stimulating effect, which additionally promotes fat burning processes. N-phenylethyl dimethylamine performs a similar function – apart from stimulatory effect, it also offers an improvement in aerobic fitness and reduced soreness.
L-tyrosine is an amino acid that is a precursor for the synthesis of stimulating neurotransmitters – adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. It supports optimal energy metabolism, antioxidant defense, as well as mental and physical well-being.
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a plant that has adaptogenic, anti-stress, and potentially anti-depressant properties. It is a source of mesembrine, which shows the ability to inhibit serotonin reuptake and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE 4) enzyme.
Choline is part of the cell membranes of all body cells and is necessary for the synthesis of acetylcholine.
AstraGin™ is a blend of saponins isolated from Astragalus membranaceus and Chinese ginseng (Panax notoginseng), which improves the bioavailability of nutrients and supports muscle glycogen regeneration. It also supports gut and immune system health.
To sum up, Apollo’s Hegemony Stim Punch is a unique and extremely effective preparation that supports many aspects of training. The product is recommended primarily to improve sports performance, especially in strength and endurance disciplines, and during periods of increased training intensity.

Alanine is an endogenous amino acid (i.e. having the ability to synthesize the human body other amino acids and pyruvate), building up protein. It has a key role in the transport of nitrogen between the muscles and the liver (i.e. Cahill cycle). It allows to transform glucose in non-sugar compounds. During prolonged exercise it enhances metabolism. It occurs in products of animal origin (meat, dairy, eggs) and vegetable origins (legumes, peas). It is used in the form of amino acid supplements in pre- and post-workout preparations. It complements the BCAA. Increased use of supplements with alanine is required in athletic training when high strength and endurance is required (e.g. weights lifting athletes marathon runners etc.).
Agmatine sulfate is a compound of agmatine, and hence the substance resulting from the processing of arginine.
It meets the body's range of functions, including increases levels of nitric oxide responsible for vasodilation and thus improves blood circulation. It stimulates the release of growth hormone and testosterone. It increases the amount of nutrients delivered to the muscles, and normalizes blood glucose levels, thereby mimicking the operation characteristic of insulin; improves the functioning of the central nervous system; fights free radicals; reduces depot body fat, and also affects the metabolism of calcium, thus providing a better functioning of the heart, brain and muscles.
Dosage: 500-1500 mg, the best half an hour before training.
Choline bitartrate a combination of one molecule of tartaric acid and choline, and in this embodiment is a precursor of acetylcholine (neurotransmitter). The human body is able to intracellular synthesis of choline, using the amino acid and vitamin B12. Because of the possibility of shortages of the above mentioned substances, it is necessary to supplement them with supplementation. Choline is a component of lecithin, which is the building substance of cells conditioning the proper functioning of the nervous system, and sphingomyelin, acting as an insulator of nerve tissue. Bitartrate affects the course of fat metabolism. In the sports supplementation of choline, bitartrate is used in the stimulating supplements,, affecting concentration and programs of weight control (fat reduction).
Dosage: 1-3 grams per day.
Tyrosine - endogenous amino acid (synthesized within the body), one of the 22 protein amino acids building. It occurs naturally in animal food products (eggs, dairy, meat). If the deficiency, it can be synthesized by hydroxylation of phenylalanine, capable of being converted to tyrosine in the liver. It is a precursor of neurotransmitters: dopamine (the group of catecholamines, participating in the processes occurring in the nervous system, causing muscle coordination and participates in the synthesis of many hormones) and noradrenaline (counteracting stress, stimulating the heart and circulatory system, and increasing glycogenolysis and lipolysis participating in the processes of energy transformations). Tyrosine is a precursor of thyroid hormones responsible for the rate of change in metabolic processes and pigment (melanin). In the supplementation, preparations containing tyrosine are used in programs reducing body fat (weight loss), improve mood and are stimulants.
Dosage: Customarily 500-2000 mg per day.
Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, 1-methylotheobromine) is a purine alkaloid occurring in the natural state in plants (Coffea arabica, Camelia sinensis, Paulinia cupana, Ilex paraguariensis), which acts as a natural pesticide, acting toxic to insects. Peculiar smell and taste also deters herbivores. Caffeine in the body inhibits the adenosine receptors in the brain, fighting fatigue and allowing for action activation. It has a beneficial effect on the metabolism of oxygen, which increases the exercise capacity (strength and endurance) and rapid post-workout recovery. In the sports supplementation, caffeine is used as a stimulant nervous system. It has the thermogenic potential and in combination with other substances (e.g. Polyphenols, both occurring in coffee beans, such as cocoa beans, tea leaves and mate) can effectively participate in the reduction of body fat. It is included in many dietary stimulants (creatine stacks, no-boosters, beverages). It is a component of fat burners. It is also in the form of mono-preparation supplements.
Dosage: 100-600 mg per day. Due to the long release of activity should not be used in the evening, before sleep.
L-theanine is an amino acid, not building proteins, occurring naturally in the dried green tea leaves, absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, overcomes easily blood-brain barrier, affecting the nervous system and the relation between neurotransmitters (e.g.dDopamine, serotonin, gamma-aminobutyric acid), with a relaxing effect and increases the psycho-physical capacity, (concentration, memory, alertness). Recommended for use for people burdened with considerable physical effort, athletes of sport disciplines that require concentration and memory, also for students in the period before exams. Available in the form of mono-preparations and multi-component relaxing and post-workout anti-stress supplements..
Dosage: customarily used in supplementation 50-200mg per day
Astragin is a patented formula, which increases the absorption of amino acids, sugars and vitamins. With insulin sensitivity, it helps to lower blood sugar levels, increasing glycogen reserves up to several dozen percent. It contains natural ingredients, that are extracts of ginseng and astragalus. It is a part of sport diet supplements in the form of pre-workout creatine stacks, amino acid products and so-called "testosterone boosters."
Dosage: 50 mg per day.
