Why Historic Labs Uses AstraGin®?

At Historic Labs, we focus on scientifically backed formulations that help athletes "Become Historic" by maximizing performance, endurance, and recovery. One of the key ingredients we use is AstraGin®, a patented blend of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus developed by NuLiv Science. AstraGin® is clinically researched to enhance nutrient absorption, improve gut health, and boost nitric oxide production—key factors in optimizing performance and recovery.

We included AstraGin® in our Historic Labs Pre-Workouts to ensure that every essential nutrient is absorbed efficiently, leading to better endurance, muscle growth, and overall digestive health. But what makes AstraGin® such a game-changer? Let’s break it down.

1. What is AstraGin®?

AstraGin® is a clinically studied absorption enhancer that increases the bioavailability of amino acids, peptides, and vitamins. It works by promoting a healthy intestinal environment, allowing the body to absorb nutrients more efficiently and maximizing the effectiveness of every supplement.

Research indicates that AstraGin® enhances the uptake of key performance nutrients such as L-arginine, citrulline, and creatine, ensuring optimal muscle function and endurance. (Huang et al., 2023)

2. What Does AstraGin® Do?

Enhances Nutrient Absorption:

• Improves Amino Acid Uptake – Studies show that AstraGin® increases L-arginine absorption, a crucial amino acid for nitric oxide production and muscle function. (Lin et al., 2023)
• Boosts Glucose Uptake – AstraGin® promotes glucose transporter activity, improving muscle glycogen replenishment for sustained energy. (Chang et al., 2007)
• Optimizes Protein Synthesis – AstraGin® enhances mTOR pathway activation, crucial for muscle growth and recovery. (Lee et al., 2017)

Supports Gut Health:

• Strengthens Intestinal Barrier – AstraGin® improves gut lining integrity, reducing inflammation and supporting digestion. (Lin et al., 2023)
• Regulates Gut Microbiota – Clinical trials show that AstraGin® helps balance gut bacteria, promoting a healthier digestive system. (Wang et al., 2015)

Boosts Athletic Performance:

• Increases Nitric Oxide Production – AstraGin® enhances L-arginine absorption, leading to improved blood flow and endurance. (Huang et al., 2023)
• Supports ATP Production – AstraGin® enhances cellular energy metabolism, reducing fatigue and promoting sustained performance. (Lin et al., 2023)

3. Why We Use AstraGin® in Historic Labs Pre-Workouts

At Historic Labs, our formulas are based on our five pillars; Performance, Endurance, Energy, Focus, and Pump. AstraGin® aligns perfectly with our mission by ensuring optimal nutrient absorption, improving digestion, and enhancing blood flow for better performance and endurance.  

Historic Labs Pre-Workout

Our daily driver pre-workout features AstraGin® to optimize amino acid and nutrient uptake, ensuring maximum performance benefits with each dose.

Historic High-Stim Pre-Workout

For those who demand intense energy and sustained focus, our high-stim formula incorporates AstraGin® to accelerate nutrient absorption and get the tingles faster.

Historic Non-Stim Pre-Workout

For stimulant-free training, our non-stim pre-workout utilizes AstraGin® to enhance recovery, endurance, and muscle function without caffeine.

Historic Thermogenic Pre-Workout

Our thermogenic formula leverages AstraGin® to support fat metabolism, improve energy levels, and enhance workout efficiency.

4. Research-Backed Performance Enhancement

A study published in Food Science and Technology Research found that AstraGin® significantly improved L-arginine absorption and nitric oxide production, key factors for cardiovascular health and endurance. (Huang et al., 2023)

Additional findings include:

• Enhanced protein and amino acid absorption, promoting muscle growth and faster recovery. (Lee et al., 2017)
• Increased gut health markers, reducing inflammation and improving nutrient transport. (Wang et al., 2015)

These findings confirm why we included AstraGin® in Historic Labs Pre-Workout—it delivers real, research-backed nutrient absorption and performance benefits that help athletes reach peak performance.

5. How to Take AstraGin® for Maximum Effect

For optimal results, we recommend 50 mg of AstraGin® per serving, as included in all Historic Labs Pre-Workouts. This dosage ensures:

• Enhanced absorption of key nutrients like amino acids and vitamins
• Better digestion and gut health
• Improved endurance and energy production

The Historic Labs Difference

At Historic Labs, we prioritize scientifically formulated supplements that enhance performance, endurance, and recovery. AstraGin® represents our commitment to providing cutting-edge nutrient absorption and gut health solutions.

Whether you’re an elite athlete, fitness enthusiast, or high-performance professional, AstraGin® helps you Make every workout Historic by maximizing nutrient uptake and optimizing digestive health.
