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.
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.
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.
