OUR STORY
I've been training my entire adult life and took almost every pre-workout along the way. As I learned more and more about ingredient profiles and started investigating nutrition labels, I kept running into the same questions:
Why am I buying creatine separately?
Why are industry gimmicks still so prevalant?
Why do I need to take 400mg of caffeine to get clinical doses?
Why do I always crash a couple hours after my workout?
Why are so many formulas oriented towards powerlifting?
Why are some compelling ingredients left off the table?
Why does everything taste like gross candy?
I started experimenting with making my own pre-workout -- focusing on proper dosage of the essentials, adding some game changers, and having a realistic stim profile for people who don't want to affect their productivity or sleep.
SEEING RESULTS
The first thing I noticed taking an actual clinically dosed stack was the clarity, energy and great mood that carried with me throughout my day. I felt more productive at work and started noticing I was less distracted in the gym. Whether it was the nootropic benefits or just the impact of not taking a dangerous amount of caffeine at once - I FELT so much better.
Then I really started seeing my body change. I was already in pretty good shape, but I truly accelerated to the best shape I've ever been in. Obviously a variety of factors go into body composition - but I was able to push myself harder, recover faster, and aid my body in battling oxidative stress.
A GAME CHANGING PRODUCT
After a while, weighing ingredient after ingredient got old (not to mention, tasted AWFUL). I reached out to a lab to see if I could get a small batch made for my friends and I but found the minimum order quantities were just unrealistic.
That's when I thought to myself that maybe there are other people looking for a product like this - something straightforward, clinically dosed, science backed and oriented to support their holistic health goals.
After vetting a few partners I finally found the right US lab to perfect the formula and present it to you.
If you are someone who wants real results from their pre-workout, a diverse formula that doesn't cut corners, with sustainable energy and cognitive enhancement - try Wave.

Creatine
Supplement FACTS
Creatine is arguably the most proven and well-researched ingredient for maximizing athletic performance. It has been shown to improve muscle strength and power, muscle mass, and anaerobic endurance.
In a review of 22 studies, scientists found the average increase in muscle strength at 1, 3, or 10 repetition maximum was 8% greater than placebo. Similarly, max repetitions at a fixed weight increased by an average of 14% vs. placebo. Improvements in 1RM were observed up to 45%.[1]
In addition to its profound muscular and exercise benefits, Creatine has been shown to improve brain function in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.[2]
Contrary to some popular beliefs and wide-ranging misconceptions, Creatine is overall very well-received by the body with no well-documented side effects or considerations.[3] Given it has some of the most compelling data in sports science, be wary of products that proudly claim they are creatine-free.
Beta-alanine
Supplement FACTS
Responsible for the ‘tingling’ sensation you get from pre-workouts, Beta-Alanine is another well-researched and proven supplement for athletic performance.
Beta-Alanine has been shown to significantly augment muscle carnosine concentrations, which helps delay muscle fatigue, according to the International Society of Sports Nutrition.[4] Since combatting fatigue is essential to helping athletes maximize their training results, beta-alanine is arguably the most omnipresent ingredient in pre-workout formulas.
The ISSR arrived at their conclusions based on 4-6g ingested daily. However, many of the most popular pre-workouts on the market include as little as 1.6g of Beta-Alanine in their formula.
Our formula includes the ISSR recommended 4g of Beta-Alanine, ensuring taking Wave will help you reach the supplemental floor, while trying to limit the paresthesia (tingling sensation) as much as possible.
L-Citrulline
Supplement FACTS
Citrulline is an amino acid that is found naturally in certain foods, such as watermelon, and has been well studied for its potential benefits in athletic performance, recovery and cardiovascular health.
A study showed that six grams of Citrulline can improve blood pressure, Vo2 kinetics, and exercise performance in healthy adults[5].
Another study also showed 8 grams of Citrulline Malate decreased muscle soreness[6].
While both L-Citrulline and Citrulline Malate have been tested for results, we opt to include L-Citrulline since malic acid has not been definitively shown to augment positive results. Many supplements will include Citrulline Malate as a way to inflate the perceived amount of Citrulline on a label. We have included 8g of L-Citrulline, which is industry leading, and well below 15g doses that have been safely tested.
Ashwagandha
Supplement FACTS
Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It is classified as an adaptogen, meaning it can help the body manage stress. In addition to (or in light of) these properties, Ashwagandha has also produced very compelling clinical data for boosting athletic performance and testosterone levels (in men).
In an 8-week, randomized, double blind and placebo controlled study 600mg of daily Ashwagandha intake drove significant increases in muscle strength, muscle size, and testosterone levels – while showing reduction of exercise-induced muscle damage and body fat percentage[7]
Another double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a 600mg daily dosage showed a substantial reduction in cortisol levels and significant decreases in stress-assessment scales[8].
Despite compelling data for both training and holistic health benefits, we are one of the only companies including it in a pre-workout formula.
Our KSM-66® Ashwagandha comes from the most reputable source on the planet, with a proprietary full-spectrum extraction process from roots only.
Acetyl-l-carnitine
Supplement FACTS
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a form of L-Carnitine that passes easily through the blood-brain-barrier. Carnitine is a compound that aids energy metabolism in the mitochondria, and ALCAR specifically is known as a nootropic with neuroprotective and antioxidative benefits.
A 2018 study showed 1.5g of Acetyl-L-Carnitine produced significant positive changes in cognitive assessments for dementia patients[13] Psychiatrists have also noted that Acetyl-L-Carnitine plays an antidepressant role by improving brain energy metabolism, regulating neurotransmitters, and neural plasticity.[14]
L-theanine
Supplement FACTS
L-Theanine is an amino acid primarily found in tea leaves, particularly in green tea. When combined with caffeine, Theanine has been proven to reduce caffeine’s effect on blood pressure, without significantly affecting alertness or mood[9].
Furthermore, Theanine is well researched as a standalone supplement, and has significantly reduced acute stress responses in trials[10]. It has also been shown to improve immune function and has positive effects on sleep quality, cancer, and obesity.[11][12]
Given its comprehensive health benefits, in addition to working well with caffeine to provide a calmer focus, we included 300mg of Theanine to meet the 2:1 Theanine:Caffeine ratio used in trials for cognitive performance. This amount also meets or supersedes the trial dosages for Theanine as a standalone supplement.
Caffeine
Supplement FACTS
Caffeine is one of the best-researched supplements on the planet. Its benefits are well-known which is why it is consumed daily around the world.
We included 150mg of caffeine in our formula, which is roughly equivalent to a medium cup of coffee. This provides a sustainable boost well above dosages proven out in trial, while keeping you on pace to consume less than the 400mg recommended by the FDA.
Many pre-workouts have 300mg of caffeine or more. Not only can this cause unnecessary heart rate spiking, but often comes with a ‘crash’ several hours later that LEAVES you feeling lethargic and can contribute to an unhealthy caffeine habit. Individual tolerance to caffeine varies significantly, but combined with the L-Theanine in our formula, we hope that Wave gives you a clear and sustainable focus.
