For too long, we've had to make the choice: PERFORMANCE or CONVENIENCE. Brands in our space have shied away from producing a product this luxurious because of profit scarcity...
GOOD THING WE NEVER PUT PROFIT FIRST.
You could settle for average. You could remain passive in the face of an overwhelming onslaught of convenience and hedonism.
But if you do, you will never gain anything, including the youthful athleticism required to carry the march of Man forward. This requires a level of commitment and drivenness uncommon to the Common Era.
Peace, love, and friendship have their place. They just have to be backed by the Force of Arms. This isn’t the Shire.
Nothing is more routine and demoralizing than a boring, low-energy workout: short bursts of effort followed by going limp and scrolling TikTok for 5 minutes until your next set. It’s slow, it’s weak, and you end up counting the plaster cracks in the ceiling more than working your muscles.
Admit it: the best workouts of your lives felt like a frenzy. Muscles bulging with exertion, heart thundering in your chest, and veins pulsating with effortful ecstasy. This is how man was made to lift.
Introducing DVST8 Dark, fresh from the labs at Inspired and ready to power your workouts into a new spiritual dimension.
Our formulators have strived to distill this high-octane, relentless energy into powder form. By the time your sets are done, the productive devastation on your muscle-tissues will be undeniable.
DVST8 launches an artillery barrage of 5 powerful blends directly at your body to invoke the perfect environment for growth to occur. Every aspect of performance is in the crosshairs
We commence our assault with THE TRUTH MATRIX, a powerful shirt-ripping pump blend that will have you ballooning like a blimp during your movements. Through nitric oxide amplification and quenching your cells’ thirst, you’ll have the bloodflow you need to rock through your sets.
We begin with 6,000 skin-ripping milligrams of L-Citrulline Malate (2:1), an amino acid that plays an integral role in the urea cycle and in cardiovascular health.[1-3] Once in the body, citrulline is converted into arginine, which then goes onto become nitric oxide.[4,5] There is perhaps no better ingredient on the market for promoting vasodilation, and therefore stimulating blood flow in the muscles.
L-Citrulline is backed up in DVST8 by 2,000 milligrams of NO3-T Nitrate's, a two-pronged pump ingredient we've seen in other Inspired formulas, shown to provide wicked blood flow, vasodilation, and pumps.[6] Nitrate converts to nitric oxide with one pathway, and while arginine is a nitric oxide precursor in another. The Betaine Nitrate adds in a hydrating element to this plethora of pump.
DVST8 won’t allow you to settle for short bursts of intensity, followed by lounging around. The ENDLESS blend targets your endurance – letting you last as long as you need to squeeze every last rep in.
This blend starts with the classic 3,200 milligram dose of beta alanine. The source of that famous tingling effect, beta alanine is most importantly an endurance booster. It’s a building block of carnosine, a molecule that buffers lactic acid in muscles.[8] This means less fatigue, and more reps.
While all of that energy is great, you’re setting yourself up for a major crash and burn if your cells aren’t receiving the hydration they need to function.
We begin, of course, with the most recognizable electrolyte: salt. While salt gets a bad rep, it is absolutely vital for maintaining proper hydration. With a bold dose of 500 milligrams of Pink Himalayan Salt, we’re certainly not at risk of sodium deficiency as we pound the weights.
Now here’s where we bump up the volume. The STIMULATED REALITY IGNITION matrix targets your energy levels starting at the fundamental cellular level.
This is where you’ll really feel it. You’ll feel the stimulation coursing through your nerve endings in a crescendo of fire.
Packed with a powerful 400 milligrams of caffeine coming from 325 milligrams of smack-you-in-the-face caffeine anhydrous and 100 milligrams of Infinergy dicaffeine malate (which yields ~75mg caffeine), DVST8's DARK blend sets itself up to be one of the more formidable energy-shots on the market, without going over the top.
CognatiQ, formerly known as NeuroFactor, is a coffee fruit extract designed to contain high levels of bioactive constituents that promote the expression of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). You can think of BDNF as fertilizer for your brain – it helps promote the birth maturation of new neurons, even in aging (adult) brains. Jacking up BDNF production is a popular biohacker strategy for optimizing brain health and function.
Exercise is one of the best ways to increase your body’s production of BDNF – and at the same time, BDNF can help your body adapt to exercise. A 2022 research review concluded that “during exercise stimuli the BDNF contributes directly to strengthening neuromuscular junctions, muscle regeneration, insulin-regulated glucose uptake and β-oxidation processes in muscle tissue.” BDNF can also help increase metabolic flexibility, your cells’ ability to burn either carbs or fat for energy, depending on the situation.
As intense as DVST8 is on the physical front, we’re not mindless barbarians. More like cultured crusaders. The MIND/MUSCLE SYNC MODULE is the key to unlocking your brain just as much as your muscles.
N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is an amino acid that critically manages the stress induced by intense training and body recomposition. As a precursor to neurotransmitters like dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is a must-have for any stack aimed at improving focus, energy, and motivation.
Choline is an essential nutrient for proper organ function in general,but our interest lies in its role as a substrate for acetylcholine, also referred to as the “learning neurotransmitter”. Helping to signal muscle contractions, acetylcholine is responsible for an enhanced mind-muscle connection during training sessions.
DMAE dl-bitartrate also belongs to the cholinergic family. It’s structurally similar to choline, and can further help improve memoryand may enhance concentration. In addition, there is some evidence to suggest that it can improve mood and overall sense of well-being.
There is no need to stack 10 different tubs of powders before each workout -- we stacked it for you. From pumps and energy to hydration and mental acuity -- and dark-sided aggression -- we’ve hit it all.
Just two quick scoops and your engines will be firing on all cylinders, ready to make your warrior ancestors proud.
DVST8 Dark is not a pre-workout for the faint-hearted. It is not meant to be a blend for gentle stimulation. If you want that, go for a cup of tea.
DVST8 Dark is for those times when you really need to enter the zone – even to let it overwhelm you on your way to battle. At the end of your workout, you may look back and not even realize what hit you.
But your body knows. Every single ingredient included in DVST8 Dark was tailored to transform your body and your mind into a machine. All you have to do is what comes naturally: give the machine a task, and unleash it.
As a dietary supplement, mix 1-2 scoops of DVST8 Dark with your favorite cold beverage and consume 30 minutes prior to training. For best results, use with 1-2 servings of FSU Serum (or your favorite non-stim pump product).
