Olympus Labs ENDUR3 Review – The Promise
Olympus Labs has been busy and after a very successful launch of RE1GN, the company launched a new Intra-Workout product under the name ENDUR3. The formula includes three matrixes, each of which has been designed to fulfill specific functions and expectations which all are specifically focused on helping you endure long & exhausting workouts. So, without further ado, let us dive into the details of these three blends (If you are not into reading, jump right to the bottom line at the end of this post or just watch our VIDEO review)
WHAT’S IN IT & WHY
Muscle Protein Synthesis (Maximum mTOR Igniting BCAA Matrix)
This is the secret behind the power and drive that come from ENDUR3 BCAA. The Maximum mTOR Igniting BCAA Matrix of ENDUR3 BCAA contains 10g of InstAminos BCAAs and 2g of Velositol. The basic purpose of this formula is to spur up the Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) process of your body. A complete breakdown of the matrix is given as follows:
InstAminos BCAAs
ENDUR3 BCAA contains 10g of InstAminos BCAAs. Not all BCAAs were created equal. InstAmino BCAA is a trademarked super high-quality BCAA with real 5g Lucine serving! For those who do not know, is a group of branch chained amino acids namely: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are of utmost importance in Muscle Protein Synthesis and preventing the muscles from degradation. The breakdown of the three amino acids in ENDUR3 BCAA is your classic 2:1:1 ratio. These three amino acids need to be consumed in adequate quantities in our daily diets to ensure that the muscles do not breakdown and all of your hard work is not wasted. Leucine, in particular, is extremely effective for this purpose. The 5g dosage of leucine is the clinically prescribed levels and is bound to keep those muscle gains of yours intact.
Velositol
ENDUR3 BCAA’s Maximum mTOR Igniting BCAA Matrix contains 2g of Velositol. This amount of Velositol is there to complement the InstAminos BCAAs, improving the Muscle Protein Synthesis process by 25%.
ENDUR3 BCAA appears to have all bases covered when it comes to Muscle Protein Synthesis and muscle preservation.
Muscle Recovery—Fatigue Destroying Matrix
Most fitness enthusiasts will tell you that fatigue is their worst enemy. Fatigue is what hinders you from putting in that last set in order to maximize your gains. ENDUR3 BCAA, however, has taken steps to ensure that fatigue will not be as big of a problem as it once was. Here’s how:
L-Glutamine
Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is produced and contained in the body. Its quantity within the human body is abundant, but during intense workouts our glutamine reserves get depleted, causing fatigue. The 2g dose of Glutamine contained in ENDUR3 BCAA ensures that you will glutamine to spare even if your reserves get depleted. This will ensure that you do not fall victim to fatigue.
Taurine
ENDUR3 BCAA’s Fatigue Destroying Matrix contains 1g of Taurine. Taurine is an amino acid that is known to reduce muscle soreness and cramps. It is not produced in adequate quantities by our bodies, rendering it necessary to take such supplements that ensure that your body can benefit from all that taurine has got to offer. Clinically, ENDUR3 BCAA should have more Taurine, however, to ensure hypotrophy of muscles results in better gains, this lack is overcome by the addition of VitaCherry to the mix.
VitaCherry
ENDUR3 BCAA contains 480mg of VitaCherry. Made from tart cherries, the given quantity of VitaCherry serves as an antioxidant in order to reduce muscle inflammation. It also ensures that you won’t suffer from those painful joints after your workouts.
Maximum Hydration Matrix
Sessions of intense workouts often result in fluid loss which detriments your exercise performance and causes you to simply blank out at times. This dehydration often requires more than just water to get rid of and that is where ENDUR3 BCAA’s Maximum Hydration Matrix comes in. It contains such minerals that are essential for your body to perform without fatigue and cramps. These electrolytes ensure, that you are able to get every last bit out of your workout routine.
ENDUR3 Best Flavors (and what do these names mean!)
Confused by the Olympus Labs ENDUR3 Naming conventions? Trying to figure out what to expect? We’ve got you covered. Here’s a simple guide to the ENDUR3 flavors and their inspiration:
-
ENDUR3 Dragons Mist– Blue Pop
-
ENDUR3 Tropical Thunder– Mango Punch
-
ENDUR3 Snake Venom– Passionate Fruit Juice
-
ENDUR3 Krusherz– Orange Gusher
-
ENDUR3 Unicorn Blood– Skittle Candy
Ok, with that out of the way – let’s move on! With a serving size of over 16g, one could be concerned with how do you keep the flavor in check. Well, we tried all 5 ENDUR3 flavors, and they are all solid! Our personal favorite was Snake Venom (what a crazy name) followed closely by Dragon Mist & Tropic Thunder, but frankly, you can’t go wrong with any of the ENDUR3 Flavors.
Our Personal Experience & The Bottom Line
Olympus Labs brought with ENDUR3 a complete Intra-Workout package. It is very hard to imagine anything that you would add to this formula. And our personal experience matches the label. You definitely feel the enhanced recovery and the ability to extend yourself that extra rep and the fact ENDUR3 tastes great doesn’t hurt! Obviously, we can’t attest to the 25% increase in Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS), but the research behind this claim is solid. The bottom line is, that as we write this review, it is clearly a serious contender to get into our best Intra-Workout list.
The only thing you might take into consideration is the price point which at $39.99 for 30 servings is at the high end of the ‘designer Intra Workout’ products (but still, not the most expensive Intra Workout out there). But of course, that’s why we are here 🙂 Go ahead and check out our price comparison page for the ENDUR3 to find the best price around and maybe a HOT deal!
