Check out what Myoblox has to say about Skywalk here.

Skywalk™ is an incredibly versatile product, designed for anyone looking to increase their focus and increase productivity. Skywalk™ can be used for everything from a replacement for your morning cup of coffee or energy drink to increase your productivity, studies, or even amp-up a gaming session.

Here at VitaKea we prefer Skywalk served with ~500ml water and liberal amounts of ice, to sip on over 30 minutes or so. We find this provides the both the best drinking experience as well as cognitive benefit.

Read on for a rundown on each of the ingredients in Skywalk, provided by the team at MYOBLOX.

L-Tyrosine:

This amino acid is a forerunner of two of the most important neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine. It enhances working memory and executive function through chemical signalers in the prefrontal cortex. A quintessential limitless nootropic, it can increase focus, internalized motivation, boost inspiration of creative flow, and enhance a state of wellbeing through cortisol reduction.†

Alpha-GPC 50% (Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine):

Derived originally from lecithin, L-Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (αGPC, choline alfoscerate) is a phospholipid metabolite found in neuronal membranes. Unlike other forms such as Choline Bitartrate, Alpha GPC is the most superior precursor to acetylcholine has been shown to be well absorbed, easily crossing the blood-brain barrier to support the synthesis and emission of Acetylcholine. Enhanced acetylcholine levels have been linked to sharper memory, mental drive, focus and lucid REM sleep states.†

L-Theanine:

A mood-boosting nootropic that has favored effects on focus, mental drive, anxiety and depression reduction without inducing drowsiness. Some of L-Theanine’s most powerful mental effects are created by limiting the neurochemicals which can contribute to stress reactions and mental clarity reduction. By calming these over-stimulating chemicals, L-Theanine benefits can promote feelings of relaxation, tranquility and a zen-like wellbeing. So even as the caffeine in skywalk packs a smooth punch, L-theanine cushions it by relaxing and calming the mind. – Truly a perfect balance of ying-yang.†

RealCaf ™ (Caffeine from Green Coffee Beans):

Caffeine is a stimulant xanthine alkaloid compound. By this property it does not technically qualify under the definition of a nootropic, but it has been extensively documented to improve mental performance. This widely used compound works by targeting chemical receptor sites located in the brain stimulating the central nervous system. By this stimulation, the release of key neurotransmitters such as dopamine are increased, which is a powerful brain chemical that activates pleasure centers within the brain. The dopaminergic activity of caffeine is a key reason why you attain concentration, and a feeling of wellbeing. The benefit using our RealCaf ™ (non-gmo natural caffeine) opposed to the industry standard of the notorious ‘crappy caffeine anhydrous’ is that the separation process is a more clean, gentle and has been reported by many users that it possesses a “smoother feel” compared to caffeine anhydrous. Do yourself a favor and see how much better you feel on RealCaf ™ - You will become a fan.†

Velvet Bean Extract (Mucuna Pruriens):

Velvet Bean has been long studied and has been shown to increase levels of adrenergic hormones Norepinephrine and Epinephrine, which are responsible for numerous effects such as motor control, immune function, energy levels and even healthier sleep cycles when in a sleep state. As a nootropic, Velvet Bean is used to combat anxiety and depression while enhancing concentration, focus and mood.†

Hordenine HCL:

Supporting the release of powerful neurotransmitters that support the elevation of mental energy, mood and focus, hordenine is truly a synergist when it came to formulating the Skywalk™ formula! Hordenine is also able to cross the blood brain barrier where it can act as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO) via attaching to certain receptor sites in the brain. By this function it is able to help prevent loss of focus, crashing energy levels and also stress.†

N-Methyltyramine

By stimulating the release of Norardrenaline, a neurotransmitter involved in the ‘flight or fight’ response, which in turn will enhance focus and have a mild stimulating effect. N-Methyltyramine (NMT) can also increase the activity of dopaminergic, adrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmitters, which can play a role in mental energy, mood and contribute antidepressant-like effects.†

Huperzia Serrata (as Huperzine A):

Huperzine A is the active compound found in a species of fir clubmoss (Huperzia Serrata). This compound has a powerful inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AchE), an enzyme responsible for degrading the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach) thus boosting acetylcholine levels and preventing oxidative stress in cholinergic neurons. The action of this herbal extract can contribute to learning, memory, and reduce impairments associated with neurological disease.†

B6 (as Pyridoxal-5’-Phosphate [P5P]:

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is absolutely critical for brain function. Unfortunately it is poorly assimilated, and for this reason we utilized the most novel form of B6 called ‘Pyridoxal Phosphate’ (P5P) because it is the most active form in the body. This super-co-factor is utilized in energy metabolism processes in your cells as well as in the synthesis of several different neurotransmitters such as Acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and Melatonin. These chemicals carry signals from one neuron to another, igniting our thoughts, memory encoding, information consolidation, focus, feelings, and both conscious and unconscious movements. Low levels of B6 in the body can lead to decreased cognitive ability, lack of focus, low energy, and brain tissue shrinkage, which can even lead to Alzheimer’s. Attaining adequate amounts of b6 from diet or supplementation can help boost communication between brain cells and even prevent certain types of neuron damage due to aging.†

B12 (as Methylcobalamin):

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin, which has a key role in the normal functioning of the brain, nervous system, formulation of blood, and the metabolism of every cell in the human body. However, not all cobalamins are equal in effectiveness and because of this fact, we had to utilized the most active form of B12 known as methylcobalamin. The nootropic benefits from this novel co-factor range from neuron development and maintenance as well as cognitive processes related to memory, learning, attention span and overall alertness. This compound can also rebuild damaged nerves and contributes to the maintenance of function that is normally decayed during the aging process.†

BioPerine® (Black Pepper Extract for Piperine):

Derived from peppercorns from Piper Nigrum Plants, Bioperine® is a patented extract that is used as a bioavailability enhancer of numerous nutrients via stimulation of the digestive tract.†

The STACK3D Review

"Brain Gains Nootropic Brain Fuel is one of the best focus products we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. Not only does it very noticeably work, but it comes through with a complete focus experience like no other. It elevates your mental game better than almost every other competitor in the category and is well worth picking up."

KeaLad Recommendations for Usage

As you can see above, most of the nootropic dosages are quite generous, and it is for this reason that the VitaKea Team would recommend using only one scoop at a time. Best enjoyed with ~350ml water + ice. It won't keep you up at night, so afternoon usage is fine, though for maximal gains, sip on it sometime in the morning. Not about that luxurious water and ice life? Well rest assured... Brain Gains is dry-scoop-to-the-dome approved by Lloyd @thecavenutritionstore! 🤣 Flavour wise, Mango, Watermelon and Strawberry Kiwi are all absolutely stellar. 

On the One or Two scoop debate:
From our own usage we find that the noticeable cognitive value seems to be nearly equal when we supplement a single scoop as opposed to two, and this way you'll get more Gains for your dollar... doubling the number of servings per tub (20 serves @2Scoops; 40 Serves @1Scoop). IF you are really keen to take it up a notch, you can also try splitting your servings across the day. Eg. One in the morning, One in the afternoon.
And as per usual, remember that you are a unique human being, with any supplement we recommend you experiment to find your own personal sweet spot dosage and go with that!

The 1st Ever Focus Stack With AWARD-WINNING Zynamite

TOTAL FOCUS is here to provide sustained mental and physical energy and focus, without causing the jitters. This is the power of TOTAL FOCUS. 

The last time we came out with a product was in 2017, three years ago. So, when we make a product, we mean business. We have a simple mission: Help people get more sh*t done. AZOTH 2.0 was the staple to accomplishing that, but for those who want to take their focus to the next level, TOTAL FOCUS will be an untouchable add-on.

When looking for focus supplements, consumers have had to choose either for shots and drinks which are filled with harmful ingredients, cause jitters, headaches, and other side-effects or for healthier alternatives which are so watered down, that they don’t do anything. TOTAL FOCUS is the result of a five year long global research quest for the next-generation mental & physical energy ingredient that delivers on effectiveness and health.

In America alone, 400 million cups of coffee are consumed per day. It should not come to any surprise that the $122B supplement industry has been using caffeine heavily in their products and has been working overtime to find a powerful replacement for the drug.

Four years ago, after noting the worrying global trend of increasing adverse reactions from excessive consumption of highly caffeinated products, Nektium's R&D and innovation team began a global search for a safe and effective ingredient that could not only replace caffeine, but be superior to caffeine.

The challenge? A research imperative to find rapidly acting botanical extract with nootropic and sports performance activities, free of cardiovascular and other side-effects, and without addictive and tolerance potential.

Nektium's research team was led by Dr. Nigel Gericke, and involved extensive reviews of the international ethnobotanical literature, of the uses of plants in the traditions of Ayurvedic Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and reviews of Nektium's own ethnobotanical records from European, Russian, Amazonian, and African plants.

The result: Zynamite, a specialized extract from Mango Leaves which notably showed precisely but remarkably similar activation activity to caffeine in studies of brain electrical activity, with one caveat: it acts selectively.

While caffeine antagonizes adenosine receptors, Zynamite acts non-selectively to stimulate brain activity. The key active, mangiferin acts non-selectively to modulate multiple physiological and CNS targets.

What does this mean? Simple: while Zynamite can increase levelf of mental energy, cognition, and concentration, it may do so without increasing levels of cortisol - which then equates to fewer (if any) side effects usually caused by caffeine.

This hypothesis was rigorously tested.

The Studies: Zynamite Delivers
Zynamite has been studied in 4 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials - 2 for mental energy and 2 for sports performance.

In the first study, twelve physically active young men took a combination of 140mg Zynamite® + 50mg luteolin every 8 hours, and after 48 hours, they performed repeated bicycle ergometer Wingate sprint tests. Mean power output was increased by 5–7% compared with placebo (Figure 1).

In a follow-up confirmatory study, 30 young athletes (13 women and 17 men), 140mg of Zynamite was administered every 8 hours for 48 hours, but this time in two separate combinations: 50mg luteolin and 600mg quercetin.

The combination of Zynamite pre workout capsules with quercetin increased peak power output by 19.4% compared to placebo. Both formulations increased mean power output by 6% during repeated ergometer Wingate tests. Zynamite® improved VO2 peak by 5%, with a corresponding increase in brain oxygenation of 10–12% in women.⁷ (Figure 2)

The results from these two studies demonstrated that formulations containing Zynamite have an even stronger effect than those published for caffeine, in addition to a significant improvement in peak power output.

Zynamite's Effects on Mental Energy
The next two studies focused on mental energy. The first used a single dose of 500mg of in 16 participants (7 men and 9 women).

The study showed that Zynamite significantly reduced fatigue after only 1.5 hours, analyzed with the Profile of Mood States questionnaire (POMS). Zynamite reduced stress during the Calculation Performance Tests, evidenced by Galvanic skin response. (Figure 3)
Zynamite had no side effects and no change in heart rate variability or blood pressure over the course of the study-variables typically affected by caffeinated products.

During performance of two cognitively demanding challenges, a Number Sequence Test (NST) and a Number Connection Test (NCT), Zynamite® had a significant activating effect on the brain compared to placebo as determined by frequency analysis of the changes in electrical activity across six brain wave frequency ranges (colour coded) in the EEG of the association cortex (change from time-averaged baseline assigned as 100%) ; significance values: ** p<0.05, *** p<0.001. (Figure 4)

In a nutshell, what the team at Nektium was able to accomplish - was to finally decrease the dillemma of sacrificing health and levels of well-being for temporary increases in focus and energy. This is truly groundbreaking.

This is why, Zynamite has won the 𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝗪𝐀𝐑𝐃 in both 2018, and 2019 and awarded the Frost & Sullivan New Product Innovation Award in 2019 and holds over ⁣𝟒 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, and has been tested in over 𝟕 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 and included as scientific evidence in over 𝟓 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. ⁣⁣⁣

AZOTH & ZYNAMITE
Last month, AZOTH LLC became the first supplement company to directly source and distribute Zynamite in North America in its product, TOTAL FOCUS which futher includes PurCaf, and a clinical dose of Rhodiola Rosea.

The Zynamite found AZOTH is batch tested, tested for purity, metals, and the purest form of Zynamite in the industry.

Users of Total Focus can expect intense levels of deep focus, prolonged energy, and maximum concentration unlike everything ever made available in the supplement industry.

In 2017, we pioneered AZOTH 2.0 and took the industry by storm. In 2020, we pioneered TOTAL FOCUS and are once again re-affirming our commitment for total human productivity.

Strength and Honor,

WHO WE ARE

Ambrosia Nutraceuticals is a collective effort formed in 2015 by three respected industry leaders of the health and fitness industry; Marc Lobliner, Mike Rashid, and Sean Torbati. The three founders of Ambrosia represent professional athletes, professional body builders, and an expertise in everything health and fitness related. Ambrosia is propelled by the spirit of innovation and progression. Marc Lobliner popularized the category of BCAA with his breakout product Xtend. Sean Torbati similarly created the category of NAD+ supplementation by being the first to commercialize a brand new ingredient, Nicotinamide Riboside. Mike Rashid pioneered the concept of "Overtraining" and "Mental Jewels" making him perhaps the only wellness/fitness expert to focus nearly entirely on the mental aspect of physical training and personal development. Collectively, all of this experience has come together to form a new entity. Ambrosia is greater than any individual member, and is poised to change our entire approach to health, wellness, and mental growth.

WHAT WE DO

Ambrosia is a solution based company that is founded on a very unique and purposeful concept. That concept is known as bio-hacking. This is a term that is relatively new to the mainstream - but is well known to the elite of the business world - especially executives in Silicon Valley and other tech hotspots. Bio-hacking in our sense is the exploration and pursuit of obtaining more from our brains and our bodies through the usage of novel and innovative nutraceutical compounds and self-growth techniques. Ambrosia aims to develop products and simultaneously educate about all approaches and ideas related to unlocking our highest potential.

WHY WE DO IT

We do this because of passion. We have a passion for unlocking the absolute limits of the human body; and we fully believe we can produce breakthrough natural products that allow us to get more out of our minds and bodies than we ever previously thought possible. Ambrosia Nutraceuticals was formed to take the human body to the next level using real science and independently researched ingredients. This is not your normal supplementation, but an approach to unlocking the most out of your potential.

KeaLad Serving Suggestions:

*** For the new flavour Keto Orange Juice, just mix with cold water to taste is our best recommendation - do not make the mistake of trying it hot! Also goes well with unflavoured yogurt and muesli for a tasty breakfast. ***

One of the big reasons the VitaKea crew are such a big fan of Ritual-AM Keto Coffee is its extreme versatility in how it can be used. Ritual-AM can be a great choice for a low-caffeine coffee replacement, and serves well both iced or hot. However our very favourite use is certainly as a supplement to a coffee, levelling it up to a creamy, fatty, biohack-ery treat! 

You may note that we recommend only half a scoop when mixing into a coffee which does contradict the Ambrosia serving suggestion. This is because Ritual-AM is quite a sweet supplement, and we find that a full scoop in a normal size coffee is often a bit rich for our kiwi taste preferences. 

We have also tested it out in keto baking and pancake recipes... which go down absolutely superb! We'll be sure to post some of our recipes on the blog soon. :)

I hope you enjoy, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!
