INGREDIENT RESEARCH
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA.
INTELLEKT is built around transparent dosing, evidence-informed ingredients, and formulas that make sense on the label. This page collects research references for the key ingredients used across our performance, pump, hydration, and high-stim products.

HOW TO USE THIS PAGE
Research does not matter if the dose is hidden.
This page is not here to bury you in study links. It is here to show the thinking behind the ingredients we use and why transparent labels matter. A study-backed ingredient only means something when the dose is clearly disclosed.
01
Transparent Labels
No proprietary blends. No hiding doses behind “matrix” names. Every active ingredient should be clear.
02
Purposeful Ingredients
Each ingredient should support a specific role: energy, focus, performance, hydration, pump, endurance, or recovery support.
03
Evidence-Informed Formulas
We prioritize ingredients with meaningful sports nutrition research and practical use in real training environments.

ENDURANCE / PERFORMANCE
Beta-Alanine
Beta-Alanine is commonly used to support muscular endurance and high-intensity exercise performance through its role in carnosine levels.

Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched sports nutrition ingredients and is commonly used to support high-intensity performance, strength, and power output.
ENERGY / FOCUS
Caffeine
Caffeine is widely researched for energy, alertness, focus, and exercise performance. Individual tolerance varies, so stimulant products should be used responsibly.
FOCUS / COGNITION
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is commonly included in performance formulas for focus and cognitive support, especially in demanding training or high-stress environments.
POWER / OUTPUT
Betaine Anhydrous
Betaine is commonly used in performance formulas for strength, power, hydration-related osmolyte support, and training output applications.
PERFORMANCE / HYDRATION
Taurine
Taurine is commonly used in sports nutrition formulas for endurance, hydration-related support, and overall performance applications.
HYDRATION
Electrolytes
Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and other electrolytes help support hydration, fluid balance, and performance during sweat-heavy training.
