Powerful support for both mind and muscle, built into every scoop.

Taurine is a key ingredient in your MitoMix™ pre-workout formula, and its inclusion is backed by both science and real-world performance benefits. Here’s a breakdown of why taurine is a smart addition:

Benefits of Taurine in MitoMix™

1. Cellular Hydration and Electrolyte Balance

• Taurine acts as an osmolyte, helping cells maintain fluid balance.

• This improves hydration at the cellular level, which is critical during intense workouts.

• Better hydration = improved endurance, reduced cramping, and optimal muscle function.

2. Neuroprotective & Cognitive Support

• Taurine modulates GABA receptors, promoting a calming effect on the brain without drowsiness.

• Helps reduce mental fatigue and enhance focus—perfect for keeping your head in the game during training.

3. Cardiovascular Support

• Taurine has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve vascular function.

• It promotes better blood flow, complementing the nitric oxide–boosting effects of citrulline and arginine in the formula.

4. Mitochondrial Function & Antioxidant Support

• Taurine helps stabilize mitochondrial membranes and may improve energy production (ATP).

• It also scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting muscles from oxidative stress during and after training.

5. Muscle Endurance and Recovery

• Studies show taurine can reduce muscle damage and soreness after exercise.

• It’s especially useful in high-intensity or long-duration training, where oxidative stress and metabolic fatigue are high.

Bottom Line:

Taurine in MitoMix™ isn’t just filler—it’s a multitasker that enhances hydration, protects your brain and heart, supports mitochondrial energy, and helps you recover faster and train longer.

Why Choose the 3:1:2 BCAA Ratio?

1. Higher Leucine Drives Muscle Protein Synthesis

• Leucine is the key anabolic trigger among the BCAAs.

• It activates mTOR, the pathway responsible for initiating muscle protein synthesis (MPS).

• A higher proportion of leucine (3 parts) ensures that your formula prioritizes this anabolic response, especially around workouts.

2. Isoleucine for Glucose Uptake

• Isoleucine supports glucose uptake into muscle cells, increasing endurance and energy availability during exercise.

• It helps maintain blood sugar stability and supports energy during prolonged sessions—but doesn’t drive MPS as strongly as leucine.

3. Valine for Central Fatigue Reduction

• Valine competes with tryptophan for entry into the brain, reducing serotonin production, which may delay fatigue during extended workouts.

• This helps promote mental endurance and physical stamina.

Why Not Use a 2:1:1 or 4:1:1 Ratio?

• 2:1:1 is considered "balanced" and has been widely studied, but may under-deliver on leucine for those focused on hypertrophy.

• 4:1:1 or higher ratios of leucine can be overkill and less effective when isoleucine and valine are underrepresented—this can impair endurance and glucose regulation.

Bottom Line:

3:1:2 offers a high-leucine advantage for muscle building, while still giving meaningful support from isoleucine and valine for endurance, recovery, and anti-fatigue benefits. It’s ideal for:

• Athletes in training

• Aging adults seeking muscle preservation

• Anyone stacking it with other amino-rich products like protein or creatine

Why We Include HMB in MitoMix™

HMB (Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate) is one of the most underappreciated compounds in sports nutrition—but for those who train hard or want to preserve muscle as they age, it's a game changer.

HMB is a natural metabolite of the amino acid leucine, which is well-known for triggering muscle protein synthesis. But where leucine starts the building process, HMB helps protect what’s already there. It plays a critical role in reducing muscle protein breakdown, making it especially valuable during periods of intense training, caloric restriction, or aging—when muscle preservation is just as important as muscle growth.

MitoMix™, we include HMB to support:

• Recovery – By minimizing post-exercise muscle damage, HMB helps reduce soreness and accelerates recovery between sessions.

• Strength Gains – HMB has been shown to improve gains in strength and endurance when used consistently, especially when paired with resistance training.

• Lean Muscle Preservation – For those in a cutting phase, managing body composition, or over age 40, HMB helps defend against muscle loss while supporting fat metabolism.

• Synergy with BCAAs and Creatine – HMB works alongside other ingredients in MitoMix™ to amplify recovery, strength, and performance benefits.

Whether you're an athlete pushing your limits, a weekend warrior working toward better fitness, or simply someone looking to stay strong and resilient with age, HMB is a critical ingredient in protecting the muscle you work so hard to build.

It’s one more reason MitoMix™ delivers results that last—inside and outside the gym.

Why We Include L-Arginine in MitoMix™

L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid with a powerful role in physical performance, recovery, and cardiovascular health. In the context of a pre-workout like MitoMix™, it serves as a direct precursor to nitric oxide (NO)—a molecule that helps dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.

Increased nitric oxide means greater blood flow to muscles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients during workouts. This contributes to better endurance, reduced fatigue, and improved pump, all while supporting efficient recovery.

MitoMix™, L-Arginine is included to support:

• Nitric Oxide Production – For enhanced vasodilation, blood flow, and muscular endurance during training

• Nutrient Delivery – Improved circulation helps shuttle glucose, amino acids, and oxygen to muscle tissue more efficiently

• Cardiovascular Health – Supports healthy endothelial function and circulation, especially during high-intensity exercise

• Synergy with Citrulline – When combined with Citrulline-Malate (also in MitoMix™), arginine’s effects on nitric oxide are sustained longer and work more efficiently

The result is a formula that not only helps you train harder and recover faster, but also supports overall vascular and cellular health.
L-Arginine is one of the key drivers behind the energy, performance, and recovery benefits you feel with every serving of MitoMix™.

Why We Include L-Citrulline (as Citrulline Malate 2:1) in MitoMix™

L-Citrulline is one of the most effective and well-researched pre-workout ingredients available, known for its ability to boost nitric oxide levels, enhance blood flow, and delay muscular fatigue. In MitoMix™, we’ve chosen the Citrulline Malate 2:1 form—meaning two parts L-Citrulline to one part DL-Malate—for a powerful synergistic effect that benefits both performance and recovery.

Unlike L-Arginine, which is rapidly broken down in the digestive tract, L-Citrulline is more efficiently absorbed and converted into arginine in the kidneys. This leads to more sustained nitric oxide production, resulting in longer-lasting pumps, increased endurance, and improved delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles.

We use Citrulline Malate 2:1 because it goes a step further:

• DL-Malate (malic acid) plays a vital role in the Krebs cycle, the cellular process that generates ATP—the body’s energy currency.

• The combination of citrulline and malate helps fight muscle fatigue, enhances aerobic energy production, and improves overall training output.

In MitoMix™, Citrulline Malate 2:1 supports:

• Greater nitric oxide production for enhanced blood flow and vascularity

• Reduced muscle soreness and improved post-exercise recovery

• Boosted energy metabolism by supporting mitochondrial function and ATP production

• Enhanced performance and endurance in both resistance and aerobic training

Citrulline Malate 2:1 is a cornerstone of the MitoMix™ formula, chosen not just for pump—but for performance that lasts. Whether you're lifting heavy, sprinting hard, or chasing longevity, this ingredient fuels the power and stamina your body needs.

Why We Include L-Glutamine in MitoMix™

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and plays a critical role in muscle recovery, immune function, gut health, and overall metabolic support. During intense training, glutamine levels can become rapidly depleted, which may impair recovery and muscle repair if not replenished.

That’s why MitoMix™ includes L-Glutamine—to support the body’s recovery systems and maintain a strong physiological foundation for consistent training performance.

In the context of a pre-workout formula, L-Glutamine may seem like a recovery ingredient—but its benefits start before the workout begins. By maintaining optimal intracellular levels of glutamine, the body is better equipped to manage exercise-induced stress and support muscular endurance and immune resilience.

MitoMix™, L-Glutamine helps:

• Reduce muscle breakdown during and after intense exercise

• Accelerate muscle recovery and support lean mass preservation

• Maintain immune system function, especially under physical stress

• Support gut integrity and reduce post-exercise inflammation

• Enhance nitrogen balance, critical for protein synthesis and tissue repair

While glutamine is naturally produced in the body, training, stress, and aging can outpace the body’s ability to synthesize enough, making supplementation essential for athletes and anyone pushing their physical limits.

Glutamine in MitoMix™ helps ensure that your recovery keeps pace with your performance—so you can train again, harder, and smarter.

Why We Use Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is one of the most studied and effective supplements in sports and exercise science, renowned for its ability to increase muscular strength, power, endurance, and recovery. It works by replenishing phosphocreatine stores in muscle cells, which are essential for rapid ATP production during high-intensity activity. But not all creatine is created equal.

At Atomic Energy, we use pure, micronized creatine monohydrate—the gold standard form supported by decades of research. Micronization means the powder has been mechanically reduced to smaller particles, improving its solubility, mixability, and absorption compared to standard creatine. This minimizes stomach discomfort and maximizes bioavailability without the need for loading phases or complex delivery systems.

We chose creatine monohydrate over other forms (like creatine ethyl ester or buffered creatine) because none have demonstrated superior results in head-to-head clinical studies—yet they often cost more or contain unnecessary additives. Our creatine is 100% pharmaceutical-grade, free of artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, and manufactured to meet the highest purity standards.

Whether you're lifting, sprinting, or simply seeking improved recovery and cognitive energy, our micronized creatine monohydrate delivers clean, proven performance—without compromise.
