OptygenHP
First Endurance
Overview
OptygenHP combines several ingredients with research supporting their roles in endurance performance. The doses for Cordyceps, Rhodiola, and Beta-Alanine are within effective ranges, suggesting potential benefits. However, the 'Actigin Proprietary Matrix' and 'Atpro Matrix' are proprietary blends, which makes it impossible to verify the individual ingredient dosages within them, thus introducing some uncertainty regarding their efficacy.
The Good
Optimal Doses for Key Adaptogens: Cordyceps (800mg) and Rhodiola (300mg) are present in clinically studied ranges for endurance, oxygen utilization, and fatigue reduction.
Effective Beta-Alanine Dosing: The 1500mg of Beta-Alanine is an effective dose to support carnosine levels, buffering lactic acid and improving high-intensity exercise capacity.
Targeted for Endurance Athletes: The ingredient profile is specifically chosen to address common performance barriers for endurance sports.
The Bad
Proprietary Blends: The presence of 'Actigin Proprietary Matrix' and 'Atpro Matrix' (containing Panax Notoginseng, Rosa Roxburghii, Calcium Pyruvate, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, and Ribose) hides the exact dosages of these ingredients, making it difficult to assess their individual efficacy.
Potential Underdosing of Proprietary Ingredients: While Rhodiola, Cordyceps, and Beta-Alanine are well-dosed, the 50mg 'Actigin Proprietary Matrix' is considerably lower than studied doses for its components (e.g., Panax Notoginseng, Rosa Roxburghii), likely rendering them ineffective for their purported benefits.
Calcium Pyruvate, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, and Ribose in the 'Atpro Matrix' (500mg total) are also likely underdosed for significant effects based on individual ingredient research, which often requires grams, not milligrams, for efficacy.
