Peak MSK Powder is formulated around the intersection of connective tissue health and skeletal muscle recovery. At the core is a 12g dose of hydrolyzed collagen peptides. Controlled human trials show that collagen peptide supplementation, especially when taken around loading exercise, increases biomarkers of collagen synthesis and improves joint pain and function in active populations.

For muscle, the formula delivers leucine-rich EAAs at dosages shown in dose-response studies to meaningfully activate muscle protein synthesis. A 3.8g leucine threshold sits comfortably above the reported MPS leucine trigger across the literature, and BCAAs round out the amino profile for training support.

Pomegranate polyphenols provide nitric oxide and antioxidant support that has been associated with attenuated exercise-induced muscle damage in human trials. Bovine colostrum is one of the most studied bioactives in athletes, with evidence for gut barrier integrity, immune modulation, and improvements in recovery markers during high training loads.

Human data show collagen and gelatin peptides can increase markers of collagen synthesis around loading exercise, supporting the rationale for connective-tissue focused nutrition. Collagen peptide supplementation is associated with improvements in joint pain and function across multiple studies in active and clinical populations.

EAAs are required building blocks for muscle protein synthesis, and controlled human studies show EAA dosing can meaningfully stimulate muscle anabolism. Taurine and glutamine add complementary recovery support, with evidence suggesting glutamine can attenuate exercise-induced muscle damage in certain eccentric-heavy protocols.

At the core, L-Citrulline and Nitrosigine® (a bonded arginine silicate) work synergistically to support nitric oxide production. L-Citrulline enhances NO bioavailability and blood flow, an effect shown in clinical trials to support both athletic performance and erectile function. Nitrosigine® has been demonstrated to improve endothelial function, vascular elasticity, and muscle pump.

Testosterone and vitality are further addressed with a trio of adaptogens: Tongkat Ali, Panax Ginseng, and Maca Root. Multiple placebo-controlled trials show Tongkat Ali raising free testosterone, lowering cortisol, and improving libido. Panax Ginseng is clinically associated with enhanced sexual performance and reduced fatigue, and Maca Root has been associated with libido and semen quality improvements through neuroendocrine-mediated pathways.

Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium) contains icariin, a natural PDE5 inhibitor shown to support erectile function by enhancing nitric oxide signaling. Red beet root provides additional nitrate-driven NO support for circulation and endurance.

Marine collagen, rich in low-molecular-weight Type I peptides, has been shown in multiple randomized controlled trials to enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle appearance over 6 to 12 weeks of daily use. Oral hyaluronic acid has consistently increased skin moisture, boosted elasticity, and diminished wrinkle depth across double-blind human studies. Together they plump and rejuvenate the skin matrix from within.

Biotin supplementation has shown clinical improvements in nail hardness and plate thickness in participants with brittle nails. Bamboo-derived silica is linked to collagen formation and improved structural beauty in skin, hair, and nails. Aloe vera extract modulates inflammatory markers and supports collagen synthesis.

The tea base contributes polyphenol-rich protection against oxidative stress and environmental aging through flavonoids and catechins that support cellular health and skin resilience.

Lion's Mane stimulates Nerve Growth Factor expression, which plays a key role in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Randomized controlled trials have shown daily supplementation can improve memory and cognitive performance over 8 to 16 weeks. Ginkgo biloba has consistently demonstrated benefits in working memory, attention span, and processing speed, especially under conditions of mental fatigue.

Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogen shown to reduce cortisol, sharpen concentration, and minimize mental exhaustion after as little as two weeks of use. Yerba mate and matcha deliver a synergistic caffeine and L-theanine pairing that enhances focus, reaction time, and accuracy in cognitive tasks, confirmed in multiple human studies.

The tea base provides antioxidant-rich polyphenols that have been shown to modulate oxidative stress, reduce neuroinflammation, and support neurovascular integrity. Together, these ingredients support both immediate mental clarity and long-term brain vitality.
