Preparing to exercise is just as important as the exercise itself. The body’s muscle, cardiovascular system and brain need to prepare for the intensity to come.

That’s why EFECTIV™ Sports Nutrition, Staffordshire, England, created EFECTIV™ PWO, its pre-workout energy and focus activator. Rolling out in distribution across Europe, this new nutritional powder is anchored by Cognizin® Citicoline to stimulate the mind-muscle connection.

EFECTIV™ PWO combines 250mg of Cognizin®, along with other vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids in each 5.6g dose. The product comes in a variety of flavors such as Arctic Grape, Blackcurrant and Strawberry Lime. It is suitable for vegetarians and is gluten free.

The brain is an integral part of any workout. It provides the focus and attention needed to lift weights or power through agility exercises. EFECTIV™ PWO relies on Cognizin®, a branded form of citicoline, to help enhance communication between neurons, maintain normal levels of acetylcholine, protect neural structures, and enhance health brain activity and energy.

Citicoline is a compound that promotes the production of phosphatidylcholine (phospholipids), important for brain function. Phospholipids make up approximately 30% of brain tissue, aid neural communication and provide essential protection for neurons. Clinical research has shown that citicoline has multiple applications and is able to improve various aspects of the brain’s physiological activity.
