AlphaFury
Alpha Fury is one of the many diet supplement produced by Bioquest. Alpha Fury is designed specifically to be taken before a workout and to improve you energy and muscle pump during a workout. In this way, you can workout longer and harder to maximize your results and get the body you’ve been looking for. Alpha Fury’s marketing makes a lot of claims that I’d like to investigate in this review, so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to buy it.
Alpha Fury Ingredients
As with most diet supplements, there are a wide variety of ingredients in Alpha Fury, but the top two or three are the most important. Alpha Fury’s top three ingredients are GlycoCarn, beta alanine, and caffeine.
GlycoCarn – This is a great ingredient that has been proved in multiple clinical studies to improve exercise performance. It has other health benefits, such as being rich in antioxidants, but we’re mainly focused on it’s exercise qualities. The clinical studies showed that when used in 4.5 gram dosages, GlycoCarn increases plasma nitrate level (which leads to vasodilation and more effective blood flow to your muscles), reduces blood lactic acid levels (allowing you to work through the burn), and overall improves endurance during high intensity workouts. Alpha Fury uses this exact dosage of 4.5 grams in one serving, so kudos there.
Beta Alanine – This ingredient has been shown to increase carnosine in muscles (carnosine buffers the effect of lactic acid), decrease fatigue in athletes and increase total muscular work done.
Caffeine- Perhaps the most common pre-workout ingredient, this will cause an increase of energy.
Alpha Fury Side Effects
There aren’t too many significant side effects associated with Alpha Fury. GlycoCarn probably has more positive side effects than negative, considering it will improve antioxidant capabilities in your body. Their are always potential side effects associated with 300 mg of caffeine, such as headaches, jitters, irritability, and a big crash after your workout, but that is going to be associated with most pre-workout pills.
You could make the argument that lactic acid is present in your body for a reason (preventing you from an overuse muscle injury), and therefore having a buffer to mask lactic acid will eventually lead to muscle injury. However, there have been no reports that beta alanine predispositions you to muscle injury.
Does Alpha Fury work well enough to buy?
Alpha Fury works well enough to buy…if you can find it for a decent price, which is hard to do. Amazingly, Alpha Fury retails for $82.95 for a container that only has 20 servings! Wow , that is more than $4 a serving, and is definitely not worth it. Now most places are selling it for $41.95 (dramatic 50% reduction) but even that is still pretty expensive for a supplement that will last less than a month. The drop in price has made it more reasonable to buy, but there are products out there that are just as effective, last longer than a month, and cost about the same. Another point worth mentioning is that our top rated products come with a much better money back warranty, because Alpha Fury lacks in that area.
