One of the most underrated skills in any industry is being comfortable saying:

"I don't know."

The moment we think we know everything is usually the moment we stop learning.

Some of the best things I've learned in nutrition started with a question I couldn't answer immediately.

Curiosity will always take you further than ego.

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Tribulus Terrestris

Source: A traditional botanical extract rich in steroidal saponins, particularly protodioscin, which is believed to be the most important active constituent.

🔑 Key Benefits

Supports libido and sexual wellbeing

May support healthy DHT activity

Supports motivation and drive

Traditionally used for vitality and performance

Often stacked in male health formulas

🧬 What Is Tribulus Terrestris?

Tribulus terrestris is one of the most well-known ingredients in the testosterone-support category. However, modern research has largely challenged the original bodybuilding claim that it significantly increases testosterone in healthy men.

What matters most is not simply the total saponin percentage on the label, but the amount of protodioscin, the specific steroidal saponin thought to drive many of Tribulus' benefits.

Two products may both claim "90% saponins" while containing very different levels of protodioscin.

⚙️ How It Works

Tribulus appears to work primarily through mechanisms other than direct testosterone elevation.

Research suggests it may:

Support dopamine signalling involved in motivation and libido

Influence nitric oxide pathways involved in blood flow

Support healthy DHT activity in certain individuals

Enhance sexual desire and performance

This helps explain why many users report improvements in libido, confidence, and wellbeing despite little or no measurable increase in testosterone levels.

📏 Optimal Dosage

Typical daily doses range from:

500-1500mg daily

When possible, look for extracts standardised for protodioscin content, rather than focusing exclusively on total saponins.

🔥 Recommended Stack

One of the most popular pairings is:

Tribulus Terrestris + Anacyclus pyrethrum

This combination is commonly used in advanced male vitality formulas due to their complementary effects on libido, drive, and reproductive health.

🧠 Practical Takeaway

Tribulus is best viewed as a libido, vitality, and motivation ingredient, rather than a true testosterone booster. The most effective products are often those standardised for meaningful levels of protodioscin, not simply the highest sapo

People often mistake optimisation for maximisation.

It could be more caffeine, more testosterone, more supplements or more training.

But optimisation isn't about seeing how much you can cram into the system.

It's about finding the amount that produces the best outcome with the fewest downsides.

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Citicoline (CDP-Choline)

Source: A highly bioavailable choline donor used to support cognitive performance, focus, and long term brain health.

🔑 Key Benefits

• Supports focus, memory, and cognition
• Increases acetylcholine production
• Supports brain cell membrane integrity
• May support dopamine signalling
• Commonly used in nootropic and focus formulas

🧬 What Is Citicoline?

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is a compound made from choline + cytidine. Once absorbed, cytidine converts into uridine, which plays a major role in brain cell repair, phospholipid synthesis, and neuronal health.

Unlike fast acting stimulants, Citicoline is often viewed as more of a foundational cognitive support ingredient.

⚙️ How It Works

Citicoline primarily works by increasing acetylcholine, one of the brain’s most important neurotransmitters for:

• Focus
• Learning
• Memory
• Cognitive processing

It also supports production of phosphatidylcholine, a key structural component of brain cell membranes.

Research suggests Citicoline may additionally support:

• Dopamine receptor density
• Brain energy metabolism
• Long term cognitive resilience

📏 Optimal Dosage

Typical doses range from:
250-500mg daily for cognitive support
500-1000mg+ in advanced nootropic formulas

Just a quick review of the new Focusmax RTD cans by Strom, and I actually really like the approach with this one.

No fillers, just 5 ingredients that each have a clear purpose:

120mg Natural Caffeine for smooth energy.

250mg Citicoline for focus and mental clarity.

200mg Uridine Monophosphate for cognitive support and mood

1g L-Tyrosine for dopamine/adrenaline support under stress.

25mg Senactiv® for recovery.

Lightly carbonated too, so you don't get that bloated feeling that some drinks give you.

Personally, I think this hits a really nice balance between energy, mood elevation, focus and mental resilience.

And with the weather we're having at the moment, I can actually see this replacing coffee for a lot of people.

For now, I have the Pineapple Coconut 🍍🥥 

For later... I'm going to take the p**s 🌈😂

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Lemon Balm

Source: A traditional herb derived from Melissa officinalis, commonly used for relaxation, sleep support, and nervous system balance.

🔑 Key Benefits

• Supports relaxation and calmness

• May reduce stress and anxiety

• Supports sleep quality and recovery

• May improve mood and cognitive performance

• Supports nervous system balance

🧬 What Is Lemon Balm?

Lemon Balm is a member of the mint family and has been used for centuries to support mood, relaxation, digestion, and sleep. Its main active compounds include rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and various volatile oils.

⚙️ How It Works

Lemon Balm appears to influence the GABA system, the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter pathway.

Research suggests it may:

• Reduce breakdown of GABA by influencing GABA-transaminase

• Promote a calmer nervous system state

• Help reduce feelings of stress and overstimulation

Unlike strong sedatives, Lemon Balm is often described as promoting a calm but functional state, which is why it appears in both sleep and stress support formulas.

📏 Optimal Dosage

Typical doses range from:

• 300-600mg for relaxation and stress support

• 600-1200mg+ in sleep focused formulas

Effects may become more noticeable when combined with other calming ingredients.

One thing I hear quite a lot is that TRT “makes men more sociable”.

Personally, I don’t think it’s that simple.

Idon’t think testosterone suddenly changes your personality or turns introverts into extroverts.

What I think it can do is remove some of the obstacles that stop you from being yourself.

If low testosterone has been affecting mood, confidence, energy, motivation, or emotional stability, then restoring healthy levels may allow more of the real person to come through again.

For some men, that may look like becoming more sociable, but for others, it may simply mean feeling more comfortable in their own skin, more emotionally stable, and more confident setting boundaries.

TRT shouldn’t turn you into somebody else, it should help you feel more like yourself again.

One thing I’ve said before about high stim pre workouts is that they shouldn’t become your daily baseline.

Honestly, I think the same mindset applies to strong sleep formulas too, especially the melatonin heavy ones.

A lot of products contain melatonin in milligram doses, even though the body naturally produces it in much smaller amounts.

That doesn’t automatically make high dose products “bad”, but personally, I think stronger sleep aids make more sense when used strategically, either occasionally, or at a much lower dose than the full serving.

Right... I finally did it 👀

Per4m Whey Tikka Masala and Thai Green Curry taste test!

Honestly, the Thai Green Curry was actually FAR more bearable than expected.

The Tikka Masala on the other hand...

Right, here’s the problem:

These probably would work really well as high-protein curry seasoning mixes. Mixed into food, they would be great, but as an actual shake?

Who in their right mind nails a jar of Patak’s curry sauce as a shot?

Absolutely unacceptable behaviour 😂

How do Tikka Masala and Thai Green Curry find their way into protein powder before Black Forest Gateaux and Chocolate Honeycomb though? 🤔

We’ve just had 3 new flavours of Applied Nutrition Liquid L-Carnitine land in store, bringing the total up to 6.

If you’ve never used L-Carnitine before, here’s the simple version:

It helps transport fatty acids into the part of the cell where energy is produced. So it’s not directly “burning fat, but it is helping your body use fat as a fuel source more efficiently.

You’ve also got added green tea extract for mild metabolic support, and vitamin C for overall health and recovery.

This is one of those supplements that works best when everything else is already in place consistently.
