Knockout Punch Signature Series Flavor Drops

Vitamin C (90mg as PureWay-C) – 100% DV

ElectraShred uses PureWay-C, a bioavailable vitamin C complex combining ascorbic acid with lipid metabolites (fatty acids) and citrus bioflavonoids. This formulation addresses standard ascorbic acid’s primary limitation: rapid elimination before reaching cells.

The lipid metabolite complex protects vitamin C during digestion and facilitates cellular membrane crossing, while citrus bioflavonoids provide antioxidant support and stabilize the formulation. Research shows PureWay-C delivers 233% higher cellular retention than standard ascorbic acid after 45 minutes.[1]

In a human clinical trial, PureWay-C achieved significantly higher serum vitamin C levels than ascorbic acid at two hours (2.17 mg/dl vs 1.64 mg/dl, p=0.05) and maintained superior absorption throughout 24 hours. Beyond absorption, supplementation reduced inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein dropped 15.6% and oxidized LDL decreased 8.4%.[2]

The 90-milligram dose provides full daily vitamin C requirements while supporting immune function and antioxidant protection during training without the digestive discomfort higher doses can cause.

Calcium (50mg from Calci-K) – 4% DV

Calcium plays fundamental roles in skeletal muscle function beyond its widely known bone health benefits. This essential mineral serves as the primary signal triggering muscle contraction through excitation-contraction coupling.[3] When an action potential reaches muscle fibers, voltage-dependent channels facilitate calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, initiating the interaction between actin and myosin filaments that generates muscular force.[4]

Calcium regulates both the initiation of contraction and the relaxation phase, making proper calcium availability critical for optimal muscle performance. The mineral also influences nerve transmission, ensuring efficient communication between the nervous system and muscle fibers.[3] During exercise, calcium losses through sweat can disrupt homeostasis, and pre-exercise calcium supplementation has been shown to attenuate disruptions to calcium balance.[5]

ElectraShred provides 50 milligrams of calcium from Calci-K, a highly bioavailable source combining calcium with potassium. This synergistic combination supports both muscular function and electrolyte balance simultaneously, making it ideal for active individuals focused on performance and body composition.

Magnesium (125mg from Multiple Sources) – 30% DV

Magnesium stands as one of the most critical minerals for active individuals, supporting over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.[6] The mineral plays essential roles in muscle function, energy production, and electrolyte balance during physical activity.

ElectraShred delivers 125 milligrams from multiple sources including magnesium bisglycinate chelate. This chelated form offers superior absorption compared to inorganic forms like magnesium oxide, as the amino acid glycine protects magnesium from binding to absorption-inhibiting compounds in the digestive tract.[7] Research shows the bisglycinate form can be absorbed intact through amino acid transporters, providing enhanced bioavailability especially valuable during periods of increased demand.

During exercise, magnesium becomes particularly crucial. The mineral regulates muscle contraction and relaxation through its role in calcium transport and intracellular signaling.[8] Research involving professional cyclists found that magnesium supplementation improved muscle function and lowered markers of muscle damage during intense training periods.[9]

Magnesium also supports cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and promoting healthy blood vessel function.[6] Additionally, the mineral plays a vital role in ATP synthesis, providing the energy currency required for muscle activity and performance.[8]

Athletes and physically active individuals require 10-20% more magnesium than sedentary people, making supplementation especially valuable during training.[10] Combined with ElectraShred’s other electrolytes and performance ingredients, this comprehensive magnesium dose helps maintain proper hydration status while supporting muscle function and recovery.

Zinc (3mg as Albion Bisglycinate Chelate) – 27% DV

Zinc serves as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes throughout the body, playing essential roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, and metabolic processes.[11] The mineral can’t be synthesized or stored in significant amounts by the body, making consistent dietary intake critical.[12]

Beyond immune support, zinc influences metabolism through its role in insulin signaling and thyroid hormone function.[13] The mineral also functions as an antioxidant through multiple mechanisms, including displacing pro-oxidant metals like iron and copper, serving as a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes, and directly protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage.[14]

ElectraShred uses Albion Bisglycinate Chelate, an amino acid-bound form with superior absorption compared to zinc oxide. This chelation process binds zinc to glycine, allowing the mineral to “piggyback” on the body’s efficient amino acid absorption pathways.[15]

Sodium (200mg as Sodium Citrate) – 9% DV

Sodium is the primary extracellular electrolyte controlling fluid balance and maintaining plasma volume during activity.[16] Through its osmotic effect, sodium draws water into both intravascular and interstitial spaces, supporting proper hydration status.

Athletes lose sodium through sweat at highly variable rates, with losses during intense training sometimes exceeding 10 grams daily.[17] Without adequate replacement, athletes experience decreased plasma volume and incomplete rehydration despite fluid intake.[16]

Sodium replacement maintains circulating vasopressin levels and prevents the diuretic effect that occurs when drinking plain water, enabling your body to retain fluids.[16] Research shows athletes supplementing with sodium equal to 50% of sweat losses maintained blood electrolytes while increasing plasma volume.[17]

ElectraShred provides 200 milligrams as sodium citrate, serving as foundational electrolyte support when using multiple servings throughout the day.

Potassium (300mg from Multiple Sources) – 6% DV

ElectraShred delivers 300 milligrams of potassium through a combination of Calci-K and potassium citrate (and some coconut water powder), supporting electrolyte balance alongside the formula’s 200 milligrams of sodium.

Potassium functions as the primary intracellular electrolyte, working in opposition to sodium to maintain proper fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction.[18] The sodium-potassium pump (Na-K-ATPase) actively transports three sodium ions out of cells while moving two potassium ions in, creating the electrochemical gradients essential for cellular function.[18]

During exercise, skeletal muscle cells release potassium into surrounding tissue, triggering vasodilation through vascular smooth muscle hyperpolarization. This mechanism increases blood flow to working muscles, supporting performance and nutrient delivery.[18]

Most Americans fall short of the recommended 4,700 milligrams daily, with typical consumption ranging from 2,400 to 3,200 milligrams.[19] The ratio of sodium to potassium intake matters as much as absolute amounts for cardiovascular health, making balanced electrolyte formulas valuable for optimizing this ratio.[20]

Note that a hint of the potassium comes from coconut water powder, which is discussed in detail below.

Chromium (200mcg as Chromax Chromium Picolinate) – 571% DV

Chromax chromium picolinate is one of the most well-researched trace minerals for supporting insulin sensitivity and body composition goals. When chromium enters the body, it binds with chromodulin, an oligopeptide that activates insulin receptors and can amplify insulin signaling by up to 8-fold.[21]

This enhanced insulin sensitivity supports healthy blood sugar regulation, which becomes increasingly important during fat loss phases when managing cravings and maintaining stable energy levels.[22] Research shows higher doses of chromium picolinate can help reduce food intake, hunger levels, and cravings for both carbohydrates and dietary fats.[22][23]

The 200-microgram dose supports healthy glucose metabolism and body composition improvements without requiring multiple servings.[24] Chromax offers superior bioavailability compared to other chromium forms: research shows it delivers up to 15 times better absorption than chromium chloride and other variants.[25]

For those using multiple servings of ElectraShred throughout the day as recommended, the cumulative chromium dose reaches research-backed levels shown to support appetite management and metabolic health during body composition phases.

L-Taurine (1,000mg)

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid highly concentrated in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles.[26] Its cardiovascular benefits make it a natural fit for a hydration-focused formula like ElectraShred.

Taurine supports blood pressure regulation through modulating calcium and potassium channels, which influences cardiac electrical activity and vascular tone.[26] The amino acid helps maintain calcium homeostasis, impacting myocardial contractility and relaxation while protecting against oxidative stress through mechanisms involving superoxide dismutase and glutathione stabilization.[26]

Research shows taurine supports metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels.[26] The one-gram dose in ElectraShred aligns with effective supplementation protocols while supporting both cardiovascular function and metabolic optimization.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (500mg)

Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) delivers 500 milligrams of this acetylated carnitine form that readily crosses cellular membranes and supports multiple metabolic pathways.[27] As an essential cofactor for fatty acid transport, L-carnitine binds to long-chain fatty acids and shuttles them across the mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation and ATP production.[27]

Beyond fat metabolism, L-carnitine enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscle tissue through improved endothelial function.[27] This vascular support reduces hypoxia-induced cellular disruption during training while supporting recovery.

Unmatched Supps lets you build your own Setria® for Sport stack by combining their Longevity Multi (250mg Setria® Glutathione) with any of their three citrulline-rich pre-workouts. Strategic supplementation that eliminates redundancy while maximizing synergistic NO benefits.

The acetylated form provides additional benefits by enhancing acetylcholine production and stimulating protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis.[28] ALCAR readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and supports mitochondrial function in neural tissue.[28] Studies in elderly subjects supplemented with 2 grams daily for 24 weeks showed improvements in fat mass, muscle mass, and reductions in both physical and mental fatigue.[27]

In ElectraShred’s formula, ALCAR works synergistically with chromium to support body composition goals during fat loss phases.

Coconut Water Concentrate (500mg)

ElectraShred also includes 500 milligrams of coconut water concentrate, complementing the formula’s mineral profile with naturally occurring electrolytes and bioactive compounds.

Coconut water provides a natural source of multiple electrolytes, including potassium (typically its most abundant mineral), sodium, calcium, and magnesium, supporting hydration status and fluid balance.[29] The mineral composition varies by coconut maturity and variety, with tender coconut water from immature coconuts (5-7 months) containing approximately 203-249 milligrams of potassium per 100 grams.[29]

Beyond basic electrolytes, coconut water contains B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, phenolic compounds, and amino acids contributing to its antioxidant properties.[29] Research demonstrates coconut water’s cardioprotective effects in animal models, including reductions in systolic blood pressure, serum triglycerides, and oxidative stress markers.[29]

The 500-milligram dose provides a concentrated source of these beneficial compounds without adding significant sugar content to the formula, making it an efficient addition to ElectraShred’s comprehensive electrolyte and antioxidant support profile.

PhytoServ Medley Blend (100mg)

ElectraShred’s 100-milligram PhytoServ blend delivers concentrated extracts from apple, onion, broccoli, kale, cranberry, and raspberry. These whole-food sources provide polyphenols, flavonoids, and glucosinolates that work together to combat oxidative stress and inflammation.

Unmatched Supps Longevity Multi features a “Cellular Energy Triangle” combining 250mg Setria Glutathione, 5mg MitoPrime L-Ergothioneine, and 20mg PQQ for comprehensive cellular energy optimization and mitochondrial support.

Kale and broccoli supply quercetin and kaempferol, flavonoids with cardiovascular protective effects.[30] Cruciferous vegetables like these contain glucosinolates that convert to bioactive isothiocyanates during digestion, supporting cellular defense mechanisms.[30] Cranberry and raspberry contribute anthocyanins, polyphenols linked to reduced oxidative damage and improved vascular function.[30]

Research on fruit and vegetable concentrates shows they reduce markers of oxidation and inflammation when supplemented consistently. For instance, eight-week supplementation with similar juice powder concentrates significantly decreased oxidized LDL and TNF-alpha in obese women.[31]

The blend’s diverse phytochemical profile provides complementary antioxidant protection working through multiple pathways, supporting the formula’s body composition and performance goals.

Ioniplex Fulvic Ionic Mineral Complex (50mg)

Ioniplex delivers fulvic acid with over 65 trace minerals in ionic form for enhanced cellular uptake.[32] Fulvic acid’s low molecular weight and ionic mineral content enable efficient nutrient transport to cells, functioning as a natural absorption enhancer.[32]

Research in pigs demonstrates that fulvic acid supplementation increases phosphorus and ash digestion while improving mineral bioavailability.[33] The compound’s numerous carboxyl and hydroxyl groups create chelation sites that bind minerals and facilitate their cellular delivery.[32]

By improving the absorption of ElectraShred’s electrolyte matrix and other nutrients, Ioniplex functions as an absorption multiplier for the entire formula.
