Creatine
$24.99
What can be said about creatine that hasn’t already been said a thousand times over?
It is the single most successful, consistently proven effective bodybuilding supplement in history. Creatine monohydrate has been extensively researched in both young and old individuals, and shown to not only be beneficial but more importantly, safe.[1,2]*
Various studies have shown that creatine monohydrate may improve[2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]*:
Lean mass gains*
Energy production*
Power*
Strength*
Hydration & thermoregulation*
Resistance to fatigue*
Post-exercise recovery*
Working memory & intelligence*
Due to the laundry list of benefits creatine supplementation has been noted to offer, we can think of no better single ingredient to usher in the Primeval Labs Commodity Series of products than Creatine Monohydrate!*
Primeval Labs Creatine supplies 5 grams of pure creatine monohydrate (the most well-studied form of creatine) per serving.*
How Does Creatine Work?
When you ingest creatine either from food or dietary supplements, it binds to a phosphate molecule to form creatine phosphate.*
As you probably know, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the body's primary energy source, and our bodies create ATP from the oxidation (“burning”) of carbohydrates, protein, and fat we obtain from our diet.*
So, how do we get energy from ATP?
Hydrolysis is a chemical process resulting in the breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water. When ATP is hydrolyzed (reacted with water) one of the high-energy phospho-anhydride bonds in ATP is broken, giving off a considerable amount of thermal energy which can then be used to perform work, such as contracting a muscle to lift a weight.*
After ATP is hydrolyzed, it now becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate), since it has lost one of its phosphate groups.[11]*
From an energy-yielding standpoint, ADP is fairly useless, that is until it regains a phosphate group and becomes ATP once again.*
Now, here’s where the magic of creatine comes in.*
Our muscles store creatine as creatine-phosphate (phospho-creatine). During the first few moments of intense exercise, our muscles rely on the phosphagen energy system, which consists of ATP stores and phosphocreatine stores.*
While this energy system excels at helping us perform powerfully explosive movements, it can only fuel top end performance for a brief amount of time (~10 seconds). Once your ATP stores are exhausted, your body switches over to oxidizing carbohydrates and fats to regenerate ATP.*
However, with greater creatine phosphate stores (like those obtained from supplementing with creatine monohydrate), the body’s ability to more rapidly regenerate ATP is enhanced, allowing you to maintain a higher level of performance for greater periods of time. This allows muscles to increase their total workout output before succumbing to fatigue.*
Essentially, the main mechanism by which creatine enhances performance is through enhancing energy production.*
But that’s not all.
Creatine also enhances cellular hydration due to its osmotic properties. This encourages muscle cells to absorb and hold onto extra water.*
Improved cellular hydration promotes greater stamina, and it also has been noted to increase protein synthesis (which supports muscle growth).[12]*
Plus, when muscles are well-hydrated, they look bigger, fuller, and more pumped!*
What Can I Stack Creatine With?
Primeval Labs Creatine is stimulant-free and can be used in conjunction with any other Primeval Labs supplements.*
Do I Need to Cycle Creatine?
No.*
Creatine is non-hormonal and does not need to be cycled.*
When Should I Take Creatine?
Creatine can be taken any time of day as its energy-boosting effects are the result of your muscles becoming saturated with creatine. That being said, we are fans of taking it post-workout as both insulin sensitivity and nutrient uptake by muscle cells is greater following exercise.*

Ape Sh*t Cutz Thermogenic Pre-Workout
$34.99
What is Ape Sh*t Cutz?
Ape Sh*t Cutz is a thermogenic pre workout scientifically formulated to support increased athletic performance, endurance, and calorie burning. We’ve taken the best elements from our best-selling, high energy pre workout Ape Sh*t and added in prominent weight loss support agents to create the ultimate fat-burning pre workout supplement.*
What’s the Difference Between Ape Sh*t & Ape Sh*t Cutz?
The biggest difference between the original Ape Sh*t pre workout and Ape Sh*t Cutz is the swap of nitric oxide support ingredients for weight loss support agents. In lieu of L-Citrulline, Agmatine, and Taurine, we’ve included several compounds that help support fat metabolism and increased thermogenesis to help burn more calories during training.*
Make no mistake though, Ape Sh*t Cutz still offers the same delicious flavor you’ve come to expect from all Primeval Labs supplements. In fact, we believe this may surpass the flavoring of the original Ape Sh*t!*
Ape Sh*t Cutz Ingredients
Beta Alanine
Beta alanine is a prominent endurance support supplement known to support stamina and resistance to fatigue. It does so by increasing concentrations of a powerful intracellular buffer known as carnosine.*[1]
With higher levels of carnosine, skeletal muscle is better able to buffer acidic (H+) ions that accumulate during repeated muscle contractions. This enables muscles to last longer before succumbing to fatigue, promoting greater stamina, strength, and endurance.*[2,3,4]
Choline Bitartrate
Choline is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in cognitive development, muscle movement, and the structure of cell membranes. It also serves as a building block for the “learning transmitter”, acetylcholine, which is well-known to impact focus, learning, memory, and the “mind-muscle connection.”*
Supplementing with choline helps support acetylcholine production in the body promoting greater focus and a stronger mind-muscle connection during training.*
Caffeine
Caffeine is great for increasing mental energy, focus, and concentration. It’s also useful for supporting weight loss due to the facts that caffeine has been noted in various research trials[5,6,7,8] to help*:
Enhance fatty acid oxidation*
Increase lipolysis via cyclic AMP*
Boost metabolic rate*
Suppresse appetite
This consummate pre workout stimulant also helps improve exercise performance by reducing perceived exertion, which may help athletes to train longer, banging out more reps and burning more calories.*
Ape Sh*t Cutz utilizes natural caffeine from green tea to supply smooth, long-lasting energy without the jitters, edginess or crash.*
Note: Each full serving (2 scoops) of Ape Sh*t Cutz supplies a total of 300mg caffeine from green tea.
Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia cambogia is a small, sour-tasting, pumpkin-shaped fruit that is rich in hydroxycitric acid (HCA).*
Research suggests that garcinia cambogia may help decrease oxidative stress, suppress appetite, and support weight loss efforts.*[18,19,20]
Dandelion Extract
Dandelion is a commonly used all-natural diuretic included to help shed unwanted water weight that tends to accumulate in the body. Research has shown that dandelion may increase urine output, as well as the frequency of urination, for up to 5 hours![9,10]*
Additional studies also suggest dandelion may enhance glucose uptake in skeletal muscle[11], promoting greater utilization and storage of carbohydrates.*
Gamma-Butyrobetaine HCl (GBB)
Gamma-butyrobetaine (GBB) acts as a carnitine precursor.*
It is converted to carnitive via the enzyme Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase (BBD).[12] Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase is an oxidoreductase enzyme that mediates conversion of GBB to carnitine through the movement of electrons.[13]*
Why is more carnitine beneficial?
Carnitine is the molecule in the body that facilitates transportation of fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation, a.k.a. “fat burning”. Greater carnitine availability allows for more fatty acids to be shuttled into the mitochondria to burn as fuel.*
Be forewarned that GBB is known to have a prominent thermogenic effect in the body, so expect to feel the heat with Ape Sh*t Cutz!*
Yohimbine Bark Extract
Yohimbine is a bioactive compound found within the bark of the African tree, Pausinystalia johimbe. It has been noted to function as a powerful CNS stimulant that antagonizes alpha-2-adrenergic receptors in the body, which helps increase energy and focus while also supporting fat burning.*[14]
Yohimbine has also been noted to help suppress appetite, helping individuals combat those notorious hunger pangs that arise during diets.*[15,16,17]

VasoGorge Up-Close
Nitrosigine®
Nitrosigine is a patented complex of arginine and silicon that supports greater nitric oxide (NO) levels. This, in turn, promotes greater blood flow, nutrient delivery, and vasodilation in working muscles.*Additionally, silicon is known to help strengthen and improve the flexibility of arterial walls. Complexed together, offer superior results compared to either ingredient taken alone.*
Nitrosigine is backed by 30 research studies, and has been found to increase blood levels of arginine for up to six hours and elevates blood levels of silicon with a single dose.*
Altogether, this makes Nitrosigine an exceptional pump and performance ingredient!
Pine Bark Extract
Pine bark extract is a rich source of polyphenols (including procyanidins, phenolic acids, and bioflavonoids) that have been found to stimulate various enzymes in the body, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).*
This provides a separate and complementary mechanism to that of Nitrosigine. Combining the two supports greater nitric oxide (NO) production which leads to an increase in blood flow and oxygen supply to muscles.*
Pink Himalayan Salt
Himalayan pink salt is a type of rock salt harvested from an area near the foothills of the Himalayas that offers a premium source of sodium as well as several key trace minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium.*
These minerals support hydration, cell volumization and muscle function*
FAQ
Can I Stack VasoGorge with Other Supplements?
VasoGorge contains no stimulants. It can be used as a standalone pre workout or stacked with your favorite stimulant-based pre workout, such as Primeval Labs Ape Sh*t or Ape Sh*t Cutz, for added pumps, performance, and cardiovascular support.*
When Should I Take VasoGorge?
As a dietary supplement, take one full serving (5 capsules) 20-30 minutes before training with 12-16 ounces of water. Never exceed one serving per day.

Primeval Labs WHEY
$59.99
Protein powder is one of the most popular supplements on the market. In fact, it’s one of the first supplements an individual purchases when they embark on their fitness journey.*
The reason for this is that consuming sufficient dietary protein is key to achieving just about any performance or physique goal, be it muscle growth, fat loss, body recomposition, or kicking the opponent’s tail on the field of competition.[1,2,3,4] *
Recognizing the demand for not only a premium-quality protein powder, but also one that was delicious and affordable, resulted in the creation of Primeval Labs WHEY.*
What is WHEY?
WHEY is a 100% pure whey protein concentrate (WPC) protein powder that mixes easily and tastes absolutely delicious.*
Our whey protein concentrate is derived from high-quality milk, creating a protein that is both highly bioavailable and naturally rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).*
This makes WHEY an ideal protein supplement for any active individual looking to support the performance, health, and physique goals.*
Key Features of WHEY
23 grams protein per serving
WHEY uses ONLY 100% WPC-80
Available in three mouth-watering flavors
Mixes easily*
Supports muscle recovery and growth*
Supports weight loss*
Naturally rich in BCAAs*
Added digestive enzymes*
More About Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey protein is one of two proteins naturally occurring in cow’s milk.*
It accounts for 20% of the total protein in milk, with casein accounting for the remaining 80%.*
Whey protein is considered to be one of the best forms of protein due to is high biological value (BV), rivaling that of egg protein -- nature’s “perfect” protein.[5] *
In fact, whey has a biological value of 104 -- that’s higher than egg, beef, chicken, or fish protein.[5,6]*
Basically, what this means is that whey protein is efficiently digested, absorbed, and used by the human body. *
Other proteins that have low biological values (such as most plant proteins) are not efficiently used by the body, which means a higher amount of them needs to be consumed in order to deliver quality amounts of essential amino acids.*
Since whey protein has a very high biological value it is ideally suited for individuals looking to support muscle growth, fat loss, recovery, and performance.*
Furthermore, whey protein is rapidly digested, making it an enticing option for a post workout recovery shake.*
Research also supports the use of whey protein supplementation when trying to build muscle, lose fat, and improve body composition.*[7,8]
Additional studies also find that supplementing with whey protein may enhance anaerobic power and strength compared to supplementing with carbohydrates, due to improved recovery when supplementing with protein.[9]*
WHEY Uses Only WPC-80
A little known fact about whey protein concentrate is that its protein contents can vary between 34-80%![10]*
Further complicating the matter is the fact that companies are NOT required to list which grade of whey protein concentrate is included in their protein powder, which means you could be getting (paying for) as little as 34% protein by weight in your powder.*
What makes up the remaining percentage?*
A mixture of carbohydrates (lactose) and fat.*
Together this means that not only is your “protein” powder high in fat and lactose (which is sure to lead to GI upset), but it’s also low in protein.*
We don’t know about you, but we hardly consider that a “protein powder”.*
That’s why we use only the highest-quality whey protein concentrate in our WHEY protein powder -- WPC-80.*
This delivers a powder that is high in protein while keeping carbs, fat, and total calories in check.*
The other added benefit of using a concentrate as opposed to something like hydrolyzed whey protein is that it retains higher amounts of the bioactive fractions naturally occurring in whey, such as:
ß-lactoglobulin
α-lactalbumin
Bovine serum albumin
Immunoglobulins
Glycomacropeptide
Lactoferrin
Lactoperoxidase
And, whey concentrate also offers a superior texture and mouthfeel compared to other protein powders which can either taste thin and watery or gritty and grass-like.*
Added Digestive Support
WPC-80 is naturally low in lactose and whey in and of itself if highly bioavailable, but we sought to improve its digestion and uptake even more with the addition of DigeSEB™.*
DigeSEB™ is a unique complex of digestive enzymes included to enhance digestibility, decrease bloating, and boost the overall nutrition of WHEY.*
DigeSEB™ contains a special combination of FIVE digestive enzymes to improve digestibility of a broad range of foods (including dairy) into nutrients that the body can efficiently use.*
Enzymes included in DigeSEB™ are:
Amylases - naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, more specifically starch, into smaller dextrins and sugars
Lactase - digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar)
Proteases - enzymes that hydrolyze (breaks down) proteins found in whey, casein, steak, chicken, fish as well as plant proteins into smaller chains of polypeptides and amino acids for uptake and utilization by the body
Lipase - enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats into essential fatty acids used by the body for cell membrane repair and maintenance, hormone production, and numerous other functions
Cellulase - enzyme that digests cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in all plant material including plant fiber

DAY2DAY Fruits & Greens
$34.99
We all know that a core principle of wellness is a healthy diet, rich in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.*
At the same time, we all have those days when our intake of those healthy foods is a bit short.*
Plus, hard training increases nutritional requirements as intense exercise depletes mineral stores and increases oxidative stress.*
In these situations, it’s necessary to consume sufficient amounts of essential vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants and polyphenols.*
That’s why we set out to develop a greens supplement that not only helps support your day-to-day general nutritional requirements, but also one that offers benefits to individuals living an active lifestyle.*
This resulted in the creation of Day2Day.
What is Day2Day?
Day2Day is a great-tasting nutritional support supplement delivering 5 grams combined powdered fruits and vegetables.*
Greens Blend (2.5g)

Sodium
Potassium
Magnesium
Phosphorous
Calcium
Our custom flavoring systems are like none other, making Electrolyte not only a premium-quality hydration support supplement, but one that also tastes delicious and refreshing!*
Why Are Electrolytes Important?
It takes only a 2% loss of total body water content to start feeling thirsty.* And, once the body reaches this point, it’s already in a state of dehydration.*
Signs of dehydration include:
Excessive sweating*
Thirst*
Decreased urine output or darkly colored urine*
Headache*
Fatigue*
Cramping*
Dizziness*
Difficulty concentrating*
Electrolytes are the minerals responsible for shuttling water to the areas in the body that need it most.* Additionally, electrolytes also help maintain optimal fluid balance within cells themselves.*
Electrolyte Features
Tastes amazing*
TWO delicious flavors*
60 servings!
NO sugar*
ZERO Calories*
Premium-quality electrolytes*
Vegetarian-friendly*
Supports metabolism*
Why Choose Electrolyte?
By the time you feel symptoms of dehydration, simply drinking plain water does not deliver what the body needs quick enough.* Be it first thing in the morning, at the gym, in the office, or on the road, being even slightly dehydrated can lead to feelings of lethargy and/or brain fog.*
In fact, research shows that organ function, cognitive function, and mood can be hindered rather significantly when the body’s total water content drops by as little as 1%.*[1,2] Additional survey data indicates that up to 75% of adults may suffer from dehydration.*[3] Dehydration also becomes a concern when colds and flu strike.*
Basically, rapid hydration is important if you:
Just finished training intensely*
Work outdoors in hot environments*
Travel*
Are sick*
Had one too many*
Primeval Labs Electrolytes delivers premium-quality electrolytes from Calci-K and Pink Himalayan salt to support hydration and optimal bodily function.*
What Do Electrolytes Do?
Sodium
The human body requires ~500mg per day of sodium to function properly*
Helps regulate blood pressure and blood volume*
Helps maintain fluid balance in the body*
Required for proper muscle function*
Potassium
Helps maintain fluid balance inside cells*
Essential for optimal muscle function*
Supports a regular heartbeat*
