Kinobody Supplements Review: A Ground-Breaking Line Of Pre To Post To Recovery Supplements

Greg Gallagher was actively known for his anti-supplement stance. In fact, this was how he vouched for his Kinobody programs for the longest time – “supplements suck, follow this program, get jacked, and save money”. However, recently, his YouTube videos reveal that he’s evolved his thinking and now advocates a new range of supplements to make the most of his trainings.

However, instead of those run-of-the-mill drinks packed with a host of useless “pump” compounds, insane amounts of caffeine, and artificial sweeteners, Greg wanted to create something that would offer effective but smooth energy and maximize recovery and performance, without all the extras.

Afterall, it’s not at all unheard of for fitness experts to delve into the supplements line as well. What makes the Kinobody line stand out from competitors is that they offer supplements that run the gamut of the full workout process, all the way from pre to post to recovery. All Kinobody supplements have garnered pretty high ratings in such a short amount of time. In this Kinobody supplements review, et’s expand on each of the brand’s popular supplements and see if they are really worth their salt (and the exorbitant prices)!

Kino Octane Pre-Workout

Kino Octane is Kinobody’s all natural, research backed, performance enhancing, pre-workout supplement. All its 8 ingredients are geared towards boosting your body’s recovery rate, mental focus, clarity, and metabolism. These pre-workout Kinobody supplements can be taken as a coffee substitute, a stand-alone workout supplement, or compounded with other recovery supplements, such as BCAAs.

Since it is manufactured with all-natural ingredients, you can use it as your morning cup of tea, your afternoon “I could use a burst of energy” drink, or as a jump start to a great lifting session. No surprises there since an average person might not be able to make it through Greg’s intense Kinobody programs. Perhaps, this supplement is all that people need to stay consistent with the routine, or at least give Kinobody a try. The best part: Kinobody groups the mix of ingredients into three distinct blends, depending on your need.

Blend #1: The Metabolic Acceleration Blend

This blend incorporates biotin, I-citrulline, and thiamine. All these ingredients work to rid the muscles of lactic acid build-up from exercise-induced fatigue and speed up recovery between sets. Thiamin regulates glucose levels to keep fatigue at bay, allowing you to lift heavier for longer. Similarly, Biotin works to release the stored forms of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, and making energy readily available to muscles, as needed. Citrulline promotes enhanced blood flow to the working tissues, so that glucose can be transported faster to the muscles. This can increase your peak performance times by up to 12%.

Blend #2: Neural Alignment Blend

The second blend of Kinobody supplements leverages the benefits of caffeine combined with l-theanine to boost general alertness. A popular stimulant in many pre-workout supplements, 150 mg of caffeine gives you that “sweet spot” for achieving utmost focus during an intense workout session. To ensure that you don’t feel too jittery from the caffeine rush, it is paired with Theanine to ward off stress and control blood pressure.

Blend #3: The Electrolyte Primer Blend

The combination of electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium, helps to replenish the minerals depleted from the body due to an intense workout session. Most pre-workout supplements lack these ingredients, but they are really Important when it comes to maximizing your workouts without letting the fatigue settle in. This is how Kino Octane fights off dehydration.

What It’s Like Taking Kino Octane:

Let’s start with the taste, since it will be the first thing to hit you when you take a sip of Kino Octane. As soon as I popped open the Lemonade flavor of Kino Octane, the smelled seemed fine but the taste was too bland since the supplement lacks any artificial flavoring or added carbs. You can say there was nothing to like, but nothing to complain about either.

Moving on, the supplement kicks in really fast, like only 15 minutes, even though it only contains 150 mg of caffeine. In such a short amount of time, I could feel mental clarity and energy; a feel-goof sensation. Talking about endurance, the effects of this supplement doesn’t last for crazy hours as compared to some of the other pre-workout supplements I have tested. Think of it like clean energy. It tapers down pretty gracefully, instead of making you crash out. In fact, It has become my go-to caffeine substitute since I first started it.

As for feeling any super strength after downing a glass, I could say I did manage to get quite a few more reps without feeling drained.

Final Verdict:

Pros of Kino Octane:

• Clean, effective, smooth energy
• High levels of L-citrulline
• All-natural ingredients, such as sodium, potassium, and ginseng
• No “propriety formula” – transparency in labeling
• No artificial sweeteners or added flavorings
• Keeps an ideal poise amid stimulation and recovery

Cons of Kino Octane

• A bit pricier than other supplements
• Contains caffeine in moderation which might not be enough for super users
• No creatine
• Weirdly bland taste

Kino Gains

The Kino Gains supplement incorporates a blend of key ingredients to promote better recovery, improve performance and strength in the gym, and encourage muscle growth. These Kinobody supplements make sure you gain muscles in all the right places by boosting anabolic hormone synthesis, methylating excess estrogen, and enhancing androgen receptor availability. You’ll get the “V-Shape” build, gain muscle faster, and never hit a plateau again. In essence, the Kino Gains is a creatine monohydrate supplement, supplemented by a lot of other stellar ingredients, to take things up a notch, such as:

• Creatine Monohydrate – 5,000mg

While creatine is produced naturally in the body, you can consume it through eating most meats as well. However, supplementing it with around 5g per day can do wonders for your strength performance and boost muscle growth. Creatinine works by enhancing the production of ATP inside your muscles, making sure you are fueled with energy during high-intensity training. We have ample evidence to show that creatinine increases strength performance and improves lean body mass.

• L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – 2,000mg

L-Carnitine works somewhat similarly to creatinine, and helps your body deliver more energy to your muscle cells, and boost androgen receptors in key muscle groups when paired with strength training. L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, in particular, speeds up muscle recovery and takes care of soreness.

• Choline Bitartrate – 500mg

While this naturally-occurring compound is often associated with weight loss supplements, its actual purpose is to improve brain and liver function. Additionally, it is added to Kinobody supplements to clear out estrogen from the liver.

Pros

• Better endurance during workouts
• Muscle fullness without weight gain

Cons

Kino gains should definitely work in the taste department. Right now, it only comes in one flavor; Kino colada. Similarly, the performance boost we enjoy after a Kinobody drink is only permanent.

Kino Aminos

Kino’s Aminos supplements work to enhance your body’s ability to maintain muscle and grow. The BCAAs in Kino Aminos have been the subject of scrutiny for a long time. They are best known for improving recovery, alleviating exercise-related fatigue, and relieving muscle soreness, which helps you bust through plateaus, break personal records for lifting weights, and perform better at workouts.  You can either purchase each supplement by itself, or you can buy a Superhero Stack, which constitutes one bottle each of Octane, Aminos, and Gains.

Kino Sleep

And to conclude our Kinobody supplements review, we have Kino Sleep, an all-natural sleep formula comprising of a blend of 100% natural, science-backed ingredients that put your body into a state of restful balance, boost hormonal function safely, and improve sleep quality. These include:

• Magnesium

Magnesium is effective not only for boosting general health and well-being, but also for ensuring a good night sleep. It does so by interacting with your central nervous system. Magnesium works to relax your muscles and lessen the occurrence of neuromuscular impulses that cause twitches or jerks. Magnesium in Kinobody supplements makes sure you sleep undisturbed for longer, without waking up repeatedly in the middle of the night.

• Glycine

This amino acid is also scientifically known for its benefits associated with sleep, by acting as a depressant. 

• Lemon Balm

This herb, most commonly known as Melissa Officinalis, can help you develop a better mindset, which indirectly helps you catch a good night sleep. Research says that when used in a tea, this herb relieves anxiety and improves calmness.

• L-Theanine

An amino acid most commonly found in green tea, L-Theanine is scientifically proven to get you into a better mindset for sleep. This substance works by reducing anxiety and enhancing relaxation.

• Ashwagandha

Similar to the other ingredients listed above, it can give you more of that ‘sleep-ready’ mindset rather than directly affecting how you sleep. It’s a herb which can help to reduce your overall levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

Evodia Evodia Rutaecarpine is known to counter the effects of caffeine by binding itself to the stimulant and alleviating its potency. It rids your body of caffeine and helps you get to sleep much faster.
