A pre workout energy drink that delivers! No caffeine, stimulants, aspartame, or fake dyes! Power Shot is loaded with high quality ingredients to increase the quality of all of your workouts!
No International Orders: Only US orders at this time
Last year, I stopped by strongman legend competitor and top strength coach Mark Philippi's training center to talk to him about a new DVD project. While I was over there, Mark mentioned that he had a new pre-workout supplement called Power Shot that he wanted me to try. I am skeptical about pre-workout drinks as most of them are loaded with caffeine, stimulants, artificial colors, flavors, dyes, aspartame, and other garbage ingredients that I avoid. However, I trust Mark as he is a man with integrity and he is not going to put his name on some garbage product just to make a few bucks. If he does not believe in it and actually use it himself he is not going to endorse it.
I wanted to design a supplement that was better than any on the market. Powershot is a high quality product for athletes and individuals that are serious about their workout performance. Powershot is filled with substantial amounts of ingredients that are proven to increase strength, endurance, and energy. All of our elite athletes at PSI take Powershot to maximize their workouts. Take 2 scoops 20 min before your workout and get ready to get strong!
Mark Philippi, Philippi Sports Institute & Philippi Sports Nutrition
Mark gave me a container to check out and I was impressed with the ingredients which included: Kre-alkalyn, beta alanine, arginine, tyrosine, vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, magnesium, potassium, alpha lipoic acid, taurine, dmg, and propionyl-L-carnitine, and citruline malate. I was also impressed with what the product didn't have: caffeine, stimulants, artificial dyes such as FD&C Blue No. 1, aspartame etc.
I have been using PowerShot before every workout for the last several months and I love this stuff. I noticed more strength and endurance the very first time I tried PowerShot. When I started training with Mark in March for a new DVD project, I really noticed a difference. The workouts are often over ninety minutes of rapid pace intensity and PowerShot made a big difference with me being able to survive and thrive at each workout. I have been training with Mark for close to four months now and can count the number of bad workouts I have had with two fingers. Both times it was due to poor sleep and not eating enough the day before the workout which makes a huge difference.
While PowerShot is great stuff it is not a miracle supplement that will make up for poor sleep and diet. Moreover, don't expect PowerShot to improve performance in low intensity workouts. You actually have to engage in intense training to notice the benefits.
Here is some more information from the designer of Power Shot
Power Shot Ingredient Information
1) Kre-Alklayn
Kre-Alklayn is designed to improve strength and power. This Patented PH correct Creatine is the best form of Creatine Monohydrate ever developed. With a PH of 12-14 .Kre-Alklayn doesn't cause bloating or cramping and does not need a loading phase or cycling.
2) 6 Stage L-Arginine Muscle Expanding Matrix
L-Arginine is an amino acid, which plays a role in muscle growth, it has another important benefit. It supports the nitric oxide production of the body. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, therefore it increases blood flow. The increased blood flow delivers more nutrients, oxygen and creatine to the muscles.
3) Nitric Oxide Muscle Expanding Matrix.
This very powerful stack of synergistic compounds inhibits the arginase enzyme thus increasing arginine concentrations turbo charging our 6 stage L-Arginine Muscle expanding Matrix, to work more effectively.
4) Insulin Supportive Transport
These compounds help to regulate insulin while driving Opti-carbs, protein, and amino acids in to the muscle. Lipoic acid also helps to raise Glutathione, a strong anti-oxidant, levels in the body.
5) Pure energy Blast.
These all natural energy producing compounds will help you have more endurance, mental focus, and power to make it through the most intense training sessions.
6) Electrolyte Replacement Matrix
Proper hydration is helpful for achieving the best performance in elite athletes. Our exclusive Electrolyte Replacement Matrix helps keep the body hydrated to maximize athletic performance.
7) 6 Stage Muscle Expanding Muscle Hydrating Opticarbs These sustained release low sugar carbohydrates including Waxy Maize, glucose polymers, and amino sugar D-Ribose help fuel athletes through even the most grueling workouts and training sessions.
Here is some detailed information on the main ingredients in Power Shot
Kre-alkalyn a PH correct form of creatine monohydrate that does not cause bloating, GI tract issues, and urination frequency. Creatine is by far the most well researched sports supplement and has been proven to increase strength and training performance numerous times. It also has been shown to have brain health benefits. Kre-alkalyn is the best form of creatine monohydrate by far.
Beta-alanine: An amino acid which increases muscular strength and output, anaerobic endurance, aerobic endurance, and delays muscle fatigue. It works very well when taken with creatine before workouts.
Arginine Ethyl Ester HCL: Arginine Ethyl Ester is a form of Arginine that can pass through the intestine largely intact. Arginine has been shown to have benefits on muscle growth and cellular function. Arginine also increases nitric oxide levels which improves blood flow, oxygen utilization, and muscle fullness.

Tyrosine: an amino acid that supports neurotransmitters in the brain such as dopamine. When the body is stressed and fatigues the availability of Tyrosine is compromised. Tyrosine supplementation helps reduce stress, enhances mental alertness and mood, acts as an appetite suppressant and has a beneficial affect on sex drive. Tyrosine is also great for thyroid health as it is a precursor amino acid for the thyroid gland hormone thyroxin.
Taurine: an amino acid which has several important jobs and can act like creatine: expanding your cells by helping the muscle cell itself hold more water, increasing cell volume. This is significant for athletes as expanded muscle cells can boost hydration resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis and muscle fullness. (Source Clayton South at bodybuilding.com) Taurine also supports neurological development and helps regulate the level of water and mineral salts in the blood. (source mayoclinic.com)
DMG: an amino acid which is a metabolic enhancer that can provide increased benefits when supplemented even if there isn?t a deficiency. DMG makes the process of metabolism (breaking down or building up of compounds in the body) quicker and more efficient. DMG improves oxygen utilization, detoxification, cell protection, immune system modulation, and enhances the healing. DMG acts as an adaptogen and helps the body cope with physical, emotional and metabolic stress, acts as an antioxidant, provides building blocks, increases oxygen utilization, decreases lactic acid, and helps modulate the immune system. (Source for DMG info: "Building Wellness With DMG" by Roger V Kendall)
Guanidinopropionic Acid: is a creatine monohydrate analogue. Research has shown that guanidinopropionic acid can help to enhance insulin function, ramp up fat loss, improve muscle contraction ability, increase creatine uptake, and help to improve muscle fullness. In addition creatine non responders may be in luck as Guanidinopropionic acid can help the body to take up more creatine and many be just what you is needed to get the most out of creatine.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It's needed by the body to produce the energy for our body's normal functions. Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy. Alpha lipoic acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. What makes alpha lipoic acid unique is that it functions in water and fat, unlike the more common antioxidants vitamins C and E, and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances. Alpha lipoic acid increases the formation of glutathione. (source Cathy Wong at about.com)
Glycine-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid: Helps the body fight fatigue and increases the ability to sustain muscle force (source pubmed.gov)
Glycine propionyl-l-carnitine: GlycoCarn GPLC contains a unique form of carnitine used for improving heart health. PLC (Propionyl L-Carnitine) is used to ramp up cardiovascular energy.
Citruline Malate: increases nitric oxide production (NO plays an important role in oxygen delivery, blood flow, glucose uptake, and muscle strength). Citrulline Malate may help to eliminate the burn associated with lactic acid build up as well as reduce the negative effects of ammonia and bacterial endo toxins on performance. Studies show subjects using Citrulline Malate have an increase in the rate of muscle ATP (Andenosine Triphosphate, the major energy source within the cell) production during exercise and greater phosphocreatine recovery after exercise.

AKG Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate: Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is the nitrogen-free portion of the amino acids known as glutamine and glutamic acid. It is formed in the Krebs cycle, the energy-producing process that occurs in most body cells. AKG is used by cells during growth and in healing from injuries and other wounds, and is especially important in the healing of muscle tissue (Source stopyawning.worldpress.com)
Glycocyamine: Increases insulin sensitivity and is a direct precursor of creatine.
Potassium citrate: Potassium is important in maintaining water balance as well as muscle function and nerve transmissions given throughout the body (as are calcium and sodium). It also helps with maintaining a healthy heart as well. It also aids in the conversion of blood sugar (glucose) into glycogen, which is a form of energy stored in the muscles.

Lysine: L-Lysine is a critical building block for all protein in the body. L-Lysine plays a prominent role in calcium absorption building muscle protein; recovering from surgery or sports injuries; and the body's production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies. (Source Wikipedia.com)
Methinonine: Methionine is a protein-based amino acid, which assists with metabolic function, breaks down fat, and is the primary source of sulfur in the body. As one of the compounds known as a lipotrophic, a fat burner or antioxidant, methionine is also critical for the removal of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, from the body. Some of its other primary purposes include ensuring healthy liver, kidney, bladder, and artery functions; the maintenance of healthy nails, hair, and skin; and it is essential for muscle growth and energy.

Norvaline: L-Norvaline is an analog of the branched chain amino acid L-valine. Research shows that L-norvaline blocks arginase activity because of its structural similarity to ornithine, which causes a feedback regulation on the activity of arginase. When you stop arginase, Nitric Oxide is produced continuously at a higher rate in the presence of NOS and adequate L-arginine. L-arginine is the limiting factor for NO production from NOS, so inhibiting the arginase enzyme effectively increases the production of NO by as much as 60%.(Source Alan E. Shugarman, M.S., R.D)
Metafolin: Metafolin® ((6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, calcium salt or L-methylfolate) is the pure stable crystalline form of the naturally-occurring predominant form of folate.Folates are water-soluble B-vitamins, which play a key role in central metabolic pathways. Folates are, for example, needed for cell division or cell repair. Metafolin® is L-methylfolate, the body's preferred form of folate. Metafolin® is directly usable by the human organism, directly involved in lowering homocysteine blood levels, and the only form of folate able to cross the blood-brain barrier. (source: metafolin.com)
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide: stimulates dopamine production. Clinical research has shown that increased dopamine production has a positive effect on the following brain functions: thinking, cognitive functions, mood, drive, strength, coordination, movement, mobility and much more.

Glycerol Monostearate: helps delay fatigue and increases endurance be assisting the body in being well hydrated. Helps with the absorption of other supplements such as creatine. (Source: pkv-glycerol.blogspot.com)
CoQ10: a nutrient present in most eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. Ninety-five percent of the human body?s energy is generated this way. Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements?such as the heart, liver and kidney ?have the highest CoQ10 concentrations (Source wikepedia.com) A recent study shows that CoQ10 supplementation significantly reduces muscle injury and oxidative stress due to intensive exercise. (source Life extension magazine)
Calcium pyruvate: is a nutritional supplement that combines naturally occurring pyruvic acid with calcium. While pyruvate is produced in the body and aids in the conversion of sugar and starches into energy, calcium pyruvate can help enhance the metabolism and speed up the creation of energy. (Source: wisegeek.com)
Vanadyl Sulfate: Vanadyl compounds mimic the effects of insulin (wikipedia.com) Similar to Insulin; Vanadyl sulfate drives nutrients into the cells and muscles. Vanadyl sulfate works well with creatine. Creatine is stored in the muscles and its affects are amplified with the addition of Vanadyl sulfate.
Cinnamon Extract: a spice that could help lower metabolic syndrome. In traditional Chinese medicine, cinnamon is used for colds, nausea, diarrhea, and painful menstrual periods. It's also believed to increase energy, vitality, and circulation and be particularly useful for people who tend to feel hot in their upper body but have cold feet. In Ayurveda, cinnamon is used as a remedy for diabetes, indigestion, and colds, and it is often recommended for people with the kapha Ayurvedic type.(Source about.com: alternative medicine
D pinitol: Recent research has found this form of the vitamin B inositol may have profound insulin-like properties, which may explain its long use in traditional healing medicine for numerous diabetic-associated conditions. D-Pinitol has now become one of the better studied insulin mimickers in the supplement industry and is proving to be an excellent aid in improving glucose metabolism. Also noteworthy, it's been shown to help enhance the uptake of creatine without the use of high-calorie simple carbohydrates. (Source: nutros.net)
Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine and for myelin formation. (mayoclinic.com) It performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. For example, vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin (a vitamin) (source: office of dietary supplements)
Vitamin B12: is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the eight B vitamins It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production.

D Ribose: a nutrient that increases energy, energy recovery, endurance and works synergistically with creatine. Ribose is a simple, five-carbon sugar (known as a pentose by biochemists) that is found naturally in our bodies. But Ribose is not like any other sugar. When we consume Ribose, the body recognizes that it is different from other sugars and preserves it for the vital work of actually making the energy molecule that powers our hearts, muscles, brains, and every other tissue in the body.

Glucose Polymers: Glucose and glucose polymers fed before and during exercise significantly delay the onset of fatigue and increase performance. (source: ronavidan.com)
Waxy Maze: Waxy Maize bypasses the stomach, is absorbed by the intestines and immediately is assimilated; this is all done at a much faster rate than dextrose or maltodextrin, almost double. Waxy Maize can increase the absorption rate of other supplements such as creatine. Waxy Maize has the ability to replenish the body's glycogen stores much faster than a mix of maltodextrin or dextrose. (Source Bodybuilding.com)
Here is what people are saying about PowerShot
Powershot is an essential key to my workout. It gives me the endurance I need to finish my workout with the same intensity it started. There is no crash, just a steady balanced of energy. As a professional athlete, you are always looking for a safe legal edge to help you compete at a high level. Powershot provides that edge. I would recommend this product to my teammates as well as any serious individual that desires to workout at a high level.
Renaldo Wynn, NFL Defensive Lineman
Being serious about my own fitness, but also being extremely busy I am always looking for ways to boost my energy for workouts. Yet, when I try different supplements I am often left with a sick to my stomach feeling that only hurts my training. When I tried PowerShot not only did it taste good, but I had no upset stomach and had some great workouts! Not only that, but I have noticed significant improvements in my muscle development that makes PowerShot a staple of my training routine
Josh Henkin, CSCS Creator of the Ultimate Sandbag Core System
I never expected the number of benefits I would receive when I first started adding Powershot to my training regime. I received the increase in energy and tremendous strength gains that I expected but the mental focus and ability to last longer is what has truly taken my performance to the next level. Before training I tend to feel mentally half in and half out of what I do. When I take Powershot I somehow find myself more focused, as the workout progresses and I actually feel stronger with every single rep. It is shocking and incredible!
I really noticed the value of this supplement when I had run out for a couple of weeks when I couldn?t hit my numbers weeks before a big competition. I would ask myself why I was putting the bell down during my sets when I wasn?t actually tired, sore or weak and I knew it was because my mind wasn?t in it. Fortunately, I received my next bottle of Powershot days before the competition. I achieved MS with a sinus infection and forearm injury. I strongly believe that Powershot contributed to my ability to stay focused on what I needed to do and gave me the strength and endurance to last the entire 10 minutes despite inconsistent and failed efforts in training. I would and do recommend this product to every serious athlete out there!
Jennifer Hintenberger, kettlebell instructor and Master Of Sport
Before I started training with mark I was not using any time of Pre workout drink. I felt sluggish and tired during my workouts and after. Within a few days of training with Mark and using his Power shot pre-workout drink I noticed a difference, I felt more engergetic and was not as fatigued at the end of my workouts. I can do more longer with the help of the powershot pre workout drink
Deryk Engelland, Pittsburgh Penguins
On my heavier jerk sets (28kg+), I noticed some definite improvement in my focus and my ability to generate power. The 32kg simply didn't feel as heavy anymore. My breathing and concentration on jerks overall was improved. This helped me with pacing and relaxing between the reps. In Short, it definitely helped me with my power endurance on these heavier sets, and jerks overall. On snatches, I didn't really notice anything, but I consider that more of a cardio/and slightly less power exercise.
Catherine Imes, WKC Master Trainer and Master Of Sport
In 30 short minutes I transform from a tired guppy to a hungry, angry great white. In fighting the top guys have a difference of maybe 1%, so the guy who puts in that extra 1% wins the fight, PowerShot gives me that 1% and then some.
Dale Hartt, Professional MMA Fighter
LOVE the PowerShot drink! I think there is a lot of good thing happening with my nutrition program so it?s difficult to attribute the results to just one variable. However, after taking it, I killed tonight?s workout. Felt easy. Lungs were open, energy was up and recovered VERY fast between sets.
Ken Blackburn, Associate Head Instructor with the International Kettlebell & Fitness Federation
It's been about a month, and I have used the pre-workout drink consistently, before my training. I am pleased that the results now, compared to when I first gave you feedback are still just as good. I am sure Power Shot has been instrumental in my recovery between sets (or even while I rest in the rack position), during my long cycle training for next month's IKFF Nationals. I definitely will be packing some with me, when I head in to Detroit next month to compete.
Sincere Hogan, Owner and coach of New Warrior Fitness Training & Htown Kettlebells, based in Houston, TX
My workouts at Philippi Sports Institute are quite intense. Mark had me begin using Powershot when I first started training and I noticed an increase in strength and endurance almost immediately.
Rommel Beck, Professional Basketball Player - Europe
Mike, thanks for sending me a bottle of the Phillipi Sports Nutrition Power Shot to try. The first thing I noticed was that I had enhanced focus during my workouts. The second thing was that I recovered more quickly in between repeated hard efforts during my workouts. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Power Shot did help improve my performance during training, and I feel that it contributed to some PRs set while using it.
Steve Shafley
My son Jesse was 13 years old and 126 lbs when he started using Powershot. He felt the strength improvements during his workouts almost immediately. After 5 months a he was a solid 144 lbs.
Rob Norris, Father of young football player
In order to maintain a high level of energy level during my two-a-day workout schedule, I drink Powershot. It gives me an extra boost without crashing like many other sports drinks I have tried?and it tastes good.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a container of PowerShot Last?
Each container contains 30 two scoop servings. If you weigh 150lbs or less you only need one scoop which takes each container up to 60 servings. You only use PowerShot on workout days. If you workout three times per week and weigh over 150lbs, one container will last ten weeks. If you workout four times per week and weigh over 150lbs, a container will last just over seven weeks.
How long before a workout should I take PowerShot?
30-45 minutes minutes works well. Personally I like to take it 30 minutes before each workout. You may find it works best if you take it an hour before you workout. Experiment and see what works best for you. You can take it sublingually by putting a scoop or two in your mouth and chasing with water or simply mix one or two scoops with 8oz of water.
Can I take PowerShot with a meal?
That is not the best way to use PowerShot. What I do is have a protein shake two hours before training and then take PowerShot thirty minutes before workouts.
How long does it take to notice the benefits?
You should notice it at the very first workout. Do not expect a caffeine or stimulant based response. What you should notice is more strength, muscle fullness, endurance, and recovery in between sets. I find that I do not have to rest as long in between each set and that I can handle high volume workouts much better when taking PowerShot. You know it works for sure when you stop taking it before workouts. However, once you start using it you will not want to train without it.
Can women use PowerShot?
Yes PowerShot is for both men and women.
Why is PowerShot more expensive then other pre workout supplements on the market?
The same reason why a Mercedes Benz is more expensive than a Saturn. PowerShot contains everything you want in a pre workout drink at amounts that actually work. Many companies add effective ingredients to pre workout powders but not in the amounts that are actually effective. You get what you pay for and believe me PowerShot is worth paying for.
Can I see a snapshot of the actual Label?
Do you offer a money back guarantee if the product does not deliver?
Absolutely, buy a container and give it a shot for thirty days. If you are not satisfied then let me know and a full refund will be set-up. However, make sure to step up your workouts. Don't buy PowerShot if you train with the intensity of a step aerobics devotee. You actually have to be on a solid training program if you expect to see a difference. My website is loaded with such programs. Do some research, pick one, and get started.
