THE SCIENCE

We believe in the less-is-more approach to supplementation. Many supplement companies are packing their products with hundreds of ingredients, many of which are unproven. This results in polluted products with fractional doses of nutrients. Do micrograms of exotic flowers or barley grass really increase my performance? Probably not.

Here at Fasted Athlete, we believe in a minimalist approach to supplementation. Let’s get most of our nutrients from high-quality foods and supplement the rest. We only include the best ingredients possible and we are fully transparent. No weird proprietary blends or fillers. Only what you need, nothing you don’t. We encourage anyone interested in the benefits of Fasted Athlete products to do their research on our ingredients. We are confident in what you will find.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Mental Focus

Energy Boost

Cellular Repair

Recently, there has been a wave of scientific research showing the health benefits that may be related to lion’s mane mushrooms. Researchers have found that this mushroom may help increase memory function, promote cellular nerve growth, and increase mental focus. We use a potent extract of the lion’s mane mushroom so you get all of what you need and nothing else.

Cordyceps Mushroom

Increased Strength

Improved Endurance

Decreased Inflammation

The cordyceps mushrooms have been used in Eastern cultures for centuries. Studies show that this mushroom may help with boosting exercise performance by increasing the body’s production of ATP, the mechanism that delivers energy to the muscles. Cordyceps may also contribute to stabilized blood sugar levels and decreased inflammation. Our cordyceps are extracts, so you get all the benefits of the mushroom, without any of the fillers found in other products.

Di-Caffeine Malate

Sustained Energy

Sharpened Focus

Eliminate Afternoon Dips

Coffee and teas have been around for hundreds of years and the benefits of the caffeine molecule has been widely studied. Studies show that caffeine may help reduce fatigue, increase focus, and increase power output. However, we have all experienced the crash after a caffeinated beverage. Ready for a solution? Introducing di-caffeine malate, a form of caffeine that binds two molecules of caffeine to one molecule of malic acid. The result is a time-released, low dose of caffeine that typically lasts around 8 hours. By adding Lift to your morning coffee routine, you may experience all the benefits of the caffeine without the inevitable crash.

Creatine Monohydrate

Lean Muscle

ATP Energy

Increase Power

Gone are the days where creatine was just a “gym-guy” supplement. Decades of scientific studies show that supplementing this naturally occurring molecule derived from amino acids may be beneficial to all adults, regardless of their fitness levels. Creatine may contribute to significant increases in strength, endurance, power, and energy. Creatine may also help boost your mental performance by increasing the body’s ability to produce ATP. Fasted Athlete is the first company to weave a low-dose of creatine into a nootropic supplement.

Try Lift

Intermittent Fasting Explained

What’s in the name? Why is it Fasted Athlete?

At Fasted Athlete, we believe that there are multiple lifestyles and food choices that can lead to great health. Whether that is intermittent fasting, keto, paleo, vegan, carnivore, etc. Experimenting with several different ways of eating can help you find the one that is right for you. The key is to be brutally honest with yourself. How do you feel? Is this sustainable over time? Does this promote long term health? Take note of changes in your energy levels and body composition. Do this for 3-6 months and evaluate.

Most of us here at Fasted Athlete practice a form of intermittent fasting. If you feel inclined to try, we encourage you to research it for yourself and decide if it’s a fit. Start with shorter fasts and work your way up. Most people don’t eat while they sleep, so you got 8 hours there. Stop eating 2 hours before bedtime, push your breakfast out 2 hours, and have your straight, black coffee/tea in the morning. Pretty simple right?

Whatever you're down with, if it works and you’re happy, we are down with it. Lift is incredibly effective regardless of your eating lifestyle. Practice intermittent fasting? Great, Lift won’t break your fast. Perhaps you are keto or carnivore or vegan? No problem, Lift compliments those as well.

Here’s a few scientifically backed health benefits associated with intermittent fasting.
