[Reflex] Performance Matrix

The intention of a pre workout drink is not only to fuel your workout but for you to enjoy your training, maximise your natural potential and exploit sports nutrition science for your advantage.

Developed with the latest research and sports nutrition innovations, reflex have re-worked, re-designed their all ready potent and fantastic tri-matrix to provide you with the absolute best key nutrients and performance enhancing compounds so you can take your training to new heights.

Performance matrix highlights several key problems faced by intense athletes and helps solve these troubles to allow you to train hard all the time.
One worry of hardcore athletes is catabolism, muscle wastage, to prevent this 7000mg of BCAA's are included in this great tasting pre workout drink. This high amount of key amino acids will help prevent catabolism by stimulating protein synthesis.

Fatigue is a horrible experience, there is nothing worse then when your mind is willing but your body cannot keep up. A lot of athletes have the strong mental attitude to achieve success unfortunately we are not machines and so will suffer from fatigue eventually. Reflex understand that for strength training athletes and athletes who train extensively in a variety of sports lactic acid can prevent them from achieving success.
There is a powerful blend of beta-alanine and citrulline malate to increase endurance which is achieved by buffering acidity and PH balance in muscle tissue.

Arginine is one amazing amino acid, it has the capability to improve your training by providing better pumps in the gym. However it does have a flaw in the sense it is not metabolized effectively. In comparison, a recent study suggests that the precursor to arginine AKG, citruline shows more promising prospects for vasodilation and retaining elevated levels of arginine in the blood.

The benefits of supplementing with creatine is very clear to those who have used it before in the past, increasing strength exponentially! Containing creapure, reflex's very potent brand of creatine monohydrate as well as some CEE (creatine Ethyl Ester) your strength and recovery should be increased greatly.

Finally performance matrix, which so far is living up to its name, will enhance performance via keeping mental stimulation up, allowing you to focus with furious intensity on your training. This is achieved via a huge 1000mg of taurine as well as 200mg of caffeine.

Reflex is a brand with quality in the forefront of their mind constantly and this updated version of tri-matrix has not only lived up to its former version but will absolutely blow you away with its most scientific up to date ingredients. Definitely one of our most potent pre-workout drinks with an enjoyable taste too...what more can you ask for?

Performance Matrix, it’s the new name for our famous Tri-Matrix that’s been powering tens of thousands of peoples’ workouts for nearly a decade! The most potent formula to date is an improved formulation with effervescence for better mixing, increased levels of beta alanine and improved flavours.

It’s a sad fact that some of today’s pre-workout formulations are largely nothing more than caffeinated beverages with cocktails of ingredients that are under dosed, often unproven and undisclosed in their dosage.

The whole idea behind pre-workout supplementation is to help you get more from your workout - lift more weights, increase your strength and ultimately build more muscle. If you are genuinely serious about building muscle the last thing you want to do is waste money on a supplement that contains ingredients that are NOT scientifically proven to be effective.

Reflex Nutrition has been in the business since 1996 and has earned a reputation for manufacturing superior, high quality supplements that deliver results. The ethos behind every single product or ingredient is that it should be backed by science, or more to the point proven in real scientific studies.



Our pre-workout product Performance Matrix is a perfect example of what Reflex Nutrition delivers.

There are 5 key areas of interest that Performance Matrix addresses:
1. Stimulates Protein Synthesis.
2. Reduces Fatigue
3. Increases Strength
4. Increases mental focus
5. Raises blood Arginine levels for increased Pumps

Here’s how Performance Matrix sets the standard for an amazing workout :

Stimulating Protein Synthesis.
Arguably the most expensive and effective component of Performance Matrix. To help stimulate protein synthesis (muscle growth) we use the scientifically proven approach of high dose Branch Chain Amino Acids. BCAA’s are very expensive to manufacture costing as much as 300% more than other amino acids, its reason why many brands leave them out altogether or use tiny doses. By adopting our no compromise approach we have used 7,000mg of Branch Chained Amino Acids per serving which replicates the dosages in a ground breaking study showing the positive effects of BCAA’s on protein synthesis.

Reducing Fatigue
The harder, more intensely you train and the more weights you lift all lead to lead to great results. However, when you start to train more intensely your muscles will fatigue due to lactic acid, ammonia and acidity build up. Scientific studies have proven that both Citrulline Malate and Beta-Alanine increase endurance. Citrulline works by reducing the buildup of ammonia in your muscles whilst Beta-Alanine, the precursor to Carnosine, helps to buffer acidity/pH changes within muscle tissue. Industry leading doses of 3,000mgs of Citrulline Malate and 1800mgs Beta-Alanine are found in just 2 scoops of Performance Matrix.

Increasing Strength
The best Creatine in the World; by combining the latest German Creatine technology we offer a “CREAPURE only” solution of 5,000mg per serving for your goals in strength and building muscle. This uncompromising approach to our creatine selection guarantees that you only receive the finest creatine that is proven in numerous scientific studies to increase strength, endurance and muscle mass. Whilst other supplements contain different forms of creatine like CEE, few of these other forms can claim to be as safe or as effective as CREAPURE.

Increasing the “PUMP”
The “PUMP” experienced when lifting weights can be increased by elevating levels of Nitric Oxide in your body. The accepted method is by elevating levels of Arginine in your body. A recent scientific study proves that the fastest and most effective method is by taking the Arginine pre-cursor Citrulline and not Arginine AKG. This is because the Arginine is not metabolized effectively and results in lower increases in blood Arginine levels compared to Citrulline. In addition to 3,000mg of Citrulline per serving, Performance Matrix now contains our new vpNOSTM polyphenol complex at 114mg for increased vasodilatation and anti oxidant support.

Focus and Concentration, mind over matter
They say that the mind is stronger than muscle. Research and experience tells us that the best workouts come from great focus and a positive attitude, so we've added ingredients to help you get into that zone. Each scoop of Performance Matrix contains 200mg of pure caffeine along with 1000mg of Taurine. *For those who do not want caffeine please use our non Caffeinated variety .

Using Performance Matrix
This product is used by a variety of people who are serious about their chosen sport and who want to maximize their performance, development and recovery. To be used 20-30 minutes in advance of a workout.
