What's in Workout + Energize: Ingredient Glossary

• Workout + Energize is completely stimulant-free — Green Tea Extract contains less than 1mg of caffeine, so the energy you feel comes from your cells, not your nervous system.*
  
  
• Creatine Monohydrate and Cordyceps work together to support cellular ATP production, the kind of energy your muscles actually run on.*
  
  
• Calcium HMB (1.5g) is one of the most researched compounds for supporting lean muscle mass and reducing exercise-induced muscle breakdown.*
  
  
• The organic whole food base — Beet, Pomegranate, Coconut Water, Hibiscus, and more — delivers antioxidants and natural nitrates that support circulation and recovery.*
  
  
• Every ingredient is chosen to support movement of any kind: lifting, running, yoga, group classes. No jitters. No crash.*

Amla (191mg)

Amla, also called Indian Gooseberry, is one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is exceptionally high in Vitamin C and polyphenols that help combat oxidative stress — the cellular wear-and-tear that accumulates during intense exercise. In Workout + Energize, Amla adds a natural layer of antioxidant support to help the body manage the demands of regular training.* Its tangy brightness also contributes a subtle citrus note to the Blood Orange Pomegranate flavor.

Beet (287mg)

Beet is one of the most well-researched performance foods in sports nutrition. It is naturally rich in dietary nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide — a molecule that supports healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles. A 2018 review in the Annual Review of Nutrition found that dietary nitrate may help support exercise performance by improving muscular efficiency and oxygen utilization.* In Workout + Energize, Beet is included as an organic whole food source of natural nitrates to support endurance and circulation during training.*

Calcium HMB / Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate (1,500mg)

Calcium HMB — full name Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate — is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine and one of the most researched compounds for supporting lean muscle mass.* At 1.5g, this dose falls at the lower end of the 1.5–3g/day range studied in clinical research. Some studies have found greater effects at 3g/day; this dose reflects the formula's positioning as a multi-ingredient daily-use blend. The 2025 International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand on HMB confirms that HMB may help support lean muscle mass, reduce exercise-induced muscle protein breakdown, and support recovery from resistance exercise.* Farmana includes HMB at a meaningful dose because this is a compound that requires quantity to work — and 1.5g is where the research points.*

Carnitine L-Tartrate / L-Carnitine (380mg)

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring compound found in skeletal muscle that plays a key role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, where they are burned for energy.* In other words, it helps your body use fat as fuel during exercise. The Carnitine L-Tartrate form used in this blend is highly bioavailable and well-tolerated. A 2021 systematic review in Nutrients found that L-Carnitine supplementation may support exercise performance, particularly during moderate- to high-intensity efforts.* It rounds out the energy and endurance profile of Workout + Energize at the cellular level.*

Coconut Water (764mg)

Coconut Water is nature's electrolyte drink, naturally containing potassium, magnesium, and sodium — the minerals your muscles lose through sweat. In Workout + Energize, it serves a dual role: providing natural electrolytes to help support hydration during exercise, and contributing to the smooth, palatable texture of the blend.* Coconut Water fits Farmana's Farm to Function philosophy perfectly — a whole food that brings both nutrition and function to every serving.*

Cordyceps (273mg)

Cordyceps is a functional mushroom with a long history in traditional Chinese medicine, prized for its connection to endurance and vitality. In modern research, its most studied mechanism is its ability to support cellular ATP production — the energy currency your muscles use during exercise. A 2017 study in the Journal of Dietary Supplements found that supplementation with a Cordyceps militaris blend may improve VO₂max and time to exhaustion after consistent use.* A 2020 study in Mycobiology further linked Cordyceps to upregulation of ATP generation pathways.* This is exactly why Cordyceps belongs in a stimulant-free energy blend: it supports energy from your cells, not from your nervous system.*

Cranberry (143mg)

Cranberry is rich in proanthocyanidins and polyphenols — plant compounds with well-established antioxidant properties. During intense exercise, the body generates free radicals that can contribute to inflammation and delayed recovery. Cranberry's antioxidant compounds may help support the body's natural defense against exercise-induced oxidative stress.* In Workout + Energize, Cranberry adds to the whole food antioxidant base and complements the blend's Blood Orange Pomegranate flavor profile.

Creatine Monohydrate (900mg)

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements in sports nutrition, with decades of research supporting its role in helping the body regenerate ATP — the primary fuel source for short bursts of power and muscular effort.* A 2023 meta-analysis in Nutrients found that creatine supplementation combined with resistance training was associated with meaningful increases in regional muscle hypertrophy.* a daily dose that contributes to phosphocreatine support over time alongside dietary creatine sources. Most creatine research uses 3–5g/day for maintenance; those seeking the full studied dose may supplement additional creatine monohydrate. This dose reflects the formula's positioning as a low-calorie, multi-ingredient daily-use blend.

FiberSMART — Tapioca Fiber (1g)

FiberSMART is Farmana's organic prebiotic tapioca fiber. It serves as a source of soluble fiber that feeds beneficial bacteria in the gut, which may help support digestive comfort during and after exercise.* Many athletes experience GI discomfort from pre-workout products with poor-quality fillers or artificial ingredients. Tapioca fiber is gentle, clean, and easy to tolerate. In Workout + Energize, FiberSMART also contributes to the smooth, mixable texture that makes this blend easy to drink on the go.

Ginger (67mg)

Ginger is a root with a long track record in both traditional medicine and modern research. Its active compounds — gingerols and shogaols — are associated with properties that may support the body's normal recovery response, and may help support muscle recovery after exercise.* Ginger also has a well-documented record of supporting digestive comfort, which matters when you're taking a performance blend before training. In Workout + Energize, a small but intentional dose of Ginger adds functional benefit and complements the citrus flavor of the blend.*

Green Tea Extract (50mg, less than 1mg caffeine)

Green Tea Extract is included in Workout + Energize for its polyphenol and EGCG content — plant antioxidants that may help support the body's response to oxidative stress during exercise.* This is not a stimulant ingredient. The extract in this blend contains less than 1mg of caffeine — an amount too small to produce any stimulant effect. A 2018 study in Physiology & Behavior found that green tea extract supplementation may help support post-exercise muscle recovery.* The intent here is antioxidant support, not energy stimulation.

Hibiscus (573mg)

Hibiscus flower is packed with anthocyanins — the vibrant pigments that give it its deep red-pink color and contribute robust antioxidant activity. Hibiscus is also associated with support for healthy circulation and blood pressure levels already within the normal range.* At 573mg, Hibiscus is one of the larger ingredients in the organic base of Workout + Energize, contributing to both the nutritional profile and the beautiful color of the blend. It pairs naturally with the Blood Orange Pomegranate flavor.*

L-Glutamine (477mg)

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and plays a central role in muscle tissue repair and immune function — both of which take a hit during intense training. A 2015 study in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found that oral L-Glutamine supplementation may help support muscle strength recovery and reduce soreness following eccentric exercise.* At nearly 500mg per serving, the Glutamine in Workout + Energize is included to support the recovery side of training, helping you come back stronger to your next session.*

Lemon (1,146mg)

Lemon is the largest single ingredient by weight in the organic base of Workout + Energize — and for good reason. It provides natural Vitamin C and citric acid, which contribute antioxidant support and help with the absorption of other nutrients in the blend.* Citric acid also plays a direct role in the Krebs cycle, the cellular pathway your body uses to produce energy from food.* Beyond function, Lemon is the backbone of the bright, clean flavor that makes Workout + Energize easy and enjoyable to drink every day.

Magnesium (191mg)

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and ATP synthesis — the very process that produces cellular energy.* According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, magnesium plays a key role in exercise performance and muscle function, and many active individuals fall short of adequate intake.* At 191mg per serving, Magnesium in Workout + Energize supports the engine that powers your training — from the first rep to the last.*

Pomegranate (1,050mg)

Pomegranate is one of the most antioxidant-dense fruits on the planet, rich in punicalagins and ellagic acid — compounds that may help reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress and support muscle recovery.* A 2018 systematic review in the British Journal of Nutrition found that pomegranate supplementation was associated with improvements in exercise performance markers and post-exercise recovery in healthy adults.* At over a gram per serving, Pomegranate is the second-largest ingredient in Workout + Energize and a cornerstone of the blend's recovery-support profile.*

Spinach (191mg)

Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse, providing iron, folate, and natural nitrates in whole food form. Nitrates from leafy greens like Spinach are converted to nitric oxide in the body, which may help support healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles during exercise.* Spinach also contributes Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and magnesium, making it a compact multi-nutrient ingredient that earns its place in Farmana's Farm to Function philosophy. It brings real food nutrition without adding any flavor profile to the blend.

Spirulina (67mg)

Spirulina is a blue-green algae and one of the most nutrient-dense foods on Earth, providing plant-based protein, B vitamins, and the unique antioxidant phycocyanin, which gives it its distinctive deep color. It may help support the body's antioxidant defenses and healthy inflammatory response after strenuous exercise.* While the dose in Workout + Energize is small, Spirulina is a concentrated ingredient — even a modest amount contributes trace nutrients and antioxidant phytonutrients that support the whole food base of the formula.

Stevia Extract

Stevia Extract is the only sweetener in Workout + Energize. It is a zero-calorie, natural sweetener derived from the Stevia rebaudiana leaf, and it contains no artificial compounds, sugar alcohols, or added sugars. Farmana uses Stevia because it keeps the blend clean-label and great-tasting without spiking blood sugar or adding unnecessary calories. It's one of the reasons Workout + Energize fits comfortably into virtually any dietary approach — whether you're watching sugar intake or simply prefer keeping things simple and real.

Vitamin D3 (1,880 IU)

Vitamin D3 is the most bioavailable form of Vitamin D — the "sunshine vitamin" that most people don't get enough of, especially during winter months or with an indoor-heavy lifestyle. According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, Vitamin D plays a role in muscle function, calcium absorption, and immune support.* Adequate Vitamin D levels have been associated with better muscle strength and physical performance outcomes.* At 1,880 IU, the dose in Workout + Energize is meaningful and complements the movement-focused intent of the blend.*

Wheatgrass (239mg)

Wheatgrass is a young wheat plant harvested before it develops gluten-containing grain, making it naturally gluten-free. It is rich in chlorophyll, vitamins, enzymes, and amino acid precursors that support cellular health.* Wheatgrass adds a concentrated dose of plant-based micronutrients to the organic base, contributing to the overall nutrient density that Farmana builds into every blend. It is a classic superfood ingredient that brings real food complexity to an already robust formula.

Workout + Energize is Farmana's Farm to Function™ blend for strength, endurance, and recovery. It pairs seven research-backed functional ingredients — including Calcium HMB (1.5g), Creatine Monohydrate, L-Carnitine, and L-Glutamine — with 14 organic whole food ingredients including Beet, Pomegranate, Cordyceps, and Coconut Water. It is completely stimulant-free, with less than 1mg of caffeine total. The energy it delivers comes from cellular ATP production — from your muscles, not your nervous system.* Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, and Non-GMO. Add it to water 15-30 minutes before any kind of movement.*
