capros

Capros is an Amla extract known to support endothelial function and nitric oxide production, enhancing muscle pump.

Clinical Dose: 500mgFound in: 6 products

What Does Capros Do?

Capros is a patented, highly bioactive extract of Amla (Indian Gooseberry) that functions as a potent nitric oxide (NO) booster and cardiovascular health aid. Unlike many pump ingredients that provide a temporary surge, Capros focuses on improving endothelial function for sustained blood flow and long-term vascular health.

  • Enhanced Nitric Oxide Production: It stimulates the enzyme nitric oxide synthase, leading to significant vasodilation and better nutrient delivery to working muscles during your sets.
  • Endothelial Support: Capros is clinically shown to improve the health of the blood vessel lining, ensuring smoother blood flow and reduced arterial stiffness.
  • Potent Antioxidant Protection: Its high tannin content neutralizes free radicals produced during intense exercise, protecting NO molecules from premature degradation.
  • Cardiovascular Longevity: Beyond the gym, it helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and systemic circulation, making it a dual-purpose performance and health ingredient.

Clinical vs. Gym Bro Dosing

TierDoseNotes
Maintenance250mgGood for general heart health and mild antioxidant support.
Clinical Standard500mgThe most common dose used in studies for endothelial improvement.
Performance Peak1,000mgOften found in premium, non-stimulant pump formulas for maximum vasodilation.

Key Insight: To maximize the "pump" effect, Capros is best used daily rather than just as a pre-workout stimulant, as its effects on endothelial health and blood vessel flexibility are cumulative over time.

Side Effects & Warnings

  • Digestive Sensitivity: Some users may experience mild stomach upset or acidity if taken in high doses on an empty stomach due to the natural acidity of the fruit extract.
  • Blood Sugar Interaction: Because Amla can influence glucose metabolism, those on diabetic medication should monitor their levels as it may have a synergistic lowering effect.

Tip: Since Capros is a water-soluble extract, ensure you are staying well-hydrated. The "pump" it provides relies on adequate blood volume, which is heavily dependent on your water and electrolyte intake.
