HOW SHOULD A GOOD PERFORMANCE/GAMING BOOSTER BE STRUCTURED?

35

As you often ask us to compare GAMINATE (its composition and effects) to other similar products you have heard of or even tried, we would like to briefly explain to you what the general characteristics of such a product should be and what you should pay particular attention to when assessing its composition.

ACTION

Products in this category are essentially designed to fulfil two tasks, and these are felt immediately after consumption:

  • Provide a 'surge of energy
  • Noticeably improve cognitive functionsuch as the ability to focus attention, speed of reaction to stimuli, speed of association, or easier assimilation and memorisation of information.
    Generally speaking, they are supposed to perceptibly improve our overall mental performance.

On top of this, the really top products provide yet another level of performance, which is extremely important in terms of the overall feeling of a surge of so-called mental energy:

  • General improvement in mood and significant increase in motivation to act

It is only these 3 levels combined together in one product that give that unique feeling of acting completely different from that commonly known 'energy boost' after consuming standard energy drinks.

Let us now take a slightly closer look at each of these activities individually:

Re 1) ENERGY IMPROVEMENT seems to be relatively straightforward in any energy product - just use the right dose of caffeine and the 'case is made'.

And this is the case with standard energy drinks, as well as in weak or mediocre gaming boosters, in which only pure caffeine alone is responsible for the so-called "energy kick".

In the best products, such as GAMINATE, caffeine is supported by a matrix of other ingredients (including L-theanine, of which GAMINATE contains as much as 200 mg), which act synergistically to modulate its action, making it less "gross" (sometimes even causing convulsions) and more "energy hangover", This makes its action less "gross" (sometimes even causing convulsions) and ending in an "energy hangover", and gives the feeling of a surge of stable, long-lasting energy, which slowly fades over time, without causing any unpleasant effects either during or at the end of the effect.

Ad 2) IMPROVING COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS - The majority of gaming/performance booster products promise such an effect, while the truth is that very few of them are physically able to deliver such an effect at all.

In order for a product to be able to really provide such an effect, it must contain a complex of at least several specialised ingredients (each of which works in a slightly different way and only when acting together do they deliver the intended effect) and in suitably high doses, and it is impossible to take shortcuts here, as the intended effect will simply not be felt by anyone.


In turn, what average producers do most often is:

(a) the use of only 1-2 ingredients in appropriate doses, which unfortunately will not translate into the claimed effect

(b) the use of a long list of ingredients - making the composition look very professional to the average user - but in homeopathic doses that simply have no right to work. This 'treatment' is so popular that it already has a name in the industry for 'dusting'.
On the market, one can find products positioned as "premium" having in their composition, for example, 1 mg of NALT, where the dose necessary for any action is several hundred times higher, or 1 mg of ATP, which our body uses daily tens of millions of times more!!!

(c) the attribution of properties to specific ingredients that they absolutely do not possess - a relatively rare thing, although even recently such a product has come into our hands

Ad 3) IMPROVING NASTROOM AND MOTIVATION FOR ACTION

It is extremely rare for gaming/performance boosters to address this type of impact precisely and intentionally as well, and it is extremely important for the overall feeling of this so-called positive mental energy.
It is of no use a surge of physical arousal if it is not accompanied by a sense of positive motivation for action.

Obviously, achieving such an effect requires another complex of specialised ingredients with a dedicated effect (such as l-tryptophan or l-tyrosine, of which we have as much as 750mg and 500m respectively in GAMINATE), which is why practically no one does it, because it significantly increases the cost of the product, reducing its margin....

If a gaming booster does not meet these 3 criteria, it is not a good product. Most gaming boosters are limited not only to the first 2, but in fact only to the 1st action, providing only a caffeine-derived energy kick and only simulating the 2nd action (improved cognitive function), making them really the equivalent of standard energy drinks sold only as a powder bearing the 'proud' name of supplement.

In GAMINATE, you will find a complex of 12 specialised ingredients, further supplemented with coconut water and a vitamin complex used in such doses as to ensure a real effect, perceptible by the vast majority of consumers, covering all 3 types of action mentioned.

The 10.5g per serving of GAMINATE contains as much as 8g of active ingredients (the remainder are "flavour" additives), while in other products the level of active ingredients remains at around 3g per serving, with the remainder made up of fillers (we advise you to check what is listed first in the ingredients - active ingredients, fillers or, possibly, sugar substitutes with the same calorific and glycaemic index as sugar).

SUMMARY briefly - we believe that GAMINATE is the most likely (we take into account all those we have been able to find) the best performance/gaming booster in the world in terms of composition and action and we'd love to know any viable counter-proposals 🙂
