The playmaker's edge for your mind and body.

A synergistic blend of 15+ clean ingredients, precision-engineered to sharpen your court vision, accelerate your decision-making, and fuel your performance.

  • Sustained Mental Energy

    A precise blend of natural caffeine from green tea, adaptogenic Asian Ginseng, and B-vitamins supports your metabolic pathways. The result is smooth, crash-free energy that keeps your mind as sharp in the fourth quarter as it was at tip-off.

  • Elite Focus & Split-Second Decisions

    Our neuro-cognitive matrix combines Alpha-GPC with the proven synergy of 200mg natural caffeine and 100mg L-Theanine. This enhances court vision and accelerates decision-making, all while preventing the jitters that can compromise your shot.

  • Enhanced Blood Flow & Reaction

    L-Arginine boosts nitric oxide production to improve blood flow, delivering vital oxygen to your brain and muscles. This enhances your mind-to-muscle connection, translating to quicker reactions and a more decisive first step on both ends of the court.

  • Composure Under Pressure

    High-stakes moments require a cool head. Our formula includes Asian Ginseng, a powerful adaptogen, and Inositol to support neurotransmitter balance. This combination helps you manage in-game stress, ensuring your decision-making remains sharp when the game is on the line.

Performance Fuel for the Driven

Built specifically for basketball performance—clean energy, elite mental focus, and late-game composure without the bodybuilding “pump” bloat. Five quick reasons point guards choose Dark Matter:

Dark Matter Pre‑Game — clean, tested performance formula
EVIDENCE-LED FORMULA

Dark Matter Pre-Game is Scientifically Researched

Every ingredient has a specific, evidence-backed purpose for elite cognitive and physical performance.

NEUROTRANSMITTER FUEL • MENTAL PROCESSING

Alpha-GPC — 300 mg

The core building block for acetylcholine, the brain's "speed" neurotransmitter.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    Provides a highly bioavailable form of choline to the brain, directly supporting the synthesis of acetylcholine. This is crucial for high-speed cognitive functions like learning, memory recall, and focus.

  • CLINICAL DOSE & SYNERGY

    300 mg is a clinically-effective dose for tangible cognitive benefits. It works synergistically with caffeine to not just boost alertness, but also the brain's raw processing capacity.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Faster recognition of defensive schemes, quicker reads on pick-and-rolls, and better execution of complex plays under pressure. It's the fuel for a high basketball IQ.

CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW • NUTRIENT DELIVERY

L-Arginine HCl — 1,000 mg

A precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO) that enhances circulation to your brain and muscles.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    L-Arginine is converted into NO, a potent vasodilator. This widening of blood vessels increases blood flow, delivering more oxygen and critical nutrients to working neurons and muscle tissue.

  • DOSE DIALED FOR COGNITION

    While lower than bodybuilding doses, 1,000 mg is effective for promoting cerebral blood flow, supporting the demanding cognitive tasks of a playmaker without causing a distracting muscle "pump".

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Sustained mental sharpness late in the game, reduced mental fatigue, and a better mind-muscle connection for faster reactions and more controlled movements.

CENTRAL DRIVE • REACTION SPEED

Natural Caffeine — 200 mg (from green tea)

Engineered for explosive plays without wrecking shooting touch.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    Blocks adenosine so you feel less effort and more alert — translating to quicker first steps, faster defensive rotations, and sustained high‑intensity effort across quarters.

  • DOSE DIALED FOR SKILL SPORTS

    200 mg sits in the sweet spot for team‑sport athletes — strong ergogenic lift without the shaky over‑stimulation (common at 300–400 mg) that can throw off fine motor control and shooting rhythm.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Improved jump height and sprint output; lower perceived exertion keeps you competing late. Alertness helps reads, closeouts, and split‑second decision‑making under pressure.

CALM FOCUS • CLUTCH COMPOSURE

L‑Theanine — 100 mg

Pairs with caffeine to deliver “calm intensity” — energy without jitters.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    Elevates alpha‑wave activity for relaxed concentration and smoother attention shifting. Blunts caffeine‑induced edginess so hands stay steady and reads stay clear.

  • PROVEN 2:1 SYNERGY

    At 100 mg, it meaningfully “rounds” 200 mg caffeine. This 2:1 ratio is shown to improve reaction time and decision accuracy versus caffeine alone — ideal for end‑game execution.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Fewer rushed plays, better shot selection, calmer free throws, and less turnover‑prone play in high‑tempo runs.

NEURO-SIGNALING • MENTAL CALM

Inositol — 600 mg

A key secondary messenger that helps modulate neurotransmitter activity for mood stability.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    Inositol plays a crucial role in the signaling pathways for key neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Proper signaling is essential for mood stability, focus, and preventing feelings of being overwhelmed.

  • SUPPORTING MENTAL BALANCE

    The 600 mg dose supports cellular communication within the brain, contributing to a state of calm focus that complements the stimulating effects of the other ingredients.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Helps you stay level-headed and composed when the opponent goes on a run. Reduces mental errors born from frustration and keeps you locked into your game plan.

ADAPTOGENIC • STRESS RESILIENCE

Asian Ginseng Extract — 50 mg

A classic adaptogen that helps your body and mind resist fatigue and stress.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    As an adaptogen, Ginseng helps modulate the body's stress response (cortisol). This improves mental resilience, fights fatigue, and enhances cognitive function, especially during demanding tasks.

  • SUPPORTING ROLE

    While not a massive dose, 50 mg acts as a valuable support ingredient, bolstering the formula's ability to help you perform under the physical and mental pressures of the game.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Feeling less mentally drained during timeouts. The ability to bounce back quicker from a bad play and maintain focus during critical free throws or a final defensive stand.

ENERGY PATHWAYS • NEURO SUPPORT

B‑Complex Vitamins

Thiamin (0.4mg), Riboflavin (0.43mg), Niacin (5.2mg), B6 (0.56mg), Folate (133mcg), B12 (0.8mcg), Pantothenic Acid (1.66mg)

  • WHY THEY’RE HERE

    Co‑enzymes for glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, neurotransmitter synthesis (focus/coordination), and red‑blood‑cell support for oxygen delivery.

  • RIGHT‑SIZED DOSES

    Coverage levels “top up” status without megadoses — insurance against performance being limited by minor shortfalls, especially in heavy training blocks.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Steady energy release for repeated possessions; supports clean nerve signaling for dribble control and timing on catches and releases.

LIGHT FEEL • FAST UPTAKE

Low‑Calorie Base (2 g carbs)

Sugar‑free, gut‑friendly mix built to energize without a crash.

  • WHY IT’S HERE

    Keeps the formula light for quick gastric emptying and a clean stomach feel pre‑tip. A minimal touch of carbs can assist active ingredient uptake without spiking insulin.

  • NO “BODYBUILDING” DISTRACTIONS

    No beta‑alanine tingles, no heavy citrulline bloat — nothing that risks shaky hands or a heavy gut when you need precision and footspeed.

  • ON‑COURT TRANSLATION

    Feel light and reactive through warm‑ups and opening minutes; energy profile stays smooth so touch and timing remain consistent.
