A synergistic blend of 15+ clean ingredients, precision-engineered to sharpen your court vision, accelerate your decision-making, and fuel your performance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Every ingredient serves speed, decision-making, and mental stamina: Alpha-GPC for mental processing, natural caffeine + L-theanine for calm intensity, L-Arginine for cerebral blood flow, and B-vitamins for energy metabolism.
No beta-alanine tingles or heavy, pump-focused vasodilators. We use L-Arginine specifically to enhance blood flow to the brain and muscles for performance, not to create a distracting "pump". You stay light and reactive for tighter handles and faster first steps.
Natural caffeine is paired with L-theanine to smooth the rise and protect decision-making. Key nootropics like Alpha-GPC and Inositol further support your focus and composure in high-tempo play.
The modern game is mentally demanding. We included the adaptogen Asian Ginseng and the neuro-signaling support of Inositol to help you manage in-game stress and mental fatigue, keeping you locked-in during high-pressure moments.
No proprietary blends, no sugar, and no artificial bloat. Mixes clean and sits light so you can take it 20–30 minutes pre-tip without risking heaviness or GI distraction.
Every ingredient has a specific, evidence-backed purpose for elite cognitive and physical performance.
The core building block for acetylcholine, the brain's "speed" neurotransmitter.
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.
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.
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.
A precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO) that enhances circulation to your brain and muscles.
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.
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".
Sustained mental sharpness late in the game, reduced mental fatigue, and a better mind-muscle connection for faster reactions and more controlled movements.
Engineered for explosive plays without wrecking shooting touch.
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.
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.
Improved jump height and sprint output; lower perceived exertion keeps you competing late. Alertness helps reads, closeouts, and split‑second decision‑making under pressure.
Pairs with caffeine to deliver “calm intensity” — energy without jitters.
Elevates alpha‑wave activity for relaxed concentration and smoother attention shifting. Blunts caffeine‑induced edginess so hands stay steady and reads stay clear.
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.
Fewer rushed plays, better shot selection, calmer free throws, and less turnover‑prone play in high‑tempo runs.
A key secondary messenger that helps modulate neurotransmitter activity for mood stability.
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.
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.
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.
A classic adaptogen that helps your body and mind resist fatigue and stress.
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.
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.
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.
Thiamin (0.4mg), Riboflavin (0.43mg), Niacin (5.2mg), B6 (0.56mg), Folate (133mcg), B12 (0.8mcg), Pantothenic Acid (1.66mg)
Co‑enzymes for glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, neurotransmitter synthesis (focus/coordination), and red‑blood‑cell support for oxygen delivery.
Coverage levels “top up” status without megadoses — insurance against performance being limited by minor shortfalls, especially in heavy training blocks.
Steady energy release for repeated possessions; supports clean nerve signaling for dribble control and timing on catches and releases.
Sugar‑free, gut‑friendly mix built to energize without a crash.
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 beta‑alanine tingles, no heavy citrulline bloat — nothing that risks shaky hands or a heavy gut when you need precision and footspeed.
Feel light and reactive through warm‑ups and opening minutes; energy profile stays smooth so touch and timing remain consistent.
