19+ clean ingredients mixed before your basketball session for you to give full effort on the court.
A precise blend of natural caffeine, taurine, and B-vitamins supports your metabolic pathways to provide smooth, game-long energy. The result is no mid-game crash, letting you maintain your intensity on both ends of the floor and finish stronger than your opponent.
Our neuro-cognitive matrix combines 200mg of natural caffeine with 100mg of L-theanine. This synergy sharpens mental acuity and reaction time while actively preventing the jitters that can compromise shooting mechanics, keeping you locked-in and composed during high-pressure moments.
Natural caffeine stimulates the central nervous system to increase motor unit recruitment and power output, while Taurine supports the efficiency of muscle contractions. This translates to a more explosive first step and improved vertical jump height for rebounding and finishing at the rim.
A functional matrix of electrolytes including Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium supports optimal fluid balance and neuromuscular function. This helps maintain muscle contractility and relaxation, defending against the late-game cramps that can sideline you.
Engineered for basketball performance. Clean energy, crisp focus, hydration, and late‑game consistency without the bodybuilding “pump” bloat. Five quick reasons athletes choose Dark Matter:
Every ingredient serves speed, decision‑making, and repeat sprint ability: natural caffeine + L‑theanine for calm intensity, taurine for neuromuscular efficiency, B‑vitamins for neurotransmitter support, and electrolyte citrates for fluid balance and nerve firing.
No heavy vasodilators or water‑retaining fillers. You stay light on your feet for tighter handles, faster first steps, and cleaner shooting mechanics—especially when fatigue sets in.
Natural caffeine is paired with L‑theanine to smooth the rise, keep heart rate sensible, and protect touch and decision‑making. Taurine supports reaction speed and coordination in high‑tempo play.
Sodium, potassium, and magnesium (as citrate salts) help maintain fluid balance, muscle contraction/relaxation, and nerve transmission—so footwork stays sharp and calves/hamstrings don’t lock up.
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.
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 repeated sprint output; lower perceived exertion keeps you sprinting late. Alertness helps reads, closeouts, and split‑second decision‑making under pressure.
Take 45–60 minutes pre‑tip for peak effect by the opening possessions.
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. The stack improves reaction time and decision accuracy versus caffeine alone — ideal for ball handling, shooting, and end‑game execution.
Fewer rushed plays, better shot selection, calmer free throws, and less turnover‑prone play in high‑tempo runs.
Supports calcium handling, cellular hydration, and antioxidant defense.
Optimizes excitation–contraction coupling so muscles fire cleanly rep after rep. Acts as an osmolyte to keep muscle cells hydrated and resilient across repeated sprints and jumps.
1 g is a practical, game‑safe dose that plays well with caffeine — helping sustain output without adding stim load. Over time, supports endurance and recovery between sessions.
Legs stay “springy” deeper into the fourth; fewer sloppy reps from neuromuscular fatigue; supports consistent jump height on back‑to‑back plays.
Magnesium 36 mg • Sodium 60 mg • Potassium 130 mg
Keep action potentials crisp (Na⁺/K⁺) and relaxation cycles smooth (Mg²⁺). Citrate salts absorb well and are gentle on the gut.
Light pre‑game amounts top off levels without heaviness; pair with your in‑game Hydration mix for full replacement as sweat loss ramps up.
Reduced calf/hamstring twinges in OT, steadier footwork, and reliable hand–eye signals for shooting and passing under fatigue.
Thiamin 0.4 mg • Riboflavin 0.43 mg • Niacin 5.2 mg • B6 0.56 mg • Folate 133 µg DFE • B12 0.8 µg • Pantothenic Acid 1.66 mg
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 or flushing — 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 osmolality low for quick gastric emptying and clean stomach feel pre‑tip. A touch of carbs assists fluid uptake with sodium 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.
