RESEARCH

Support for Brain & Body

Zynamite-containing formulas have been studied in 10 clinical trials in both cognitive and physical performance settings.


Zynamite is described as a ‘non-stim’ ingredient. A clinical study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that while Zynamite and its combination with other ingredients, e.g Tigernut (chufa) had caffeine-like effects on performance of cognitively challenging tasks, it did not produce any changes in blood pressure, pulse, heart rate variability, or skin galvanic response, which are all well-documented with the higher amounts of caffeine required to produce significant cognitive effects.

Improvements in Cognitive Performance

A 2020 DBPLC human clinical trial examined the effectiveness of Zynamite on improving various measures of cognitive performance. Statistically significant improvements were seen in accuracy of performance, accuracy of attention and episodic memory.

Zynamite has been studied in conjunction with other botanicals to understand its potential for synergies  in other health and wellness applications. Zynamite PX is part of the Zynamite portfolio of ingredients that includes quercetin as a constituent. IT has show excellent resultss in sports performance and recovery applications.

ORIGIN STORY & INSIGHTS

A Global Search for Performance

PLT partner Nektium Pharma began a global search for an ingredient that could support both human cognitive function and sports performance in 2015. This search involved reviews of the ethnobotanical literature and plants used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

zynamite-insights-1-1

150 Botanical Candidates

Nektium’s own ethnobotanical research, including traditional uses of European medicinal and food plants. Over 150 botanical candidates were examined, and a wide number of tests were conducted to understand performance enhancement.

zynamite-insights-2-1

A prominent compound

The flavone mangiferin was found to be a prominent compound in a number of the original fifty candidate plants, including in the leaves of the domestic mango, Mangifera indica, and in plants belonging to the genera Hypericum, Salacia, Cyclopia, and Canscora.

zynamite-insights-3

Standardized Mangifera indica

The research team at Nektium developed an extract of Mangifera indica leaves standardized to the content of mangiferin – produced at Nektium’s cGMP facilities. This extract was trademarked Zynamite.

Water-Solubility Expands Your Delivery Options

Zynamite S is a new water-soluble grade of Zynamite to meet growing demand for innovative energy, sports, hydration and hybrid drinks. It is designed for use in applications such as RTDs and shots where solubility, heat stability and transparency in solution are key. Featuring a neutral taste, Zynamite S expands your opportunity to deliver this exciting ingredient.


Non-stim performance for an over-caffeinated world.

Many mental energy and sports performance ingredients that promote performance in fatigued or exhausted conditions utilize caffeine. Unfortunately, a number of people cannot or do not want to use caffeine because of tolerance or the widely known ‘jitters’ and ‘crash’ associated with this ingredient. Zynamite provides enhanced mental energy and improved performance under fatigued conditions without the stimulant characteristics of caffeine. From a physiological standpoint, it means that when ingested, Zynamite does not increase either the heart rate or blood pressure of test subjects

“The development of a water-soluble version of Zynamite and the continuing clinical program speak to a commitment by our innovation partner Nektium to supporting this ingredient into the future.”
