Olympus Labs is proud to present the official write-up for CONQU3R UNLEASHED - Stim Free.

Several companies have been exposed for the practice of spiking protein with free form aminos instead of base protein powder. These unscrupulous companies are increasing their profit margins by adding cheap fillers to their products and deceiving the consumer. NEWSFLASH: The pre-workout category is far worse than the protein spiking fiasco. Whereas companies have been shamed into being more transparent with their protein formulations, similar treachery continues unabated in the pre-workout category.

Most pre-workouts on the market today are filled with heavy stimulants and rely on over stimulating the central nervous system (CNS) which, eventually, creates long term problems for individual users. These pre-workouts are specifically designed to trick you into feeling energized, but provide no real ergogenic benefit to your workout, and what's more? They leave you lethargic once the stimulant high subsides, and addicted to chasing that stim feeling again.

Another tactic that companies employ is including ingredients in their product that can be beneficial to your workout, but underdose them to the point that you do not realize any tangible benefits. They escape accountability by hiding behind a “proprietary blend” consisting of well known ingredients. Through pure marketing these supplement manufacturers are able to mask poorly formulated and underdosed ingredients behind a “proprietary blend,” calling their product a game changer. Do not be fooled, everyone knows how these ingredients should be dosed to be effective, it is no secret. These companies don't use proprietary blends to hide some sort of “magical formula” with the “perfect ratio” so competitors can't steal their idea. Their sole motivation is to maximize profits regardless of the ethical implications.

Olympus Labs has never condoned, nor have we ever needed to employ such tactics to sell our products. We only formulate innovative products that deliver results, based on clinically efficacious doses. We stand by our commitment to our mission statement:

Innovation. Value. Results.

These are the three pillars of our company. What that means for the consumer is effective products with clinically dosed ingredients, in a transparent formula. That is exactly what you will get in CONQU3R Unleashed.

CONQU3R Unleashed is an all-in-one formula that contains only the highest quality ingredients, including 5 patented ingredients, an unparalleled feat in sports nutrition! Furthermore, each ingredient is supported by human data, because there are no rodents allowed on Mount Olympus. But that's not enough, we carefully selected the doses to provide optimal results. CONQU3R Unleashed is comprised of 4 main matrices delivering laser focus, extreme energy, an incredible pump, and amazing endurance.

There may times when you don't want to take a stimulant prior to your workout. Maybe you are taking a “stim-break”. Maybe you are working out later in the day. Maybe you just don't want to ...Okay, no judgement! But that does not mean you to need to sacrifice the performance enhancing benefits from CONQU3R Unleashed. We developed an alternate version of CONQU3R Unleashed that does not contain any stimulants, to provide ultimate flexibility to the consumer . If the stimulants were removed from the formula does that mean you are getting less? No Way! We formulated two potent matrices, a Maximum Focus Matrix and a Maximum Adaptogen Matrix in place of the Immaculate Focus & Energy Matrix in the stimulant version. It has 0% stimulants but is still 100% effective!

The combination of the focus and adaptogen blends renders a state of alertness so intense it rivals stimulants so you can maintain your workout intensity. Since we vastly improved the focus aspect of CONQU3R Unleashed there was no other choice but to intensify the pump and endurance aspects to match the intensity. The outcome? The barriers to success have been removed, CONQU3R is now Unleashed!

Key Benefits:
•Laser Focus

•Incredible Energy

•Insane Pumps

•Amazing Endurance

Maximum Endurance Matrix:
If you are going to the gym and short staying your visit due to the inability of lifting any longer, you are missing out on precious gains. CONQU3R Unleashed has you covered with two ATP generating compounds, 2 g of Creatinol-O-Phosphate (COP) and 150 mg of ElevATP®. ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is known as the cell's energy currency. In fact, ATP production during weight-lifting or anaerobic events, such as high-intensity repeated, short but intense bursts of activity are largely fueled by anaerobic respiration and through another mechanism of action known as phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is how creatine exerts its potent ATP generating effects and it has been hypothesized that COP elicits its results via the same mechanism or by acting as an intracellular buffer.

Creatinol-O-Phosphate is a synthetic analogue of creatine, but it should not be confused with creatine as it does not carry the same benefits. It is actually metabolized as creatinol in the body once it loses the phosphorous group. It is a relatively new ingredient designed to aid in strength, performance, and recovery. Although COP has been shown to increase ATP like creatine, it has a higher rate of absorption in muscle tissue. This will result in greater contractility of muscles meaning users are able to carry out a longer anabolic load. Punishing your muscles for a longer period of time will help users gain more strength and size! COP has been proven to possess anti-ischemic and anti-arrhythmic activities associated with improved ionic balance and heart performance.

In a study of patients with acute myocardial infarction, the levels of six serum enzymes were investigated following supplementation with 3 g of COP. After 3 days, the six enzymes all decreased between 33% and 49% in the COP group as compared with the placebo group, reaching a degree of statistical significance of less than 0.01. The decrease in these enzymes was attributed to the protective action of COP on cell membrane permeability, in agreement with a series of previous studies, and suggests COP has a cardioprotective effect.

ElevATP® is a patented ingredient consisting of a proprietary blend of plant bio-inorganic trace minerals and a polyphenol-rich apple extract. ElevATP® will increase levels of ATP in human blood following ingestion. I know what you are thinking, oral Adenosine 5’-Triphosphate DiSodium (ATP) is already widely available. While that is true, ElevATP® seeks to remedy several issues with supplementation with oral ATP; its poor bioavailability and its tendency to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactic acid production.

In a double blind, placebo-controlled study, 18 generally healthy adults were given either a 150 mg dose of ElevATP® or 50 mg of an encapsulated silica oxide (placebo). The researchers measured an acute increase in blood levels of ATP by 64% (P=0.02) when compared to the placebo group. In addition, the ROS and lactate level in the supplemented group were unchanged.

A second study with 20 healthy subjects who had fasted overnight (12-16 hours) and were administered a single, 150 mg serving dose of ElevATP® also showed an increase in blood levels of ATP. The average levels of the control group were measured as 40% over baseline levels at 60 minutes and 28% over baseline levels at 120 minutes. Similar to the first study, ATP levels in cell-free plasma and lactate levels remained unchanged.

Incredible Pump Matrix:
If that endurance matrix wasn't powerful enough on its own, the pump matrix in CONQU3R Unleashed is composed of four ingredients: 4 g of L-citrulline, 2 g of HydroMax™ Glycerol, 1.5 g Nitrosigine™ and 1 g Agmatine that help reduce fatigue and also improve endurance. However, these four ingredients were primarily selected for their ability to increase blood flow. The pump effect achieved through the delivery of sufficient blood and oxygen to your muscles will ultimately lead to muscle growth. Of course CONQU3R Unleashed is designed with clinically effective doses to induce an insane pump, like nothing you have ever experienced.

L-citrulline increases arginine and ornithine plasma content, resulting in a spike in nitric oxide levels which gives you that sought after pump effect. But wait, if L-citrulline will increase plasma levels of arginine and ornithine why not just supplement with L-arginine and L-ornithine directly? The problem is that L-arginine and L-ornithine are not absorbed by the body as well as L-citrulline. You would need upwards of 10 g or more which may cause GI distress.

In a study in healthy males, L-citrulline dose-dependently increased AUC and Cmax of plasma L-arginine concentration more effectively than L-arginine (P < 0.01). Moreover, urinary nitrate and cGMP were increased from 92 ± 10 to 125 ± 15 µmol mmol−1 creatinine (P = 0.01, 95% CI 8, 58) and from 38 ± 3.3 to 50 ± 6.7 nmol mmol−1 creatinine (P = 0.04, 95% CI 0.4, 24), respectively.

Glycerol is a naturally occurring metabolite that has several benefits for athletes. It can prevent athletes and bodybuilders from becoming dehydrated during the course of strenuous aerobic or anaerobic exercise. Glycerol can also enhance exercise performance and endurance for bodybuilders because it can keep the body hyper-hydrated.

It has been demonstrated in human studies that hyperhydration with glycerol combined with water is far superior to water alone, and significantly increased fluid retention by approximately 900 mL over placebo. Of course an endurance athlete can also drink an over exceeding amount of water, however this will only help the athlete reach a temporary state of hyperhydration due to the fall in osmolarity causing the kidneys to remove the excess water and causing the athlete to make frequent trips to the bathroom.

Regular Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) contains only 5-12% free molecular glycerol, which is nowhere near the acceptable or effective range of glycerol supplementation. CONQU3R Unleashed uses, HydroMax™ Glycerol, highly concentrated powdered glycerol which yields 65% free molecular glycerol. This means 1.5 g of CONQU3R Unleashed’s HydroMax™ Glycerol equates to more than 8 g of standard GMS found on the market!

Glycerol’s osmoprotective solute quality can be used to improve physical endurance. The reduction in serum blood osmolality and the effects on ionic gradients caused by glycerol ingestion delay fatigue; therefore, endurance and athletic performance are improved.

In a study assessing the effect of glycerol supplementation on aerobic and anaerobic performance of athletes and sedentary subjects, 40 volunteers were divided into four groups. The first was the placebo group (S), which only consumed water; the second group (GS) consumed glycerol followed by water. Neither of these groups did any exercise for 20 days. The third and fourth groups consisted of the exercise group subjects; they were required to perform a 20-m shuttle run test every day for 20 days. The third group’s subjects, the exercise placebo (E), only consumed water. The last group (GE) consumed glycerol followed by water. The glycerol supplement was found to have an increasing effect on aerobic and anaerobic performance in GS, E and GE. A similar effect was found for the covered distances and time in the same groups.

Nitrosigine™ is a patented complex of bonded arginine silicate scientifically designed to significantly boost nitric oxide (NO) levels. We previously reviewed the positive effect from arginine on NO. Unlike supplementing directly with L-arginine which could get “messy,“ the Nitrosigine™ complex was shown in preclinical (animal) studies to be absorbed efficiently, raising plasma arginine and silicon levels. Silicon can strengthen and provide flexibility to your arterial walls, helping to increase blood flow. Silicon is not well absorbed through dietary intake, but Nitrosigine™ was shown in preclinical studies to dramatically increase silicon absorption.

Another study found that a complex of arginine-silicate in an efficiently absorbed form, improves vascular function and reduces nephropathy in an animal model of insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease whereas arginine-hcl was not effective.

In a study in healthy males, supplementation with Nitrosigine™ caused an acute increase in arginine, as quick as 30 minutes. The study also found a significant increase in arginine blood levels for up to 3 hours and silicon levels for up to 1.5 hours. Furthermore, the data showed an increased trend in baseline levels of arginine after subsequent use. So drink CONQU3R Unleashed 30 minutes before your workout, get a crazy pump for the whole duration and then get a better pump next workout. Sign me up!

Agmatine ((4-aminobutyl)guanidine) is known as the ultimate nitric oxide enhancing ingredient. It is a byproduct of arginine produced through a process called decarboxylation. Agmatine is similar to arginine but with the carboxylic acid end removed. Agmatine’s primary benefit occurs when it interacts with endothelial cells. These cells form a thin layer along blood vessel walls. As agmatine molecules pass through blood vessels, they attach to receptors on endothelial cell membranes. In response, endothelial cells make nitric oxide, a gas that dilates blood vessels.

A study was conducted examining the effects of agmatine on endothelial cell function by using cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Agmatine stimulated nitrite production three-fold above basal nitrite formation by endothelial cells. This result suggests agmatine can act directly on endothelial cells to increase the synthesis of nitric oxide.

Maximum Focus Matrix:
It is still possible to obtain a high level of focus without the use of caffeine. Olympus Labs proved that assertion with the Stim-free version of CONQU3R DemiGod. It was immensely popular for its focus enhancing effect. We included the two main ingredients responsible for that intense focus in CONQU3R Unleashed Stim-free. With 1g of Acetyl L-Carnitine and 250 mg AlphaSize® Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline, you will attain a maximum level of focus.

Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha-GPC) increases levels of acetylcholine in the body, which help give an increased focus during a workout. It is an ideal ingredient to supplement pre-workout on an empty stomach. CONQU3R Unleashed uses the patented version, AlphaSize®, which just so happens to be supported by human data. That is not a coincidence! AlphaSize® has also been found to improve power output.

In a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover design, seven men with at least two years of resistance training experience ingested 600 mg A-GPC (as AlphaSize®) or a placebo 90-minutes prior to completing 6 sets × 10 repetitions of Smith Machine squats at 70% of their predetermined 1-repetition maximum. Measurements were taken 30 minutes post-exercise and then the subjects performed three sets of bench press throws at 50% of their predetermined 1-repetition maximum to assess peak force, peak power, and rate of force development. All trials were performed after an overnight fast, a 48-hour abstention from intense exercise, and during the same time of day to minimize diurnal variation. Compared to baseline (pre) values, peak GH increased 44-fold during A-GPC (from 0.19 ± 0.06 to 8.4 ± 2.1 ng/mL) vs. 2.6-fold during placebo (from 1.9 ± 0.8 to 5.0 ± 4.8 ng/mL, P < 0.03) (Figure 3). Peak bench press force was 14% greater in A-GPC (933 ± 89 N) vs. placebo (818 ± 77 N, P < 0.02).

Research has also shown it should improve your ability to lose fat over time due to an increase in hepatic (liver) fat oxidation. In the same study, a significant increase in growth hormone was measured after 60 minutes of ingestion, indicating an acute response making it beneficial for supplementation pre-workout.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine, otherwise known as ALCAR, is a carnitine molecule bound to an acetyl group. While L-carnitine is known for its fat loss benefits, ALCAR is known for its neurological benefits. It is included in CONQU3R Unleashed for its ability to increase alertness and reduce mental fatigue. It is such a potent brain booster that treatment with carnitine significantly decreased attention problems and aggressive behavior in boys with ADHD.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients with chronic fatigue syndrome were given 2 g per day of ALCAR. After just two weeks, 52% of patients reported a significant reduction in mental fatigue.

In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 30 elderly patients were given 2 g per day of ALCAR for two months. The group that was given ALCAR showed a statistically significant improvement in the behavioral scales, in the memory tests, in the attention barrage test and in the Verbal Fluency test.

Maximum Adaptogen Matrix:
Adaptogens are substances which normalize body functions and increase resistance to stress. Obviously less stress is desirable, but the more impressive aspect is the potential increase to mental performance and working capacity which will undoubtedly contribute to a stellar workout. CONQU3R Unleashed Stim-free features a blend of only the most effective adaptogens; 500 mg of Eleutherococcus senticosus (Root Extract), 200 mg of Rhodiola Rosea Extract, 100 mg of Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract and 100 mg of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE).

Eleutherococcus senticosus, also known as Siberian ginseng, is a potent adaptogen with some impressive benefits for athletes. It can enhance physical performance and endurance during periods of high intensity exercise. Since DemiGods only train at a high intensity it is a perfect addition to CONQU3R Unleashed Stim-free. It can also improve cognitive functions such as attention and mental performance.

Recreationally trained males were given 800 mg per day of Eleutherococcus senticosus (ES) for 8 weeks. The examined physiological variables included endurance time, maximal heart rate during exhaustion exercise, VO2, rating of perceived exertion and respiratory exchange ratio after the subjects cycled at 75% VO2 peak until exhaustion. The VO2 peak of the subjects elevated 12% (P < 0.05), endurance time improved 23% (P < 0.05) and peak heart rate increased 4% (P < 0.05). In addition, at 30 min of 75% VO2 peak cycling, the production of plasma FFA was increased and the glucose level was decreased both significantly (P < 0.05) over 8-week ES supplementation. This study demonstrates long term supplementation of ES can enhance endurance capacity, elevate cardiovascular functions and alter the metabolism for sparing glycogen in active individuals.

Rhodiola Rosea Extract is one of the most effective adaptogen compounds for its significant ability to mitigate the undesirable effects of prolonged exercise, like physical exhaustion and fatigue. The end result is an increase in endurance, and with the combination of the endurance matrix in CONQU3R Unleashed Stim-free you will feel like you can stay in the gym all day. Rhodiola Rosea has also been shown to possess antioxidant properties which will moderate undue stress to your body from an intense workout.

In a study with 24 healthy volunteers, 12 male and 12 female, were given a dose of 100 mg Rhodiola Rosea. After just 4 days of supplementation a significant increase in time to exhaustion, VO2, VCO2, peak O2 output, and peak CO2 output was observed.

Another study, with 22 professional rowers, that were given 100 mg of Rhodiola Rosea twice daily for a 4 week period found a significant increase in total plasma antioxidant capacity and a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. SOD is an enzyme produced as a result of oxygen metabolism (ie. intensive activity) and can lead to cell damage if not mitigated. These results suggest that continuous supplementation of Rhodiola Rosea can improve endurance.

The adaptogenic properties of Schisandra Chinensis were first exposed through a large number of pharmacological and clinical studies carried out by Russian scientists. The results were impressive enough for them to include Schisandra Chinensis in editions of the National Pharmacopoeia of the USSR and in the State Register of Drugs. Schisandra is particularly adept as stress reducer, but also has several other benefits. In healthy subjects, Schisandra increases endurance and accuracy of movement, mental performance and working capacity, and generates alterations in the basal levels of nitric oxide and cortisol in blood and saliva with subsequent effects on the blood cells, vessels and central nervous system.

Several groups of athletes in a placebo-controlled, double-blind study were given Schisandra Chinensis prior to heavy physical exercise. After treatment with the adaptogen, heavy physical exercise did not increase salivary nitric oxide (NO) and cortisol in athletes, whereas athletes treated with placebo increased salivary NO.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, forty healthy females aged between 20-68 years were given a standardized fixed combination of Rhodiola Rosea L., Schisandra Chinensis and Eleutherococcus senticosus extracts. The effects of the extract were measured prior to treatment and two hours after treatment using the d2 Test of Attention. The subjects in the control group quickly (two hours after supplementation) gained improved attention and increased speed and accuracy during stressful cognitive tasks, in comparison to placebo. CONQU3R Unleashed Stim-free just so happens to includes all three adaptogens.

The inclusion of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is primarily for its ability to increase levels of acetylcholine resulting in an increase in attention and focus. However, DMAE is known to have much better transportation to the brain than choline and can result in a higher level of cholinergic activity.

In a randomized, group-parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 40 males and 40 females ingested a vitamin-mineral drug combination containing dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) or placebo. Measurements of their brain's electrical reaction were taken during presentation of 5 videoclips of 7 min duration followed by 3 minutes pause. This procedure was repeated after 6 and 12 weeks of daily supplementation with DMAE. The EEG analysis showed decreases in theta and alpha1 electrical power which have been associated with increased vigilance and attention. A subsequent questionnaire given to the subjects revealed a better mood for the active drug group thus corroborating the results from EEG analysis. The study concluded DMAE can be interpreted to induce a psychophysiological state of better feeling of wellbeing on both levels of analysis mood and electrical pattern of brain activity.

They wanted it out because amento is not absorbed that well in the body, similar to standard -epicatechin. However, as I am sure you are aware we overcame that issue with -epi with the Phytofuse technology (ie. EP1C Unleashed), soooo who knows what will happen...

This product is sick! Seems to make every other Pwo redundant! When will we See it at uk retailers?
The word on Mount Olympus is that the chariot full of gains has been dispatched to Powermyself!

Should arrive in a week or two:)

out of curiosity, why only 250 mg. Alpha-GPC when the study used 600 mg., and many people find 900 mg. to be more effective?

Thanks, Crowbar

What made you guys want to remove amentoflavone
Honestly, amento as it is (in our sup and others) is limited in its ergogenic ability.

As the boss said, we will be releasing a killer amento product in the near future that will include good old OL innovation, so hang tight!

It simply would not be cost effective to mega dose Alpha-GPC and considering there is positive anecdotal feedback at 250 mg we chose that dose.

There is also another 1-2 OL products that include Alpha-GPC so we wanted to keep the stacking option open. They shall remain nameless for the time being ;)

Anyone else try the stim-free version yet? Stuff tastes god awful, might have to be the worst tasting pre workout I've ever tried. Anyone else say the same thing? I'm going to mix stevia with Vital1ty to see if that helps. Stuff works however, great energy and focus.

Well I appreciate his honesty. I bought two tubs of megatron for my wife and myself and she still complains everyday how bad it tastes. I would like to avoid that in the future.

I'm sorry to hear that bro. The adaptogen blend is a bit tougher to mask than the stimulant blend in the other version.

From our internal testing we thought it was palatable but everyone has different taste buds. I'm glad you find it effective which IMO is more important. Hopefully, Krushed Kandy Stim Free will taste better for you.

We definitely want honest feedback, and I appreciate you sharing. Did you like the old DGE flavoring, or are you new to Conqu3r? Just curious because I was NOT a fan of the old DGE flavoring at first...and I was pretty vocal about it on the forum. After a while I grew to love it and the performance well outweighed the fact that it didn't taste like candy.

Like the old Conqu3r DGE, it is sometimes hard to balance the use of certain ingredients at clinical doses (which often taste BAD, despite being killer ergogenics), and producing a pleasant tasting pre.

We often run into a situation where we have to:

a. Leave out killer ingredients in favor of having the supp taste like a dreamsicle

or

b. Leave in ingredients that WILL actually have an impact on our customers' performance and do a good job at creating a darn decent (all be it not desert worthy) taste profile.

And, you know how Olympus labs rolls....Performance + Quality above all : )

Personally I'm not a fan of "strawberry" or "kiwi" favors in general, but I do think we did better this time round in the flavoring department. The mango and Krushed Kandy flavors have a LOT of good reviews on taste. I haven't seen much feedback on the kiwi/straw flavor yet.

There's no way to mask completely the taste of some herbal extracts and aminoacids.
Some will find the flavoring strong enough to cover the bad taste, others will always find it bad. I'd rather drink in 5 seconds something that tastes "meh" but actually delivers the effects I'm looking for.

Im a huge fan and supporter of OL. The old stim free version of Conquer in both mango and rawberry lemonade tasted very good. This stuff just lacks any flavor at all. I almost thought it needed to be shaken more but that didn't solve it. Ingredients and the effects are there, just not the flavor. Apologize for my candor but others need to be open and honest about this.

No need to apologize. We welcome honest feedback, and appreciate your support.

I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like you feel it is too bland for your liking (i.e. "lacks any flavor"). Have you tried condensing it down to, say, 4-6oz of water vs 8-12+? Might help improve it a bit for your taste buds. Just a thought man.

P.S. I loved the tangy flavor of Rawberry Lemonade as well. I used to shotgun that stuff straight into my mouth haha

Yes next time I take the conque3r will do less water for sure. This stuff did give me great results in the gym, all of a sudden near the end of my workout my body didn't want to drop the weights, awesome feeling. OL products always work, no question on that.

When I don't like the taste of some powdered products, I mix them with sugar free Peach Iced Tea. Works even with bile :p

So the stim free version is 100% stim free and not just void of caffeine?

I noticed I didn't see J.Regia or Higenamine?

I was looking forward to seeing how these two worked without the addition of caffeine.

Completely stimulant free. I actually enjoy Conqu3r Unleashed at 1 scoop for a low stim option.
