ASSAULT was named Pre-Workout Product of the Year 2012 by BodyBuilding.com, the Internet's most-visited bodybuilding and fitness site and the largest online retailer of nutritional supplements.  The new improved version of ASSAULT includes a number of new active ingredients providing fitness enthusiasts with the most advanced, safest and effective pre-workout product on the market.

ASSAULT is the first sports nutritional supplements to feature ChromaDex's PurEnergy™, a patented co-crystal ingredient comprised of caffeine and pTeroPure® pterostilbene offering a safer way to get energized.  PurEnergy delivers sustained energy that lasts eight times longer than normal caffeine and doesn't result in the usual caffeine "crash."  PurEnergy also provides health benefits in the areas of cognitive function, antioxidant activity, heart health and weight management. 

The new formula also contains ingredients that increase strength, endurance, muscle mass and energy levels amping up training capacity for longer and harder workouts.  These ingredients include patented CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine, ION-3 Nitrate Technology nutrients and PurEnergy.

"MusclePharm strives to stay ahead of the industry by continuously researching and developing the most safe and optimal formulations for current and future products to help our customers achieve the most from their fitness regimens," said Brad Pyatt, founder and CEO, MusclePharm.
