USPLabs YOK3D - It's the ultimate sign of respect...

While terms like huge, diesel & ripped are thrown around on a daily basis, Yoked is reserved for the elite. Only the baddest bad ass in the place can legitimately be called Yoked.

Slapped Upside Your Head

Call someone Yoked who doesn't deserve it and expect to get slapped silly. When you're Yoked, you just look different. Muscles are thick and dense - like slabs of beef. Cuts run deep and look like they've been etched by a jackhammer, while veins resemble a Rand McNally map...

When You're Truly Yoked, You're The Total Package. And, quite frankly dudes want to be you & chicks want to be with you ...

They Just Kept Saying "I Feel Yoked!"

Every now and then a product comes across my desk that I immediately KNOW is different. And not just a little different, but REALLY different-causing our testers to go crazy, and as soon as our guys were saying things like "Man, the pump from these tiny pills is off the charts.* My muscles are full, pumped and hard as a rock.* I feel different . I feel Yoked!" I knew we were on to something.

The Little-Known "Reverse" Nitric Oxide Pathway

Up until this point, most Nitric Oxide (N.O.) products have relied on the Classic, Old-School Nitric Oxide Pathway, otherwise known as the "L-Arginine-N.O.-Synthase pathway"...

This is the pathway utilized by compounds such as L-Arginine and is a decent method to elevate N.O. and give you better gains in the gym and greater pumps...*

Sure, it's nothing ground-breaking, but it's very popular with lifters the world over and has proven to be a popular pathway among users...

Nitrate-Nitrite What?

Now, on to the really exciting stuff. What if I told you there was another N.O. pathway? And what if I told you this little-referenced pathway blows away the classical N.O. pathway in its ability to enhance N.O. within the body, especially for weight training?

Would you be excited?

Of course you would. Well, it does exist and we call this little-known pathway the "REVERSE" Nitric Oxide pathway, scientifically known as the Nitrate-Nitrite-Nitric Oxide Pathway.

If You Weight Train-The "Reverse" Nitric Oxide Pathway Is Like Striking Oil In Your Backyard While Planting A Tree. It can generate nitric oxide via several routes that are enzymatic and non-enzymatic, making this pathway, in some respects, a more reliable and better overall way to increase N.O. (1-4).*

Furthermore, this pathway becomes much more important and is favored over the classical pathway in conditions where oxygen levels are much lower and to some extent acidification occurs in a given tissue (i.e. weight training), allowing for vasodilation to occur and oxygen to be transported in these conditions.*
We can utilize both pathways to obtain very high N.O. levels to achieve an optimal level of vasodilation.*

What Are Nitrates…And Why Do You NEED Them?

Nitrates are potent dietary compounds that have been shown to, among other things, elicit an enormous increase in Nitric Oxide within the body through a unique “reverse” pathway.
In this pathway, nitrate actually gets converted into REAL Nitric Oxide available to your body for a myriad of exciting purposes. This available Nitric Oxide can increase vasodilation and, in turn, may improve exercise efficiency by reducing the amount of oxygen, ATP and phosphocreatine needed during exercise so you're more resistant to fatigue. If you're more resistant to fatigue, you can exercise longer and get more reps out, allowing you to gain more muscle and strength over time.

Also, the increased vasodilation may increase the transport of amino acids and glucose into skeletal muscle, enhancing recovery and muscle growth.
Not to mention the incredible pumps and overall body hardening users are raving about…

The graph above demonstrates two Nitric Oxide Pathways; The classic L-Arginine & the amazing "Reverse" Nitrate-Nitrite-N.O. Pathway

Why Arginine-Nitrate?

• Nitrates need to be bonded for absorption into the blood stream.
• Arginine was chosen because it makes the most sense for one huge…and…major distinction over any other nitrate product:

By analyzing current research, attaching Arginine (as is done in Yok3d) may prevent Nitrate tolerance -   which means more nitrates in the circulation for longer periods of time. More nitrates in the blood equals more results!

Not Just A Pretty Pump

This increased N.O. and vasodilation may at least be partially responsible for a potential improvement of exercise efficiency by reducing the amount of oxygen and energy needed in the form of ATP and phosphocreatine during exercise and muscle contraction...*

In short, it may allow you to be more resistant to fatigue and squeeze out a little more during your workouts, whether that's just a few more reps when weightlifting or allowing you to stay in the game a little longer.*

It's also worth noting that this notion of nitrate increasing vasodilation and improving exercise performance isn't just hypothetical. Several studies have surfaced recently which have demonstrated that nitrate can and does accomplish just that (5-12).

So, with this data in hand, we set out to develop Yok3d utilizing both of the above pathways along with other compounds that round out this incredible breakthrough...

Performance Pump

With USPlabs Yok3d, long gone are the days of a hollow, bloated, shallow pump that doesn't do didly squat for your true physique...

Not only can improved performance be achieved, but by causing the levels of vasodilation that it's capable of, one may also increase amino acid and glucose transport into skeletal muscle, potentially enhancing muscle growth and recovery (33-36).*

It should go without saying that this can also lead to much greater pumps and the feeling of fuller muscles...*

And it's a much different type of pump-muscles are dense & hard, not puffy & bloated.*

Huge Horse Pills No More

Let's face it, no one likes taking huge, chalky pills that can make you gag...That's for chumps...

That's why we've made Yok3d so efficient that the pills are tiny in comparison to traditional "pump pills"...

8, 10, 12 Pills or More Everyday?

Yeah, no thanks homie...

Yok3d is so efficient it's taken on workout days ONLY!
Pop a few pills about 90-120 minutes before your workout (more on why this timing is critical to "unlocking" Yok3d's efficiency) and you're good to go...

On the left is a single dose of Yok3d, taken on workout days only...on the right is a daily dose of a popular "pump" product...which would you rather take?

Crazy Value

You shouldn't have to take out a mortgage to get a pump. Its borderline obnoxious how much some of these pump pills cost. Just like USPlabs is known for, we've built in crazy value to Yok3d so each bottle lasts at least a month with many users getting an additional week or two more out of it!

You're About To Get Bombarded With Nitrates

Mark my words, nitrate-based products are going to be the "next big thing" shoved down your throat. They will be in everything ...pre-workouts, intra-workouts, post-workouts, pre-bed, heck even proteins...

Companies will haphazardly combine nitrates in the same product and in recommended stacks but the fact of the matter is, this is flat-out completely irrational and uneducated application - timing & dose is crucial you can't just throw nitrates in everything and hope for the best as too much nitrate can actually have negative side effects along with not being as effective!

It's ALL About The Correct Dose For YOU...

In addition to timing of nitrates being a critical factor, individual dose is also vital to maximizing any nitrate-based product...

This is why we recommend that you start with 3 capsules (2 for those under 140 pounds) of Yok3d on workout days only and go from there. We provide a dosing chart on each label for a guide, but it's just a guide, you have to find what works best for you. Take too much or too often and you won't like the results. Gone are the days of having to take a Nitric Oxide enhancing pill multiple times per day or even every day for that matter...

Don't Waste Your Nitrates

Don't cheat yourself and waste your money by following incorrect dosing guidelines. Instead of making random guess as to when you should consume a serving of Yok3d, we have used published kinetic data on nitrates to determine our dosing for Yok3d.

You see, if you consume a serving of nitrates and then begin working out only 15-45 minutes later, you're wasting a great deal of the product's efficacy. Studies have surmised that nitrate levels begin to increase as early as 10 minutes after ingestion and they generally peak anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours and in some cases, the peak may take even longer to occur (37-41).*

Yet, it would be a MAJOR mistake to time the dose based upon nitrate concentrations alone because the activity (i.e., increased Nitric Oxide) that we're after is actually directly derived from nitrite, the reduced product of nitrate. In effect, you want nitrite levels to be highest when you're working out as nitrite is first in line for conversion to N.O.

Looking at the studies which have evaluated nitrite levels after nitrate administration, we find that N.O. doesn't begin to increase substantially over that of baseline values until 1-2 hours post administration where levels reach a peak between 2-3 hours after administration...

...Simply put...

You've Got To Allow Your Body Time To "Unlock" This Incredible, Highly Complex Metabolic Cascade So It Can Work To Your Advantage...

It is no coincidence that indicators of vasodilation and certain performance markers aren't significantly affected until at least 60-90 minutes post administration and don't reach a peak until the 2 hour or greater mark (37, 42).

BOTTOM LINE: Don't take nitrates at the same time as your pre-workout, take them before...

Maximizing USPlabs Yok3d™ Incredible Performance, Incredible Pump

Yok3d has quickly established itself as a “must-use” for just about anyone who works out. Performance, Endurance, Vascularity & Pumps are just a few of the terms we hear on a daily basis… The response has been overwhelming, but we want to make sure you are going to get the most out of Yok3d…
Because the technology behind Yok3d is so innovative, some questions do remain about dosing & timing. The goal of this website is to simply help you find the correct dose for YOU.

• Yok3d contains a revolutionary form of Arginine, Arginine Nitrate. If you have never used nitrates before, start with 3 caps.
• 3 caps may be the perfect dose for you, or you may need to increase by a capsule or two. If 3 happens to be the correct dose and you begin with 4, you’ll never know 3 was enough and you will not get maximum value…and we always want you to get maximum value! So start with 3, and increase as you see fit.
• Most individuals over 180 pounds will need 4-5 capsules. Increase dose by one capsule each workout until you find that sweet spot.
• Nitrates are similar to stimulants in this regard. You need to find the dose that is correct for you and the only way to do it is experiment. Some will get it right the first try, others it will take a few workouts.
• It should be noted you do not want to go high on your dosage of Yok3d either. Keep in mind, Yok3d is very powerful and taking too much can lead to headaches, not to mention wasted product!
• With Yok3d, you will not experience a rush of energy like you would with a pre-workout product like Jack3d. Yok3d was designed to be a stimulant-free, creatine-free pre-workout product.
• You can stack Yok3d with a stimulant-based pre-workout like Jack3d.
• Yok3d can be used in your mandatory off-time between Jack3d cycles to maintain incredible pumps and performance.
• It should be noted that Yok3d is considered a vaso-expander (meaning opens up the blood vessles to promote blood flow and “pumps”) and stimulants are considered vaso-constrictors, which are the polar opposites.
• In other words, if you are taking a boatload of stimulants, you may have a hard time getting a pump no matter what you do.
• Low/No carb diets also significantly reduce pumps due to lack of available muscle glycogen.
• Take Yok3d 90-120 minutes before a workout, with or without food. Don’t overthink this. Just take and enjoy!
