The Science Behind Make Ready Nutrition

Evidence-based. Shooter-specific. No filler.

We don't guess. We dose to the studies.

Science-Backed Formulas for Shooters & Hunters

→Electrolyte profile matches sweat loss ratios – Na⁺ 500 mg, K⁺ 200 mg, Mg²⁺ 80 mg per serving – to keep plasma volume and firing-hand steadiness stable in heat.
→Isotonic carbohydrate blend (dextrose + cluster dextrin) delivers 20 g of fast + sustained glucose to maintain plasma osmolality and cognitive performance over long stages.
→Evidence: mild dehydration (1–2% body mass loss) impairs vigilance, reaction time, and shooting accuracy by 10–20% (Armstrong et al., 2012; Wittels et al., 2015 – NIH/DoD studies). One serving is built to prevent that drop.

→250 mg caffeine (from green tea + natural coffee extract) – the dose shown to increase marksmanship scores under fatigue (Tikuisis et al., 2004; Human Factors).
→L-theanine 200 mg in a 1:1 ratio with caffeine to increase alpha-wave activity and smooth out over-stimulation (Owen et al., 2008).
→B-vitamin complex (100–300% DV) to support catecholamine synthesis and ATP turnover when you're running on low sleep.
→Result: 12–18% improvement in sustained attention and shot grouping in sleep-deprived shooters (McLellan et al., 2016).

→Taurine 2,000 mg to increase GABA and glycine activity, helping reduce mental fatigue and tremor in precision tasks (Zhang et al., 2004; Alford et al., 2009).
→Rhodiola rosea (3% rosavins) + Ashwagandha KSM-66 – adaptogens clinically proven to lower cortisol and preserve fine-motor steadiness under stress (Darbinyan et al., 2000; Chandrasekhar et al., 2012).
→Zero caffeine, zero crash – ideal for long glassing sessions, night work, or caffeine-sensitive shooters who still need neural drive.

→34 g whey protein isolate delivering ~3.2 g leucine – the amount shown to maximally trigger muscle protein synthesis (ISSN position stand, 2017).
→10 g hydrolyzed collagen peptides to increase type I & III collagen synthesis in tendons/ligaments and reduce joint pain in load-bearing athletes (Shaw et al., 2017; Clark et al., 2008).
→Velositol® 2 g – a patented amylopectin–chromium complex that can double the MPS response to the same 34 g protein dose (Ziegenfuss et al., 2018).
→Tart cherry extract 480 mg to lower inflammatory markers and delayed-onset muscle soreness after heavy work (Howatson et al., 2010).

We don't guess. We dose to the studies. That's how you build supplements that actually move the needle for shooters and hunters.
