LA Muscle offers a range of powder supplements that are not only convenient for those who prefer not to take capsules or pills but also allow for a higher intake of active ingredients. This article delves into three of LA Muscle's potent powder supplements: Norateen Superman Powder, Fat Stripper Black Powder, and Possessed II, examining their key components and the science behind their effectiveness.
1. Norateen Superman Powder

Key Ingredients:
- Creatine (5000mg): Creatine is a well-researched supplement known for its ability to increase muscle mass, strength, and exercise performance. Studies have shown that creatine supplementation can enhance muscle creatine and phosphocreatine concentrations, leading to improved performance in high-intensity exercise [1].
- Beta-Alanine (500mg): Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that aids in the production of carnosine, a compound that helps buffer acid in muscles, increasing physical performance in short-duration, high-intensity exercises [2].
- D-Aspartic Acid (500mg): D-Aspartic Acid is believed to be involved in the regulation of testosterone synthesis, potentially enhancing muscle mass and strength [3].
- L-Arginine (500mg): L-Arginine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor for nitric oxide, which can improve blood flow and exercise performance [4].
- Guarana (100mg) & Vitamin B6 (10mg): Guarana, a natural source of caffeine, and Vitamin B6 both contribute to energy metabolism and can help reduce tiredness and fatigue [5].
2. Fat Stripper Black Powder
New formula with 250mg of Beta Alanine!
Unrivalled Pharma Grade (not just food grade) super-fat-burner Black Powder. Mix, drink the delicious powder and see the fat melt away. Exclusive LA Muscle formula. There is nothing else like it.
- Proven fat burning ingredients in a powder mix
- Exclusively manufactured only by LA Muscle
- Rapid guaranteed weight loss for men and women
- Delicious Tropical Berry Powder
Key Ingredients:
- L-Carnitine (500mg): L-Carnitine plays a crucial role in the transportation of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy, aiding in fat loss [6].
- Caffeine (375mg): Caffeine is known for its ability to increase metabolism and fat oxidation [7].
- Berry Extracts & Green Tea Extract: Acai and Goji Berry extracts, along with Green Tea Extract, are rich in antioxidants and have been associated with weight loss and improved metabolic rate [8].
- Beta-Alanine, L-Leucine, Taurine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine: These amino acids are essential for muscle recovery and growth, and they also play a role in energy production during exercise [9].
3. Possessed II
NEW EVEN STRONGER FORMULA!
Possessed II is the world's STRONGEST pre-workout and contains 9 incredibly effective ingredients that will significantly increase your strength and endurance in the gym. The INSTANT boost in power and mental clarity will allow you to push harder and perform at a much better level.

- Significant increase in endurance and training intensity
- Amazing muscle pumps & boosted Nitric Oxide levels
- The strongest & safest pre-workout on the market
- Tropical Berry Flavour
Key Ingredients:
- Citrulline Malate (2g) & L-Leucine (2g): Citrulline Malate can improve nitric oxide production and blood flow, enhancing exercise performance, while L-Leucine is crucial for muscle protein synthesis [10].
- AKG (2g) & Beta-Alanine (1.5g): AKG is involved in the Krebs cycle, a key energy-producing process, and Beta-Alanine helps in buffering muscle acidity [11].
- D-Aspartic Acid, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, Taurine: Similar to Norateen, these ingredients aid in muscle growth, recovery, and energy production.
- Caffeine (200mg) & Vitamin B2 (35mg): Caffeine boosts energy levels and focus, while Vitamin B2 is essential for energy metabolism [12].
