Recommended serving size is 3 to 5 capsules. You may start out with 3 or 4 if you want to gauge how your body responds to it.
MatFuel is very different from traditional pre-workouts because it does not have a ton of chemicals that wire you up, keep you from sleeping at night, and make you feel bad later.
Take MatFuel 30 minutes before training with or without food.
Yes, it contains caffeine from Guarana Extract, which tends to feel more mild than that of coffee or caffeine anhydrous. If you take the full 5 capsules, it contains 88mg of caffeine – less than a cup of coffee. Each capsule will contain about 18mg of caffeine, so 3 would be similar to a cup of tea. Most have no trouble sleeping after taking it before a night class. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, you may want to start with 3 to see how your body responds.
Yes, MatFuel is made with vegan capsules!
The capsules can be dumped out and put into a drink of your choice if you do not want to swallow them as normal. It will still work just as well.

TMG is another amino acid that is very unique because it helps with a process called methylation. When your body does not properly methylate, you feel it! Symptoms are things like chronic fatigue, low energy, brain fog, memory issues, and so much more. Introducing TMG can make a huge difference right away!
The first time I took it, I went for a 7 mile run. I would normally take about 11 minutes per mile to do the run... not too impressive. But that day I shattered all of my best times per mile AND for ran the entire run 14 minutes faster than my previous best. The effects did not remain as extreme after a few weeks, but it's definitely a difference-maker. You'll notice it in your Jiu Jitsu game too!
Caution: Many pre-workouts contain far too much TMG! This causes over-methylation, which can be worse than under-methylating. This is a big reason many feel "cracked-out" and even angry after taking pre-workouts, and then not being able to sleep late into the night. MatFuel contains just the right amount for most people, so that you feel energized and maintain a great mood.
Rhodiola is an adaptogen proven through many experiments to significantly lower the rate of perceived exertion that athletes have during an endurance workout. That means they like they weren't trying as hard to do the same thing they would do without Rhodiola, even though they had the same energy expenditure.
This will become important when you're dealing with the fast, athletic or SPAZZY guys that you can't hold down! Besides reducing perceived fatigue, it's also known for improving cognition and reducing markers of physiological and psychological stress. As an adaptogen, it helps you ADAPT to your environment, feeling more comfortable, even in uncomfortable situations!
Tongkat Ali brings several benefits to BJJ athletes, particularly through its role as an adaptogen that helps manage the physical and mental demands of training. Known for enhancing physical performance and stamina, Tongkat Ali supports energy levels and endurance, which can be crucial during rigorous sessions on the mats. Its potential to promote muscle strength and lean muscle growth further aids when training or competing with REAL resistance. By helping to modulate cortisol levels, it contributes to a balanced recovery process, promoting better sleep quality and reducing the risk of overtraining—an essential aspect for maintaining consistent progress and peak performance.
Tongkat Ali's adaptogenic properties can also improve mood and cognitive function, which are critical for focus and mental clarity during sparring and technical drills. This can aid athletes in executing techniques more effectively and making sharp decisions under pressure. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects help mitigate muscle soreness and inflammation, aiding in quicker recovery and reduced injury risk. Tongkat Ali plays an important role in helping you get the most from your time on the mats.
Guarana Extract is included in MatFuel because it contains one of the most studied and helpful performance aids known to man... CAFFIENE! Derived from a Brazilian plant, Guarana provides a more sustained and gradual release of energy compared to standard caffeine sources. This steady energy delivery helps to maintain focus and alertness throughout intense training sessions, reducing the chances of energy crashes and fatigue.
MatFuel contains only about 18mg of Guarana caffeine per capsule. So the taking a full serving of 5 capsules will only contain 88mg of caffeine, less than a cup of coffee. Taking 3 capsules is common, and would contain about as much as drinking a cup of tea. The gradual release of energy through Guarana means your heart rate isn't raised too high by it, which can cause overheating and gassing out early. That's why I prefer MatFuel over coffee before training any day.
By enhancing mental clarity and sharpening reflexes, Guarana supports quick decision-making and improved reaction times—key elements in BJJ where split-second moves can determine the outcome of a roll or competition.
Beta Alanine is a powerful amino acid known for enhancing muscle endurance and performance by increasing the concentration of carnosine in muscle tissue. This boost in carnosine helps buffer hydrogen ions that accumulate during intense exercise, which in turn delays the onset of muscle fatigue and increases time to exhaustion (TTE). With higher TTE, athletes can train longer and harder, maintaining peak performance throughout high-intensity workouts. By reducing the build-up of lactic acid, beta-alanine also supports quicker recovery, allowing for more effective training sessions and better overall gains in strength and endurance.
It can cause a sensation called paraesthesia, often described as “tingling of the skin.” It’s usually experienced in the face, neck and the back of the hands within 15 minutes of taking it. While it might feel unusual, paresthesia is entirely harmless and temporary, often lasting for about 30 minutes. For many, this tingling is seen as a sign that the beta-alanine is being absorbed and taking effect, making it a useful indicator of its action within the body.
Taurine is a versatile compound that offers a unique combination of calming the nervous system while keeping the mind sharp and alert. This dual action helps you stay focused and make clearer decisions during intense training or rolling sessions.
Some MatFuel users have noticed that, thanks to Taurine, they’re calmer than ever, which allows them to be more aware of their movements and better spot opportunities or new techniques in real time, rather than being constantly corrected by their coach. It’s this heightened sense of focus and mental clarity that could make all the difference on the mats. So, if you’re looking to tame that inner "spazz" and roll with more intention and awareness, Taurine might just be the key ingredient you need.
