Zynamite® – what is it and why is it used in dietary supplements?

Zynamite® is a patented extract from mango leaves (Mangifera indica) used in dietary supplements to support energy, focus, and cognitive performance. It is developed by Nektium Pharma and standardized for a high content of mangiferin – the active bioactive compound in mango leaves.

But what makes mangiferin so interesting from a performance perspective? And why does Skytrition choose to use Zynamite® in NeuroUP, AmpitUP, and MessitUP?

Here we go through everything you need to know.

What is Zynamite®?

Zynamite® is a patented and standardized extract from mango leaves, developed by Nektium Pharma in Spain. It is standardized for at least 60% mangiferin – a xanthone derivative compound with documented bioactive properties.

Mangiferin occurs naturally in mango leaves and has been studied for its effects on:

• Energy metabolism – influences mitochondrial function and ATP production
• Cognitive function – supports focus, attention, and mental clarity
• Physical performance – documented effects on muscle power and endurance
• Antioxidant properties – protects cells against oxidative stress

How does Zynamite® work?

Zynamite® acts via several mechanisms:

• Mitochondrial activation – mangiferin stimulates mitochondrial energy production, which increases the availability of ATP (the body's energy currency)
• Monoamine oxidase inhibition (MAO inhibition) – mangiferin inhibits the breakdown of dopamine and norepinephrine, which can prolong the feeling of energy and focus
• Antioxidant protection – reduces oxidative stress that can negatively affect cognitive and physical performance

Zynamite® and caffeine – a synergistic combination

One of the most interesting properties of Zynamite® is its documented synergy with caffeine. Clinical studies show that the combination of Zynamite® and caffeine provides greater effects on cognitive performance and reaction time than caffeine alone.

This makes Zynamite® a natural partner in pre-workout and nootropic formulas where caffeine is already included.

Zynamite® compared to other energy ingredients

• vs. Caffeine alone – Zynamite® complements caffeine with additional mechanisms and extends the effect
• vs. Guarana – Zynamite® is caffeine-free and acts via pathways other than caffeine
• vs. Synthetic stimulants – Zynamite® is a natural plant extract with a documented safety profile

When is it best to take Zynamite®?

• Before exercise – for increased energy, focus, and physical performance
• Before cognitive tasks – for improved mental clarity and reaction time
• As a caffeine synergist – in combination with caffeine for enhanced effect

In which Skytrition products is Zynamite® found?

Zynamite® is used in three of Skytrition's products:

• NeuroUP – Skytrition's nootropic formula for cognitive performance and mental clarity
• AmpitUP – a pre-workout formula with Zynamite® for energy and focus
• MessitUP – including Zynamite® for increased performance and energy

What should you consider when choosing products with Zynamite®?

1. The dose of Zynamite®

The clinically studied dose is usually 140–300 mg per dose. Check that the product contains an effective amount.

2. Combination with caffeine

Zynamite® works particularly well in combination with caffeine. If you are sensitive to caffeine, check the total caffeine amount in the product.

3. Timing of intake

Since Zynamite® affects energy and focus, intake is recommended in the morning or before exercise – avoid it late in the evening if you are sensitive to stimulants.
