Performax Labs has revamped its AlphaMax muscle-building formula with a 600mg serving of KSM-66 Ashwagandha, alongside a selection of botanical extracts. The updated supplement comes in a four-capsule serving and uses branded ingredients and standardized extracts aimed at supporting free and total testosterone, recovery and estrogen management.
The formula contains 1,200mg of DivaniMax stinging nettle, while the previous 300mg of mucuna pruriens has been removed. Performax has also switched to 300mg of EuryGold longjack, standardized to 10% glycosaponins and 5% eurypeptides, and added 250mg of PrimaVie purified shilajit. The updated blend includes 60mg of Brassisterone, an extract of Brassaiopsis glomerulata, as well as 10mg of BioPerine for bioavailability.
Rather than simply adding more ingredients, the revised AlphaMax formula focuses on a more targeted combination of extracts and standardized compounds. The 2026 edition is scheduled to launch on Thursday, just over a week from now.
