Why 3 phases?
The physical and cognitive demands of your body change significantly over the course of an 18-hole round. If you care about performance, you need to fuel specifically for each stage.
Activation
Pre-Game
Warm up — Hole 5
Sustain
Mid-Game
Hole 6 — Hole 12
Close
End-Game
Hole 13 — Hole 18
Every ingredient earns its place.
No proprietary blends. No hidden quantities. Every compound in APN FUEL is listed, dosed, and chosen for a specific physiological reason.
Formula
View the Full Ingredient List
30 MIN PRE-GAME — HOLES 1 TO 5
Prime Your Engine
The Pre-Game formula activates nitric oxide pathways, primes energy metabolism, and establishes the hydration and nervous system baseline that sustains you across all 18 holes. Take it 30 minutes before your first tee shot.
L-Citrulline Malate
Nitric oxide & blood flow priming
Raises arginine levels in the body, driving nitric oxide production. This dilates blood vessels, enhances circulation, boosts energy delivery to working muscles, and counteracts early-round fatigue. Citrulline offers superior bioavailability compared to direct arginine supplementation.
Vitamin C
Energy metabolism & fatigue reduction
Plays a key role in normal energy metabolism. Helps reduce feelings of tiredness and exhaustion from the very first hole, keeping you sharp through the opening stretch of the round.
Folic Acid (B9)
Mental function & fatigue resistance
Supports healthy mental function and works against fatigue. Essential for the energy metabolism processes that sustain focus and cognitive performance from tee to green.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
Nerve function & cognitive performance
Essential for nerve function and regeneration. Plays a central role in energy metabolism, supports cognitive performance, and helps prevent premature exhaustion over the course of 18 holes.
Glycine
Blood sugar, creatine & nervous system support
Regulates metabolism including blood sugar and fat metabolism. Involved in creatine metabolism, making it relevant for sustained energy supply. Calms the nervous system and has anti-inflammatory, recovery-promoting properties.
Taurine
Fluid balance, heart function & focus
Regulates fluid balance and supports heart rhythm. Promotes GABA neurotransmitter function for a calming effect on the nervous system. Improves attention and concentration — essential for consistent decision-making across 18 holes.
L-Glutamine
Energy source, pH balance & muscle function
Acts as a direct energy source and influences pH regulation, which affects onset of fatigue. Converted to GABA in the brain for nervous system support. Supports muscle metabolism, glycogen synthesis, and protein synthesis for sustained performance.
