APOLLON NUTRITION LIONHEART V2: THE ENDURANCE PRE JUST LEVELED UP

Apollon Nutrition doesn’t do “small updates.” They do violent reformulations — and Lionheart V2 is exactly that. The “fighter-focused” pre that built its reputation on long-lasting energy and brutal endurance just got a full-scale rebuild, and it’s everything the endurance world has been begging for.

The headline?
1,000mg of the new trademarked GPCgold™ Alpha GPC — right as Apollon becomes the first brand to bring this ingredient to market. And instead of sprinkling it in as a novelty, they anchor the entire formula with it.

The first flavor is a collab with Apollon athlete Yari Kaganovsky:
Pineapple • Passion Fruit • Raspberry — tropical punch with an edge.

But let’s get into the formula, because holy hell—this thing is loaded.

FULL FORMULA BREAKDOWN (1 Scoop / 18g)

Beta-Alanine – 3,200mg

Your classic endurance backbone. Saturates carnosine levels, delays fatigue, and keeps power output high during long efforts. Mandatory for any pre built for fighters or endurance athletes.

L-Tyrosine – 3,000mg

A massive dose for focus under stress. Helps with cognitive resilience when heart rate spikes, breathing is heavy, and your brain is screaming for oxygen. Perfect for conditioning, sparring, and any sport requiring high mental output late into the session.

Taurine – 3,000mg

Hydration, endurance, and cellular fluid balance. Taurine has strong data for improving time-to-exhaustion — a must when the entire product is built around not dying on round 5.

Betaine Anhydrous – 2,500mg

Strength, power, and repeated-effort performance. Helps keep output steady over long bouts and pairs extremely well with the nitrate below.

Betaine Nitrate (as NO3-T®) – 2,000mg

Nitrates = real, clinical nitric oxide.
This isn’t a “pump pre.” This is oxygen efficiency, improved blood flow, and better endurance under fatigue. Nitrates shine in conditioning, not curls.

Alpha GPC (as GPCgold™) – 1,000mg

The star of the formula.

Apollon was the first to bring this trademark to the market in 2025, and now they’re the first to drop a full gram inside a performance-based pre.

Benefits:
• Heightened focus
• Faster reaction time
• Better mind-muscle connection
• Acetylcholine support for skill-based athletes
• No “Alpha GPC water absorption” issues thanks to the new stability of GPCgold™

This is elite-tier cognitive dosing.

Caffeine System (339mg total)

• Natural Caffeine – 200mg

• zumXR® Extended-Release Caffeine – 139mg yield

The blend gives you a fast onset + a smooth second wave that carries deep into the session. Perfect for 75-minute grinders, fight conditioning, or CrossFit-style interval days.

Senactiv® – 100mg

Cellular regeneration + improved power output. Helps buffer fatigue and improve recovery between high-intensity bursts.

AstraGin® – 50mg

Absorption support. Ensures this massive formula actually gets into your system efficiently.

WHAT MAKES LIONHEART V2 DIFFERENT?

Most “endurance pres” either:
• underdose everything
• rely solely on electrolytes
• or slap a stimulant overdose on top of a hollow formula

Lionheart V2 is built like a true performance engine:

• Full clinical beta-alanine

• High-dose tyrosine + Alpha GPC for mental stamina

• A serious nitrate dose for real endurance

• A caffeine system that’s aggressive but not reckless

• Recovery boosters (Senactiv + taurine)

This is the type of formula that shines when you’ve got:
✔ long sparring rounds
✔ 90-minute CrossFit conditioning pieces
✔ high-volume intervals
✔ endurance lifting days
✔ competition warm-ups where you need your brain and lungs on

Apollon didn’t “upgrade” Lionheart — they rebuilt it.

FLAVOR: Pineapple Passion Fruit Raspberry

This isn’t a safe flavor. It’s chaotic tropical energy — bright pineapple, sharper raspberry, and passion fruit in the middle. Exactly the type of flavor profile that slaps when you’re sweating through a 75-minute grind.

More athlete collab flavors drop in 2026.

FINAL VERDICT

Lionheart V2 is one of the best endurance-focused formulas we’ve seen Apollon make — maybe one of the best on the market, period.

It’s built for athletes who live in the red zone: fighters, CrossFitters, conditioning athletes, hybrid athletes, and anyone who wants long-lasting power, clean cognitive drive, and lungs that don’t quit at minute 10.

Apollon didn’t just “upgrade” Lionheart.
They weaponized it.
