Rise & Grind is formulated with an industry-leading beet-root extract, standardized to 6.5% dietary nitrate content, and a complete blend of all essential and non-essential amino acids from pea isolate, a source of complete protein and dietary branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs – Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) along with natural caffeine, 100% RDA of B vitamins, a digestive enzyme blend and a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans).

The nutrients in Rise & Grind help lean muscle development and promote improved exercise endurance, energy production, strong gut, and clarity & focus so that you can have a purposeful & productive day ahead. Unived’s Rise & Grind is meant for those involved in endurance sports, from Olympic and professional athletes to recreational hobbyists, and to be consumed in the morning post-workout.

Key Benefits

  • Lowers oxygen demand during submaximal work.
  • Enhances blood flow and improves exercise endurance and cardio-respiratory performance.
  • Improves energy production, and stamina.
  • Supports gut health and the immune system.
  • Improves vigilance, alertness, mood, and focus.

Ingredient Information

  • Plant-Based Protein (85%) – 31.29g
  • Beetroot Extract (Beta vulgaris Extract) Standardized to 6.5% Dietary Nitrates – 2000mg
  • Digestive Enzyme Blend (from Bacterial Acid Protease, Bacterial Neutral Protease, Papain, Fungal Alpha Amylase) – 325mg
  • Probiotics [Unique IS 2 (Bacillus coagulans)] – 300mg
  • Anhydrous Caffeine (Extracted from Green Tea) – 100mg

Endurance athletes require a comprehensive amount of high-quality nutrition to support training goals and they undergo a large amount of stress during training and as they continue to chase their performance targets. During the process, they lose muscle mass, lose energy, and stamina, and their oxygen uptake decreases impairing their performance, and they also lose focus and vigilance, and increased stress affects the gut too. Therefore, the requirement of correct, and varied nutrition becomes paramount to restore all that was lost during the exercise and performance.

Unived’s Rise & Grind delivers

  • High-quality protein with 25 grams of protein and 4.54 mg of BCAAs. Pea protein has a high Protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS - a method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on both the amino acid requirement of the body and their ability to digest it) of 0.93 – which is equivalent to the PDCAAs score of meat, eggs, soy, and other protein-rich foods.
  • World’s most potent beetroot extract with a 6.5% nitrate concentration manufactured using a proprietary aqueous process to obtain a high potency extract with minimal oxalate content.
  • Digestive enzyme blend which has proteases (bacterial acid protease, bacterial alkaline protease, and neutral protease), and amylase.
  • Unique IS-2 (Bacillus coagulans) probiotic that is non-pathogenic, safe, naturally encapsulated, and highly stable.
  • Natural Caffeine from Green Tea Extract.
  • Vitamin B complex blend containing Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, and Vitamin B12.

Mode of Action:

a. Pea Protein Isolate:

  • Helps maintain, repair, and grow muscle mass.

b. Dietary Nitrates:

  • Once ingested, dietary nitrates are converted to nitrite and then to bioactive Nitric Oxide (NO) in tissues and blood under physiological hypoxia. Increased levels of NO in tissues and peripheral circulation results in vasodilation which increases blood flow and improved oxygen transport to muscles during exercise [1, 3]. NO also improves mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose uptake in muscle, and enhanced muscle contraction and relaxation processes [3]. NO reduces oxygen consumption during submaximal exercise [4].
  • Improve cardio-respiratory performance.
  • May have an ergogenic effect.

c. Caffeine:

  • Acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist and may modulate fatigue and influence ratings of perceived exertion, perceived pain, and levels of vigor, all of which may lead to performance improvements [6].
  • May help mobilize fat stores, enabling the body to use fat as its primary fuel source [5].
  • Improves mood, cognitive function, alertness, and attention [7]

d. Digestive enzyme blend:

  • Proteases: Breaks down proteins & peptides to ensure the breakdown of protein throughout the digestive tract for complete utilization and absorption of the protein and supports immune functions.
  • Amylase: The enzyme that breaks down pea protein which is a glycoprotein.

e. Probiotic:

  • Helps produce L-lactic acid
  • Helps maintain a healthy digestive system
  • Helps maintain the lipid profile
  • Helps support a healthy immune system
  • Helps digest protein, carbohydrates, and fats

f. B-Vitamins:

  • Thiamine (B1): Plays a critical role in the breakdown of glucose for energy and acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) [8].
  • Riboflavin (B2): Helps extract energy from glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids.
  • Niacin (B3): Breaks down carbohydrates and fatty acids during exercise. It repairs and replicates cells post-exercise.
  • Pyridoxine (B6): Helps deliver oxygen throughout our body and helps nerve cells communicate. Along with folate lowers levels of homocysteine in the blood.
  • Folate (B9): Involved with DNA synthesis, the maturation of red blood cells and other cells, and amino acid metabolism.
  • Cyanocobalamin (B12): Increase endurance capability and aids in the production of new red blood cells.
  • Biotin (B7): Critical for the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose.
  • Pantothenic acid (B5): Involves in many metabolic reactions that extract energy from fatty acids.

Perfect for endurance sports nutrition

I use Unived Endurance Elite gel and its electrolyte salt during my training and races. Have never faced any cramps or dehydration since I started using these. Great product with sustainability.

Excellent Recovery mix

I was looking out for a good replenishment protein mix to recover from a heavy workout schedule from weights training to long cycling rides. I tried the Rise ans Grind in tandem with Rest & Recover and within the first day itself I could see visible results. I strongly recommend this to anyone with an active lifestyle needing muscle repair & rebuilding post workout.

Happy Athlete

Very happy with the Unived products I am using (Pea protein, Salt tablets and gels). The results are positive which helps me with the faster recovery and prepare for my next run.
Strongly recommend to use Unived products to all.

Just what is required

I’ve used other whey proteins and I’ve used this, Rise & Grind protein evidently improved my overall performance. Most importantly, if coupled with Rest & Recover, you’ll feel the effect in a month of usage. These two proteins helped me recover faster(please don’t ignore sleep) and come back with more energy in everyday training. Plus, it’s gut friendly… Thanks Unived for these lovely products.
