Build PM
Jacked Factory
Overview
Build PM targets sleep aid and recovery but exhibits significant dosing issues. While some ingredients for sleep (Melatonin, L-Theanine) and recovery (Tart Cherry, Magnesium) are included, the dosages of key components like Zinc and Ashwagandha are suboptimal for their stated benefits. The muscle-building claims are largely unfounded given the ingredient profile and doses, with Leucine being an unquantified 'other ingredient'.
The Good
Contains Melatonin and L-Theanine at doses that can effectively promote sleep and relaxation.
Includes VitaCherry Tart Cherry Powder, which is clinically backed for reducing post-exercise soreness and aiding muscle recovery.
Magnesium and Zinc (though underdosed) are essential micronutrients that play roles in numerous bodily functions, including muscle function and recovery.
The Bad
Vitamin B6 is significantly overdosed at 588% DV, which can lead to neurological issues with long-term use.
Zinc is significantly underdosed, providing only 36% of the daily value. The effective clinical dose of zinc is usually between 15-40 mg, making the 4 mg provided ineffective for most benefits, unless a severe deficiency is present.
Ashwagandha Root Extract is dosed at 250 mg, which is below the minimum effective dose of 300 mg for stress reduction.
Is it for you?
Best For: Athletes, individuals seeking sleep support, those looking for nighttime recovery
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a doctor.
