AAKGTaurine / AAKG
Taurine has been studied for performance benefits and studies found that single doses of 1–6 g per day for up to 2 weeks significantly improved endurance exercise performance. Two studies found that taurine might have a role in recovery from muscular injuries and improving resistance exercise performance.

AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate), a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance formed in the body’s energy-generating process.... Nitric oxide is known to have blood-flow-enhancing effects, which could in theory increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle...double-blind trials of AAKG suggest it improves some measures of strength and power resulting from weight training

Beta AlanineCitrulline / Beta Alanine
One of the biggest benefits associated with the amino acid Citrulline is that it promotes vasodilation, the widening of your blood vessels. Several studies show that citrulline may help to improve your athletic performance. It may do this by increasing the amount of oxygen in your muscle tissue. While supplements may not help your body use more oxygen, they could help improve the oxygen usage in your muscles, which can then help to improve your endurance. Some studies also show that citrulline may help improve your weight training performance. One study found that men who took a citrulline malate supplement were able to do 53% more repetitions than those who took a placebo. The supplement also appears to have led to reduced muscle soreness two days later.

Beta-alanine is a non-proteogenic amino acid that is produced endogenously in the liver. In addition, humans acquire beta-alanine through the consumption of foods such as poultry and meat. ...Supplementation of beta-alanine for at least 2 to 4 weeks has been shown to improve exercise performance, with more pronounced effects in open end-point tasks/time trials lasting 1 to 4 min in duration. Beta-alanine attenuates neuromuscular fatigue, particularly in older subjects, and preliminary evidence indicates that beta-alanine may improve tactical performance.

Focus
Cognitive PerformanceGuarana
Guarana has been used for centuries by ancestral indigenous tribes in the Amazon to reduce fatigue. More recent studies have shown an increase in cognitive performance when taking guarana. Guarana contains caffeine, theobromine and theophylline which can affect focus and energy. See articles below for more info.
