Overview

The supplement includes several well-researched ingredients like creatine, beta-alanine, and caffeine, which are known to improve exercise performance, strength, and endurance. However, the proprietary nature of most blends makes it difficult to ascertain the exact dosages of many key active compounds, raising concerns about potential underdosing for some ingredients and synergistic effects. With specific compounds like Picamilon and Evodia Rutaecarpa having limited human efficacy data, their contribution to overall effectiveness is questionable.

The Good

Provides clinically effective dose of Beta-Alanine (CarnoSyn®) for endurance and fatigue reduction.

Includes a variety of creatine forms, contributing to overall creatine pool for strength and power.

Contains ingredients like L-Tyrosine and Alpha-GPC which may support focus and cognitive function under stress.

The Bad

Extensive use of proprietary blends (Shock'D® Blend, ATP Surge Blend, Beta Shock Blend, Hemo Pump Blend, Neuro Nootropic Blend, Shock Energy Blend) makes precise dosing of most active ingredients unknowable.

Contains Picamilon, an unapproved food additive with limited human safety and efficacy data, posing regulatory and health risks.

High stimulant load due to caffeine anhydrous and Citrus Aurantium extract (synephrine), increasing risk of cardiovascular side effects, especially given undisclosed quantities within blends.
