Crypto is a pre-workout supplement from Bio Tech Nutra. With 1 g L-Tyrosine, 1 g Choline, 450 mg total caffeine (from anhydrous and citrate), Theophylline, and Alpha Yo, the energy and sense of urgency is incredibly strong. Most importantly, the energy goes where it needs to go.

Other than for a workout, I took a dose before a 12+ hour shift for my job, and the effects were the same, high and intense energy with dialed-in focus and a strong sense of urgency.

Due to how strong the energy and Alpha Yo effects are, I would only recommend this to intermediate pre-workout users. If you have used Alpha Yo before and are looking to take the next step in pre-workouts, this supplement would be a great option.

Crypto is similar to Super BIOFreak, Specimen Yo-Yo, or Stimmed Up.

Read on for additional details of my experience, the best prices for the Crypto pre-workout, and a breakdown of its ingredient label.

Alpha Phlyte Nutrition’s Project Catalyst is a pre-workout supplement from Alpha Phlyte Nutrition. It has returned, but the DMAA has been replaced by 350 mg Eria Jarensis. Unfortunately, it’s not as good as its predecessor in mood elevation and energy.

Let’s start with how things have stayed the same as the previous version. Both versions have 5 g L-Citrulline Malate, 3.5 g Beta-Alanine, 350 mg Caffeine Anhydrous along with 500 mg Vitamin C and 50 mcg Vitamin B12 (for some anti-oxidants).

Smack is a pre-workout supplement from Vices & Vibes. It’s a high stim pre-workout, containing 300 mg of DMHA, 300 mg of caffeine from multiple sources, and 250 mg of eria jarensis.

Even though this supplement is called smack, the effects are smooth and, at times, subtle. The most notable effects are focus and some mood elevation. This is definitely not an over-the-top energy kind of experience, nor is it aggressive.

Naked Oatmeal Protein Cookie Review

I’m always on the lookout for tasty, high-protein snacks. After years of looking, I honestly still haven’t found “the one.”

Usually, they either taste terrible or contain a lot of sugar alcohols that make them difficult to digest. For those not in the know, “difficult to digest” is code for “makes me gassy.”

Alright well now that we know each other a bit better, I’m happy to share that Naked Nutrition’s oatmeal protein cookies are super tasty and leave my bathroom intact.

A true protein cookie miracle.

Naked PB Peanut Butter Powder Review

I’ve been using peanut butter powder in my morning protein shakes for the last several years. It’s an excellent whole food source of protein and a great alternative to peanut butter, which has more fat and calories.

Even better, it tastes great. It’s truly all upside and no downside.

One of the most crucial ingredients of pre-workout is caffeine.

Lots of people love the stuff, especially avid lifters, but the desired amount of caffeine varies from person to person.
