Alright, so in case you haven’t heard, word on the street is that Dark Energy pre workout will no longer be made. After the current batch is gone, that’s it.

Party’s over.

While this will definitely be a bummer to many of you, the good news is that there are still tons of great pre workouts out there.

Dark Energy Pre Workout Alternatives

Honestly, there are loads of pre workouts I like way more than Dark Energy.

I know a lot of you will want that same euphoric, happy feeling Dark Energy was famous for, so here are some pre workouts that provide similar feelings.

Euphoric DMHA Buzz
Flame Pre Workout v3 - Dark Labs
Flame Pre Workout v3 - Dark Labs
4.8

Hard-hitting, "happy" DMHA experience. This one will make the stim junkies soar.

All stims, no pumps, but if you want energy, focus, and euphoria then Flame is the answer.

One of my personal favorites.

V3 is closer to how V1 felt, more euphoric, less "heart pounding" than V2.

The purple label Crack Pre-Workout is gone.

But don't despair!

Crack Gold, it's stronger brother, is still available.

Plus, the new Crack OG is very similar (I'd say just as good).
