God of Rage Pre Workout Review

God of Rage is a high-stimulant pre workout from Centurion Labz, and the first thing you should know is that it isn’t sold in the form reviewed on this page anymore. What Centurion ships today is the upgraded version, God of Rage Unchained, and the label is completely different.

The version I tested was a DMHA pre workout built on Juglans Regia, eria jarensis and hordenine. Unchained drops all of that and rebuilds around 6 g of citrulline, 3 g of glycerol, 425 mg of total caffeine, synephrine and yohimbine. Different product, same name on the tub.

This page is the record of the old DMHA formula, which plenty of people are still looking for. If you want the current one, I’ve reviewed it separately and that review is where you should go.

Verdict

Bottom line: the DMHA version I tested was fine and nothing more. It never hit the way a high-stim pre workout should, and it didn’t make my list of strongest pre workouts or top DMHA pre workouts.

Pros

• No negative side effects, and a clean taper rather than a crash
• Beta alanine at a genuinely correct 3.2 g dose
• Energy did arrive at about 20 to 25 minutes and carried the session
• Fully disclosed label with no proprietary blend, then and now

Cons

• Never delivered the jolt the branding promises. Compared to Wrecked Extreme or ESP Extreme, it wasn’t close
• Focus and mood lift were both underwhelming
• Flavour was okay at best
• The formula I reviewed is discontinued, so this verdict is about a product you can no longer buy. For the current one, read my God of Rage Unchained review

God of Rage Is Now God of Rage Unchained

Centurion’s current panel is marked for all batches from March 2026 onward, and it is ingredient-for-ingredient the same as God of Rage Unchained. The DMHA formula below is history.

• Gone: DMHA (Juglans Regia), creatine monohydrate, taurine, hordenine, higenamine
• Added: glycerol monostearate 3 g, DMAE 500 mg, synephrine 75 mg, yohimbine HCl 5 mg, alpha yohimbine 1.5 mg, AstraGin
• Increased: citrulline 4 g to 6 g, choline 100 to 500 mg, eria jarensis 150 to 200 mg, caffeine 300 mg to 425 mg total (325 mg anhydrous plus 100 mg from di-caffeine malate)

The swap from DMHA to yohimbine plus synephrine is the part worth pausing on. They are not interchangeable. Yohimbine is notorious for causing anxiety and nausea in people who don’t tolerate it, and 5 mg of yohimbine HCl next to 1.5 mg of alpha yohimbine is a serious dose. If DMHA is what you came for, this isn’t it anymore.

I’ve tested the current version and written it up in full, ingredient by ingredient, in my God of Rage Unchained review. Everything below this point is about the older formula.

Where to Buy

The DMHA version reviewed here is no longer made. What you can buy is the upgraded formula:

• Nutri Cartel carries God of Rage Unchained
  • LIFTVAULT15 = 15% off
• Centurion Labz sells it direct as God of Rage

My Experience (2021 DMHA Formula)

Note: everything in this section is my experience of the DMHA version, which Centurion no longer sells. I haven’t tested the 2026 reformulation.

Honestly, I wasn’t all that impressed with God of Rage. It’s not a bad pre workout, but it wasn’t really a stand out for me. I’m sure some people will have positive experiences with it, but for me it just didn’t do much.

Flavor

I tried the “gashing grape” flavor. It’s just okay. It’s not disgusting, but not especially tasty either. I think most people will be fine with it.

If you need super delicious pre workout flavors, this might not be for you (but let’s be honest, most people looking into God of Rage probably are not flavor snobs).

Experience

I took God of Rage before my morning workout, along with my standard breakfast shake.

I didn’t feel intense beta alanine tingling, but you can definitely tell it has beta alanine.

From there, by 20 to 25 minutes I could feel a decent kick of energy. Focus wasn’t super dialed in, nor was mood lift. For me, I was simply able to go through my workout without any issues. I didn’t feel like a God or anything like that.

Compared to recent pre workouts like Wrecked Extreme or even ESP Extreme, I just didn’t feel the same jolt. I don’t think I would have guessed this had DMHA on label if I hadn’t already seen it there.

Side Effects

On the plus side, I didn’t experience any negative side effects from God of Rage pre workout. It lasted for a few hours and tapered off as expected.

Would I Buy It Again?

I probably wouldn’t recommend the version I tried for anyone looking for an angry, intense pre workout or anything super motivational. It was just fine. For something better, I’d check out my lists of strongest pre workouts or favorite DMHA pre workouts.

The 2021 DMHA Formula (What I Tested)

Kept for reference, and because plenty of people are still searching for the DMHA version. This is the label I reviewed:

• L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 – 4,000 mg. A classic pump ingredient and one of the best-researched supplements available, but short of the 6,000 mg clinical dose. Common in stim-heavy pre workouts, which tend to cut pump ingredients to fund the stimulants.
• Beta Alanine – 3,200 mg. Supports muscular endurance and buffers lactic acid. It needs daily intake over three to five weeks to do anything, and 3.2 g is right on the money.
• Creatine Monohydrate – 3,000 mg. You generally want 5 g per day, so this fell short, though it may still have helped muscle hydration during a session.
• Taurine – 500 mg. A miscellaneous ingredient that can aid blood flow and reduce cramping (Examine). 500 mg is low, but taurine is never the star anyway.
• Juglans Regia Extract – 200 mg. This was the DMHA, a stimulant similar to DMAA known for energy, focus and mood. 200 mg is a standard but strong dose. Related: Where to Buy DMHA Powder Online, Best Pre Workout with DMHA.
• Theobromine – 200 mg. A caffeine-light stimulant. 200 mg is a meaningful dose for a mild ingredient.
• N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine Citrate – 150 mg. Better known as eria jarensis, and usually seen next to DMHA in high-stim formulas. The most I’ve seen anywhere is 500 mg in Flame Pre Workout.
• Mucuna Pruriens (15% L-Dopa) – 100 mg. Velvet bean, with minor dopamine and cortisol effects. I doubt 100 mg at 15% did much: Cannibal Ferox had 150 mg at 98% L-Dopa and I still felt nothing from it.
• Choline Bitartrate – 100 mg. A focus ingredient and a precursor to acetylcholine. 100 mg is a token amount. Doses that do something start closer to 500 mg, which is exactly where the 2026 formula moved it.
• Hordenine HCL – 50 mg. A mild stimulant that slows the breakdown of other stimulants, so it’s included to stretch the rest of the panel rather than for its own effect.
• Higenamine HCL – 25 mg. A beta-agonist stimulant usually dosed between 25 and 75 mg. This sat at the bottom of that range.
• Huperzine A – 200 mcg. Slows acetylcholine breakdown and pairs with choline for focus. 200 mcg is a normal, effective dose, and the one ingredient in the old nootropic side of this formula that was properly dosed.
• Caffeine Anhydrous – 300 mg. On the label and, until this refresh, missing from this review entirely.

Second Opinions

TJ from FDN enjoyed God of Rage a lot more than I did. His video review covers the DMHA version, same as mine.
