15 questionsAftershock is a premium preworkout supplement developed specifically for the fitness enthusiast community. It contains a synergistic blend of 160mg caffeine, L-citrulline, creatine, and advanced nootropics. How does preworkout work? Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system for instant energy, L-theanine ensures calm focus without jitters, L-citrulline increases nitric oxide production for better muscle pump, and creatine supports ATP production for increased strength and endurance.
For optimal effects, we recommend taking Aftershock 20-30 minutes before training. Mix 1 serving (25g) with 250-300ml of cold water. For morning training use a full serving, for afternoon training half a serving (12.5g) is sufficient due to caffeine content. Never exceed 1 full serving daily and avoid taking 5-6 hours before sleep.
Aftershock combines caffeine + L-theanine with performance ingredients and nootropics to support focus and training drive. Effects can vary by person. Follow the recommended serving size and avoid combining with other stimulants. If you have any medical conditions, consult your doctor.
Yes, Aftershock is designed to be safely combined with most supplements. It pairs excellently with: protein drinks (whey, casein), BCAA/EAA amino acids, vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids. Avoid combining with other caffeine sources, stimulants, or preworkout supplements. Consult your doctor if taking medications.
Unlike coffee, which only contains caffeine, Aftershock provides comprehensive support for both physical and mental performance. It contains: synergistic nootropics for better focus, L-citrulline for muscle pump, creatine for strength, betaine for endurance, electrolytes for hydration. Compared to regular preworkouts, Aftershock has a balanced ratio of stimulants and nootropics, ensuring smooth energy without crash.
One 500g package of Aftershock contains exactly 20 full servings (25g) or up to 40 half servings (12.5g). When used 5x weekly (training days only) the package lasts 4-8 weeks. With daily use it lasts 3-6 weeks depending on dosage. We recommend taking breaks - after 8 weeks of use take a 1-2 week pause.
Absolutely yes! Aftershock is ideal for women who want to: increase energy and endurance during training, improve mental focus at work and exercise, support fat burning through thermogenic effect, overcome fatigue and motivation drops. Many women appreciate that Aftershock doesn't contain creatine monohydrate (which can cause water retention), but creatine HCl with better absorption.
With proper dosing, side effects are minimal. May occur: increased need for hydration, slight increase in body temperature, temporary skin flushing. These effects are normal and harmless. With overdose: nervousness, heart palpitations, insomnia. Always follow recommended dosing.
Yes, Aftershock is 100% vegan. All ingredients are plant-based or synthetically produced without animal products. Product doesn't contain: lactose, gluten, soy, nuts, eggs. Manufactured in a facility that also processes dairy products, so may contain trace amounts. For severe allergies, consult your doctor.
First effects are felt within 15-20 minutes - increased alertness and energy. Full effect sets in after 30-45 minutes and lasts 3-5 hours. Thanks to L-theanine, energy is stable without sudden crash. Muscle pump effect from L-citrulline lasts throughout the workout. Nootropic effects on focus and mental performance persist for 4-6 hours.
Nootropics are substances that support cognitive functions - memory, focus, learning, and mental performance. In Aftershock we use: L-theanine for calm focus, Lion's Mane for neuroplasticity support, Rhodiola Rosea for stress resilience, Ginseng for energy and cognition, B-complex vitamins for healthy brain function. These supplements improve mind-muscle connection and overall training quality.
Aftershock supports weight loss in multiple ways: increases metabolism through caffeine's thermogenic effect, improves workout performance = more calories burned, L-carnitine supports fat as energy utilization, suppresses appetite and fatigue, maintains muscle mass during diet thanks to creatine. It's not a miracle fat burner, but effective support with proper diet and training.
Technically yes, but we don't recommend it. Ideally take Aftershock 4-5x weekly on training days only. The body builds tolerance to caffeine and effects diminish. We recommend: take only before training or demanding mental activity, take 1-2 days off weekly, after 8 weeks take a 1-2 week break. This maintains maximum effectiveness.
We offer two premium flavors: Tropical Mango - sweet, fruity, refreshing mango and citrus taste. Ideal for fruit flavor lovers. Blueberry Blast - slightly tart, berry taste with forest fruit notes. Popular among those who prefer less sweet. Both flavors have identical composition and effects, differing only in taste and color.
Aftershock uses premium ingredients in clinically effective doses. For example: pure L-citrulline (not cheaper citrulline malate), creatine monohydrate, premium nootropics (Lion's Mane, Rhodiola Rosea, Ginseng), natural flavors and colors. Plus local EU production with strict standards. Price per serving is still lower than coffee shop coffee, but with much better effects.
