Frequently Asked Questions about Aftershock Preworkout

Aftershock is a preworkout supplement developed for the Slovak and Czech community. One serving (25 g) contains 160 mg caffeine, 5 g L-citrulline, 2.5 g creatine, 2.5 g betaine, 100 mg L-theanine, 250 mg lion's mane, 250 mg rhodiola, 350 mg ginseng, and vitamins B3, B6 and B12. Niacin (B3), vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. The formula is fully transparent, every ingredient is listed with its amount, no proprietary blends.

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.

Coffee contains caffeine and nothing else. Alongside its 160 mg of caffeine, Aftershock also has 5 g L-citrulline, 2.5 g creatine, 2.5 g betaine, 100 mg L-theanine, plant extracts (lion's mane, Rhodiola Rosea, ginseng), electrolytes (potassium chloride and Himalayan salt), and vitamins B3, B6 and B12. Niacin, vitamin B6 and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The full formula is published with amounts.

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.

Yes. Aftershock is not split by gender and the serving is the same. The niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 in a serving contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function. It contains no beta-alanine, so there is no tingling. If you are sensitive to caffeine, start with half a serving (12.5 g). The creatine in Aftershock is monohydrate, 2.5 g per serving.

With proper dosing, side effects are minimal. You may notice: increased thirst, a slight rise in body temperature, temporary skin flushing. These usually pass on their own. Above the recommended serving: nervousness, heart palpitations, trouble falling asleep. Always follow the 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.

Caffeine is absorbed within tens of minutes and its effect lasts several hours. The exact timing varies from person to person depending on body weight, tolerance and what you ate beforehand, so we do not publish specific numbers. We recommend taking Aftershock 20 to 30 minutes before training and avoiding it 5 to 6 hours before bed.

Nootropics are substances used in the context of mental performance. Aftershock contains lion's mane (250 mg), Rhodiola Rosea (250 mg), ginseng (350 mg) and L-theanine (100 mg), which is commonly paired with caffeine. We do not state specific effects for the plant extracts, because no EU health claims are authorised for them. Aftershock's authorised claims come from its B vitamins: niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 contribute to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.

No. Aftershock is not a fat burner and is not intended for weight loss. It contains no L-carnitine or any other ingredient we would associate with weight loss. It is a preworkout. Weight loss comes down to energy intake and expenditure, not a supplement.

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 ingredients at amounts printed individually on the label. For example: pure L-citrulline monohydrate (not the cheaper citrulline malate), creatine monohydrate, plant extracts (lion's mane, Rhodiola Rosea, ginseng), and vitamins B3, B6 and B12. Plus EU manufacturing. The price per serving is still lower than a coffee-shop coffee.
