Shotgun 12 Gauge Review
Overview
Here is what VPX say about Shotgun 12
Gauge:
VPX 12 Gauge
Shotgun delivers the extreme mental acuity and intense energy required for
explosive workouts in the gym and on the field. Increases in Myogenic
Regulatory Factors up to 515% are proven by a study conducted at Baylor University
The All New 12
Gauge Shotgun has a far more powerful stimulant and "pump" or muscle
volumizing effect than its predecessor, NO-Shotgun MHF-1™. Therefore, some
individuals who do not desire such a powerful stimulant or muscle pump effect
may still prefer the original NO-Shotgun.

I’m going to go ahead and call BS on most
of that blurb they’ve just thrown out but I’m a professional (sort of) so I’ll
go ahead and do a full review.
Serving
Size
Container Size: 392g
Serving Size: 14g
Servings Per Container: 28
Pretty decent considering you don’t use it
on off days and their serving is more than adequate so you don’t need to double
dose like some pre-workouts.

Unfortunately VPX don’t provide an exact
breakdown but rather hide behind “blends”. That doesn’t necessarily mean VPX
are providing poor quality or low quantities of the effective ingredients but
it’s not confidence inspiring either!
Taste
I had watermelon flavour it wasn’t bad, not
great but not bad. No lingering aftertaste which is a nice touch. I found that
if I made it in advance and put it in the fridge it helped a lot with taste.
Price
If you can find it on offer (who pays full
price for anything?) then you can pick it up for about £25-£30 which isn’t too
horrendous. There are definitely cheaper products out there but I have also
paid a hell of a lot more for less. If you are paying more than £30 for it then
you are being ripped off, shop around a bit more.
Side
Effects
It made me tingle from head to toe the
first time I used it. Make no mistake this a powerful pre-workout, if you are
used to stimulants then you will still “feel” this one. No nasty stomach cramps
or headaches. I was expecting a crash when Shotgun wore off but it never came
which was a nice surprise.
Results
Unsurprising VPX didn’t live up to
ludicrous claims but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad product in fact far from
it. No I didn’t find that anything increased by 515% and I wasn’t focus beyond belief
but I did get very strong pumps in any muscle I was working, my legs in
particular seem to swell up after a few sets of heavy squats, and did have the
energy to finish my workouts with some in the tank. Trouble is because even
though I know that 99.99% of what VPX said was marketing crap a tiny part of me
was hoping that it was a miracle product and just left me a little disappointed
*sigh*
Shotgun 12 Gauge is an excellent preworkout
that will get you amazing pumps and a decent energy boost but it’s a little
pricey and for the love of god ignore every word that VPX say. 8/10
