Scitec Attack Review



Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

Attack the weights with ferocity with the help of our complex pre-workout Creatine booster formula! Don't take part in the futile debate of which single Creatine type is the best – take many types! “Carpet bomb” your muscle cells with important versions of Creatine with our “CREA-BOMB” matrix. Each serving gives you 5 grams of the most studied Creatine, Creatine Monohydrate (and other Creatines in our proprietary matrix).

At least a 3 g daily dose of Creatine is scientifically proven to increase performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise like weight training and interval cardio.* ATTACK! 2.0 contains a good dose of extra amino acids, and vitamins, plus intermediates of the energy producing Krebs-cycle. Some of our key ingredients contribute to one or more of the following beneficial physiological effects:

- Normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- Reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Normal amino acid synthesis.
- Normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Normal function of the immune system.
- Normal blood formation.
- Normal psychological function.

So this preworkout isn’t a stimulant booster but tries to reduce muscle fatigue and tiredness so you can psych yourself up for the gym and it’ll help you out in the workout rather than before it. It’s handy to know of a few good non-stimulant preworkouts in case you are taking a few other supplements with caffeine in and want to be able to sleep at night.

Taste
I have to say that I never would have bought of a cherry flavoured pre-workout normally. It's not a flavour I would typically choose. I would have missed out. This is one of the nicest preworkouts I've ever had. It was like drinking Cherry Aid. It wasn't hard to drink and didn't leave any nasty aftertaste probably due to the fact you mix it with 500ml it dissolves nicely leaving no grit.

Side Effects
None

Price
£18.99 for 25 sachets with 1 serving in each.

Results
I generally find that preworkouts take a bit longer for me to feel the effects than they would other people. Scitecs ATTACK kicked in roughly the same time every time 30-40 mins after taking I had a massive boost in momentum and felt like I could continue training. Since this is a non-stimulant preworkout it’s less an energy rush and more a feel like you can go on, your muscles don’t feel as tired. It’s a strange feeling but one that I like. No high doses of caffeine means no nasty energy crash afterwards as well.

The thing I really like is that if you forget to take it before your workout you can take it after for improved recovery. Make sure you do a workout before or after taking this or you will struggle to sit still. It tastes nice, is fairly priced and has no unwanted side effects.

Scitec have done it again. Great product 9/10
