Scitec Pow3rd

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

POW3RD! 2.0 is a sophisticated, proprietary pre-workout support formula with 10 carefully selected active ingredients. You really cannot know what it could do for you until you try it! We have a “DualCreatine” blend at a dose that is scientifically proven to increase performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise like weight training and interval cardio. AKG, Alpha-Ketoglutarate is an integral component of the Krebs-cycle, which is an energy generating cycle in the body. L-Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid and a precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO). Arginine supplementation is a general practice among athletes, bodybuilders. And we’re sure the other ingredients will also be to your liking! 

The complex POW3RD! 2.0 formula provides the following benefits:
- contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- contributes to normal amino acid synthesis
- contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- contributes to normal blood formation
- contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism
- contributes to normal psychological function
- has a role in the process of cell division

Unfortunately we aren’t given an exact breakdown of what amounts of each ingredient is included. All the usual pre-workout suspects are in there though creatine, l-arginine, beta-alainine, caffeine (duh) and maltodextrin.

So there is not a lot new in there but if it works then there doesn’t need to be.

Taste
I had the Power Pear flavour and it was great, much better than most preworkouts out there. It tasted a bit like pear drops that had been melted down.

I wish I had the Arousing Apple flavour I could have made some great "increased blood flow" jokes. Oh well. Next time.  

Side Effect
None

Price
£19.79 for 50 servings.

Results
Honestly who doesn’t love a good preworkout? I’ll hold me hand up and say that I love them and I love Pow3rd! It has everything you need from a great one. You get a good energy rush about 20 minutes after you’ve taken it and it last for about 50 minutes. The pump isn’t sleeve tearing but it is solid, you seem to get a pump no matter whether you train in the low rep or high rep scheme, there is no escaping the pump. Best of all though there is no energy crash after it wears off it just nicely calms down. I did try a double serving (who doesn’t every now and then?) and to be honest it didn’t completely blow me away but it did the job I needed it to.

The value is outstanding giving you 50 servings for less than £20. The thing that seals the deal though is the taste, preworkouts don’t generally taste brilliant but this one bucks the trend and taste great. Everyone that tried it agreed as well which is very rare round here.

I can’t really think of a down side to Pow3rd. It’s an all round awesome preworkout. 9/10
