Overview

The 13D Nox Icy Cherry pre-workout aims to deliver energy, focus, and pump through a combination of stimulants, nitric oxide precursors, and performance enhancers. However, the use of a proprietary blend, '3 Dimensional Xtreme Screwdrive,' prevents transparency regarding the dosages of key active ingredients like L-Arginine, Beta-Alanine, Caffeine Anhydrous, and Yohimbe. This lack of transparency makes it challenging to confirm if these ingredients are present at clinically effective levels. Furthermore, the inclusion of 2-Aminoisoheptane (DMHA), a synthetic stimulant with known safety concerns, undermines the product's credibility and poses significant health risks, overshadowing any potential benefits from other ingredients. While some ingredients like Caffeine and Beta-Alanine can be effective, their specific quantities are unknown, rendering claims of 'optimum muscle pump,' 'extreme focus,' and 'insane energy' speculative.

The Good

Targeted for pre-workout use, with ingredients commonly associated with energy, focus, and pump.

Contains Caffeine Anhydrous, a widely researched stimulant for enhancing energy, focus, and exercise performance.

Includes Beta-Alanine and Taurine, which can support endurance and reduce fatigue, though doses are unknown.

The Bad

Proprietary blend (3 Dimensional Xtreme Screwdrive) obscures individual ingredient dosages, making it impossible to verify effective concentrations.

Contains 2-Aminoisoheptane (DMHA), a synthetic stimulant with significant safety concerns and regulatory warnings, which is considered unsafe and potentially harmful. Its presence introduces a substantial risk.

Yohimbe is included, which can cause significant side effects (anxiety, hypertension, tachycardia) especially in combination with other stimulants like caffeine and DMHA, and its dosage is unknown.
