Apollon Assassin V7 Pre Workout Review

Video Transcription:

John:
What's going on, guys? You guys have tuned into the Best Price Nutrition YouTube channel. Me and Brad here, are going to be taking a look at the all new V7 Apollon. This is, I think, most people are saying probably the most intense pre-workout they've ever seen.

Brad:
Definitely.

John:
Apollon's a brand that we've brought in within the past couple of weeks, past month or two. Has already become a huge hit amongst our customers. Initially, we got in the Hooligan and Hooligan Bare Knuckle. Then came the Shogun, one of the most intense fat burners I've seen today. People have been loving this one. And now, we got the Apollon Assassin V7. Super-intense pre-workout. A lot of people have been looking for this one.

Brad:
Yeah, heavily requested.

John:
Heavily requested, right? A lot of people coming in, specifically looking for it. And this is over the top when it comes to stim. Brad's going to get into kind of the formula in a minute here. But just one thing I wanted to point out is this isn't just one of those pre-workouts, where it's just loaded with 800 milligrams of caffeine, and you just got a bunch of stims smashed into here. And we got some great ingredients and really good dosages for pumps. We've got some nootropics like lion's mane, tyrocine. We got noopept, which is something that we don't see in many supplements. Noopept is kind of a mild stimulant. It's a mood booster, helps with social anxiety, and it's good for long and short-term memory, learning, cognition. And then we got a pretty hefty dose of yohimbine and alpha yohimbine in here, which is going to be not only a stimulant, but it's really going to get you sweating in the gym as well. I know every time I take a pre-workout with yohimbine, I'm drenched in sweat two sets in.

John:
So what do we got going on here? This can be taken as what, a half or a one scoop serving?

Brad:
Yeah. And then, with this, this is the seventh version. Like John was saying, previous versions, because we got samples sent to us like two years ago, and we didn't bring them in at the time. The Assassin that they sent us was 600 milligrams of caffeine and 300 milligrams of DMHA, and I think it was just only stimulants after that. This is the best label because they have, like John said, a little bit of everything.

Brad:
So just going down the line, I'm going to do it based off of the scoop because that's probably what most people are going to do, you get four grams of L-citrulline, which isn't citrulline malate, it's legit citruline, which is really, really good. It's more than a clinical dose. 3.5 grams of beta-alanine, so you'll definitely get the tingles. 2.5 grams of betaine anhydrous, which is an osmolyte. It's good for a pump. Two grams of tyrosine, which you normally see at like a gram, 1.5 grams. You get a full two grams in here. It's good for focus. Agmatine Sulfate at a gram. That's good for a pump. Lion's mane, you get one gram. I think normally you see that at like 600 milligrams, something like that.

John:
Yeah. That's a pretty hefty dose, there.

Brad:
Yeah, and lion's mane increases the neurotropic growth factor in your brain, which increases the connections between the neurons in your brain, which is awesome. It's really, really good for memory. Phenylethylamine, I believe that's kind of a stimulant. I believe that's PEA. It's usually very short-acting, but if you had something like higenamine, that makes it last longer, which it is in here. And then, one scoop has 450 milligrams of caffeine. That's a lot of caffeine. So if you're getting kind of used to caffeine, if you're taking stuff where even if it has caffeine and DMHA, if you're not feeling it anymore, this is the next thing to go to. If you're not feeling this anymore, stop taking pre-work. Rest for a while. Juglans Regia extract. That is actually DMHA; it's the natural version of it. 300 milligrams. That is a lot. That's a lot of DMHA.

Brad:
Eria jarensis. That is the natural form of PEA, if I'm not mistaken. I think that one just last longer. 300 milligrams. Grape seed extract at 300 milligrams. That's going to be good for blood flow. And then, you've got another form of caffeine, di-caffeine malate, 200 milligrams. Higenamine, that's going to work off of the PEA, make it last longer. Hordenine, I believe-

John:
It's another stimulant.

Brad:
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's like a natural ... No, it's not natural. I forgot exactly what that does, but it's definitely a stimulant, not a pump product. AstraGin, that is in there at 50 milligrams. That increases absorption. That's panax ginseng and one other ingredient. Noopept, John already went over that. It's a really cool ingredients to have. And you don't see it in things anymore. They actually took it out of a lot of products for whatever reason. And then, you got the yohimbine, and then the alpha yohimbine. So all in all, this is going to be very, very strong. Like I said, if you're taking a scoop of this, and you're not feeling it anymore, you really just got to lay off stimulants for like two-three weeks, reset, and start with like a lower stim pre-workout, and work your way back up. This isn't for a first time user. Even at a half scoop, it's not for a first-time user. At half-scoop, 225 caffeine, 150 DMHA, all the other stimulants. That's still quite a lot.

John:
And, you know, I think it's kind of important to point out, we got the little warning here, "Warning: extreme potency." And I feel like every brand, like, "Not for beginners." This is going to be intense.

Brad:
Yeah, that's a real warning. It's not just a marketing thing. This is legit. If you're taking more than a scoop of this, we got big problems. And it says, "Mix one scoop with 8 to 10 ounces of water. Consume approximately 15 to 30 minutes." I would say, if you're working out, don't take this any time after 3-4:00 PM because you're just going to be up all night. Even if you're used to caffeine, you're not used to all these other stimulants. Definitely not all at the same time. So this is really something that you want to keep in mind when you're taking this. If I were to take this, I would only take this like a Saturday or Sunday morning, where I have all day to just sit and sweat, because that's what's going to happen after ... You're going to sweat like crazy on this. You're going to be tweaking for a long time, and you're not going to want to eat for a long time, too.

John:
And I take this for an intense workout, where you're going to work out some of that energy. Don't do this on one of your days where you're going to run on a treadmill for 15 minutes and do three sets of curls or something.

Brad:
Yeah, this is definitely not a half-assed pre-workout. This is once-in-a-while type deal, honestly. If I had a tub of this, this would probably last me, I don't know, four, five months. I just wouldn't use this that often. It's very, very particular.

John:
Do we have any idea what these flavors are? I know we have two flavors. We got, what is it? Ninja carnage and tiger's blood.

Brad:
I think that this is like a Bomb Pop because it's red, white, and blue.

John:
That's what I was thinking. And this, I was thinking either like a fruit punch or some type of mixed berry.

Brad:
Probably like a fruit punch, yeah. I think that's generally what tiger's blood is. But yeah, we have these in all of our stores. We have them on our websites. It's brand new, and we've already sold through a ton of them, so if you're interested, you really want to get on it now because I don't know how long they're going to last. Right when the production was done, we got as many as we could. And they're selling out very fast, so you really want to hop on it if you're interested. I think that's about it. You got anything?

John:
No. I mean, yeah, we'd love to hear what you guys think of this one. So if you want to buy in a tub, be sure to come back, drop a comment, let us know. If you thought it was nothing, you might be a lunatic. If you thought it was intense, we'd love to hear what you guys thought about this one. So come back, drop a comment, let us know.

Brad:
Yeah. All right. Thanks, guys.

John:
Later, guys.
