This stuff works like a charm. When used in combination with a low carbohydrate high fat diet, there is little if any hunger and the weight comes off. I lost 17 lbs in 30 days using this combination. I have had a lot of difficulty losing weight with other approaches, but this works wonderfully.

Introduction

Vaxxen Labs is a newer company which I had never heard of before until they put their products on the trooper program. When I saw this posted on the trooper program I had to check it out. After seeing the ingredient profile for this I was rather impressed and figured I would give it a try. This I will say was a pre-workout I was really glad I decided to give a try. This is a very good well rounded pre-workout that will help you in a lot of different areas.



Ingredient Profile

First I want to thank Vaxxen Labs for not using any prop blends in this and fully disclose everything they put in here. What I really like about this is that it has a nice well rounded list of ingredients to help you with Energy and strength, pumps and vascularity, and tunnel vision. I like that they give you a decent amount of caffeine at 350mg, You also get some B6 and B12 vitamins to help with some energy.



You get L-citrulline malate 4g, agmatine 1g, and Beta alanine 2.5g for pumps and vascularity.



Oxystorm (red spinach extract) 500mg. is an excellent source of potassium (about 8%) which is vital for physical performance. In a clinical trial conducted at the University of Auburn concluded that Oxystorm causes a significant increase in plasma nitrate and thus - nitric oxide. In the human body, increases of nitric oxide helps reduce fatigue experienced during exercise by improving the body's ability to convert energy. The energy increase experienced from taking OxyStorm does not cause the "jitters" or the crash that often comes from similar alkaloid stimulants.



Halostachine 20mg is similar in chemical structure and function to ephedrine. It's a beta adrenergic agonist but is thought to be less potent than ephedrine and therefore, a safer alternative. Clinical studies found no significant increases of heart rate when taking Halostachine. When consumed, Halostachine stimulates the release of neurotransmitters, adrenaline and noradrenaline, into the bloodstream. People taking Halostachine experience increased focus and alertness, and an increase of energy. In the body, Halostachine helps lipolysis, the process of breaking down and releasing fatty acids.



Taste/Mixability/Dosing

This comes in one flavor bombsicle. This reminded me a lot of those bombsicle popsicles I used to eat when I was a kid. Unlike what warmachine said in his review for this I thought overall this was pretty good and had a nice taste to it. I know not everyone is always going to like the same flavor and we both disagreed on this flavor but that's ok. It is a little on the strong side in the way of taste but I liked that and think it made it taste better by them doing that. This was a little on the sweet side I noticed but I did not mind that but know some may not like that. I never really found there to be to much of any kind of chemical taste to this or any weird after taste. This was something I looked forward to drinking each time.



Had no real issues with mixing. When mixed it does cause a lot of foam to form on the top. I noticed there was about a good inch of foam on top. Not real sure what caused all of this form but it did not bother me. Also I like that they do not use any dyes in this. I don't need some kind of fancy color to make it look better. I just need it to taste good and work. This looked like ice tea when mixed. Dosing is real simple. For me I used one scoop about 15-20 before my workout. If your someone who is not as stim tolerant you may want to start out with 1/2 scoop and work your way up to one full scoop. I never really felt the need to do more than one scoop just because of all the heavy stims they put in here.



Effectiveness

I found this to be a rather effective pre-workout for me. It has a nice well round list of ingredients to help you in a lot of different areas which I really liked about this. For this being a little heavy on stims I felt it gave me some pretty good energy that was consistent and lasted me a long time. It never gave me that jittery or cracked out feeling which was nice. The energy I got from this felt like a more clean like energy which I really liked. I know there where a few times I would feel really tired from working all day and as soon as I took this I could really start to feel this got my energy level to go up.



My overall endurance from this I think was really improved. I felt on days when I was really hitting it hard or doing a lot of sets and reps this really helped keep me going more. I felt like I could keep going longer and needed a lot less time between sets. I know my breathing seemed to stay more calm like and was better able to control it. I noticed on days when I was really hitting it hard I would really start to sweat a lot from this. I don't usually sweat a real lot but with this I really noticed it. Some days I had that like dripping sweat from my forehead. The only time I seemed to noticed the intense like sweating was on days when I would really up my workouts and was hitting it a lot harder. On days when I was not hitting it as hard I did not noticed the sweating as much. Fulc



The pumps and vascularity from this I thought where pretty decent. I do a lot of high volume training and I noticed the pumps I was getting seemed to be a lot more consistent. I felt like my muscles where more swole at times and had that more fuller look to them. The pumps I got where decent nothing that was really painful like. I know some days I felt like I was getting more blood flow because the pumps I was getting were really noticeable. I know my veins at times seemed to pop a lot more. My forearms I noticed had more of those road map like veins popping. It was nothing real crazy like but enough to notice it was doing something vascularity wise.



My overall focus I thought was really good. I felt like I could really lock into my workouts better and tune out other distractions I tend to have while working out. The tunnel vision it gave me was really good. It's always a big plus when you can get that laser like mental focus and tunnel vision. I felt I could really stay on track with my workouts a lot better because of the good mental focus this gave me.



My strength gains from this seemed to really go up a bit. I know from where I was on a lot of lifts when I started taking this to where I was when I finished this I noticed some decent gains. My lifts seemed to go a lot better and I felt a lot better overall when working out in general. I felt like I had that extra drive to really push through some of those more difficult workouts.



Value

Right now the only two places you can get this is on Vaxxen Labs website and amazon. On both sites they want $39.99 for 25 servings. I think this is just a little on the high side. I prefer pre-workouts to be priced around 30 to low 30's dollar range at most. I would like to see them up this to 30 servings instead 25. That I think would help on the value a little. Hopefully some other sites can start carrying this product line because I know that would help to get the price down a little.



Side Effects

Nothing I noticed.



Conclusion

This was a pre-workout I was really pleased with and have to say probably one of the better pre-workouts I have tried. For this being a new pre-workout from a newer company I think they did a really good job on this product. What I really liked about this is that you get a wide variety of ingredients to help you in a lot of different areas which was nice. This is kind like your all in one pre-workout. I think this is more than worth giving a try if you get the chance. I really hope this company can make it and we can start seeing their products on a few other sites. I would like to see them expand on their flavors a little so you can switch flavors and not get tired of just one flavor all the time. This will be a pre-workout I would for sure use again. I am really looking forward to seeing what this company comes out with in terms of new products since this was such a great product. Again I want to give a big shout out to Vaxxen Labs for making this product and letting me have the chance to try it.

I had claimed their pre-workout Fulcrum off the trooper program and they were nice enough to send me this protein also. I was really excited to give this a try once I saw the flavor they had sent me blueberry muffin. I am really big on trying new proteins and especially if they have more unique flavors.





Ingredient Profile

The ingredient profile for this is pretty straight forward and simple. I like that they don't add a bunch of extra fillers and other junk you don't need or want. The is low in calories 125, 1.5g of fat, 3g of carbs, 2g sugar and 24g of protein. In this you get a blend of whey concentrate, and whey isolate. This is a bit heavier on the whey concentrate than the whey Isolate. With this being heavier on concentrate it can cause some GI issues but with this I did not noticed any real gut issues. On their website it says this is not lactose free but they add lactose, the digestive enzyme to insure smooth-digestion. This product also uses natural and artificial flavors and contains ace-K and sucralose.





Taste/Mixability/Dosing

This comes in two flavors Birthday Cake and Blueberry Muffin. I was sent the Blueberry Muffin. I was pretty excited to try this flavor once I saw this was the flavor they sent me. This has been a flavor I have wanted to try for awhile now and was glad this was the flavor they sent me. I am sure the Birthday Cake is pretty good also and would love to try that flavor at some point. I noticed right away when you take the lid off you get a really strong smell of the blueberry muffin powder. This reminded me a lot of the blueberry mix you use when you make blueberry muffins. Even when I had just the powder in my shaker cup before adding water to it, it still had that strong smell to it and had a couple of guys I workout with say they could really smell it when they were close by me. I thought it had a nice light blueberry muffin taste to it. There was no weird chalky or chemical taste to it. This was something I really enjoyed drinking each time I used this. It had a nice rich and creamy smooth taste to it. This should be nothing you will have any trouble wanting to drink. The only little issue I did have and it was nothing to serious was that after drinking this it did kind of dry my mouth out a little and left a little bit of that cottony month like taste. I am glad to see them branch out a little and go with some other unique flavors rather than your normal chocolate and vanilla which are still good flavors but get boring after awhile.



This mixed up very nicely. The powder in this is very fine like. It had a nice rich and creamy smooth like texture to it when mixed. There was no left over chunks or anything that would stick to the bottom of your shaker cup. Always mixed up very nicely each and every time. I only use this as my post workout protein. I would do just one scoop each time. This could very easily be taken other times besides just post workout but that is when I preferred to take it. I could very easily see this being used when you are baking. I would love to try this flavor in with real blueberry muffin mix. I think this would really enhance the flavor of the blueberry muffins a lot more.





Effectiveness

I found this be a fairly decent protein powder for me. I feel it did everything I look for in a protein. This was very good on my stomach and never caused me any unwanted digestive or stomach issues. I do feel it helped take away a little bit of my appetite after I would take this which was nice if I knew I was not going to be able to eat any regular food for awhile after my workout. I never really noticed any unwanted bloating in my stomach from this. I think my overall recovery was very much improved. I know I felt a lot better after using this and would not feel as sore. I know my DOMs were a lot less noticeable which was nice. I figured with some of my harder more intense workouts I would be a lot more sore but that did not happen. I did still feel a little bit of soreness but it was way less than I normally get. Also I feel this helped me pack on a little more muscle mass and helped me more on my lifts because I was starting to lift a little heavier than I normally do and not hurt so much doing it and do it with a little more ease. This is a great product and is very easy for you to use to help you get your daily intake of protein if you are lacking on your daily protein intake. You get a nice 24g per serving and is at about the right amount you should get per serving. I like to get around 25g and 30g at max per serving. I think for the most part you will be really pleased with how well this will work for you.





Value

Right now Vaxxen Labs and Amazon are the only two places you can get this. Both of them want $36.99 for 28 servings. Maybe just a little high on price but for protein prices this is kind of the norm for them to be a little on the high side. I am not going to knock them to much for price because you are getting some good high quality protein. I would like to see them come out with a larger size tub so it will last you longer especially if your doing more than one scoop per day.





Side Effects

Nothing I noticed.





Conclusion

I really liked this protein powder a lot and found it to be very effective for me. I think they did a good job at making this protein powder and having it tasted good. Like I said above having these more unique flavors is nice to see and it's a plus that they taste good also. I know a lot of other companies have tried to make these flavors and don't always do a very good job at making them taste good. If your lacking in your daily protein intake I feel this a great product to help you with that. In general if you want to feel better and have your workouts go better for you I would highly recommend you give this a try. I know this would be a protein I would for sure use again. I would like to see them come out with a bigger size say like 5lb tub because if your taking more than one serving per day you will really go through this a lot faster. Again I want to give a big shout out to Vaxxen Labs for making this product and being so nice and sending me this also to try even though I did not claim it when it was on the trooper program and because of that I knew I had to do a review for this.

This stuff works like a charm. When used in combination with a low carbohydrate high fat diet, there is little if any hunger and the weight comes off. I lost 17 lbs in 30 days using this combination. I have had a lot of difficulty losing weight with other approaches, but this works wonderfully.

As an almost 40 year old athlete I it found it difficult to build & maintain muscle mass when strength & conditioning training at a high level. I'm very impressed with Vaxxen Labs - Axxis and it's helped me gain and maintain muscle mass during my intense training as a marathon runner. I've now ordered Axxis multiple times and it's really helped me improve my performance. So much so I'm competing at the highest level I ever have.

Great product, i was/am bulking at the time of starting Androxx. i went from 181lbs-193lbs in that 4 week cycle. muscles felt full all day long, great pumps, just overall loved what it did. stacked with PILLAR and DESCEND.

Only CON would be i had some slight heartburn, nothing a few tums didn't fix though.

I just finished my stack the other day! It's totally worth it! For me being the size and body type I am it's hard for me to put on weight ask Connor Wigren who I bought the stack through.

I went up 5 lbs in body weight and all my main lifts shot up in week 3. Bench went up 15 lbs. Military 20 lbs. Squat went up 25lbs and deadlift went up 50 lbs!! I will definitely be buying this again some time in the near future! Thanks again to Connor for considering this company and product!.

Just received the birthday cake flavored protein and I love it! Great protein to help you stay lean!

This has been an excellent stack for adding Lean Mass to my frame. Currently in Week # 3 and have consistently felt my strength increase. 51 years old (Grandpa Bod), and training intensity is through the roof. leaving the whipper snappers in my dust!



The Vaxxen Labs team is outstanding at answering questions, concerns and jsut providing information to help take things to the next level. Genuine concern, and a Great product!



Lift hard, live well.

So I tried the protein powders - delicious. Now I'm on day 6 of the Cinerate. Started with 1 a day and now up to 2. I feel great, easy on the stomach which I was concerned about, no jitters and no crash. Definitely getting me thru my 12 hour night shift and I'm not hungry. I was at stand still with my weight so I was very happy to see it start coming off again, dropped 3 pounds and excited to get back on the scale. Thanks, Connor and Brody for the suggestion!

No jitters

Most pre workouts give me energy but the caffeine makes me jittery and unfocused. I tried Fulcrum as a last resort to help make my workouts better and I'm happy I did. There is just the right amount of caffeine to help me focus and the energy boost is perfect and without the jitters.Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to work harder at the gym.

Super energy

I feel like I zoom through the workout on the days I remember to take Fulcrum. I get a burst of eneergy and it's awesome. I wish it came in different flavors so I could switch it up every day for something different but this does exactly what its supposed to do.

Best Preworkout Supplement

I have tried many preworkout supplements and I must say this is the best one out there. I 1 scoop right before my training and I feel stronger and have more energy. Unlike some others I've tried, I never crash after the workouts. I recommend Fulcrum 100%.

Just had the absolute pleasure of trying both flavors of the protein powders and let me tell you they are delicious! I mix mine with almond milk and it's a total treat. No after taste, no bloating and it mixes very well. I thought the company did an excellent job with packaging too - loved the colors and the professional labeling. Very excited to watch this company grow and even more excited for additional flavors to try!

I just received my first shipment of products which included WHEYXX Blueberry Muffin flavor. It's fantastic. It really is like drinking a blueberry muffin.

The product mixed perfectly in my shaker bottle. Can't wait to finish this and try the Birthday Cake flavor.

I don't know if it's the vitamins or the caffeine, but this stuff gets you going. I take it in the morning before I go to the gym and I definitely notice the difference in energy level. I don't love the taste, but it's not terrible. Looking forward to new flavors.
