Is Encharge a stimulant?
Encharge contains Paraxanthine, the compound your body naturally converts caffeine into, so it does have stimulant-like activity. It's formulated for a smoother onset and offset than caffeine itself, which is why most people don't get the jitters or crash they associate with traditional pre-workout.
Will this show up on a drug test?
No. Encharge is NSF Certified for Sport, meaning every batch is independently tested against the full WADA prohibited substance list. No banned substances, no surprises.
How is this different from a cup of coffee?
Paraxanthine is the compound your body converts caffeine into after you drink it. Taking it directly, alongside Taurine to smooth the response, tends to produce steadier alertness with less jitteriness and less of a crash than an equivalent dose of caffeine.
When should I take it?
Most people take Encharge 20 to 30 minutes before training or competition. Because it doesn't carry the same crash risk as traditional pre-workout, some people also use it earlier in the day for focused work.
Can I take this with Headstrong?
Yes. Headstrong is a daily, non-stimulant foundational formula. Encharge is a fast-acting formula for training or competition days. Many people use both.
Is Encharge NSF Certified for Sport?
Yes. Every batch is independently tested by NSF, the same standard used by the NHL, NFL, and MLB. It's the highest third-party testing standard in the industry, so what's on the label is exactly what's in the bottle. This is needed for athletes but also important for non-athlete looking to make sure there are no heavy metals, molds or yeasts in their supplements.
Why doesn't Encharge give me the jitters like other pre-workouts?
Most pre-workouts overload you with high-dose caffeine, which spikes hard and crashes harder. Encharge uses Paraxanthine, the compound caffeine actually breaks down into in your body, paired with Taurine and L-Tyrosine to smooth the response. You get the alertness without the overstimulation or the crash.
