Why hasn't anyone questioned it? Spiked?

Reviews are too good for a formula which looks simple as f##k.

My mate is raving about it on 1 scoop, and he's taken every PWO around.
 
Do you think companys would still spike supplements? Ive personally never tried it so cant comment but i have question'd other supplements ive took recently. Ive heard Kraken is terrible for post workout depression though so i will stay away from it

Long time ago, like the original with HGW.

I'm going to cut out stims soon, it's just a cheap way for a company to make you feel like their rubbish product is actually doing something for you.

If I had 4-6 short blacks in a row, I'd get more of a stim effect than 75% of these PWOS.

PWO = money making, but in reality useless.

****, we all trained 10 years ago without them. I'm motivated enough to lift heavy. The current trend of 350-450mg of caffeine is just going to get it restricted in some way eventually.

Yeh its a ton of caffeine these days. I have used pre workouts that have gave me a better workout if im honest. Hydrazine gave me a better workout but like above the post workout depression was so severe for me. Like losing my job severe I flushed them. Soon as i stopped i returned to normal and never had that bad slump in mood. Dmaa doesnt give me anything these days ive tried the original jacked and now mesomorph and nothing special. Time for a stim break though. What are blacks?
 
No way is Kraken spiked. Aside from the fact I can't see them doing it, it's a good pre but nowhere near strong enough to justify that accusation.

And yes, I use it. Sour Gummy Bear is great.
 
Kraken doesnt work for me. I crash pretty bad with Kraken. I am not bashing the product. It works wonder for my partner. I noticed that i crash pretty bad for anything above 150mg dmha.

Works well for me. Never had a crash. But, if it does make you crash, stay away.

Ya, i gave it to my partner. He responded very well to Kraken. I tried 1/2 scoop + 200mg Caffeine tab and no crash. The focus was very good, to be honest.
 
Only used Kraken once when I received a sample but I really enjoyed it. Tunnel vision focus and endless energy. Literally trained for 2 hours and felt like I had been there for 45 minutes.

I didn't experience a crash that I remember. Note: this was my first experience with high stimmed pres
 
I've used it, and currently have a tub...It's nothing that hardcore. I guess if you're stim sensitive it might hit differently but there's nothing in it to suggest it's spiked on my end.

Well, for many of the tubs (they switched later) 1 scoop = 1 full serving.

It is an awesome pre workout. I love it. One of my favorites. I've used it probably about 15 times now judging by the amount left in my tub. BUT it's not a stim bomb, it's not super strong, it's just really good. Only 200mg of caffeine and you can probably tell that's all it has, it doesn't hit a lot of people particularly hard (myself included, it doesn't hit me that hard), but it is more than enough energy, very good pump, great focus, with a 'feel good' feeling, and it lasts awhile, it won't leave you hanging half or three quarters of the way through your session...a lot of reviews or websites refer to it as an uplifting slightly euphoric feeling...you just plain feel good and probably have a great workout (if nutrition and rest are good enough to support it of course, no pre is a miracle worker).

Sometimes I get a very, very minor crash (nothing like I used to get from OG jack3d crash), sometimes I don't. When I do it's of the "lemme just lie on the couch for 30 mins and I'll be G2G back at baseline" type.

You should try it.

But, again, don't expect it to smack you in the face or run you over like a Mack truck, it's not that kind of pre, it's not that strong, it is NOT a stim bomb as you note when you read the label. But it hits a sweet spot and just plain works.

(if you want it to run you over you'll need to go for something like a big time DMAA or Reign)
 
Kraken is made by hi tech pharm, there is no way on earth it's spiked, hi tech is under the microscope and they are the most legit manufacturer in this industry. kraken is my faivourite preworkout, I have used many including mesomorph, the latest Olympus labs regin, vein labs bloodshot with dmaa 1.3 and 1.4, dust extreem..... kraken has high dosage of DMHA and relatively low on caffeine 200mg...the result is endless feel good euphoria in the gym. It's not your typical high stim high, high rush, speeding heart rate....... , the energy is very smooth and it keeps getting better and better, kraken is the only pre that makes me feel high while lifting....
 
I have personally gone through 2 tubs of Kraken and have found it to be a good product overall.

My first dosage was a sample pack and it was a bit of a rush when everything hit primarily as it was my first time stepping out to a DMHA/DMAA pre-workout but I absolutely loved the focus and energy it gave me so I bought a few tubs.

What I have found (for me) is that it is great for the short hard hitting workouts as it does "burn out" for me shortly after an hour into a workout. I don't get any crash affect at all, just feel like it settles down after an hour, so it does not work best for any long days in the gym depending on what your routine is. Otherwise, the product is great IMO. Certainly do not use on a daily basis, but it is an active staple in my arsenal of pre-workouts that I go to when I need the extra oomph and don't plan on being in the gym for 2 hours.

Taste is decent (bombsicle & watermelon rancher) but the mix-ability could be slightly improved.
 
I think the nice thing about Kraken is they use solid doses of all the ingredients. It's not like a typical prop blend where they list 100 things and it's just a sprinkle of all of them plus 300mg of caffeine.

So maybe the reason you feel it's spiked is because it's got doses that actually do something in a preworkout.
 
I got a tub of bombsicle Kraken on the way... Wanted something to rotate with Mesomorph.
 
Love the Kraken! I get a minor crash afta but nothing like what i get from mesomorph. Its strong but definitely dont think its spiked.
 
kraken is an amazing pre. the euphoria i get from it is amazing as is the pump.. one of my favorite pwo's rn
