Taste
Krusherz – The flavor description from Olympus labs is this is an orange candy flavored product. Upon mixing the orange is very bright and the aroma of the product doesn’t give a distinct flavor of what to expect. The best way I can describe this flavor is a mix of an orange starburst and an orange soda. The flavor is not the strongest on the market, but Olympus Labs has never been known for top tier flavoring. This is definitely a step up from Conqu3r Unleashed, but nothing that going to taste like a pixie dusted pre-workout that thrives on a weak formula. Due to the ingredient makeup of the formula this is not going to be easy to flavor, but I have to admit Olympus Labs did take the time and effort to listen to their fans and improve on the past. After reading reviews on the other new flavors of Re1gn this seemed to be one of the better tasting options.

Mixability
Re1gn has a very light makeup to the powder. A few shakes and the powder dissolves with ease. There was a slight touch of foam after it was mixed that quickly went away. Each scoop is only 5g in weight, so it is not heavy, nor will it sink and sit at the bottom of your shaker. You should be able to blend this with ease in a blender bottle and have no clumps. I would suggest 8-10oz per scoop and in cold water to get the best taste out of the product.
Formula

A quick synopsis on the ingredients in Re1gn and what it provides:
5g Citrulline - Full dose for pumps, performance, and prevent lactic acid build up during training
Agmatine - Nutrient Partition / Pump agent
Pomegrante Powder - Antioxident helps improve endurance and aid pumps
Vaso 6 - A gallate-enhanced oligomer derived from GSE, containing only the peaks & fractions with the highest endothelium dependent relaxation (EDR) activity. Higher EDR activity leads to increased vasodilation & blood flow. OL calls it “Super epicatechin” because the peaks contain catechin & epicatechin molecules.
Caffeine - Stimulant
Eris Jarensis Extract - Enhances focus and has forms of PEA (Nootropic)
J. Regia: A powerful stim providing boost in energy and focus. We used a more potent extract than in CU.
Stim X - Increases focus and energy; synergistic with other stims in formula
Tasteless Theacrine - Increases focus & energy and elevates mood without feelings of anxiousness or crash. I would highlight it is the tasteless version and does not cause a build-up of tolerance
more potent extract than in CU.
Kanna Ease - Increase focus + mood
Astragin - Help nutrient and ingredient uptake

Workout Performance
Fasted:
Some mornings I train right out of bed. Wake up, took re1gn, and 15 minutes later I am in the gym and going through my warm-ups and then into my working sets. Re1gn does not take long to kick in, and it really leaves a mark for quite some time. A combination of the Eris Jarensis Extract, Stim X, Theanine, and Kanna Ease leave you with a sustained focus aspect that gives you tunnel vision. You just pound out sets and keep going and you really don't even realize the volume you can accumulate. After 10 working sets I found myself still going strong with no drop in performance or energy. With the combination of the pomegrante powder, vaso6 and astragin this leaves you with plenty of pumps agents to feel your skin harden during a training session. While the pumps were nothing that stood out, its always going to be that way when you train first thing upon waking with no food or carbs in your system. Let alone your water intake and sodium levels are low, which are two huge factors that can help lead to better pumps.
Fed:
Whenever I train in a fed state I like to give my pre-workout meal ample time to digest (90-120 minutes). Anytime I train with a stim i want it to hit hard, and the best way is to separate it as far as possible from food. 15 minutes prior to training re1gn was taken down, and then it takes me 10 minutes to get to the gym and about 10-15 minutes to get into my working sets. In a fed state re1gn does not hit as fast as a fasted workout, but it does seem like it lasts much smoother and longer from all the nootropic and cognitive enhancers in the product. Like I stated in a fasted workout that the pumps are nothing to rave over, it is a different story when you set yourself up for optimal training and get a decent chunk of carbs, sodium, and water in your system. Agmatine and citrulline are two well known ingredients that really help assist in this aspect of the product, as the astragin is the icing on the cake to help deliver this to your system to a faster degree. Overall I thought the 200ish (never took 2 scoops) mg of caffeine would be too much for me, but it really was smooth due to the theanine and other performance agents to help give a long sustained release of energy that never was overbearing or made me jittery.
Things to note
- No side effects of cold sweets, jitters, or shivers
- Energy is very long lasting and streaming both fed and fasted state
- Pumps were weaker in a fasted state, but that was fixed by adding HBCD Pre-workout and a dash of salt with 16-24oz of water .
- Overall very well rounded pre-workout and even not at a full 2 scoops can deliver 3+ hours of energy and really harden your muscles during training. Highly suggest!
