Cognizine is much more expensive. It's a licensed ingredient. I'm glad they went with licensed ingredients. Yes they could have gone with more ingredients, but more ingredients doesn't always mean better.
Katana has extremely good feedback. From people who have actually ran the product. It has a lot of repeat buyers. Repeat buyers because they enjoyed the workouts from it.
I'm smelling a jealous competitor here and the stench is coming from redman.
i don't care about Money, i gave companies ideas for formulas for free. my first preworkout sold 150 Units in one Weekend in one shop during presale. my products are not in the american market and katana is not a competitor to my product in Germany, so where would the jealousy be?
i made the products to give People the best they can get, not for Money. thats why i get an extremely small Profit per unit. but the amount that will be sold will give me a good wage to live on and that is all i care about.
i say when products are good. Omega burn24 is a great product, hard to beat. sns inhibit-e is a great formula at a great Price.
as for effectivity the best preworkout so far before mine was nutraclipses alphadrive for feel and f5 is good for strength gains.
secretabridge helped me heal some acute injuries in days.
besides that, especially in the preworkout category, i see mostly crap. other categories are different. there are a few good nutrient paritioners for example and also a few decent fatburners.
my favourite pre before the dmaa ban was maximize intense. craze didn't hold a candle to it for me. too serotonergic without much other effects so no drive or strength gains. my current formula outperforms craze and it is probably on par with a few others in the Performance department, but those others have "secret ingredients". you know what i mean. mine is healthier though and will improve many aspects of health as opposed to stuff that makes you Train like mad for 2 hours and then not sleep all night.
i am not jealous at all. when i saw conquer i wrote to ray and said thanks for making such a nice product in such a Money greedy industry. i only think you should have used less cholinergics. as it turns out many People feel it doesn't provide them with a kick and makes them drowsy but the non stims are the best i have seen.
it is actually almost equal to a formula i once made for fun, only mine had added forms of carnitine, ubiquinol, chocamine, dlpa, tmg and Grape seed extract. no glycerol though or any cholinergics.
Feedback was rep increases from 6-12 in one workout, strength increases by 40 Pounds, Feeling like Walking on clouds etc.
unfortunately it would be too expensive to produce.
