Modern Warrior - Shock Wave Review

 


Once again in reviewing my Facebook page this product came across listed as "The #1 selling Pre Workokout on Amazon.  Of course in seeing this I had to investigate this further.

At first glance you can see this is a concetrate with a total weight of of 7 grams per serving. Little ligh for a Pre Workout in my opinion. Key word opinion.

Let's look at the Pro Energy Complex - 400 mgs with the brunt of it being 2 different types of caffeine. I will option to say this is most likely in the 300-325. Not light nor heavy by any means.

What baffles me a little is the Pro Pump Complex of 2375 mgs with the brunt being 2 forms of creatine, HCL and monohydrate. If you looked at my previous reviews, HCL is typically dosed at 1-3 gms (1000-3000 mgs) and creatine monohydrate being studied  at between 3-5 gms (3000-5000 mgs)  If we add the lower dosages we are already at 4000 mgs (1000 mgs HCL + 3000 mgs Monohydrate). 

Anyone else seeing the discrepency? Again all 5 of Shock Wave's ingredients = 2375 and I have not even factored Glycerol Monostereate which I generally see dosed anywhere from 500 mgs and some as high as 1500 mgs.

I did question this to one of MW's employees to which he responded "How many companies study the synergy between multiple ingredients that do essentially the same job". Great response as I understand synergistic effects of things where A+B can super charge the final product BUT I am almost guarantee that they are not doing "clinical trials" or even well defined user groups to effectively backup his statement.

In closing, will I be using this product? Surely not but as previously stated, I am all for people making money but is in a deceptive tactic that I have issues with.

Continued success and as always, thanks for reading.
