ANS Diablo Review

'ANS Diablo Review  ANS Performance website

Would first like to say thank you to Sam of the Facebook group The Lockerroom II for sending me a sample of Diablo as this is a company I have been looking forward to trying based on others reviews.

So as always will get the negative out of the way.

This was a 2 serving packet, which I think is great on behalf of supplement companies but no matter how hard I try to equally measure out 2 servings, it was never works out.

Diablo is a “semi” prop blend. What I mean by this is some ingredients are fully disclosed by dosage while others are listed as a “Diablo Inferno Complex” As always I respect prop blends, would like to see full disclosure but since I am stim sensitive, would at least like to see the full caffeine content.

Flavor, Mix ability, Taste

Pineapple Passion Fruit – let me first say that by just seeing this flavor, I was excited. In my opinion, and again my opinion, the fruit punches, Blue Raspberry etc are getting a little played out. I know these are sometimes the best choices to mask some of the ingredients flavors but nice to see something new.

In my best effort, I tried to divide the packet into 2 servings, mixing 1 serving in 20 oz of water with a wire whisk shaker ball. Flavor was very muted, as to be expected with 20 oz’s of water but the hint of flavor I was able to detect was very nice, pineapple shining through a little more than the passion fruit. I know many are anti pineapple but I personally love this fruit for its overall health effects.

Energy, Focus, Burn

So after slamming my shaker bottle waited 20 minutes then 30 minutes, not really feeling anything, jitters, tingles, head sensations so I decided to hit the treadmill. My basement where I workout is kept at 55 degrees, the frugal person in me keeps it here, why spend money on oil heating a room where no one is. When I have company then the heat goes on. Sorry I digress……basically if a thermos is good, I will start to sweat anywhere between the 10-12 minutes mark. At about 12 mins I started feeling slightly warm but not on fire or sweating like some of the others out there like a Level II by Formutech or Stimaholic by Genomyx.After about 20 minutes, moved onto the weights.

Was not sweating but did feel a nice focus/euphoria and powered through my workouts very nicely.

Assessment:

Again being a prop blend it is hard to assess the overall caffeine content but I would put this at about 150 mgs- ish. My tolerance is about 175-200 to feel good without “tweaking” In my opinion, I might actually put this as a nootropic but again hard to assess from trying to divide a packet. I did use the 2^nd serving the next day and had pretty much the same effects.

For me, the verdict is out as to pro or con. Would like the opportunity to dose perhaps 1 ½- 2 servings to see the true thermos effect is there is one.

Again thank you for the opportunity.
