The pre-workout that doesn't wreck your afternoon.
225mg clean caffeine + 250mg Lion's Mane for laser focus without the crash. Zero artificial dyes. Zero sugar. Just results.
If you've quit pre-workout, you're not alone.
Most pre-workouts are designed for one type of person, and it's not you.
The 350mg caffeine bomb
Cheap caffeine anhydrous spikes your heart rate, then drops you off a cliff at 2pm.
The pre-workout that wrecks your sleep
You can't take it after 1pm without lying in bed at midnight wondering why you bothered.
The post-gym fog
You finish your workout sharp, then can't form a sentence by 4pm. There's a better way.
Built around Lion's Mane.
Most pre-workouts dump 350mg of cheap caffeine on you and call it a day. We started with the question: what would actually make a workout feel better, and last past the gym?
The answer: 250mg Lion's Mane for cognitive clarity, L-Theanine to smooth the caffeine curve, and 225mg of clean, food-based caffeine - enough to light you up, not enough to wreck your afternoon.
Take it at 4:30pm. Still sleep at 10. That's the standard.
Strawberry Bifrost.
Color comes from beetroot powder, not red dye. No sugar. No artificial sweetener bomb. The drink doesn't taste like medicine, because the flavor wasn't an afterthought.

★★★★★"Product tastes great! No crash or lethargy down the road. Helps get me through my day / my gaming session / my workout. Can't wait to get to the next shaker full of Ragnarok!"
- Neil, Verified Buyer
★★★★★"One of my favorite pre workouts. Keeps me locked it for my workout and no crash afterwards! The perfect blend!!"
- Samantha Iannelli, Verified Buyer
★★★★★"This stuff works and no mid workout crash! Other pre workouts I have used work but get me a little too amped up and mid work out I feel like I get flat. But ragnarok keeps me alert and consistent the whole workout even into my cardio session and let's face it who likes cardio lol. Being a power lifter my lifts in heavy days takes longer and more time between sets and this stuff has helped big time!"

Your first 90 days on Ragnarok.
This isn't a one-off tub. It's a regimen. Here's how it lands.
-
Day 1
The first scoop.
20-min onsetFocus locks in inside 20 minutes. The pump rolls in around the 30-minute mark, citrulline doing its job. No racing heart, no tunnel-vision wired feeling. Smooth lift, sharper head.
-
Week 2
Beta-alanine saturates.
Carnosine fully onlineYour carnosine buffer is fully online. Last sets get easier. Workouts stop ending at the same RPE every time, and you find yourself pushing one more rep without thinking.
-
Day 30
Cognitive lift kicks in.
Full clinical exposureLion's Mane and CDP Choline reach full clinical exposure. Most lifters describe it as "the focus from coffee, without the come-down." You start reaching for it before deep work, not just the gym.

Questions caffeine-sensitive lifters ask us.
I get heart palpitations from regular pre-workout. Is Ragnarok different?
Most pre-workouts use 300–400mg of caffeine anhydrous, which spikes your blood plasma caffeine levels in about 45 minutes. Ragnarok uses 225mg of food-based caffeine plus a sustained-release form, total caffeine is lower, and the release curve is gentler. Customers who specifically can't tolerate caffeine anhydrous report tolerating Ragnarok well, but if you've had a cardiologist tell you to avoid stimulants entirely, please check with them first.
Will I still feel something? I don't want a "zero stim" product.
You'll feel it. 225mg is real caffeine, about the same as 2.5 strong cups of coffee. The L-Theanine smooths the curve so it feels like dialed-in focus rather than chemical adrenaline. Most people describe it as "the energy I wish coffee gave me."
Can I take this before work, not just the gym?
Yes, many of our customers do. The Lion's Mane and L-Theanine make Ragnarok work as a focus drink for deep work, study sessions, or long drives. Just dose at the same time you'd normally have coffee.
What's the latest in the day I can take it?
225mg of caffeine has a half-life of ~5 hours, so we suggest cutting off about 6 hours before bed. Many customers take it as late as 4–5pm without sleep issues, but everyone metabolizes caffeine differently.
Does the beta-alanine make me itch?
Beta-alanine causes mild "tingles" (paresthesia) in some people at clinical doses. The sensation is harmless and fades in 20-30 minutes. If you're sensitive, take Ragnarok with food, it minimizes the effect significantly.
Smooth energy. Sharp focus. Zero crash.
