Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate is Nutrex's stab at the up and coming concentrated pre-workout.

Ingredient Profile: 9.2/10
The chief ingredients of the concentrated version of Hemo Rage are a 6,870mg blend of creatine monohydrate, L-arginine alpha ketoglutarate, Beta Alanine, Taurine, caffeine, dimethylamylamine, and huperzine. Though it is a blend so you can't distinguish the exact amounts, the effects feel like a balanced product with no over-stimulated feeling from caffeine which is a nice plus.

Effects/Endurance: 9.5/10
The thing that stood out the most to me is the mental focus. Unlike a few other pre-workouts that I have used, the stimulant balance is just right and doesn't give you that wired feeling, but more of a tunnel vision focus. Like many of the pre-workouts these days, the Beta Alanine gives the tingles, but after a few uses wears off. Obviously, to get the full effects of beta-alanine, it needs to be taken daily so you should supplement it separately. The endurance increase was noticeable, and there wasn't much of a post workout crash.

Taste: 7.9/10
The flavor that I got was Bruisin Berry, and it isn't award winning by any means, but it isn't bad either. This is to be expected with a concentrated pre-workout as the emphasis is on the formula and not the extras for flavoring. The performance more than makes up for the flavor.

Mixability 9.2/10:
The product mixed easily in water within a few shakes. The only small drawback is that a little bit of the product would settle, but a couple additional shakes takes care of it quickly.

Overall: 9.4/10
I was very pleased overall with the concentrated version of Hemo Rage, and have had some of my best workouts to date with it. Of course, just like any other pre-workout, you will start to adapt to its effects, so you need to make sure to cycle it and never go above the recommended dose, which in this case is one level scoop. It is well worth giving it a try if you are looking for a new-preworkout.

Over the course of my 10 years of lifting no pre-workout has been as potent and instant as this one. It not only boosts your energy levels immediately, it also allows you to maintain focus and assists with the reduction of lactic acid build-up for less fatique and soreness while lifting. It allows you to get the extra rep out of any set or the extra mile..which comes in handy when running Tough Mudders. I would be happy to answer an questions in full detail but I believe most of the specifics have been analyzed and posted on here already, so another 2 page review would be redundant. HEMO RAGE FTW!!! No questions asked... Plus.. All Star Health is having a crazy sale on it right now!!!

Okay first time I took this I was squatting like a machine. Took a full scoop and just brought destruction to the iron.
However, just brought another tub while DIETING and as I am at the smallest weight ive been in years one scoop is too much!
I stick to half a sccop nowadays.

Pump- not really
Engery- thorugh the roof
Crash- hell yeah
Focus- will defo shoot up

Best taken on an empty stomach and I got the
sucer punch flavour. Tastes like ass though.
Overall, I wudnt get another tub maybe just stik to servings.

Reccommend: Super pump 250

Forewarning: Literally puked 3 times before even getting into the gym from this product.

I purchased '90 servings' of Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate Bruisin' Berry flavor for $28.99 from Bodybuilding.com. My buddy ranted about this product being insane! Honestly, it is just loaded with DMAA and a ton of caffeine, giving you an insane energy boost only to crash horribly after whatever workout you can manage.

Pump 1/10 (non-existant): Did not notice any pump from this product. It says it has L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate but it is probably a tiny dose. Did not have any strength boost.

Energy and Focus (2/10): Too much 1,3 DMAA and Caffeine really made my head spin. I felt all psycho in my head and extremely dizzy. That is why I ended up puking before even making it to the gym a couple times. I always took this product after a very light meal or protein shake so it is not like I was on an empty stomach.

Taste (1/10): Bruisin' Berry was plan horrible. Maybe the other flavors are better and I know taste SHOULDN'T MATTER , but Hemo-Rage Ultra Concentrate is a good product to suck it up for the flavor.

Value (4/10): I'm really disappointed that Nutrex tried to pull this "Ultra-Concentrated" ploy by saying there is 90 servings. Each serving is supposed to be 1/3 a scoop. Taking 1/3 a scoop does nothing. So I ended up taking a full scoop by the third workout. The value is misleading and that is why I rate it so low.

Conclusion: Hemo-Rage is over-stimulated. You crash hard. You do not get good pumps. The serving size and servings per container is very misleading. Would not recommend this product. Especially not to anyone looking to workout for over 30 minutes. No sustained pumps or energy. Taste was very bad.

Fair and Honest,
GodofSerbia1

First and foremost: I tried a sample pack- LOVED IT (I was TWEAKING OUT!) which compelled me to buy the tub...waste of money...Not only did it not hit me AT ALL- it smashed my appetite. I only rated this product a generous 3 because its better than nothing...On a random note, the taste was ok. A lot of people hating on the flavor but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

Best overall pump I have had! Tastes great and mixes well. Keeps you focused through out your whole workout. It gave me tunnel vision while lifting and made me work hard. No crash and price isn't bad! Best pre-work out supplement!

So I went through a whole tub of hemorage concentrate a couple months ago. The workout and energy was amazing, the crash was absolutely unbearable. Every single one of my friends that would take it with me would either puke or be absolutely miserable comming down. Don't get me wrong, we got it in while we were working out and intensity was through the roof. That could have something to do with the reason we felt so bad post workout but I think the 1 3 dimeth is dosed too high

Ingredient profile
Sodium 40mg 2%
Chloride 16mg 1%

HEMO-RAGE BLACK ULTRA-CONCENTRATE PROPRIETARY BLEND 2,290mg
BEYOND EXTREME UNDERGROUND PRE-WORKOUT DETONATOR

Creatine Monohydrate
L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate
CarnoSyn Beta Alanine
Taurine
Caffeine Anhydrous
1,3 Dimethylamylamine
Huperzine A

In my opinion the L Arginine is probably dosed too low because I didn't get a pump whatsoever. The Caffeine and 1 3 I would guess would be around 300-400 mg caffeine and possibly upwards of 85 1 3 dimeth which is pretty potent. The package says take one scoop and never any more. That is some serious stuff because the stims are pretty potently dosed.

Taste 8/10
Bruisin berry was alright in taste, mixology was pretty good as well.

Workout Intensity from Stim Compounds
9/10
I had some great workouts but woudl never take this product again because of the insane burnout.

Pump 2/10
As I stated above, the pump was non existant for me with this product as I think the arginine is way underdosed.

Would I recommend it??
Depends how sensitive you are to stimulants. I persoanlly can handle 3 scoops of jack3d and this stuff burned every one of my friends out. For a great workout, I do reccomend this product but I feel like it messed with my head all day after taking it.

This is my favorite preworkout out of all that I've tried. I have tried at least 8-10 of them and liked this one the best so far. Gives me a good boost of energy and good pump. A bit of a crash with it, but to be expected with a preworkout.

Soo wanting to try a good energy based pre workout I gave this a try. Now I have sampled the original hemo rage a few times and have to say that it did ok. However I was younger when I first tried it, and much more lighter and less stim tolerant. Soo after being very satisfied with 1mr, I bought this. It was not all it was cracked out to be. Decent, but not as good as some others out there.


~Effectiveness (6.2 out of 10)~

The first time I took this I decided just to take one scoop. It was alright really. I had a mild energy and a decent pump. I was taking this in the morning because I was doing two a days at the time. In the morning I did a circuit workou and abs soo I really wasn't going for a good pump. I got some good beta alanine tickles and it did keep my endurance high. For what I used it as it worked perfectly. For me the energy didn't last long. About a little over an hour. The crash was mild, and usually took a nap after my workout so I didn't mind. On an empty stomach it kicked in pretty quickly. About 20 mins and I could feel it. Towards the end of the bottle i bumped up the servings to 2 scoops. Honestly I couldn't tell much of a differene. Made me sweat really hard I remember. The reason I gave this such a low score is because from what I would want and expect out of a pre workout this did not do all that good for what I would need. It worked out for me, because it fit my needs for morning crossfit.


~Price (10 out of 10)~

I think I got this off of discountsupplements.com for like 25 bucks. Now the bottle says 90 servings because they say 1/3 a scoop is a serving, but really its a full 30 scoops. So a serving is not even a dollar. aka thats pretty cheap.


~Taste (7.2 out of 10)~

This stuff had a bit of an odd taste to it. It sure didn't taste as good as it smelled. To me it smelled like, well good. I had the "sucker" punch flavor. For some reason the taste reminded me of cheap parfume. You know the type that comes in really big bottles? But the smell actually was a pleasent fruity smell. Not something that you have to choke down, but not something I would want to drink on my own.

~DoSaGe~

Going to depend on how much you weigh and how much stims your use to. Like I said the bottle says 1/3 scoop is a serving. Well.. if your like me thats not going to do jack squat. Soo try experimenting with what works for you.

~SiDe NoTe~

The girl I was dating at the time use to hit the gym with me in the mornings. She did cardio and her little workout. She would always be tired and want to go get a red bull or monster or something. So one day I talked her into taking this. I gave her a half scoop. Now keep in mind she was a pretty big girl. She was 5 11 and weighed about 160. Half a scoop had her up and running off walls. She would go to school right after the gym and told me she would be all stupid and full of energy. Then the beginning of 2nd hour she would pass out completely. So for her it worked, but the crash was bad. And she stayed with half a scoop the whole time. Soo just goes to show what might not work for someone works great for someone else.


~Overall (7.44 out of 10)~

It was super cheap, and it did what I needed. For my regular workouts this would not be able to cut it. If was one to buy it, I would reccomened supplementing a good no2 product along side it since its pretty much geared towards energy. I know it does work for some people, but it just didn't impress me as much as I was wanting it to do.

Hello everybody, this is my first review that I am posting here on SupplementReviews.com. I will be reviewing the last and most recent pre-workout supplement that I personally used which was a product produced by the company Nutrex, by the name of Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate. I intend on making this review as straight to the point and as helpful and useful to everyone. So please leave me feedback on the formatting of my review and any comments or changes you’d make to my review and of course any comments or personal experiences with this product.

Product Briefing:
- Type of Supplement: Pre-Workout
- Company: Nutrex
- Product: Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate
- Flavors: Bruisin’ Berry, Lunatic Lemonade, Malicious Melon, Orange Creamation, Sucker Punch
- Serving Size: 1 Scoop (9.75g)
- Servings per Container: 30

Price:
I purchased this product at a GNC when it was a “Hot-Buy” item for $29.99. As far as prices go this product is on the lower end of the pre-workout pricing spectrum. At $29.99 in stores, and as low as $17.00 at a quick glance online, this product is more than reasonably priced when it comes to supplements.

Container/Label:
Although the container/label really has no effect on the consumption, effect and results of the product, I figured why not through it in the review as well. There are a couple things that I look for on a label in particular that I did not find and was not particularly happy about and that is the absents of percent values and measurement weights of each individual ingredient. In particular I would like to now the mg value of caffeine that I am taking when I take a supplement; this is lacking on many supplements on the market today. Everything is masked these days by the all to familiar “proprietary blend” weight.
On a more positive note, the container size is nice and compact and easily fits into any gym bag. The label design is relatively attractive…I guess, but then again that is a whole aspect that is solely opinion based and therefore has no great effect on this review or the product itself… Unless we are talking about sales aspects… but I doubt any of use here would be concerned with that. Lastly I found the Warning on the label a little bit over the top and somewhat silly sounding but hey every company needs to cover their butts, unfortunately we live in quite a litigious society.

Taste/Serving Size:
As far as flavors, I personally used both Bruisin’ Berry, and Sucker Punch. Before I state anything about the taste of this product, I must and feel obligated to state that taste is the very last thing I am personally concerned with when it comes to any supplement. I personally am 99% more about the effects and results than about the taste.
Now with that being said, I was not a fan of either flavor. Both flavors left quite a bad after taste in my mouth and more importantly in my shaker cup. This was easily solved by rinsing the shaker cup out after, which I use for water during my workouts anyway, and getting rid of the after taste left in my mouth was solved by drinking some water right after. The taste its self was actually not as sweet as I thought it would be after seeing the bright colored liquid that was produced after mixing the powder in the water. The worst part about the taste of this supplement to me was a chalky almost milks texture and taste that the mixture produced.
The whole negative aspect of the taste was not the biggest problem due to the serving size and water to powder ratio. The serving size is 1 Scoop (9.75g) to 4-5oz of water. This produced a small mixture that was very quick to drink compared to some other pre-workouts on the market where you end up having to drink a full shakers cup worth of liquid prior to working out.

Ingredients:
As far as the ingredient list goes, Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate seemed to be quite the standard as far as pre-workouts go. You have your standard Creatine Monohydrate, for some that may be a plus for others that have a weaker stomach this may upset your stomach a little bit.
Then as far as vasodilators and “Nitric oxide inhibitors,” (they are just precursors), go you have l-arginine alpha ketoglutarate, and their carno syn beta-alanine. I am not surprised with these two choices for vasodilators/nitric-oxide inhibitors however I am surprised that they decided to go with l-arginine as apposed to l-citrulline, which is more frequently scene in newer pre-workout supplements on the market today.
Then for the energy boost (Stimulants) they used Taurine, Caffeine Anhydrous (again they do not list mg of caffeine), and methylhexaneamine. Note: certain doses of methylhexaneamine have been considered banned within NCAA and other similar sports guidelines.
I am also surprised that there aren’t any other natural and or herbal ingredients such as yohimbe, panax ginseng, and guarana as apposed to or in addition to the taurine.
Now, the ingredient that actually drew my attention to this product in the first place; Huperzine A. “Huperzine A is used for Alzheimer's disease, memory and learning enhancement, and age-related memory impairment. It is also used for treating a muscle disease called myasthenia gravis, for increasing alertness and energy, and for protecting against agents that damage the nerves such as nerve gases.”(WebMD) The effects of Huperzine A, most specifically, the increased alertness, energy, and neural health properties have been used in traditional eastern homeopathic ADHD medications and other medicines along those lines.

Experienced Effects:
The effects that I experienced from this supplement were very mild to almost nonexistent at times. The first couple of times I used this product, I followed the exact directions and felt almost no extra pump, energy, alertness or focus. I then tried altering the directions to see if experimenting with different methods would help me get a bit more of a kick out of it.
First I changed the timing I took the dose from the recommended half an hour prior to 5 min prior. I felt a slight increase in energy but not much. I the tried doubling the does to two scoops per 6 oz water, (Disclaimer: DO NOT TRY, THIS WAS COMPLETELY AGAINST THE WARNING ON THE LABEL); I still did not feel much of a change. One of the biggest things that was missing to me was that/rush of energy that is delivered by a proper pre-workout supplement. I was hoping for and expecting for that “Tingling feeling” similar to paresthesia, that is commonly experienced with high doses of L-Arginine.
On multiple occasions I felt as though this supplement made me bloated during the beginning of my workout and sometimes lasted all the way throughout. I did not feel any amped up feelings and my pumps felt as they do without a pre-workout supplement.
This product was tested during a time period where my target goals where more so mass building rather than endurance, toning or strength training. Each workout began with 5 min on an elliptical, then workouts consisted of specific target muscle groups using 5 for 5 rep to set ratio set or 10,8,6,4,2 rep sets, for workouts lasting around an hour +/- 15min.

Overall Rating:
Overall, I was very dissatisfied with this product and most likely will not be using it ever again. In addition to a very weak chalky taste, I found the product to have very little effect if any effect at all.
- Strength: No notable strength increase
- Pumps/Muscle swelling: No noted difference at all
- Endurance/Stamina: No notable endurance increase, some workouts I felt as though I was actually burning out quicker
- Energy: Almost a zero on energy increase
- Focus: No notable increase with focus

I gave this product a maybe as far as recommendations go because I believe everyone reacts differently to different products and I also do not regret trying any product despite the effectiveness of the product. I have a passion for fitness and an incredible interest in supplements and like trying everything to see what’s out there and I recommend everybody that is as passionate as I am to do the same.
Hopefully this review was informational and relatively helpful for all. Again I ask, please leave me feedback on the formatting of my review and any comments or changes you’d make to my review and of course any comments or personal experiences with this product.
