Medi-Evil Berserker

 

Overview

Here is what Medi-Evil have to say:

Inspired by the legendary warfare fury of the Norse Vikings. Medi-Evil Berserker was forged on the gym battlefields, and contains one of the largest profiles of the  highest quality active ingredients in a product of its kind.

Medi-Evil Berserker is formulated so as not to give the nasty jitters or post-workout crash associated with most pre-workouts.

Medi-Evil Berserker has in huge abundance innovative ingredients such as Vinitrox, Beetroot extract, Glycerol monostearate and BCAA’s in its market leading blend  which mixes easily with water and tastes great.

This great tasting pre – workout comes in two flavours:- Blood Orange and Wild Berry

Nutritional Information

Medi-Evil’s thoughtful approach to a pre-workout really ups the game with whats expected from a Pre. Along with the now standard Creatine, BCAAs, Caffeine, Beta-Alanine & Arginine we have several components that are a bit more unusual.

Beetroot Extract – improves oxygen delivery and helps with muscle pumps

Glycerol – helps with muscle pumps

Panax Ginseng – mood enhancer & testosterone booster

ViNitrox is what sets Berserker apart from other preworkouts. It is a unique and proprietary synergistic combination of apple and grape polyphenols. It offers a number of exceptional sports nutrition properties including enhanced and lasting performance. Nexira’s latest clinical study (See ViNitrox website) on 50 athletes, 25-45 years old, demonstrated that under intensive effort, 500 mg/day of ViNitrox improves physical capabilities :

Increases physical training time by 10%

Delays the fatigue barrier by 13%

Taste

We’ve used both flavours (Wild Berry & Blood Orange) and Wild Berry was the preferred option – this is obviously personal choice – both flavours are acceptable. No preworkout tastes brilliant but Berserker does mix well and doesn’t have an aftertaste.

Side Effects

None

Price

£39.99 for a 300g bag (50 servings or 25 if you use a double dose)

Results

Medi-Evil claim that Berserker won’t give you jitters or an energy crash but will help you in the gym. Well mission accomplished. None of our team had any jitters and we experienced no energy crashes after the product wore off….in fact we didn’t have any side effects full stop. Side effects can be a bit of a worry with preworkouts so it’s always a relief when they turn out to be completely safe – especially when dealing with a brand new to the market product. The caffeine content in preworkouts is predominantly to blame for the energy crash that some experience after a strong pre but due to Berserkers fairly modest 150mg per serving you are very unlikely to fall asleep at your desk a couple of hours later.

Berserker doesn’t deliver an energy rush but rather a sustained feeling of “you can do this” and you don’t feel it wearing off after 30 minutes. It lasts about a hour before slowly tapering off. The pumps are fairly good, not mind blowing but definitely present and noticeable. I think that endurance is the stand out quality of Berserker – you can almost always add 2 or 3 more reps per lift, even on heavier work.

The value for money depends on whether you use 1 scoop or 2 so that’s a decision you’ll have to make. I found 1 scoop a little weak, but I am fairly tolerant to preworkouts, 2 scoops did the job nicely, I was never tempted to up the dosage.

Berserker sets out to be a different breed of preworkout one with no side effects without compromising on the quality of the product. They certainly succeeded. Berserker is an exceptionally well made product that is sure to help you in the gym. 8.5/10
