ACTIVATED (Pre-Workout)
★★★★★ 4.8 · 36 ReviewsBuilt to handle
every angle.
Activated isn't a stim-only pre-workout hoping you don't crash. Eight clinical actives stacked. 8g L-Citrulline for the pump, Betaine for power output, Taurine for cardiovascular support, Beta-Alanine for endurance buffering, L-Tyrosine for cognitive drive, Alpha GPC for sharper focus, and 200mg of caffeine from green tea paired 1:1 with L-Theanine. one scoop, one session, no jitters, no crash.
Pump That Hits
L-Citrulline 8g. Clinical NO threshold.
Calm-Focus Energy
Green Tea Caffeine 200mg + L-Theanine 200mg. 1:1 ratio.
Power + Endurance
Betaine 2.5g. Taurine 2g. Beta-Alanine 1.6g. Full performance stack.
Cognitive Drive
L-Tyrosine 1.5g + Alpha GPC 300mg (98%). Neurotransmitter fuel.
Hydration + Trace Minerals
Pink Himalayan Salt 200mg. 78mg sodium + 84 trace minerals.
Real Flavors. No Junk.
3 flavors. No sucralose, no artificial dyes.
Every ingredient.
Every dose. Shown.
No proprietary blends. No artificial sweeteners. Every active listed, every milligram accounted for. Read it, research it, hold us to it.
Amino · Pump + Blood Flow
L-Citrulline
8,000mg · Pure
The clinical NO threshold dose. L-Citrulline converts to L-Arginine in the kidneys (more efficient than supplementing arginine directly), driving nitric oxide synthesis. Result: vasodilation, increased blood flow, real pumps in the gym, and faster nutrient delivery to working muscles. 8g is the dose used in performance research. most pre-workouts ship 1 to 3g.
Power + Methylation
Betaine Anhydrous (TMG)
2,500mg · Trimethylglycine
Betaine (TMG) does two things at once. First, studies suggest support for power output and strength via osmolyte function in muscle cells. Second, it donates methyl groups for methylation cycle support. cellular energy, neurotransmitter synthesis, detoxification. 2.5g per serving is the dose used in performance research.
Amino · Cardiovascular + Recovery
Taurine
2,000mg · Pure
Amino acid with broad cardiovascular and athletic performance applications. Studies suggest support for endurance, cardiac function, and recovery. Also pairs with caffeine to smooth out the stim curve. 2g per scoop. the dose used in cardiovascular research, not the 500mg sprinkle in cheap pre-workouts.
Amino · Endurance Buffer
Beta-Alanine
1,600mg · Pure
The proven endurance dose. Beta-alanine binds with histidine to form carnosine, which buffers lactic acid in working muscles. The result: more reps before failure, longer sustained output, less burnout in the second half of a session. The tingle (paresthesia) is harmless and fades with consistent use.
Amino · Cognitive Drive
L-Tyrosine
1,500mg · Pure
Precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine. the catecholamines that drive motivation, focus, and reaction time. Studies on tyrosine suggest support for cognitive performance under stress, sleep deprivation, or fatigue. 1.5g is the upper-end research dose, not the 500mg sprinkle most pre-workouts use.
Stimulant · Energy
Caffeine (from Green Tea)
200mg · Green Tea Source
200mg of caffeine extracted from green tea leaf, not synthetic anhydrous. The dose where the science actually works without becoming the problem. Most pre-workouts pile on 300 to 400mg of synthetic caffeine, which spikes harder, crashes harder, and tolerance-builds faster. We dose at the proven research range, sourced from green tea, paired 1:1 with L-Theanine to smooth out the curve.
Amino · Calm Focus Pairing
L-Theanine
200mg · 99% Pure
The amino acid that makes green tea calming despite its caffeine. Paired 1:1 with caffeine, L-Theanine produces calm focus without the jitters or peak-and-crash. The most-studied nootropic stack in supplements. We use 99% pure L-isomer (not the cheap racemic mix).
Stimulant · Smooth Lift
Theobromine
100mg · Pure
The methylxanthine in cocoa that makes dark chocolate feel like a gentle lift. Theobromine is a milder, longer-acting stimulant than caffeine, with vasodilation effects that complement L-Citrulline for the pump. Smooths out the caffeine curve and extends the feel-good window without the spike.
Choline · Focus Sharpener
Alpha GPC (98%)
300mg · 98% Standardization
Alpha-GPC is the most bioavailable choline source. it crosses the blood-brain barrier and converts to acetylcholine. the neurotransmitter responsible for focus, learning, and mind-muscle connection. Studies suggest support for cognitive performance and even power output via increased motor unit recruitment. 98% pharmaceutical-grade standardization means 294mg pure Alpha-GPC per scoop. above the upper-range research dose.
Mineral · Hydration
Pink Himalayan Salt
200mg · 78mg Sodium
A real sodium dose for actual hydration during training. Pink Himalayan Salt also brings 84+ trace minerals as a bonus. Most pre-workouts skip electrolytes entirely. We add a meaningful dose so the pump and endurance compounds have the hydration to work with.
Nootropic · Focus Extender
Huperzine A
100mcg · 1% Standardization
Huperzine A is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It slows the breakdown of acetylcholine already elevated by Alpha GPC. the pairing extends the focus window and mind-muscle connection through the entire training session. Used at 100 to 200mcg in cognitive research. Sourced from Huperzia serrata, standardized to 1%.
Processing Aid · Clean Manufacturing
Nu-Flow
165mg · Organic Rice Hulls
Organic rice hull concentrate. Same machinery function as magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide, no synthetic excipients.

Day one to
month three.
Activated hits in 20 to 30 minutes. Caffeine + L-Theanine ramp focus without jitters. Citrulline opens up blood flow. Beta-alanine extends endurance. Here's how each scoop runs.
Energy ramps. Focus locks.
Caffeine, L-Theanine, and Theobromine kick in together. lift without spike, focus without jitter. You're warmed up before the warmup is over.
Pump opens up.
8g L-Citrulline opens vasodilation. blood flow surges. Pumps feel different by mid-set. Beta-Alanine starts buffering, Betaine boosts power output, sets get longer before failure.
No crash.
200mg caffeine + L-Theanine + Theobromine fades smoothly. no headache, no fog, no needing a second hit. The session ends and the rest of your day still runs.
Beta-alanine compounds.
Beta-alanine takes 2 to 4 weeks of daily use to fully saturate muscle carnosine stores. Once locked in, the endurance gains are real and persistent. The tingle fades, the gains stay.
See what you're
actually buying.
Most pre-workouts hide doses behind proprietary blends and load up on cheap caffeine. We don't. The numbers tell you what you're actually paying for. or what you're not.

Cheap supplements
are expensive.
Here's the math.
A $50 pre-workout with 350mg of caffeine and a hidden "performance blend" is more expensive than a $49 scoop of clean caffeine + L-Theanine + 3g Citrulline + 1.6g Beta-Alanine. You're paying for stim overload that crashes hard, instead of the calm-focus stack that actually performs. Cheap pre-workouts aren't cheap. They're just sneakier about what they're selling.
We dose at the levels used in published research. We standardize every active ingredient. We list every milligram on the label. There are no proprietary blends to hide behind, no fairy-dust micrograms designed to look impressive next to ingredients that actually work.
You can pay less for a bottle that doesn't do anything. Or you can pay what real doses actually cost. We don't blame anyone for the first choice. most people don't know the difference. But once you do, the math only goes one way.
Built different.
Held to it.
Zero Proprietary Blends. Ever.
Every dose is listed. Every ingredient is accountable. A proprietary blend is where brands hide underdosed ingredients behind a marketing name. We don't do that.
Clinical-Range Doses Only
We looked at the published research on every ingredient. We dosed at or near what the studies actually used. Not the minimum that lets us put it on the label. The dose that works.
Third-Party Lab Tested
Every batch is verified by an independent lab before it ships. Every dose listed, every milligram accounted for. Certificate of Analysis available on request.
Form Matters. We Chose the Best.
8,000mg L-Citrulline over the 3-6g most pre-workouts use. 2,500mg Betaine and 1,600mg Beta-Alanine at their full studied doses, not pixie dust. Real Alpha GPC at 300mg over generic choline. Caffeine paired with L-Theanine for clean focus, not the jitters. Every form decision was deliberate, not cheap.
No Added Fillers. Honest Carrier.
No magnesium stearate. No silicon dioxide. No artificial flow agents. Where our standardized extracts need a carrier to stabilize, we use a trace of maltodextrin, and we list it, because we list everything. Full disclosure. Nothing hidden in the small print.
"Most pre-workouts are 350mg caffeine bombs with sucralose and red dye. I wanted the full performance stack. 8g L-Citrulline, Betaine, Taurine, Beta-Alanine, L-Tyrosine, Alpha GPC, plus clean caffeine paired with L-Theanine. No proprietary blends. No fillers. No BS. This is the one I keep on my counter."
How to take
it.
Simple. Consistent. Daily.
1 scoop in 8 to 12oz cold water, 20 to 30 minutes before training or the start of your day. Don't take after 4pm unless you're a late-night trainer. caffeine timing matters.
Effects hit within 20 to 30 minutes. Energy lifts smoothly thanks to the L-Theanine pairing (no jitters). Pump and endurance follow in the first set or two. Beta-alanine tingle (paresthesia) is normal and harmless. it usually fades after a few weeks of consistent use.
Pregnant or nursing women, anyone under 18, anyone with caffeine sensitivity or heart conditions, and anyone on stimulant or blood pressure medications should consult a physician before use. Don't combine with other caffeine sources without checking total intake.

Before we launched as WOLV, we were HOWL. We sent Activated to our OGs first. People who actually train hard. These are their unedited reviews. No paid sponsorships. No filters. Verified customer reviews land here as orders ship.
Took a scoop, hit the gym, no shaky hands, no crash 2 hours later. Lift session felt sharp the whole way through. Hooked.
been a C4 guy for years. switched to this. cleaner energy, sharper focus, ingredients i can actually pronounce. ngl C4 feels like garbage now
Best pumps I've had in years. That Beta-Alanine tingle is no joke. Wife thinks I'm on something illegal. Nope, just a clean stack.
been with patrick since the howl days. the way the formulas have evolved is wild. this is the cleanest pre-workout he's done.
Strong stack. Followed the directions and started with half a scoop the first session to assess. Now I do three quarters for daily training, full scoop for serious sessions. Pace yourself the first week.
Mind-muscle connection is way better than my last pre-workout. PRs across the board after two weeks. I'm locked in on heavy lifts now.
Flavors don't taste fake. No food dye. No 47 ingredients I can't pronounce. Just clean performance.
Pre-workout is fantastic. Pricing is fair but a subscription discount would have me on auto-ship instantly.
Cardio days different. Sustained output, no crash an hour in. The L-Theanine takes the edge off without taking the lift.
The citrulline dose actually does what it's supposed to. Most pre-workouts sprinkle it in and call it a day. You can feel the pump on this one.
Solid stack. Hits hard. Take it before fasted cardio. The Alpha GPC means I don't crash during long sessions. Subscribed.

Honest answers.
No fine print.
When should I take Activated?
20 to 30 minutes before training, or first thing in the morning before a heavy work block. Don't take after 4pm unless you're a late-night trainer. caffeine timing matters for sleep.
Will it make me jittery?
No, for most users. The 1:1 caffeine + L-Theanine pairing is specifically designed to cancel the jitters and stim panic while keeping the focus and energy. If you're caffeine-sensitive, start with a half scoop.
What's the tingle from?
That's beta-alanine. It's called paresthesia. a temporary harmless skin tingle from beta-alanine binding to nerve endings. It usually peaks in the first 15 to 20 minutes and fades after 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use as your body adapts. Many users actually grow to like it as a session signal.
Can I take it daily?
Yes. The dose is designed for daily use without burnout. We dose caffeine moderately (200mg) so tolerance builds slowly. If you're sensitive or training only 3 days a week, you don't need to take it on rest days. Save it for sessions where you want the lift.
Can I stack it with other WOLV products?
Yes. Common stacks: Activated (pre-workout) + Beyond EAAs (intra-workout) + CR3ATINE (post-workout) is the full performance trio. Activated + Aware Wolf doubles up on cognitive support. just watch your total caffeine.
What sweetener?
Stevia (plant-based). No sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame, or artificial dyes. Naturally flavored.
What's your return policy?
30 days, no questions, no hassle. Even if the tub is half empty.
On.
Dialed.
8.2g of clinical doses. Green tea caffeine, real citrulline, real beta-alanine. Pre-workout. or pre-day. and the dropoff that usually comes with stims doesn't come.
