What is God of Rage?

God of Rage is one of a line of pre workout supplements made be Centurion Labz.

They make several different products to make sure they cover everybody’s different needs.

God of Rage is for guys who want to stretch intensity to it’s breaking point, then push just a little further.

You’ll see what I mean when we talk about the formula.

Who is Centurion Labz

This company was formed in 2014 when Dr Joe Kepko and Dr Nick Puccio decided to expand their practice to include health and fitness lifestyle supplements.

They brought their knowledge of what ingredients at what doses would help actual people reach their highest goals.

According to their website, they chose the name Centurion Labz to represent the hard work and discipline required to really achieve greatness.Their supplement names follow the same theme of ancient Greco-Roman warrior terminology.

As doctors, their plan is to incorporate solid health and fitness education into their brand, creating a community of hard charging athletes and enthusiasts.

God of Rage Ingredients

God of Rage is a hard charging pre workout supplement, and they warn you right up front that this is not for the casual gym goer.

This stuff will max you out in terms of stimulants and strength, and you want to know that going in.

To that end, let’s discuss the ingredients.

When you look at the backbone of the formula, you’ll see where the priorities are set, and it looks like they got it right.

There’s:

• Creatine Monohydrate (3 grams): This is the most popular and most tested form of creatine available, and 3 grams is a good solid daily dose, not the highest but high enough.
  
  Creatine allows energy and power to be stored within muscles, so it’s there when you call on it.
  
  Using creatine, you’ll be able to push more weight and build bigger muscles faster.
• L-Arginine (3 grams): This is a precursor to nitric oxide, the vasodilator.
  
  More l-arginine means more nitric oxide, which means wider, more relaxed blood vessel walls, allowing an increased amount of blood to flow through your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your hard working muscles.
  
  It also increases that vascular look you want when you hit the gym. 3 grams is again a good solid effective dose that you’ll notice when you’re using it.
• Beta Alanine (2.5 grams): This gives your muscles more endurance during your workouts.
  
  Your muscles start to give out and give up when lactic acid builds up to a certain degree.
  
  Beta Alanine slows that buildup and lowers the pH in your muscles, so that fatigue is staved off till later, ideally when you’re workout is done. (link to study of beta alanine and soccer players).
  
  Recommended daily doses of beta alanine vary, but 2.5 grams is well within that recommended range.
  
  One thing you want to note with beta alanine is the tingly skin feeling it gives.
  
  I get questions from guys all the time about whether that’s normal or if they should be worried. Nope, it’s normal.
  
  Some guys like the feeling, some can’t stand it.
  
  Most guys welcome it once they know what it is because it’s how they know it’s working.l
• Agmatine Sulfate (1 gram): This is something of an all-around supporter of health, wellness, and strength. It helps alleviate stress. It improves mood and brain function.
  
  It increases nitric oxide production for better circulation.
  
  It increases insulin uptake so your body handles glucose better.
  
  It may increase the production and release of Human Growth Hormone.
  
  Most dosage recommendations land in the 500mg-1g range so God of Rage contains a good dose.

The rest of the core ingredients are stimulants:

• Caffeine (300mg): This is a pretty hefty dose equal to about 4 cups of coffee.
  
  If you’re not used to caffeine or you’re sensitive, this is probably going to be too much for you right away.
  
  But if you do well with caffeine, it’ll give you tons of quick energy while it ignites your metabolism, fat burning, and focus.
• Theobromine (200mg): This is similar to caffeine, but milder, and it comes on slower and lasts longer.
  
  It is recommended that you not exceed a daily dose of 500mg, so the dose in God of Rage falls well within that range.
• Synephrine (65mg): This is also known as Bitter Orange or Citrus Aurantum.
  
  It is commonly thought to be the closest compound resembling Ephedrine after it got banned.
  
  It’s a powerful stimulant/fat burner, with recommended doses of 10-20 mg three times a day or 50 mg once a day.
  
  The dose in God of Rage is therefore a little high.
  
  This is concerning since it’s one of 4 stimulants, and there’s belief that combining caffeine with synephrine may be hazardous.
• Yohimbine HCL (2mg): This is the last stimulant and at least as controversial. Yohimbe works.
  
  It’s a central nervous system stimulant and it simulates the effect of a rush of adrenaline while increasing your heart rate and blood pressure.
  
  In low doses, however, it may actually lower your blood pressure by opening up blood vessels.
  
  The 2 mg dosage falls in line with the standard recommendation guidelines I’ve seen.
• 1,3-Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) (60mg): This is a powerful stimulant also thought to be the replacement for Ephendrine, but it can give you a false positive for amphetamines on a drug test, and it’s banned in the US, sort of.
  
  Some companies still use it in their products, citing a loophole where the FDA didn’t ban it outright.

Now, that’s a long and comprehensive list, and it’s not even the whole formula.

There are other supporting ingredients including:

• Vitamins C, D, B6, and B12 for energy and immune support.
• Higenamine which is a fat burner.
• Mucuna Pruriens which can increase the release of Dopamine for a bit of feel-good euphoria.
• Hordenine which can suppress your appetite and improve your mood.

How to Use God of Rage

The recommended dose of God of Rage for beginners is 1 scoop mixed with water about 30 minutes before your workout.

They say “for the truly hardcore” you can use 2 scoops. If you ask me, this would be crazy.

The dosages of already high with one scoop. 2 scoops is 600mg of caffeine in one shot.

You’d be hitting the ceiling with that kind of dosing, not to mention that there are 4 other powerful stimulants at double doses added on. No way.

My recommendation would be to start with half a scoop, assess your tolerance, and end up at 1 scoop when you’re ready.

Any more than that would be crazy.

God of Rage Customer Feedback

There are a decent number of customer reviews you can find online because the God of Rage is sold through a few different online retailers.

After study up on the formula, I wasn’t surprised at all to read about how jacked and full of energy guys get when they use it.

The thing that did surprise me, though, was the lack of talk about side effects.

There’s no two ways about it.

If God of Rage contains what it says it does, then this stuff is strong.

Each of the stimulants in the formula on its own packs a punch.

And there are FIVE of them, all at, near, or even above clinical dosing.

It’s hard to imagine that more people aren’t getting too amped up on this.

Here’s are a few examples of feedback from guys who loved God of Rage:

One thing I noticed is that people don’t seem to love the flavor.

The majority say it’s tolerable, or “good considering” all the different ingredients that have to fit into a scoop.

So if you try it, don’t expect to be blown away by the taste.

I did find a few people wanting to talk about having had a bad experience with God of Rage.

Here’s one from the same retail site as the above reviews:

I also noticed some similar talk on Reddit.

A guy asked if anyone had heard of Centurion Labz.

The first response was:

So the reports of negative reactions are out there.

They’re just not easy to find.

God of Rage Side Effects

Let’s talk about that potential for negative side effects for a minute.

The biggest issue is that God of Rage contains a lot of stimulants, and each one is at a pretty high dose.

Caffeine is generally well tolerated, but at 300mg, lots of people will be bouncing off the walls and feeling a little uncomfortable.

Synephrine is one of those stimulants that flirts with being banned every so often. It can make your heart race, and it’s been determined to be particularly dangerous when taken along with caffeine, which of course God of Rage also has.

Yohimbine is well known to be pretty heavy on the side effects it can cause.

If you’re a healthy young guy, they’ll probably be mild, but we’re talking about things like nervousness, irritability, headache, skin flushing, nausea, dizziness, sweating, heart palpitations, and anxiety.

If you’ve got blood pressure or heart issues, or if you take Yohimbine in high doses, your situation could be much worse.

It’s been known to cause a severe drop in blood pressure, kidney failure, and heart problems.

At this point, Yohimbe is banned in several countries, but it’s legal in the US.

The FDA has issued a formal recommendation not to use it, but they haven’t outright banned it.

DMAA side effects include heart attack, psychiatric disorders, and central nervous system issues.

On top of being a powerful stimulant, DMAA is also a vasoconstrictor, so it increases blood pressure.

So that’s a lot of stimulants, each individually known to potentially cause side effects, and they put them all together in God of Rage.

I gotta say, this stuff is pretty intense.

Drug Testing

With all these stimulants, I wasn’t too surprised when I saw on the Bodybuilding.com forums that a guy popped positive for amphetamines on his drug screen. Now, I don’t know this guy from Adam, but I have no reason to think he’s lying either.

So if you get tested for your job, be careful with this stuff.

Where to Buy

If you want to get your hands of some God of Rage, you’ll have to buy it online, but there are several retailers that carry it.

If you do a quick Google search, you’ll find them. Prices vary somewhat.

I’ve seen the 33 serving tub selling for as little as $35 and as much as $50 so shop around.

God of Rage Pros and Cons

Advantages of God of Rage

• It provides sick energy.
• It comes in several flavors.

Disadvantages of God of Rage

• It may pop positive for amphetamines on a drug test.
• It’s very stimulant-heavy, to the point where it could be too much, or even dangerous for some who use it.
• People don’t love the flavor – it’s not bad, but it’s not great either.

Conclusion

There’s no question God of Rage is hard-charging.This stuff is not for the faint of heart and it’s not for anyone who gets buzzed off a little bit of caffeine.

With that being said, it may have less pronounced results if you have a caffeine tolerance or are a regular caffeine user.

If you do choose to use it, I’d strongly recommend you start with a half, or possibly even a quarter dose to assess your body’s response before building up to more.

If you like stimulant-heavy pre-workouts, this could be for you.

Take it easy with dosing at first and get a feel for what is best for you and remember to not over do it or exceed the recommended amount as it could be dangerous.

Just be careful and I wouldn’t recommend you ever move up to 2 scoops.

Ultimately, though, the risk may just not be worth the reward.
