Supplements that have only been on the market for a short time test best for me because I'm not influenced by any reviews from friends or people on the internet. I don't know what to expect from a supplement and I really enjoy testing
And when I recently came across Vast Blast, a new broad spectrum pre-workout, I wanted to give it as much attention as possible. And does it have any effect? Is it worth it? And how does it taste? Find out that and much more in today's review.
Content of the review
At the beginning, it remains to note that I tried this pre-workout in raspberry variant, which is also the only available flavour.
The composition of Vast Blast can compete with the best
When it comes to supplements in the gym, not many people are familiar with the SizeAndSymmetry brand. Yet its supplements can regularly compete with the best supplements on the market. And Vast Blast can be a clear proof. It combines 18 synergistically active substances that have a spectrum of effects so wide that you won't be surprised.
- 500mg guarana extract, which is a natural source of caffeine
- 800mg of l-tyrosine, which is a precursor to adrenaline and noradrenaline
- 10mg synephrine to stimulate the appetite for training and better fat burning
- 3000mg of beetroot extract, which thanks to its nitrate content can maximize muscle blood flow and NO production.
- 4000mg of l-citrulline DL malate which plays a vital role in NO production. The effective dose is unfortunately around 6g, so the amount here is insufficient.
- 750mg of cordyceps, 250mg of rhodiola and 200mg of ginseng extract, which is the best possible blend ever for activating energy potential.
- 500mg of ashwagandha and 1000mg of maca, which is again a very well chosen combination. Both of these ingredients are actually very effective in terms of optimizing anabolic hormones.
- 400mg of tribulus terrestris (90% saponins), which plays an important role in hormone optimization.
- 4600mg of choline bitartrate, which improves fat emulsification and memory
- 120mg of DMAE, which is great for improving mood and delaying the onset of fatigue during hard workouts.
- 5mg of piperine, which radically increases the absorption of other substances.
- 240mg of vitamin C , essential for the proper functioning of the immune system.
- 6mg of vitamin B6 for proper protein and carbohydrate metabolism
- 0.01mg of vitamin B12 for proper synthesis of energy from ATP
- 150mg of magnesium citrate, which is a light energy form of magnesium due to its participation in the Krebs cycle.
What I really appreciate about Vast Blast is the lower caffeine content, which is only found here within the guarana extract. If you want, you can have coffee with your pre-workout and not have to worry about any negative effects caused by overdose. Overall, the stimulant content is not extreme, so it can be used even before evening workouts.
What I miss, on the contrary, is definitely beta alanine, which is one of the most effective pre-workoutsubstances . The concentration of citrulline could be a bit higher as well.
When and how did I use Vast Blast?
I used Vast Blast as recommended by the manufacturer- one and a half scoops (20g) about half an hour before training. Size And Symmetry also lists a Hardcore dosing option, i.e. increase by half a scoop (you would already have a total oftwo heaped servings), however, in my opinion, this is definitely not necessary for the average exerciser.
Did I feel any effect?
The magic of this pre-workout is not only in the short-term use, but especially in the long-term. Hormonal optimization is definitely not a matter of two or three doses, but you have to take Vast Blast really regularly.
As for the actual pre-workout effect, you probably won't notice it until you start working out. The stimulant content isn't extreme, and you won't even have burning ears due to the absence of beta alanine. However, the effect on blood flow is maximal, and your veins will also pop out when you train thanks to the relatively high nitrate content.
Taste-wise one of the worst supplements on the market
To be honest, I had to wonder for a long time if I've ever drunk anything worse. And I've actually come to the conclusion that aside from the infamous Alavis, you won't find many worse tasting supplements. In fact, everything but raspberries are evident in this pre-workout. For a while I even felt like I had a sugar plaster in my mouth.
Very intense is some unspecifiable taste of herbs reminiscent of opening an expired box of anchovies. In addition, after drinking, a very unpleasant aftertaste remains in the mouth, so thatI would definitely recommend brushing your teeth before exercising. Although we repeat many times in our reviews that taste is not a key aspect of supplements, I won't forget about Raspberry Vast Blast any time soon.
The price is comparable to competing supplements
The whole package of this pre-workout supplement will cost you , which when budgeted comes out to less than per dose. This is of course a price comparable to many competing supplements, very similar to the popular Beast Virus from Czech Virus, which we reviewed some time ago. On the one hand, this price is quite high, but on the other hand, in my opinion, it is definitely worth paying extra for a quality pre-workout. It's not a necessary supplement, so if you can't afford really functional products, better save your money and just have a coffee before your workout.
Final evaluation
Vast Blast is, from my point of view, a very successful combination of a hormone optimizer enriched with several loveand a good pre-workout to help you achieve your goals. When you also take into account that it is comparable in price to the vast majority of productsyou can find on the market, it is definitely one of the supplements you should give a chance too.
