Afterdark | VOID Pre | 21 Servings

Afterdark VOID is a high-stim pre-workout built around a clear formulation strategy: anchor the formula with clinically relevant performance ingredients, then layer in an aggressive energy, mood, and focus complex designed to make hard training feel sharper, faster, and more immersive. That matters, because too many stim-heavy pre-workouts sacrifice actual performance support for a flashy label. VOID does not. The foundation here starts with 6,000mg fermented L-citrulline, a research-backed dose right in the range commonly used to support nitric oxide production through the arginine-NO pathway. Citrulline is converted to arginine in the kidneys more efficiently than taking arginine itself, which is why it remains one of the most dependable pump ingredients in sports nutrition. In practice, this means fuller pumps, better muscle blood flow, and improved training feel as sets accumulate.

The second true anchor is 4,000mg beta-alanine, which exceeds the classic 3.2g daily benchmark used in the literature for raising intramuscular carnosine. Carnosine buffers hydrogen ions generated during high-intensity work, helping delay the burning fatigue that forces you to shut down a set. This is not a one-day ingredient; it works through saturation. Used consistently, this is one of the formula’s most meaningful long-term performance advantages. Taurine at 1,000mg adds osmotic and cellular support, helping with hydration dynamics, contractile function, and training endurance. The added electrolytes—200mg sodium, 200mg potassium, and 200mg chloride as verified here—support fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscular contraction. Sodium and potassium work through the Na+/K+-ATPase gradient, while chloride helps maintain extracellular fluid and acid-base balance. In a pre-workout context, these are not “label decorations”; they improve the platform that pump, performance, and stimulants operate on.

The stimulation profile is where VOID becomes distinctly aggressive. Caffeine anhydrous is included, but the exact amount is not disclosed in the verified formula, which means total caffeine cannot be responsibly stated. That said, the formula clearly pushes into high-stim territory because caffeine is stacked with 200mg theobromine HCl, 100mg NeuroRush coffee fruit extract, 100mg Advantra Z standardized to 30% synephrine, 50mg Halostachys caspica extract standardized to 20% halostachine HCl, and 3mg alpha yohimbine. This is not a simple caffeine formula. It is a multi-pathway stimulant matrix targeting adrenergic activity, perceived energy, drive, thermogenic feel, and workout intensity. Tyrosine at 1,000mg supports catecholamine production under stress, Acetyl L-Carnitine at 300mg adds a modest cognitive-energy contribution, and 200mcg huperzine A slows acetylcholine breakdown to sharpen focus and mind-muscle connection. Kanna extract and lotus leaf push the experience further into mood and headspace territory rather than basic stimulation.

There is also a partially hidden performance-support side to this formula. Dextrose and highly branched cyclic dextrin are included, but their individual amounts are undisclosed. That suggests a small carbohydrate component intended to support training energy, gastric comfort, and possibly uptake alongside sodium. Mangifera indica fruit powder, Kaempferia parviflora, Ginkgo biloba, and Pinus massoniana bark extract are also present at undisclosed amounts. These likely support circulation, cognition, and antioxidant defense, but because the doses are hidden, they should be viewed as supportive rather than primary decision-driving ingredients.

Synergistically, VOID makes sense. Citrulline expands blood flow, electrolytes improve fluid dynamics, taurine helps cell hydration, and beta-alanine improves tolerance to repeated hard efforts. On top of that, the stimulant-nootropic stack elevates arousal, mood, and focus so the physical side of the formula is matched by a noticeable central drive component. The transparency picture is mixed: several headline ingredients are fully disclosed and dosed well, which is excellent, but caffeine and some support complexes remain partially obscured. Day 1, expect strong energy, beta-alanine tingles, noticeable elevation in intensity, and a fuller pump. Over 2-4 weeks, the biggest cumulative change should come from beta-alanine saturation, making repeated hard efforts feel more sustainable.
