Maximum Formula Pre Workout

One scoop is like a small cup of coffee and two scoops is like a big cup of coffee. If you're used to convenience store energy drinks like Bang or Monster, then you'll probably want two scoops for the full effect.

You can always start with one scoop and work your way up until you find the ideal energy. Many of our fans are very happy with 1.5 scoops. Others go as high as 3 scoops but we do not recommend that unless you have a very high caffeine tolerance!

This varies from person to person based on caffeine tolerance and whether you've had other sources of caffeine sources.

Most people should not have more than 600mg of caffeine per day and we definitely don't recommend more than 1000mg.

If you have no other sources of caffeine during your day, the most SHIFTED Energy you should consume over an entire day is 6 scoops.

SHIFTED Energy adds the ingredient L-DOPA as a nootropic mood booster and removes most of the workout ingredients from the pre-workouts that help with strength, blood flow and endurance. SHIFTED Energy is designed to provide focused energy and mood improvement.

Having said that, some people do use SHIFTED Energy as a basic pre-workout because of the caffeine.

Right now SHIFTED Energy just comes in Gummy Blast but we are expanding our flavors and will have several new ones in 2025.

Not at the moment but this is in the works.

Alpha GPC for focus. L-DOPA for mood boost. L-Theanine for calmness. Rhodiola rosea for anti-fatigue. L-Tyrosine for increased cognitive performance. Taurine for increased neurogenesis.

We like to use SHIFTED Energy as an afternoon pick me up around 1 or 2pm. If you've had coffee or used our pre-workouts, then you'll want to wait a few hours before using Shifted Energy or take a much lighter dose.

Anytime you need to fill up your electrolyte tank.

For working out, we recommend you take SHIFTED Hydration during your workout (intra-workout) because of all the essential nutrients, you deplete electrolytes (and water) the fastest while working out. Plus SHIFTED Hydration will reinvigorate you to push through more sets.

Taking SHIFTED Hydration before and after sporting events will help prevent cramping.

Taking SHIFTED Hydration before, during and after any sweaty situation will help your body stay invigorated and become get rejuvenated.

Our current flavors are sweetened with sucralose but in the near future we will have naturally flavored versions with Monk Fruit and Stevia.

Yes, there is some evidence that Vitamin C which is in SHIFTED Hydration helps with skin hydration. Additionally, the skin contains approximately 32% water and water contributes to a more youthful and glowy appearance. With an optimal blend of electrolytes we can empower our skin to retain more water, improving overall skin hydration. Stay tuned for a full line of SHIFTED naturally flavored products.

This depends entirely on how many electrolytes your body needs.

If you've been sweeting a lot working outside or going for a long hike, you might take up to 3-4 servings per day as needed.

On hot days and in warmer months you might find yourself taking 2 servings of SHIFTED Hydration per day most days. In cooler months, you may not need any, or you may only take 1 serving.

A lot depends on your activity levels and the climate.

SHIFTED Hydration can help you with weight loss because hunger often comes from cravings related to electrolytes (especially salt). If you satisfies these cravings with a low calorie product like SHIFTED Hydration, then you will avoid higher calorie salty products like potato chips or french fries.

All human beings need electrolytes in their diet.

Electrolytes help everything in your body run better. From your individual cells to your muscles, electrolytes will help your body run more smoothly and you will feel more invigorated .

SHIFTED Hydration has an optimal blend of electrolytes to maintain a healthy electrolyte balance and maintain optimal fluid utilization within the body.

In addition, SHIFTED Hydration has anti-oxidants to minimize inflammation and oxidative stress.

Yes. A hangover is basically the combination of inflammation and dehydration wrecking havoc in the body. SHIFTED Hydration has ingredients to lower inflammation and to improve hydration. Because of this, SHIFTED Hydration is an excellent hangover supplement.

Yes! SHIFTED Hydration is an excellent intra-workout supplement.

There is very little that you can consume during your workout that will help you immediately other than electrolytes and water.

We recommend a workout stack that looks like this:

1. Before workout - Shifted Pre-Workouts
2. During workout - SHIFTED Hydration
3. Immediately after workout - SHIFTED Recovery
4. An hour after working out - SHIFTED WPI

We like to think of Premium as your daily performance fuel. Some of us even use it as an energy drink replacement. It's the perfect energizing pick me up with over 11 ingredients designed to give your mind and body an extra edge.

Maximum is the product we take on heavy lifting days or when we really want to challenge ourselves. It's scientifically designed to let your body push itself to the limits. Maximum has higher doses of the most important ingredients and a few additional ingredients like ElevATP and Oxystorm red spinach extract that take preworkouts to the next level.

For optimal athletic performance prior to and during sports competition we recommend a half dose of Maximum.

For Premium, it's one stick pack. For Maximum, it's two stick packs.

Most women prefer our Premium Pre-Workout and especially enjoy the Tropical flavor. The Premium pre-workout is a more moderate dosage and the perfect place to get started. At the same time, plenty of women have enjoyed our more intense Maximum Pre-Workout as well, especially those who like to push themselves to the limit.

We encourage you to experiment! A lot of athletes have told us that half a serving of Maximum gives them the best edge without too much hyper focus.

When training hard in the weight room, take a full dose of Maximum. On your off days, take Premium as daily performance fule and to keep your beta-alanine and creatine levels up.

Yes, stay tuned! You'll see at least two new flavors in 2023.

For cardio workouts we recommend our Premium Pre-Workout.

For Premium, it's one stick pack. For Maximum, it's two stick packs.

Runners can benefit from taking pre-workout because of the electrolytes and endurance ingredients like beta-alanine, l-citrulline, elevATP, beet root and red spinach. Half a dose of our Maximum Pre-Workout is ideal for runners.

Yes. Every ingredient in Shifted has been thoroughly studied in published academic literature. Additionally, Shifted is currently being studied in three active double blind peer reviewed studies. So far one of these studies has been published and you can read about it here.

Yes. Watch for us to innovate. This is more than a business to us. We want to create products that help people thrive. We're glad you're here with us for the ride.

The easiest way to explain why Isolate is a superior form of Whey Protein is simple: it has the fewest calories per gram of protein of any mainstream protein option. Isolate minimizes the number of carbs and fat that come with a serving of protein.

Because of this, WPI is especially ideal for those looking to lose weight or cut body fat.

We highly recommend that you get some of your protein from real food. Having said that, there really isn't a limit to how much whey protein isolate you can consume in a given day.

A typical customer uses one scoop (25g) per day but serious bodybuilders consume up to 4 scoops (100g) per day.

To lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. Whey Protein Isolate can be helpful in maintaining a calorie deficit because protein helps satiate and keep your body satisfied. It also helps to preserve muscle mass during weight loss.

All human beings need protein in their diet. Many people do not get enough. And the more muscle mass you have, the more protein you need to maintain your muscle mass.

Another role of Whey Protein Isolate is recovery. WPI helps with repairing and rebuilding muscle. To repair and reubild, your body needs the basic building blocks (Amino Acids) which are contained within Whey Protein Isolate.

Whey Protein Isolate is a complete protein and therefore contains all of the essential amino acids (EAAs) needed for muscle synthesis.

The EAAs contain the BCAAs. So the 12g of EAAs in in SHIFTED's WPI contain the 5.5g of BCAAs.

No, Whey Protein Isolate naturally contains both essential amino acids (EAAs) and branched chain amino acids BCAAs and it is an excellent source of both.

SHIFTED WPI is 100% Whey Protein Isolate and therefore has to be digested before the amino acids are available to start muscle building and repair.

SHIFTED Recovery has 10g of free form Essential Amino Acids which are immediately available for rapid recovery. They are more quickly available than pure whey protein.

We recommend taking SHIFTED Recovery immediately your workout and then SHIFTED WPI 30-60 minutes later to sustain recovery.

When you want to maximize muscle recovery after strenuous activity.

For working out, we recommend you take SHIFTED Recovery immediately after your workout. This allows for rapid muscle recovery due to the free form Essential Amino Acids in our formula.

As a delicious,low-calorie protein snack, you can take SHIFTED Recovery whenever you feel like it. And if you're like us, you'll kinda get addicted to this stuff!

Our naturally flavored version is being developed right now and will appear on shelves in 2025.

Yes, there is abundant evidence that the tart cherry powder we include in our formula reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. We've heard from customers who use it along with other anti-inflammatories for everything from sunburn to hangover recovery.

We have many customers who use SHIFTED Recovery 2-3x per day. Because it is primarily a protein product, and because it's very low calorie, you can use SHIFTED Recovery along with our WPI Protein Powders to satisfy your protein needs. Just don't forget to eat nutritionally dense foods as well.

SHIFTED Recovery gives you 18g of protein for only 80 calories, which is very hard to beat. It's also a light and delicious alternative to typical whey protein.

One of the most common recommendations for losing weight is to increase protein calories while decreasing carb and fat calories. SHIFTED Recovery is a great way to make this shift.

After intense resistance exercise, our muscles seek to adapt by growing stronger and more able. In order to do this, they need an anabolic environment for muscle synthesis.

SHIFTED Recovery offers immediately available fuel for muscle building in the form of free-form Essential Amino Acids. It also sustains muscle recovery with clear Whey Protein Isoalte.

SHIFTED Recovery has an optimal blend of free-form EAAs and Whey Protein Isolate to kickstart and sustain muscle synthesis post-workout.

In addition, SHIFTED Recovery has phytonutrients, flavonoids, and other phenolic compounds that have been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Whey Protein is a great food supplement for muscle recovery. The only downside is that before it can be used, it must be digested. This delays the onset of an optimal muscle building environment.

SHIFTED Recovery is superior to Whey alone because it allows for the rapid absorption of Essential Amino Acids, allowing a faster muscle building response.

Yes! SHIFTED Recovery is an excellent post-workout supplement.

While it can be consumed at other times of the day as a protein snack, it was designed to trigger an immediate anabolic response post-workout.

It is also easier on the stomach and will feel smoother going down after a workout than a typical whey protein shake.

1. Before workout - Shifted Pre-Workouts
2. During workout - SHIFTED Hydration
3. Immediately after workout - SHIFTED Recovery
4. An hour after working out - SHIFTED WPI
