Dark Labs product guide Find your product.
Take it right.

Dark Labs plays in its own league when it comes to strength. That's why we put together this guide to our products. Even Crack Daily, designed for regular training, would be a hardcore pre-workout in many other brands' lineups. Use this guide to compare how each product feels, how strong it is and where to start.

These pre-workouts are for adults. Some contain up to 550 mg of caffeine per full serving, more than four typical 12 oz energy drinks. Start with the listed dose and follow the directions for each product.

Read before your first scoop

Four rules for every stim product

They apply to every product with a power level of 1 or more.

Start from halfYour first time with any stim product: half a full serving. Crack Initiation is the exception. Capsules: start with 1.
Use enough waterAt least 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) per scoop. Two-scoop servings: 300–350 ml (10–12 fl oz).
Time it20–30 minutes before training. No stims within 6 hours of sleep.
One stim at a timeNever stack two stim products, and skip coffee and energy drinks that day. Stim-free products stack with anything.
