Afterdark | EPO+ Pump | 21 ServingsStim free pump, hydration, and focus with stacked nitric oxide support Afterdark EPO+ Neural Pump is a stim free pre workout built on a simple goal: give you fuller, longer lasting workouts without caffeine. It skips the fake hype and goes for nitric oxide boost, cell swelling, hydration, fuel support, and focus from acetylcholine. That's great for night trainers, folks sensitive to stims, or anyone stacking a pump mix with their own caffeine choice.

Stim-free pump, hydration, and focus with stacked nitric oxide support

Afterdark EPO+ Neural Pump is a stim-free pre-workout built on a simple goal: give you fuller, longer-lasting workouts without caffeine. It skips the fake hype and goes for nitric oxide boost, cell swelling, hydration, fuel support, and focus from acetylcholine. That's great for night trainers, folks sensitive to stims, or anyone stacking a pump mix with their own caffeine choice.

The pump is the star here. You get 5,000mg L-citrulline malate, plus 750mg L-citrulline alpha-ketoglutarate and 750mg arginine alpha-ketoglutarate. Citrulline is the top pick for oral nitric oxide because it boosts arginine levels better than taking arginine straight—it avoids a lot of breakdown in the gut and liver. Studies often use 6-8g of citrulline malate or similar amounts of pure citrulline, so this hits close to that effective range, even before the extra citrulline AKG. In the gym, that means wider blood vessels, bigger pumps you can see, better nutrient flow, and muscles feeling fuller on back-to-back sets. The AAKG adds another arginine path for nitric oxide and might give that quick vascular feel, but citrulline does the main work based on the research.

Hydration and swelling are done right. With 2,000mg HydroPrime™ 65% glycerol, you get a solid dose for pulling in fluid and making cells bigger. Glycerol has decent backing for boosting body water and holding onto it, especially with enough water. That's why these glycerol pumps feel better when you mix with plenty of liquid—it draws and keeps water where it counts. Sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesium help with fluid balance and muscle nerve signals, and the sodium-chlori

Afterdark EPO+ Pump by Afterdark contains 20mg Vitamin B3, a clinical dose for muscle recovery and growth.

Key Highlights

  • 5,000mg L-Citrulline Malate plus 750mg L-Citrulline AKG gives you a solid citrulline base that's close to what studies show works, with an extra citrulline kick. Citrulline is awesome for nitric oxide because it ramps up arginine better than arginine itself, leading to killer pumps, better blood flow, and workouts that feel way better.
  • 750mg Arginine AKG backs up the citrulline with a straight arginine nitric oxide path. Arginine isn't as reliable by mouth as citrulline, but together they amp up that quick vascular feel and make the pump design even stronger.
  • 2,000mg HydroPrime™ 65% Glycerol goes for real hyperhydration and cell swelling instead of fake hype. Glycerol helps hold onto fluid and boost total body water when you drink enough, so the pump feels thicker and sticks around longer, not just for the first couple moves.
  • Electrolytes from sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesium make the hydration real and backed by how your body works. Sodium and chloride handle fluid outside cells, while potassium and magnesium keep nerves and muscles firing during tough sessions.
  • 3,500mg glycogen polymers throw in a nice fuel boost for volume training. It lists dextrose, D-ribose, and highly branched cyclic dextrin, so it supports muscle fullness and output without making this a full-on carb drink.
  • 1,000mg L-Tyrosine helps with focus when you're pushing physically and mentally. Tyrosine feeds into brain chemicals, which is key in stim-free mixes where you still want that calm, on-task vibe in the gym.
  • 750mg NeuraChol™ adds a real brain boost beyond just pump. Mixing DMAE bitartrate, Alpha GPC, and CDP choline, it ramps up acetylcholine for sharper focus and better connection to your lifts.
  • Huperzine A is in there to keep cholinergic signals going longer by slowing acetylcholine breakdown. In the gym, that makes the choline mix hit harder and keeps you locked in deeper into your workout.

Afterdark EPO+ Pump by Afterdark contains 20mg Vitamin B3, a clinical dose for muscle recovery and growth.

Who Is This For?

  • Bodybuilders in muscle-growth phases who rate pres by how full muscles feel, how strong contractions hit, and if pumps last through exercises. Stacked citrulline, arginine AKG, glycerol, and carbs make it killer for chest, shoulders, arms, and legs where flow and swelling boost the vibe.
  • Night trainers wanting real pre effects without caffeine messing sleep or recovery. Stim-free setup gives neural kick from 1,000mg tyrosine, 750mg cholinergic complex, and huperzine for acetylcholine.
  • Stim-sensitive folks who get shaky, anxious, or no appetite from caffeine bombs but want a real workout boost. This swaps hype for pump, hydration, and focus that feels like pure performance.
  • Lifters with their own caffeine who want mix-and-match options over fixed stims. EPO+ Neural Pump adds nitric oxide, swelling, electrolytes, and brain support for custom energy adds.
  • High-volume fans doing supersets, drops, short rests, or dense bodybuilding. Glycerol, electrolytes, glycogen polymers, and nitric oxide fit sessions where keeping full and output high matters as much as max strength.
  • Cross-trainers wanting focus and pump without making every workout a stim party. Great for accessories, circuits, mixed days where clear mind and hydration beat a pounding heart.

How to Use

Mix a full 19.5g scoop in 16-24 oz cold water, drink 20-30 minutes before hitting the gym. That timing lets citrulline, glycerol, tyrosine, and brain ingredients build up for your big sets. New to pumps or niacin-sensitive? Start half scoop to test, then go full once you're good. Use a shaker—it mixes better than stirring, and extra water helps taste and results. Empty stomach or light meal gives cleanest kick, heavy fat might slow the focus part. Stim-free means you can add coffee or caffeine pills, but ease in to avoid overdoing. Hydrate hard—glycerol and electrolytes thrive on it. No cycling needed for tolerance, lots use it daily. Store sealed in cool dry spot, glycerol can pull moisture.

What to Expect

First 0-10 minutes is setup mode, no rush. Drink settles, hydration builds, some get mild niacin warmth from the 20mg B3. At 10-20 minutes, focus sharpens from tyrosine and brain blend, especially if you're wiped from the day. By 20-40 minutes, it's on: pumps hit quicker, muscles fill as reps stack, session gets that zoned rhythm. From 40-90 minutes, it holds steady—no stim drop; depends on your workout intensity, water, and how much you push blood flow. Days 1-7, pumps, fullness, and clean focus stand out. Weeks 2-4, consistent creatine helps more, and it fits into sustainable training better than high-stim stuff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Afterdark EPO+ Neural Pump contain caffeine or any stimulants?

No. This is a stimulant-free pre-workout, so there is no caffeine listed in the verified formula. Its performance feel comes from blood-flow ingredients like citrulline and arginine AKG, hydration support from HydroPrime™ glycerol and electrolytes, and focus support from tyrosine, choline donors, and huperzine A.

How strong is the pump formula compared with most stim-free pre-workouts?

It is stronger than average because it does not rely on a single pump ingredient. You get 5,000mg citrulline malate, 750mg citrulline AKG, 750mg arginine AKG, 2,000mg HydroPrime™, electrolytes, grape seed extract, and support ingredients that reinforce fullness and circulation.

Is the citrulline dose clinically dosed?

It is near the clinically relevant range, especially once you consider the additional citrulline AKG. Research commonly uses around 6-8g citrulline malate or similar pure citrulline amounts, so 5,000mg citrulline malate plus 750mg citrulline AKG is a serious, evidence-aligned pump setup.

Will this replace my daily creatine?

Not fully. The formula includes a 2,000mg creatine complex, which is useful support, but daily creatine literature is usually centered around 3-5g per day. If you want full creatine saturation, keep using a standalone creatine product alongside this.

What does HydroPrime™ actually do in this formula?

HydroPrime™ is a glycerol ingredient used to support hyperhydration and cell volumization. In simple terms, it helps retain more fluid when taken with enough water, which can make pumps feel fuller, rounder, and more persistent through the session.

Is this good for night workouts?

Yes, that is one of its best use cases. Because there is no caffeine, you can use it before evening training without the same risk of sleep disruption that comes with high-stim pre-workouts.

Can I stack EPO+ Neural Pump with coffee or a caffeinated pre-workout?

Yes, but do it intelligently. The formula is built to be stack-friendly because it contains no stimulants, so many users pair it with coffee or a separate caffeine source; just start modestly to avoid creating a custom stack that is too aggressive for your tolerance.

What should I feel after taking it?

Most users notice a gradual increase in workout focus and a more pronounced pump as training volume accumulates. You may also feel a mild warmth from niacin, but the defining experience is fuller muscles, better blood flow, and cleaner concentration rather than a stimulant rush.

Why are some parts of the label less transparent than others?

Most of the backbone ingredients are clearly disclosed in milligrams, which is a positive. The main limitation is that composite systems like NeuraChol™ and the glycogen polymer blend do not disclose every sub-ingredient amount, so you can evaluate the system total but not each component inside it.

Do I need to cycle this product?

You do not need to cycle it for stimulant tolerance because it is caffeine-free. Most users can run it consistently, and regular use makes the supportive creatine content more worthwhile while helping establish a repeatable pre-workout routine.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
