Driven Sports Craze (Candy Grape & Berry Lemonade)

I decided to buy me a tub of this preworkout after the banning of the original Jack3D which contained 1,3 Dimethylamyaline (DMAA). For those that are unaware, DMAA is an extract from the Geranium plant and is an effective stimulant of the central nervous system. After a few recorded reports of illnesses and deaths set by the FDA, the compound was soon banned in many countries which unfortunately included Australia. So with the popular Jack3d out of the question, people needed a new champion to take it's place.

Craze is a preworkout worthy of it's own genre. This is not something you take to pump you up and give you a hit before a gym session and I'll explain why. The triumph of this preworkout happens when you are in the middle of lifting iron.The focus is insane and you'll almost need to stop yourself from staying in the gym after your session. I would experience a surge of motivation to keep bashing into my sets and personal bests were definitely demolished! 

One of the more bigger downfalls of this products is the taste. Both flavours that I have tried taste like rubbish! the best I could describe it is overwhelmingly sweetened cough medicine with a hint of ass. I would rather take this as a suppository than gulp through another tub of both flavours. Definitely not the best of tastes.

Mixability however is amazing in this product. Pretty much everything dissolves perfectly and there is no grit or particles loitering in the bottom of your shaker. Be warned though because if you shake this product too much you will get an annoying frothy layer at the top.


Effectiveness is where Craze shines. You won't even feel that it's working because your focus will be attached to getting those weights up. It is notable that this products does not contain Beta-Alanine which means no annoying tingles or flushes. The caffeine content is also marketed to be lower compared to other pre workouts so no jitters are  experienced, just clean energy and focus. 

Craze has an ingredient profile starting with creatine monohydrate & L-citruline which studies show that they aid in endurance and blood flow respectively . The highlighted ingredient in  the blend is Driven Sports trademarked 'Dendrobex'. This is an extract of the dendrobium plant which is boasted to contribute to the amazing focus and coordination as mentioned before. The only quantitatively stated ingredient in Craze is Ascorbic acid. It contains 417% of the daily value for most adults and the reason for such a large dosage is it's anti-oxidative effects thus reducing soreness and aiding recovery.

 Ultimately Craze is focus & motivation in the form of a fine powder. This stuff works great however I have experienced headaches from withdrawal of this product as well as negative mood swings and episodes of depression when I first started taking Craze. Others have claimed having weird dreams at night as well as sleeping difficulties. Tolerance with Craze is also an issue as your body will most likely adapt so it will not be long before you start taking more than the recommended serving size (just make sure you cycle it). I can't complain about the side effects however as this product has worked, definitely worth my money.
