Secret Weapon is one of the newest names to take on the supplement industry, and it is doing so without a large selection of items. The brand has instead started with a single category, one almost every sports nutrition company eventually plays in, with a stimulant-powered pre-workout. Secret Weapon’s debut effort is Formula 21, a surprisingly loaded formula that balances pumps, performance, focus, and energy with a level of complexity you don’t see from a newcomer.
Formula 21 gets its name from the fact that it squeezes in 21 active ingredients, and many of them are included at respectable and efficacious dosages. The foundation begins with 5g of classic creatine monohydrate alongside 400mg of PeakATP and 2g of beta-alanine for strength and performance. Then, to take care of pumps, you get a gram of arginine and a more moderate amount of pure citrulline at 3g.
The energy and focus side of Formula 21 is where you get a lot more attention and support with a gram of tyrosine, half a gram of alpha-gpc, 250mg of lion’s mane, theobromine, theanine, and another mushroom extract by way of reishi. Secret Weapon has made this a stimulant pre-workout; although it hasn’t utilized caffeine for the pre-workout, it’s instead gone with the smoother caffeine metabolite Enfinity paraxanthine, at 250mg for gradual energy.
Secret Weapon has really leaned into the sensory benefits for Formula 21, with a host of nootropics and stimulating components, and with the rise in popularity of muscle-building creatine, it has conveniently thrown in a full daily dose of the tried-and-true ingredient. If you like what you see from the newcomer, you can head to secretweaponsupps.com and pick up a full-size tub of 22 servings at $49.99, with one flavor at the moment in Electric Berry Bliss.
