375mg sustained caffeine with real beta-alanine and citrulline support

Afterdark Inhuman is a legit high-stim pre-workout that packs a punch on the energy side while covering the basics for actual performance. It ramps up your nervous system for focus and intensity, then adds support for blood flow, fatigue fighting, hydration, and endurance. That's key because tons of strong stim pres ignore how your body really works during a workout. It doesn't max out every area perfectly, but it's made to make your tough sessions feel driven, sharp, and effective.

The stim setup is the star. You get 400mg total in a delayed-release caffeine matrix, delivering 375mg caffeine from anhydrous, dicaffeine malate, and micro-encapsulated forms. That means a quick hit upfront from the anhydrous, plus longer-lasting energy from the slow-release stuff – perfect for avoiding an early peak and mid-workout crash. On top, there's 200mg theobromine HCl and 1.5mg alpha yohimbine. Theobromine is like caffeine but smoother and lasts longer – it boosts mood and opens airways without copying caffeine exactly. Alpha yohimbine amps up the adrenaline feel, making this hit harder than the caffeine amount suggests.

For focus, they threw in 500mg L-tyrosine, 100mg L-theanine, 150mg NeuroRush™, and 100mcg Huperzia serrata extract standardized to 1% huperzine A. Tyrosine helps make dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine – studies show it keeps your brain sharp under pressure. At 500mg, it's helpful but not the huge doses from some stress tests, so think of it as backup rather than the main event.

Afterdark Inhuman Pre by Afterdark contains 20mg Vitamin B3, a effective dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

  • 375mg total caffeine from a delayed-release mix – not just a quick dump. Blending anhydrous with dicaffeine malate and micro-encapsulated caffeine gives you fast energy that sticks around longer in your workout.
  • 200mg theobromine HCl on top of the caffeine – a real dose, not window dressing. It's another stim like caffeine but feels smoother and lasts longer, boosting energy and mood without feeling identical to caffeine.
  • 1.5mg alpha yohimbine – this is what makes it feel like a true high-stim pre. It ramps up adrenaline and gives a sharper edge than pres with similar caffeine levels.
  • 5,000mg L-citrulline malate – a good dose for pumps and blood flow by boosting nitric oxide through the arginine pathway. Since it's malate form, the pure citrulline is a bit less than 5g, but it's still enough to feel better vascularity and workout flow for most people.
  • 3,500mg beta-alanine – one of the best parts here. This dose is right in the sweet spot from studies to build muscle carnosine over time, helping push back the burn in tough, repeated sets.
  • 1,000mg taurine – a solid amount for keeping cells hydrated, balancing fluids, calming nerves, and supporting muscle work. In a high-stim pre, it helps make the energy feel steady instead of all over the place.
  • 150mg NeuroRush™ – a strong dose of this coffee extract for mental energy without piling on more stims. Its polyphenols and chlorogenic acid help keep your brain resilient and work with the caffeine.
  • 500mg L-tyrosine – good support for brain chemicals during stressful lifts, especially with high caffeine. It's under the big doses in some studies, so it's more of a helper than a full nootropic blast.

Afterdark Inhuman Pre by Afterdark contains 20mg Vitamin B3, a effective dose for training performance and pump.

Who Is This For?

  • Seasoned bodybuilders in high-volume hypertrophy who need more than a caffeine hit. 375mg caffeine, 200mg theobromine, 1.5mg alpha yohimbine drive hard, with 5g citrulline malate and 3.5g beta-alanine keeping pumps and output going deep.
  • Lifters with 60-90 minute sessions who lose steam midway. Delayed caffeine avoids quick peaks and drops; theanine, taurine, tyrosine, NeuroRush direct the energy.
  • Early morning trainers needing a strong wake-up. Stims overcome grogginess, nootropics shift you to focused without chaos.
  • Folks who've maxed out basic 200mg caffeine pres. This is stronger, alpha yohimbine and theobromine make it feel more intense than caffeine alone.
  • Gym rats who want better mind-muscle link from stims that sharpen intent, not just heart rate. Tyrosine, theanine, NeuroRush, taurine make it focused and controlled.
  • People in accumulation with supersets, short rests, high reps. 3.5g beta-alanine loads carnosine for acid buffering – great for repeated efforts over max singles.

How to Use

Mix 1 scoop in 10-16 oz cold water, drink 20-30 minutes pre-workout. Timing lets fast caffeine hit while slow forms extend it. New to high-stims or alpha yohimbine? Start with half scoop to check tolerance. Use a shaker for even mix – these powders with actives and flavors need shaking. Take with light food or empty stomach; heavy meals slow stim and focus uptake. Don't stack with other pres, burners, or big coffee doses unless you're sure – total stims can overload fast. Stack with daily creatine, intra electrolytes if you sweat a lot, post protein or carbs per goals. No need to cycle beta-alanine, but break from stims if tolerance builds or sleep dips. Store sealed in cool, dry spot to keep it mixing well – flavors hate moisture.

What to Expect

Minutes 0-10: mixes like your usual flavored pre; on an empty stomach, you might feel rising alertness and tingles from niacin or beta-alanine. Minutes 10-20: anhydrous caffeine starts working, theobromine widens the energy, alpha yohimbine adds edge. Minutes 20-40: peak time – focus sharpens, motivation jumps, workouts feel urgent; citrulline malate shows in pumps as demand builds. Minutes 40-90: delayed release keeps energy steady, not crashing like plain caffeine. Days 1-7: stim effects hit every time, but beta-alanine is just starting to load carnosine. Weeks 2-4: steady use makes beta-alanine count more; it feels like a pre that boosts output, not just stims.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Afterdark Inhuman per scoop?

One scoop contains a 400mg delayed-release caffeine matrix yielding 375mg total caffeine. That caffeine comes from caffeine anhydrous, dicaffeine malate, and micro-encapsulated caffeine, so the experience is designed to last longer than a simple anhydrous-only pre-workout.

Is Afterdark Inhuman a beginner-friendly pre-workout?

No. With 375mg caffeine, 200mg theobromine, and 1.5mg alpha yohimbine, this is better suited to experienced stimulant users. Most beginners should start with a lighter formula or at minimum begin with half a scoop to assess tolerance.

What makes the energy in Inhuman feel different from standard pre-workouts?

The energy profile is not built on caffeine alone. The delayed-release caffeine system provides immediate and sustained stimulation, while theobromine extends the effect and alpha yohimbine adds a sharper adrenergic edge. Theanine, taurine, tyrosine, and NeuroRush help make that energy feel more focused and controlled.

Is 5g of citrulline malate a good dose?

It is a respectable dose and enough to support better pump and blood flow, but it is important to note that citrulline malate is not the same as 5g pure L-citrulline. Because part of the weight is malate, the actual citrulline content is lower than the total 5,000mg listed.

Will Afterdark Inhuman make me tingle?

Probably. It contains 3,500mg beta-alanine, which commonly causes a harmless tingling sensation called paresthesia, especially in the face, neck, and hands. Some users may also notice warmth or flushing from the 20mg niacin.

Does Inhuman contain a full daily creatine dose?

No. It includes 500mg Creatine Pyrinox™, which is a specialty blend of creatine pyruvate and L-arginine L-pyroglutamate, but that is not enough to replace a full 3-5g daily creatine monohydrate protocol. If creatine saturation is a goal, stack a standalone creatine with this pre-workout.

Can I stack coffee or a fat burner with Afterdark Inhuman?

Most users should not. At 375mg caffeine plus 200mg theobromine and alpha yohimbine, the formula is already intense, and adding more stimulants can push it into side-effect territory fast. If you are stacking, do so conservatively and only if you already know your tolerance.

How long before training should I take it?

20-30 minutes pre-workout is the sweet spot for most users. That gives the fast caffeine enough time to begin working before you train, while the slower caffeine forms help carry energy into the later part of the session.

Can I use Afterdark Inhuman for cardio or only for lifting?

It is primarily built for hard lifting sessions, especially high-intensity and high-volume training. The stimulant profile can certainly drive cardio performance, but alpha yohimbine and the overall high-stim feel may be too intense for some users during longer steady-state work.

Why does this version matter versus marketplace listings?

Competitive landscape data indicates some marketplace variants remove the delayed-release caffeine matrix and Huperzia serrata extract. That matters because the complete version preserves the intended energy delivery system and full active profile rather than trimming ingredients for mass retail.

Best diet/health book I have ever read
Format: Kindle
For scientifically-minded laypeople, this is an excellent read. I altered my diet because of this book. Using a bit of intuition, it seems much more logical that nature attempts to achieve balance with respect to macro nutrients and vitamins/minerals. I loved Mr. Jaminet's explanation of the relationship of vitamin A,D, and K. I do have about a thousand questions for the author (Paul Jaminet), such as his lower protein recommendations (this differs greatly from a typical gym rat's recommendation of 1 gram of protein per pound of body mass). The book recommends more protein for the athlete, but not at the levels recommended elsewhere (high protein diets). I think Mr. Jaminet and others that are recommending a smaller ratio of protein to fat/carbs are ahead of the game. I find my diet in desperate need of more insoluble fiber, although this book does not treat fiber as being extremely important and advises against too much fiber. I use PGX daily fiber once per day and it had made a big difference for me. All in all, there are 3 big aspects that I would like Mr. Jaminet to weigh in on in future books or other publications. First, please expand more on repairing the health of your gut and the good bacteria that live there. What is the absolute quickest way to optimize gut flora and, subsequently, keep inflammation at a minimum? I understand Mr. Jaminet's stance on legumes, but it seems very contradictory to common sense. From the surface, not eating any legumes would raise my BS flag. Overall, if the answer is "don't eat legumes because you can get all the benefits from other foods and, therefore, better safe than sorry", then this should be considered a dubious argument (I am not saying that this is the argument in the book). To be fair, the book has much more detailed reasons to steer clear of legumes, but I am still a little on the fence about it. Lastly, PHD refers to the Shangri-la diet and using MCT or Coconut oil to suppress appetite, but I would LOVE a detailed scientific explanation of what the body's "setpoint" really is. From my clinical trials (on myself!), this is a huge factor. My body seems to want to be at a set weight and even body fat percentage and it takes quite a bit of effort to lower or raise that setpoint. This applies to the PHD because assertions are made with respect to the body's need for a certain quantity of protein and carbs. How does the setpoint interact with those processes? PROS: * Clearly, Mr. Jaminet or his editors took a technical writing course. This book is written using the active voice and uses a conversational tone. Extremely easy to read! It is simple, direct, clear, and concise. CONS: * This book cites clinical studies as evidence to buttress certain assertions. This is not a problem if you factor in what the study was trying to measure and external variables that would greatly affect the conclusions. Here is an example of clinical studies that are almost worthless (at least from drawing a single conclusion): Patient group A ate such and such and patient group B ate such and such over a 20 year period. The death rate was 11% higher in patient group A, therefore eating what they ate "may" have been the cause of the higher death rate. Drawing conclusions from such a study is really difficult, I think. I am no scientist, but even I can see that these sorts of studies should be used as a starting point for more investigation and not as the final word on a subject.

Paleo Perfected - With the Science to Back It Up!
Format: Hardcover
After experimenting with other versions of the paleolithic-based diet, I was happy to finally come upon Paul and Shou-Ching's book, The Perfect Health Diet. It's a scholarly treatment of a complex subject, but presented in a way that's easy to follow and understand. It combines the best parts of old-time wisdom with cutting edge science to lay out a lifestyle and an approach to health that treats the body holistically. The authors systematically lay out the scientific and evolutionary basis for their approach to health. The fact that they both suffered from serious medical conditions - which were cured by taking this new approach - lends a great deal of sincerity to the writing. In a logical, orderly fashion the book walks through the basis for the diet, then tackles each of the major energy sources (proteins, carbohydrates and fats). Once that groundwork is laid, they address the hidden toxins that are present in most of the foods that comprise the Standard American Diet (SAD - a rather appropriate acronym) and help the reader understand HOW the foods contribute to poor health. Throughout the book, the authors use simple but effective "call out" boxes to highlight some key science behind the diet. They also sprinkle in just the right amount of reader testimonials to highlight how their lives were changed by following the Perfect Health Diet. Those examples are placed in just the right spots so the reader can see how the concept being discussed relates to real people in the real world. The inclusion of a Takeaway at the end of each chapter helps tie all the concepts together perfectly. My only complaint is that they use the word "diet" in the title. While they use it in the academic sense (i.e., the foods that you habitually eat to provide sustenance), too many people only think of "diet" as a restriction in your food intake to promote weight loss. I prefer to think of the authors' book as a "lifestyle", rather than simply a prescription for changing your food intake. That view is reinforced by the holistic treatment of the impacts of circadian rhythm disruption on health - a fascinating chapter that probably could have as much impact on your overall health as your choice of food! I think it's very telling that only a short chapter is actually devoted to the discussion of weight loss -- because it is based upon all of the other principles that have already been outlined. The discussion in the weight loss chapter on the scientific origins of obesity is fascinating and sobering at the same time. Overall, the Jaminets have done a fabulous job of scouring the scientific literature and tying together some popular concepts (the whole Paleo movement continues to gain steam in mainstream society) with a solid scientific underpinning that will go a LONG way toward helping people understand not just WHAT to eat (or not eat) but also WHY. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand how their body functions and how the food you eat impacts your health and longevity. It is well-written, thorough and very convincing!

Really enjoyed this book and found it helpful
Format: Kindle
The first night after starting this diet I found myself eating a juicy half pound hamburger without the bread, a sweet potato with butter, a small salad with fresh lemons squeezed on top and some sparkling water. Life could be a lot worse!!!! This book was written by 2 Harvard educated scientists. It is thoroughly researched and made a ton of sense to me. I've dieted a lot in my life. I always lost weight and always gained it back. That's a pretty frustrating way to live. The weight gain and loss roller coaster is awful. Over the last 20 years I've tried Atkins, Paleo Diet, Zone Diet, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, South Beach Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Blood type Diet etc etc etc....They all work and they all have flaws which ultimately caused me to stray from them for one reason or another. As an example Nutrisystem is convenient but I don't want to eat that food forever. Atkins and Paleo cut out major food groups PERMANENTLY! They are way too extreme for me. Zone Diet was too much work. Weight watchers with the points was too time consuming. South Beach Diet was a nice fad but I got tired of that also. Anyway, without dragging on too much longer I want to say that the best part of the Perfect Health Diet is its SIMPLICITY! This way of eating doesn't require much thought, planning, or effort. The authors give you a list of foods to eat without asking you to eliminate carbs, fatty foods, meat or dairy. I was taught what carbs to eat and avoid and in what portions. I learned what fatty foods to eat and how often to eat them. I learned about about protein and was taught the right amounts of protein to eat. Most importantly i never feel hungry on the Perfect Health Diet! This diet WILL reduce your food cravings. You are fed well. You eat a lot of fatty foods and still lose weight. You can have dairy in the form of yogurt. You can have starches. You eat fruits and veggies along with lots of eggs, meat, and some fish. Basically you feel healthy because your body gets everything it NEEDS to make you feel GOOD! This diet is the only one I've tried that eliminates food cravings and hunger. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could

The Best, Readable Single-Source Book On Diet and Health
Format: Hardcover
As other reviewers have said, this is really the best "Paleo 2.0 book" available. For those who haven't yet jumped on the bandwagon, eating like our ancient Paleolithic (and Mesolithic) ancestors will help us avoid many of our chronic diseases and feel good doing it! And yet, the Jaminets also take the approach that a straight meat and veggies diet is simply too low in carbs for a properly functioning immune system and proper thyroid level (carbs are required for basic immune functions like phagocytic attack and mucus secretion, as well as neurological and immune energy which feeds back to thyroid output). They like carb sources found in the paleolithic and mesolithic cultures such as tubers, fruit, dairy (for some) and low-in-antinutrient white rice. Now, to the practical: on this diet my family and I have seen an increased level of energy and overall spunk (skin shine, sleep quality, etc.) compared to when we were on, in sequence, a paleo Zone type of diet (Barry Sears' Zone diet using paleo foodstuffs), and a lower carb Mark Sisson-style primal diet. Basically, this has more saturated fat than the former and more carbs than the latter. We are as lean as we were, but feeling better and without any problems, whatsoever. For those who have chronic infections (read: "lingering health issues"), this book also explains how you can fine-tune your diet and supplementation to fight these infections, whether they are viral, fungal, or bacterial (a different approach for each). The same for athletes. My only criticism is that they only give 1 sentence to the classes of diseases which fare better avoiding starch and, instead, getting their carbs from fruit and honey (such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Spondylitis, and other within the class; as well as some other diseases). While this diet/lifestyle is very easy to combine with a GAPS approach, with carbs from simply sugars and not starch, this goes unsaid and the authors tend to prefer starches for most. In short, this is the best book out there for a well-researched, unbiased view on diet and how it impacts our lives and health. I actually recommend for those who really care to read their blog, and then go buy the book for the relatives who probably won't read the blog on their own.

One of the better food, diet, and health books available, but with significant drawbacks
Format: Kindle
Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet present the most cogent argument in favor of ancestral-style eating that I have ever read. In fact, I never really understood the logic behind Paleo until I read Perfect Health Diet. I applaud their scientific rigor and willingness to challenge dietary dogma, Paleo or otherwise. There is no question that removing all grains and legumes from one's diet is incredibly effective for people with autoimmune diseases and some other chronic, intractable health conditions. But when taking the evolutionary perspective on human diets it's also important to recognize that many cultures have thrived on grains and legumes for millennia, and humans have evolved some clever ways to extract nutrients from foods that would otherwise be toxic through the use of prolonged soaking, sprouting, and fermentation, all techniques that are very effective at reducing seed toxicity. I think that properly prepared grains and legumes can be a nutritious part of our diets, at least for those of us who do not suffer from autoimmunity. Stephen Guyenet has written excellent posts on legumes (wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2013/11/beans-lentils-and-paleo-diet.html) and grains (wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/search/label/lectins). I also wish that the Jaminets had delved a little bit deeper into the subject of fatty fish from a sustainability standpoint. They recommend that we eat fatty fish, but make no mention of seafood sustainability and the importance of avoiding farmed fish, especially farmed (aka "Atlantic") salmon. Farmed fish are fed soy, corn, and pellets made of smaller fatty fish like anchovies and sardines. Entire small fish fisheries off the coast of Western South America are being destroyed in order to feed our hunger for farmed salmon, while we have plenty of small fatty fish we can eat (but choose not to) here on the west coast of North America (herring, sardines, anchovies, etc.). I bet that the fat profile (3:6 ratio) of farmed salmon is not nearly as good as that of wild salmon and smaller cold water fish. That said, I highly respect and follow their writing and will continue to look forward to their excellent work.
