8g Citrulline, 3.2g Beta-Alanine, 300mg Layered Energy

Axe & Sledge Intake is an open-label, stim-based pre-workout that covers blood flow, endurance in the gym, and steady focus. The setup is simple and smart. It starts with the key players that really boost your workouts—L-citrulline, beta-alanine, betaine, and caffeine—then adds branded ingredients for ATP boost and recovery signals, all without hiding behind prop blends. That's huge in a market full of flashy but weak formulas. Intake feels like it's made for real training.

At two scoops, you get 8,000mg L-citrulline. That's a full, effective dose. Citrulline turns into arginine in your kidneys better than straight arginine, which pumps up nitric oxide for wider blood vessels, better flow, and a killer pump. It also helps clear out ammonia buildup from tough sessions via the urea cycle. You'll notice fuller muscles, better nutrient delivery, and less early fatigue.

Beta-alanine hits 3,200mg per full serving, matching the standard dose from studies. It builds up carnosine in your muscles over time, and carnosine fights off the acid that piles up during intense reps. That's why it's awesome for volume training, intervals, or those burning final reps that make most people quit. It builds up with regular use, so stick with it for the best results.

Betaine anhydrous is at 2,500mg, a solid dose backed by research. Betaine acts as an osmolyte, which means it helps cells stay hydrated and pumped, and it provides methyl groups for performance metabolism. In sports

A&S Intake Pre by Axe & Sledge contains 149mg Chloride, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

  • 8,000mg L-Citrulline per full serving — that's a legit dose that works, not some skimpy amount. Citrulline boosts arginine levels better than taking arginine directly, cranking nitric oxide for wider veins, awesome pumps, and more blood to your muscles during lifts.
  • 3,200mg Beta-Alanine per 2 scoops — spot on with what studies recommend daily to ramp up muscle carnosine. Carnosine fights workout acid, so you can power through those reps where the burn usually stops you cold.
  • 2,500mg Betaine Anhydrous — a straight-up good dose for power, stamina, and keeping muscles hydrated. Betaine pulls in water to cells for better balance, and the research shines at this level for gym gains.
  • 300mg total caffeine from two sources — 250mg quick-hit anhydrous plus 50mg zümXR® slow-release at full dose. This mix gives fast energy that lasts smoother than just the quick stuff.
  • zümXR® extended-release caffeine — a patented way to avoid the big spike and crash of regular stims. It's what makes this pre feel different, keeping energy steady beyond the label numbers.
  • 2,000mg L-Tyrosine — a hefty dose for focus in a pre. Tyrosine feeds dopamine and norepinephrine production, super helpful when training stress tries to scatter your brain.
  • 250mg Citicoline Sodium — thrown in for clearer thinking, better attention, and stronger mind-muscle feel. It boosts choline for brain signaling, teaming up nicely with caffeine and tyrosine.
  • 150mg elevATP® — at the full researched dose. Instead of shaky oral ATP, it amps your body's own ATP making, smart for keeping power and effort high rep after rep.

A&S Intake Pre by Axe & Sledge contains 149mg Chloride, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.

Who Is This For?

  • Intermediate builders on volume programs wanting real pump and focus all session. 8g L-citrulline and 2.5g betaine boost flow and hydration, 3.2g beta-alanine handles repeat sets when burn hits.
  • Strength folks in build phases needing steady output across sets. Clinical beta-alanine, full betaine, and 300mg caffeine support speed and consistency without wild stims.
  • After-work trainers needing sharp mind without stim chaos. Quick and slow caffeine plus tyrosine-citicoline keep you focused when tired.
  • Label readers who hate prop blends. Fully open so you see exact citrulline, beta-alanine, betaine, caffeine, elevATP®, Senactiv® at 1 or 2 scoops.
  • Folks who scale doses by workout. One for light days or low stims, two for heavy pulls or long blocks.
  • Cross-trainers mixing lifts with intervals or conditioning. Beta-alanine buffers acid, citrulline clears ammonia and flows blood, stim-focus keeps output up.

How to Use

Mix 1 scoop in 8-10 oz cold water or 2 in 12-16 oz, drink 20-30 minutes before lifting. Timing's good 'cause quick caffeine hits fast, rest is ready for sets. New or stim-sensitive? Start with 1. Full 2 scoops has 300mg caffeine plus theobromine—best for those who handle it.

Use a shaker for even mix with all these ingredients. Empty stomach for quicker feel, or light meal if stims bug you; big food slows it. Don't stack with other pres, energies, or strong burners—it's got layered stims already. Good with creatine, EAAs, carbs, or hydration for hot sessions. No need to cycle non-stims, but caffeine breaks help tolerance. Store cool and dry, seal tight.

What to Expect

Minutes 0-10: flavor hits first, then quick caffeine starts. Full dose might bring light beta-alanine tingles if you're not used to it daily.

Minutes 10-20: head feels clearer. Energy builds, focus tightens, caffeine-tyrosine-citicoline combo feels smooth. Pump and muscle fullness start during warm-ups.

Minutes 20-40: prime time. 8g citrulline pumps hard, energy's full on, stims feel strong but not overkill.

Minutes 40-90: zümXR® keeps it steady, no big crash, great for long or mixed workouts.

Days 1-7: feel the pump, energy, focus right away. Weeks 2-4: beta-alanine builds carnosine, high-rep work feels easier. Consistent use makes week three better than day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Axe & Sledge Intake?

At 1 scoop, Intake provides 150mg total caffeine from 125mg caffeine anhydrous plus 25mg zümXR® extended-release caffeine. At the full 2-scoop serving, that doubles to 300mg total caffeine, delivering both a fast onset and a more sustained energy curve.

Is 1 scoop or 2 scoops the real serving for Intake?

The formula is intentionally scalable. One scoop is a moderate pre-workout dose with 4g citrulline, 1.6g beta-alanine, 1.25g betaine, and 150mg caffeine, while 2 scoops brings the full intended formula online with the clinically strong 8g citrulline, 3.2g beta-alanine, 2.5g betaine, and 300mg total caffeine.

Does Intake use proprietary blends?

No. Intake is fully disclosed, which means every active ingredient and every dose is listed on the label. That is a major advantage in a category where many pre-workouts still hide key ingredients inside proprietary matrices.

Will Axe & Sledge Intake make me tingle?

It can, especially at 2 scoops. The formula contains 3.2g beta-alanine per full serving, and beta-alanine commonly causes a harmless tingling sensation called paresthesia, particularly when you are new to it or taking larger doses at once.

Is the citrulline dose in Intake actually clinical?

Yes at 2 scoops. Intake delivers 8,000mg L-citrulline per full serving, which sits squarely in the 6-8g range most often associated with meaningful nitric oxide, blood flow, and performance benefits in sports nutrition.

What do elevATP® and Senactiv® actually do in this formula?

elevATP® is included at 150mg, the studied dose, and is designed to support endogenous ATP production and power output. Senactiv® is included at 50mg, also the studied dose, and is used for recovery-related support including glycogen restoration and muscle regeneration signaling after hard training.

Is Intake more of a pump pre-workout or an energy pre-workout?

It is both, but with a stronger all-in-one performance identity than a pure pump formula. The 8g citrulline gives it serious pump credibility, while 300mg total caffeine, tyrosine, citicoline, and theobromine provide meaningful energy and focus.

Can I stack Intake with creatine?

Yes, and that is one of the best stacks for this formula. Intake already covers citrulline, beta-alanine, betaine, and stimulants well, so adding 3-5g daily creatine monohydrate rounds out the phosphocreatine side of high-intensity performance.

Should I take Intake every day or only on training days?

For the stimulant effect, many users save it for training days. But beta-alanine works by gradually increasing muscle carnosine, so consistent intake is ideal if you want the full endurance and buffering benefit over time.

Is Intake beginner-friendly?

It can be, but beginners should absolutely start with 1 scoop. A full 2-scoop serving provides 300mg total caffeine and clinically meaningful performance doses, which can be too strong for someone with low stimulant tolerance or no pre-workout experience.

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!
