EVL ENGN: Start Your Workout Engine at $0.80/workout!

EVL ENGN is the brand’s headlining pre workout that’s all about the pumps, focus, and performance.

EVL Nutrition has had an incredibly busy 2017, steadily releasing new products as well as new flavors of existing products each month. So far, we’ve recently covered BCAA Lean Energy and PumpMode.

Today, we’re focusing on the supplement that got the brand noticed by many in the supplement community. Of course, we’re talking about their energy and focus-boosting pre workout supplement, ENGN.

What is it that makes this product sell so well? And with a proprietary blend, can it possibly overcome some fears, or is it just a product that everyone loves to get some hot deals on?

We’ve got all the info ahead on ENGN, but first, take a moment to check the best deal and sign up for alerts from PricePlow:

ENGN Ingredients

ENGN is a semi-open/semi-proprietary pre workout that is a unique collection of energy boosters, focus enhancers, and ergogenics designed to get your personal engine revved up and ready for a tough training session.

• CarnoSyn Beta Alanine (1.6g)

  

  EVL ENGN is a tale of two labels….half open, half closed.

  Leading off ENGN is the well-known endurance maximizer — beta alanine. In the body, beta alanine joins with histidine to form the powerful intracellular buffer carnosine,^[1] which helps remove (“buffer”) lactic acid before it can accumulate too much and cause a drop in pH. Carnosine’s buffering ability enhances your ability to last longer each set,^[2,3,4] and offset the uncomfortable burning sensation that often leads to you ending sets early, and leaving gains on the mat.

• Creatine Complex (2g)

  ENGN provides 2g worth of your daily 3-5g creatine from a combination of Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine MagnaPower (Magnesium Creatine Chelate). As most of you know, creatine is an incredibly well-studied and proven compound for enhancing lean mass gains, performance, strength, and endurance.

  The dose here won’t cover all of your creatine needs for the day, which is something we’re not always nuts about in pre workouts. In our mind, either include all of it, or leave it out entirely. If you were to combine this with EVL’s post workout, RecoverMode, you’d be at a 5g dose on the day, which is where most bigger guys like to start.

• ENGN Mind-to-Muscle Matrix (2.213g)

  • Betaine Anhydrous

    

    In the gym or at home, ENGN gives you the energy to rev up your engine

    Betaine is a might compound that’s a key player in methylation in the body as well as the regulation of homocysteine. It also supports the production of creatine in the body and helps increase strength and lean mass gains.^[5,6,7]

    Unfortunately, we don’t know how much we’re getting here (as with the rest of the ingredients in this blend), but we do know it’s not the full 2.5g clinically proven dose, so you’ll have to get the rest of your betaine from EVL’s RecoverMode.

  • Choline Bitartrate

    Choline is a proven focus enhancer that improves your mind-muscle connection while training by increasing concentrations of “the learning neurotransmitter”, acetylcholine.^[8] This is the first of two choline forms in ENGN, the other we’ll get to a bit further down.

  • L-Tyrosine

    Tyrosine is one of our favorite nootropics, and we’re glad to see EVL use the superior form of the amino acid in its pre workout. In the body, tyrosine boosts concentrations of several highly important neurotransmitters like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, which enhances mood, focus, and alertness. It’s also effective for lowering stress and anxiety.^[9]

  • Agmatine Sulfate

    

    Agmatine is similar to arginine, but WAY better, again when it’s DOSED PROPERLY!

    A dual focus booster and pump enhancer, Agmatine is the sole nitric oxide enhancing compound in ENGN. Agmatine inhibits the enzyme responsible for arginine breakdown in the body, arginase.^[10] By limiting the actions of arginase, agmatine frees up more arginine to fuel nitric oxide production and enhance vasodilation, blood flow and pumps.

  • Caffeine (300mg total)

    ENGN contains a combination of caffeine anhydrous and Infinergy dicaffeine malate, respectively. Though we don’t know the exact amounts of each form of caffeine, we do know that the product contains a total 300mg caffeine.

    The combination of the fast and slower-acting caffeines should make for a strong, yet comfortable energy rush for users as they get into their workout.

  • Alpha GPC

    

    She’s all smiles with her tub of high energy ENGN

    The second, and more potent, form of choline in ENGN is Alpha GPC. It supports mental focus during training by providing a choline source to the brain for enhanced acetylcholine production.^[11] It’s also useful for boosting growth hormone following a workout as well as strength,^[12] though you’ll need upwards of 600mg Alpha GPC to see those strength increases.

    Still, we’re always in favor of getting more choline during the day, especially from this incredibly bioavailable form.

    Note: We’re not sure if EVL is using Alpha GPC or Alpha GPC 50%, which supplies half of the listed Alpha GPC. We’ve reached out to EVL for clarification and will update accordingly.

  • Huperzine A

    To bolster the effects of the two choline forms in ENGN, EVL also includes a dash of Huperzine A. Huperzine is a powerful acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that prolongs the actions of acetylcholine in the body,^[13] ensuring you have long-lasting and concentration.

Flavors Available

EVL doesn’t leave consumers wanting for flavors, as the brand has 7 different flavors to choose from for their headlining pre workout. Included in the lineup are:

EVL ENGN comes in a variety of delicious flavors to suit any taste

• Blue Raz
• Cherry Limeade
• Fruit Punch
• Furious Grape
• Green Apple
• Orange Dream
• Watermelon

Other versions of ENGN available as well

If you want to go with a version of ENGN that has no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, then check out ENGN Zero. And those who want a few added weight loss ingredients like forskolin and L-carnitine can also look into ENGN Shred.

Takeaway

EVL has expanded its ENGN lineup over the past year, but fans of the brand keep coming back to the original pre workout that started it all. ENGN delivers energy and focus to help you get amped up going into your workout and keep your riding high the rest of the day.

Every time we talk about a loaded new pre workout supplement, there’s a problem – they’re starting to cost a ton of money. $2.00/workout – sometimes even more!

That’s clearly not for everyone, especially those on a budget. But EVL’s stayed true to their form and we often find this for well under $1.00/workout here, so long as you’re cool with the lack of pumps and just need a high-energy blend.
