TF7 Labs Poison inevitably catches your eye in a retail store with it adopting a similar skull bottle design famous to Crystal Head Vodka fans but can TF7 Labs do more than come out with a nicely packaged gimmick in a crowded pre-workout marketplace?

Fancy Design but Formula Falls Short

We really wanted to like this product. The brand behind it deserve a lot of credit for thinking about how their products would look but when we saw a formula we had reservations. If you double scoop, Poison contains 3 grams of beta-alanine, an ingredient which needs daily dosing at 3.2g according to studies. While this does not deliver that it is a respectable amount and will have you tingling after drinking a serving of Poison.

It is the next two ingredients that are disappointing. Taurine and AKG belong in the 1990's. We don't know who formulated Poison but the brand could do with looking again at these ones.

On a better note, Poison delivers in one area important to people - energy! With 350mg of caffeine, this delivers a surge of energy although we did find that we were crashing towards the end of the workout from the high caffeine dose, a stimulant notorious for a short half-life.

All in all, Poison is not a bad product and will work well for those who engage in short, intense sessions but this is a product which could and should have been so much better in our view.
