Vegan friendlyMost of what is on the shelf is caffeine plus flavour.
Commodity pre-workouts run on stimulants, a dash of citrulline, and whatever beta-alanine was cheapest that quarter. They ride a bell curve. You get 25 minutes of wired, a sharp drop, and nothing downstream for the rest of your day.
UNHINGE is built for athletes who want the opposite. A performance lift that works on the gym floor, holds through the afternoon, and does not tax your sleep. One scoop is a baseline. Two is the intentional upshift when you need the full stack firing.

No added sugar

What the first 90 minutes feel like
Forty minutes from scoop to your first working set.
-
Mix and drink
One scoop in 300ml cold water. Stir for 20 seconds. Citrus Rush lands like a proper drink, not a chemical shake.
-
First lift
Caffeine and theanine peak in the blood together. Focus climbs before the motor does. You notice the room.
-
Full working set
Citrulline and beta-alanine now actively buffering. Alpha-GPC online. This is where the 2-scoop protocol pulls ahead.
-
Clean afterward
No crash. Ashwagandha and tyrosine smooth the back half. You finish training still able to work a full afternoon.
How the stack actually works
Three pathways, one intentional protocol.
UNHINGE is not a pile of ingredients. It is three linked pathways: energy (caffeine plus theanine plus tyrosine), output (citrulline plus beta-alanine plus betaine), and recovery (ashwagandha plus electrolyte triad plus B-complex).
At one scoop you get baseline lift. At two scoops the cognitive amplifier layer (alpha-GPC plus rhodiola) comes fully online. Two scoops is not "more for bigger guys". Two scoops is a different intentional deployment mode.

What Australian athletes actually say.
★★★★★
"Tried a lot of pre-workout. This has been the best in ages. No crash. Mental focus afterwards is next level. My go-to now."
★★★★★
"I was sceptical about a pre that also claims to help cognitive. Three weeks in and I am buying again. The 2-scoop protocol is the real deal."
★★★★★
"Arctic berry tastes proper. The pump is insane and I am still functional when I get back to my desk. Best pre I have had in years."
Before you order
Honest answers to the real questions.
Is UNHINGE too strong for someone new to pre-workout?
One scoop is deliberately the entry dose. 200 mg of caffeine is less than a large coffee. If you respond well to a coffee, you will handle one scoop of UNHINGE. The 2-scoop protocol is for experienced users who want the full cognitive amplifier layer online.
Why a 90-day guarantee and not 30?
Because 30 days is not enough to evaluate a preworkout honestly. Beta-alanine and ashwagandha compound over 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. We want you through that curve before you decide. If it has not earned its place after 90 days, we refund the tub, keep the PDFs, and you get on with your life.
Can I stack UNHINGE with creatine, electrolytes, or a nootropic?
Creatine stacks cleanly post-workout. Electrolytes are already inside UNHINGE at a real training ratio, so adding a separate sachet is usually redundant. Standalone nootropics that contain alpha-GPC or tyrosine will duplicate dose and are worth cycling, not stacking. The Operating Manual has the full stack rules.
How is this different from AG1 or Momentous Pre?
AG1 is a daily greens baseline, not a training pre-workout. Momentous Pre is a respected clinical pre at a higher price per serving without the nootropic amplifier layer. UNHINGE is a dual-mode pre-workout with a built-in cognitive track, designed specifically for athletes whose performance lives in more places than just the gym floor.
Who should not take UNHINGE?
Under 18, pregnant or nursing, on MAO inhibitors, with uncontrolled blood pressure, or caffeine-sensitive. Talk to your GP if you are on a SSRI. We would rather you skip UNHINGE than have it interact with something serious.
From Sam, co-founder
Thanks for reading this far.
We built UNHINGE because every pre-workout we tried was either a wired-and-crash ride or a watered-down clinical-voice drink with nothing happening at the motor level. One of those felt like a drug. The other felt like a placebo.
UNHINGE is what we wished existed when we were training twice a day and working a full afternoon. One scoop is a proper baseline. Two scoops is a deliberate upshift. Every dose is on the label. Nothing hides in a proprietary blend. The PDFs are the thinking we would walk you through over coffee if we had the time.
If it does not earn its place in 90 days, we refund the tub and you keep the PDFs. If it does, you already know where to find us.
Cheers,
Sam
