Insane Labz Psychotic War Zombie ZR57-Grape Review

Nearly all of each serving is two proprietary blends: a 6.2 gram pump blend and a 405 milligram stimulant blend. The listing says the stimulant blend includes caffeine, green tea, yohimbine and rauwolfia, but no studies of either blend, or of the individual amounts inside them, were provided, so their effect on energy cannot be judged here. The only ingredients with studies are trace electrolytes, both well below studied doses. Chloride is 73 milligrams, far below the 1200 milligrams of slow-release salt given to people with chronic fatigue syndrome, where 11 of 22 reported better symptoms without a comparison group ^[1]. A salt water mouth rinse helped preserve muscle force in cyclists ^[2], and a salt water drip into a vein extended hard cycling ^[3]. Other small trials found no gain in endurance ^[4][5][6]. Potassium is only 30 milligrams, and no study tested a potassium supplement on its own. A low-salt, high-potassium diet improved vigour and mood ^[7], but a larger trial linked such a diet to more fatigue ^[8]. A homeopathic potassium dose did no better than placebo ^[9], and lowering blood potassium did not change fatigue ^[10]. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

All ten panelists spoke about potassium, the main ingredient, and most of them recommend or use it. Four of them drink electrolyte mixes with sodium, magnesium and potassium, often first thing in the morning, during exercise or on a fast, to stay hydrated; one gives a dose of 200 milligrams per serving. Others recommend it for healthy blood pressure, with one citing 4,700 milligrams a day as the need and saying most people fall short, and three of them prefer getting it from foods like bananas, potatoes and avocado over supplements. Other forms and uses mentioned include potassium citrate for urinary citrate, pairing it with magnesium and salt, and taking it during the luteal phase for water retention. One panelist cautions that it is risky for people with kidney disease or conditions that raise potassium levels and advises checking with a physician, and another notes that meds can flush potassium out; chloride is a smaller ingredient in this product, described as working with sodium to keep fluid in balance.

The tier 5 grade rests on potassium, a trace 30 mg electrolyte that no study tested as a supplement, while the two main blends that make up nearly the whole serving have no human studies given, so the evidence is thin rather than negative. So it is graded Tier 4, as the studies disagree.

Combine with: For performance use, this product pairs well with creatine monohydrate for strength and power, L-citrulline or citrulline malate for pump and blood flow, and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) for hydration during training. L-theanine (100-200 mg) can smooth caffeine's jittery effects and may reduce stimulant-induced tension. If heart and blood pressure support is the actual goal, look instead at non-stimulant options such as magnesium, potassium-rich foods, CoQ10, omega-3 fish oil, hibiscus extract, and garlic extract, and consult a healthcare provider, especially if taking meds, before using high-caffeine pre-workouts.
