I'd heard of Venom and it's a caffeine based stimulate. The manufacturers label it with all different kinds of ways to say caffeine (i.e., Yohambine, etc.), but it's still just good old fashioned "caffeine". It works pretty much by increasing metabolism by raising your heart rate (such as a few carefully timed cups of coffee). Some people report that the increased heart rate obtained by taking such stimulants is helpful during morning cardio while others purport that it gives them heart palpulations. Whether or not it is for you...depends upon your needs or reasons for using it. IMO, Caffeine is not a bad thing...and medical studies show that in the correct doses can actually be beneficial to health. Misuse of a product, tends to "demonize" the product thereby giving it a bad name. Personally, I say save your money...if you want a caffeine jolt in the mornings...walmart carries straight "caffeine" pills which do the same trick for much less money!
