Every claim we make, explained — not just labeled.

Antidote is a clean pre-workout built by U.S. Olympian and 10-year U.S. Ski Team member Reese Hanneman: 150 mg of naturally sourced green-tea caffeine, 3 g creatine, 2 g beta-alanine, all 9 essential amino acids, beet root, tart cherry, and a probiotic blend. Every dose is printed on the label — no proprietary blends, no artificial sweeteners, no synthetic stimulant stack.

Every production run is independently tested for 250+ contaminants, with full results published publicly. This is where we explain the why behind all of it.
