The Story Behind Adonis Complex
We Got Tired of Weak Pre-Workouts, So We Made Our Own
Most preworkouts on the market are loaded with proprietary blends, underdosed ingredients, and flavors that taste like chemicals. We were tired of wasting money on products that didn’t work, and we knew we weren’t alone.
So we built something better.
Adonis Complex was founded during the pandemic by two fitness enthusiasts who were done settling for hype, fillers, and fluff. What started as frustration turned into a mission:
To create the most effective sports supplements on the market, backed by science, trusted by athletes, and built without shortcuts.
Built on Science, Backed by Results
We didn’t just want a better product, we wanted to raise the standard for the entire industry.
Every formula is fully transparent, clinically dosed, and crafted with intention. No crash. No stim overload. No artificial dyes or sweeteners. Just real ingredients, real performance, and real results.
We work directly with trusted manufacturers, test relentlessly, and stay committed to what matters most: helping athletes train harder, recover better, and perform at their best.
By Fitness Enthusiasts, For Fitness Enthusiasts
We’re Micah and Ben — the founders of Adonis Complex.
We started this brand because we were tired of how the supplement industry treated people like us. As lifters, athletes, and performance nerds, we wanted something cleaner, stronger, and more intentional.
So we made it ourselves.
Micah: MBA grad, fitness enthusiast, and the original spark behind the brand. His dissatisfaction with mainstream products led to Adonis Complex.
Ben: PhD(c) in Human Performance, certified strength coach, and the brains behind our formulas. He brings the science that makes Adonis Complex different.

I’ve been using this pre-workout for the past few months and honestly, it’s by far the cleanest, most consistent one I’ve ever tried. I work out at 6am, four days a week, and it gives me the perfect boost—no jitters, no crash, just solid energy and focus. I actually feel powerful during my workouts, and afterwards I’m riding a wave of endorphins that carries me into the rest of my day. It feels clean, smooth, and just… right.
What makes it even better is knowing it’s made by Ben Lai. I’ve known Ben for a while—he’s not just a personal trainer, he lives the lifestyle. Super disciplined, super intentional, and someone I fully trust. Everything he puts out, you know it’s done the right way. No shortcuts, no garbage ingredients, just quality stuff from a guy who truly cares about what goes into your body.
If you’re looking for something that actually works and doesn’t mess with your system, this is it.
I bounced around different pre-workouts and energy drinks for years, but this one has been a clear favorite for me after being recommended by a friend. No side effects I felt from other popular brands and after about 20 minutes I can really feel it kick in. It's a very fine powder that dissolves super easy and all three flavors taste great. Sour skittles has been my favorite because it's the most unique.
I’ve tried most of the popular pre-workouts you can find in stores and this is by far the best one. Quality ingredients, amazing flavors, and science-backed. This is what I would call a PREMIUM pre-workout. You would need 3-4 scoops of other pre-workouts to equal 1 scoop of Adonis PRE.
I’ve been using this pre-workout for a couple of years now and absolutely love it! The taste is great! The energy it gives me to motivate and push through some hardcore workouts is top notch. 10/10 would recommend.
This has been a great product. I recommend as a pre workout drink product.
Being a personal trainer and nutritionist, I’ve tried everything out there for preworkouts. Adonis complex pre hits all the marks. Right amount of all ingredients especially the L Citrulline. Also the addition of HMB is a game changer in preworkouts. Also just the right amount of caffeine as to not send you running to the bathroom during a workout. Hitting new PR and building strength well. Stay stocked up on this stuff. Great product all around
Excellent product!! Works well as a pre workout without the crash most high stim products cause
I’ve been using this product for a while now and get consistent, focused workouts! My energy levels and capacity remain high while not having the “crash” later in the day.
Great pre workout! Gets me through my workout with plenty of energy. Will be buying again!
I really enjoyed this new flavor. It's yummy and not overpowering!
Great flavor, great pump. Been happy with my batch so far
Love everything about Adonis Complex. The ingredients and dosing are perfect for truly increasing your performance. Whether you're doing strength or endurance, it's as good as it gets. Bonus is that it also tastes great
For years Ive been making my own pre-workouts due to too many added chemicals and unnecessary fillers in other brands. A.C. is finally a pre I can stand behind and take with confidence. With this product, I don't get terrible crashes like I would with other brands. Great pumps and last for some of my longer workouts. It also taste great! And best of all, made in America! *5 Stars all the way*
I have used various pre-workouts for an extended period of time. While I like the "kick" they give me, I don't like to feel itchy. This mix gives me the energy I need without a noticeable uptake then crash. I am also ADHD so focus for me at the gym (especially after work) can be difficult. I felt like this complex not only gave me energy but actually helped me focus on the workout better. Definitely will be repurchasing!
