The caffeine comes from guarana, yerba mate and kola nut seed rather than synthetic sources, and the whole thing is naturally flavoured, sweetened with stevia and sugar free.

That's deliberate – this is built as a pre-workout you can take regularly without wrecking your sleep or building tolerance fast. If you're used to a 300 mg hit, this will feel light. If you've come off a heavy-stim pre-workout and want something you can use most days, that's exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreatine monohydrate, 3 g.\u003c\/strong\u003e The full daily maintenance dose most people need, folded into the pre-workout so training days are covered without a second product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCitrulline, 2.5 g.\u003c\/strong\u003e An amino acid that feeds nitric oxide production, which is where the pump sensation comes from during a session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeta-alanine, 1.5 g.\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports muscular endurance by buffering acid build-up during sustained hard efforts.
