Analysis

Citrulline malate reaches 8 g, beta-alanine 3.6 g, and betaine 2.5 g, giving the performance side credible depth. AlphaSize Alpha-GPC at 300 mg and theanine at 350 mg add focused cognitive and stimulant-balancing support.

Caffeine anhydrous is high at 350 mg even with an equal theanine amount. Sodium, potassium, and calcium add useful electrolyte coverage, but the six grams of carbohydrate are secondary to the active formula.

The fully disclosed powder is one of the most complete pre-workouts in the group. It fits demanding training for caffeine-tolerant adults, while sensitive users would benefit from a lower-stimulant option or a carefully reduced serving.

Who is it for
  • Experienced athletes with strong caffeine tolerance
  • Adults wanting a fully dosed all-in-one pre-workout
  • People who train well before bedtime
Best for
  • High-intensity performance sessions
  • Pump and muscular-endurance support
  • Workout focus with theanine and Alpha-GPC

Pros

  • Provides 8 g citrulline malate
  • Uses full-scale beta-alanine and betaine amounts
  • Includes 350 mg theanine and 300 mg Alpha-GPC
  • Adds sodium and potassium
  • Fully discloses active doses

Cons

  • Contains 350 mg caffeine
  • High serving cost
  • Limited dose flexibility for caffeine-sensitive users
  • Adds 6 g carbohydrate

Warnings

  • Do not combine the 350 mg caffeine serving with other stimulants or high-caffeine drinks
  • Avoid late-day use because caffeine may significantly disrupt sleep
  • Beta-alanine commonly causes temporary skin tingling
  • People with cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, or stimulant sensitivity should seek professional guidance before use

Nutrient quality

85 Highest impact

Full pre-workout amounts of citrulline malate, beta-alanine, betaine, theanine, Alpha-GPC, and caffeine create excellent performance depth. The caffeine load is very high for stimulant-sensitive users.

Caffeine and theanine provide powerful acute alertness support, while citrulline, beta-alanine, and betaine target workout performance. Each major active is supplied at a clearly stated, substantial amount.

The caffeine serving is very high and may cause anxiety, palpitations, sleep disruption, or other stimulant effects in sensitive users. The formula is tightly built for pre-workout energy rather than everyday fatigue management.

Citrulline malate, beta-alanine, betaine, caffeine, and electrolytes provide unusually complete pre-workout coverage. Each main active reaches a well-supported amount, while L-theanine balances the strong stimulant component.

The caffeine amount is high enough to cause jitters, sleep disruption, or cardiovascular symptoms in many users. It is a potent formula for experienced caffeine users, but the serving is not appropriate for everyone.

Fully dosed citrulline malate, beta-alanine, and betaine strongly support training volume and performance relevant to muscle gain. These main ergogenics have robust human evidence, while caffeine further supports acute output rather than hypertrophy directly.

The major pump, fatigue-buffering, and betaine amounts meet common evidence-based targets. The actives are logically paired and theanine may soften the subjective stimulant feel. The high caffeine amount may cause jitteriness or disrupt sleep, even with theanine present.

Caffeine, L-theanine, and branded Alpha-GPC directly target alertness, calmness, and acetylcholine support. The combination is well constructed for acute focus, although 350 mg caffeine is a very high single-serving stimulant load.

All major active amounts are disclosed, and theanine matches caffeine one for one to soften its subjective edge. The high caffeine amount may cause anxiety, insomnia, palpitations, or blood-pressure increases, especially in stimulant-sensitive users or when combined with other caffeine.

Caffeine, L-theanine, and branded Alpha-GPC create a direct focus and acetylcholine-support combination. Performance ingredients may further support training energy but are secondary to the cognitive trio.

Theanine and caffeine are substantial, while the Alpha-GPC label does not state active yield. The 350 mg caffeine amount may cause jitteriness, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or sleep disruption in stimulant-sensitive users.

Caffeine, L-theanine, and Alpha-GPC form a strong stack for alertness, smoother stimulation, and cholinergic support. The product is built for exercise, but the core trio is directly relevant to productivity.

The caffeine amount is very high, while theanine is also higher than usually needed and Alpha-GPC active yield is unclear. Exercise ingredients add bulk, yet the main cognitive combination remains coherent and potent.

Report overview
Theanine · 350 mg OverallScore68
B+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Explicit L-theanine identity confirms the active isomer, but no branded source or purity testing is shown. The higher amount remains within a generally safe range but may feel more sedating than needed. A large stimulant amount makes the formula better aligned with focused energy than relaxation.

Caffeine · 350 mg OverallScore64
B Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Caffeine anhydrous is clearly measured at 350 mg, but the amount is very high for one serving. L-theanine may soften the subjective feel without reducing the stimulant exposure, and no sustained-release form is used. The narrow safety margin and very high serving cost limit its appeal.

Alpha-GPC · 300 mg OverallScore60
C+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD- Value

AlphaSize provides a recognized branded form, but the listed 300 mg does not clarify active yield. Assuming 50% yield, the estimated 150 mg active amount fits a lower maintenance range. The 350 mg caffeine amount may cause jitteriness or disrupt sleep, especially in stimulant-sensitive users.
