This is not a pre-workout.

A pre-workout is built around a jolt. Caffeine, a big scoop, a tingle across your face, twenty minutes of feeling enormous, and then an afternoon you have to manage. It works, in the sense that you definitely feel something.

This is built around what's in it.

Seven actives. All of them at doses we print on the front.

Citrulline malate at 3.5g. Creatine monohydrate at 3g. Inositol at 1.8g. Beta-alanine at 1.2g. Acetyl-L-carnitine at 1g. Tyrosine at 400mg. Theanine at 300mg.

There's no proprietary blend hiding the ratios and there's no maltodextrin bulking out the weight. Nothing in there is cheap, and several of them are ingredients most brands leave out precisely because they aren't.

You could make this yourself.

Everything in it is on the panel and none of it is secret. Buy seven ingredients, get a set of scales, work out the ratios, and mix it in your kitchen. That's genuinely how this started.

The reason it stopped being that: you're trusting seven separate sellers on what's actually in the bag. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most commonly adulterated ingredients in the category. Amino acids get cut. Nothing arrives with a certificate of analysis unless you demand one and know how to read it, and by the time you've weighed everything out at six in the morning, twice a day, the effort has outlasted the enthusiasm.

We had it made in a facility that tests what goes in, sealed a measured serve in aluminium, and printed the numbers on the front.
