Our take

Fully disclosed, well-dosed formula with moderate caffeine.

NSF Certified for Sport, with caffeine from coffee bean and a fully disclosed label.

Evidence note

Pre-Workout: Most pre-workouts are built around caffeine plus ingredients such as citrulline and beta-alanine. The biggest differences are the caffeine dose and whether doses are fully disclosed.
