Product score

60 / 100Good
Category average
66 / 100

A broad pre-workout mix with one-scoop directions, but the amounts of its individual performance and stimulant ingredients are not disclosed, so its dose and stimulant exposure are hard to judge.

Score before rubric limits: 65.6 / 100.

Scoring criteria
  • Quantity

    75 / 100

    The formula’s principal performance and stimulant ingredients are present, but their individual amounts are undisclosed, leaving adequacy unresolved.

  • Form

    75 / 100

    The listed conventional forms include creatine monohydrate, citrulline malate, and caffeine anhydrous, with no established overall absorption or tolerability advantage for this mixture.

  • Convenience

    100 / 100

    The label directs one 20 g scoop per training session and limits use to two scoops per 24 hours; the evaluated routine is one scoop.

  • Label accuracy

    100 / 100

    The supplied label consistently lists its ingredients and declared sub-blend amounts, with no explicit contradiction; undisclosed individual blend amounts are addressed separately.

  • Formula balance

    75 / 100

    The broad pre-workout combination is conventional, but undisclosed ingredient proportions prevent judging how well its components are balanced for the stated role.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    No product-specific purity controls or contaminant findings are supplied, and the listed flavoring, sweeteners, and color do not establish a defect.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    No separately quantified supporting ingredient is identifiable beyond the multi-active formula and incidental nutrients.
