30-Second Review

Primal by Animal Pak is a high-stim pre-workout. Animal's loaded pre. A full serving is two scoops: 300mg of caffeine, 6g of 3DPUMP (citrulline, glycerol, and amla together), 3.2g of beta-alanine, 2.5g of betaine, and 50mg of 40% TeaCrine. A 200mg herbal blend can add caffeine on top of the 300mg.

3.2g of beta-alanine, 2.5g of betaine, and 300mg of caffeine are written out. The tub is $41.95 for 25 servings, about $1.68 each. The limit is that the 6g pump number is a citrulline, glycerol, and amla blend, so it is not 6g of citrulline.
