30-Second Review

Axe & Sledge's all-in-one pre. A full serving is two scoops: 300mg of caffeine (250mg anhydrous plus 50mg of zümXR extended-release), 100mg of theobromine, 8g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, 2.5g of betaine, 2g of L-tyrosine, 250mg of CDP-choline, 150mg of ElevATP, and 50mg of Senactiv, with 200mg of sodium and 100mg of potassium. One scoop is half of everything. No creatine.

Two scoops give you 8g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, and 2.5g of betaine, all full doses with every amount on the label. 50mg of the 300mg caffeine is zümXR extended-release, with 100mg of theobromine alongside, so the energy is built to last. The tub is $49.99 for 20 servings, about $2.50 each. The limit is that the tub says 40 servings, which counts single scoops, so a full two-scoop dose gives you 20 workouts.
