30-Second Review

Nutricost's creatine pre. One scoop is 220mg of caffeine, 4g of L-citrulline, 3g of creatine monohydrate, 2g of taurine, 1.5g of beta-alanine, and 750mg of Nitrosigine. Alpha-GPC is 200mg of 50% material, about 100mg actual.

One scoop writes out 3g of creatine monohydrate next to 4g of citrulline. The tub is $26.95 for 30 servings, about $0.90 each. The limit is that 1.5g of beta-alanine is only half a useful dose, and citrulline is still 4g.

Pros

  • One scoop writes out 3g of creatine monohydrate next to 4g of citrulline

Cons

  • 1.5g of beta-alanine is only half a useful dose, and citrulline is still 4g
  • Nitrosigine is 750mg, and there are only three flavors
  • 4g of citrulline is a light pump dose, so this blend will not fill you up the way a 6g or 8g formula does

Brands collect and show their own reviews, so their scores often run higher than at big stores. Amazon doesn't let other sites show its ratings, so the Amazon row has none. Checked Oct 26, 2026.
