30-Second Review

Essential Charged by RAW Nutrition is a extreme-stim pre-workout. Essential with the stim dial turned up. One scoop is 350mg of caffeine anhydrous, 156mg of Dynamine, 100mg of theobromine, 6g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, 2g of tyrosine, and 400mg of alpha-GPC. Start at a half scoop.

You get 6g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, 2g of tyrosine, and 400mg of alpha-GPC with the energy. The tub is $26.24 for 25 servings, about $1.05 each. The limit is that 350mg of caffeine plus 156mg of Dynamine is a lot if you are new to pre-workout.
