Pre-Kaged verdict
One of the more honest tubs on the shelf — citrulline, betaine, caffeine and taurine are all at or above their studied doses. The only knock is beta-alanine at 1.6g, half the 3.2g studied dose. Everything here is a cheap bulk commodity: you can rebuild the whole scoop for a fraction of the tub price.
Wrecked verdict
Heavily dosed and transparent — citrulline, beta-alanine and betaine are all at or above clinical levels. Formula-A. Like every mega-tub it's really a bet on the tub tax: the underlying powders are cheap to buy loose.
