Ultra is intended for occasional use before training, not as a daily energy product. Check the label on your tub for the exact formula and serving size. None of the active ingredients has an authorised health claim in the UK, so they are described for information only. Please read the warnings carefully before buying.
Key benefits
- EXTREMELY HIGH CAFFEINE – about 500 mg per full scoop (check the label on your tub)
- Citrulline and citrulline nitrate pump matrix
- 6 g beta-alanine and 4 g L-tyrosine
- Not for daily use
How to use
Only for experienced adults: start with ½ scoop (15 g) to assess tolerance and never exceed 1 level scoop in 24 hours. Because a full scoop (about 500 mg caffeine) exceeds the 400 mg daily level considered safe for healthy adults, the safer choice is to use no more than half a scoop and take no other caffeine that day.
Who it's for
Only very experienced adult stimulant users with no medical conditions.
Allergens
No intentionally added allergens; made on equipment that also processes milk, egg, soya and cereals containing gluten. Recipes can vary by flavour and may change, so always check the label on your pack.
