    Listed as “Citrulline Malate”, a form we have no conversion for, so it isn't graded.

  • Beta-AlaninePer scoop 2 gStudies 3.2–6.4 g/dayBelow research doseStrong

    Contains 2 g; studies use 3.2–6.4 g/day. Beta-Alanine works through daily use over weeks; a lower amount still builds up, just more slowly.

  • L-TyrosinePer scoop 1 gStudies Not setNot gradedNot graded

    Contains 1 g. Not graded: a 2023 meta-analysis found no effect on endurance; its evidence is for focus under stress, at about 150 mg per kg of bodyweight.

    Contains 350 mg (4.7 mg/kg at 75 kg); studies use 3–6 mg/kg.

Use “Check it for your dose” to see this table for your own scoops and bodyweight. Only caffeine is dosed per kilogram in the studies we cite; the other research doses are fixed amounts, so your weight doesn't change them.

Instant BCAA Blend
Proprietary blend · 3 ingredients · amounts not disclosed
5 g total

US labels must list blend ingredients heaviest first (21 CFR 101.36). So the 1st is at least 1/3 of the blend, the 2nd can be at most half, the 3rd at most a third.

How many scoops would it take?

To reach the low end of the research dose for each underdosed ingredient.

Beta-Alanine to 3.2 g
1.6 scoops
brings 560 mg caffeine

Taking more doesn't fix this product. Reaching those doses means more than 400 mg of caffeine from the scoops alone, above the FDA's 400 mg daily reference for most adults, before any coffee.
