The EU product clearly states its caffeine and creatine, which is better than a proprietary blend. However, 750 mg citrulline and 1,5 g beta-alanine are modest compared with commonly studied standalone amounts, and we did not locate an exact current public EU product register in this audit.
Score breakdown
| Area | Finding | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Formulation | Useful creatine/caffeine core; lighter support doses | 19 / 25 |
| Transparency | Full EU composition table | 19 / 20 |
| Laboratory verification | No exact current EU register located | 9 / 20 |
| Safety | Caffeine quantity and limits visible | 13 / 15 |
| Company reliability | Established manufacturer and regional label | 9 / 10 |
| Value | Broad availability; formula value is mixed | 9 / 10 |
Formula and label
The European label lists 3 g creatine, 1,5 g beta-alanine, 750 mg citrulline, 175 mg caffeine and smaller amounts of carnitine, tyrosine and botanical ingredients. The creatine and caffeine do most of the evidential work; the longer label should not be mistaken for proportionately greater effect.
Laboratory and certification trail
Optimum Nutrition operates Informed Choice products, but the public evidence reviewed did not establish a current exact listing for this EU pre-workout. Absence from the register is not a failed test; it means the audit cannot award the same verification points as NSF-listed rivals.
Company accountability
The official regional page provides a full composition table and sensible warnings. Brand size is not a replacement for exact product-level certification.
Where this fits
Potentially useful for someone who wants creatine and caffeine in one drink and understands the formula. Daily creatine consistency becomes awkward if the product is only used occasionally.
Limits and update trigger
No independent assay or tolerance test. Exact formula and warnings vary by region.
Evidence register
Source rule: Manufacturer pages establish the current label and company claims. Independent directories establish only the certification, product, region and batches they actually list. Popularity, awards and affiliate economics add zero points.
Official product page
No retailer or affiliate relationship is active on this page. Price, formula, serving size and certification can differ by country and variant.
