Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD - Cotton Candy is a ready-to-drink pre-workout from Cellucor, built for lifters who want a real pre-workout dose without measuring a scoop. Each 473 mL can delivers 150 mg of caffeine anhydrous alongside 2000 mg of CarnoSyn beta-alanine, so you get a genuine training stimulant profile straight from the fridge. It suits gym-goers who want convenience on a busy morning or a quick can before an afternoon session.

How Cellucor Pre-Workout works

Caffeine anhydrous is a central nervous system stimulant that blocks adenosine receptors, which is what produces the alert, ready-to-train feeling shortly after you drink it. In Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD, that 150 mg dose sits alongside 1650 mg of L-citrulline, an amino acid your body converts toward nitric oxide production, supporting blood flow to working muscle during a set.

Beta-alanine works on a different timeline. Regular use raises the carnosine content of skeletal muscle, which helps buffer the acid build-up that contributes to fatigue during high-rep training. Betaine anhydrous (BetaPower) is included at 1250 mg for its role in cellular hydration, rounding out a formula built from ingredients with real research behind them rather than a proprietary blend that hides individual doses.

Why choose Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD

Choosing a carbonated format over a powder comes down to convenience. Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD Cotton Candy arrives pre-mixed and pre-dosed, so there is no scoop to level and no shaker to wash. The nutrition panel is fully disclosed, and a few details go beyond the headline actives.

  • Vitamin B3 (30 mg, 200% RDI) and Vitamin B12 (6 mcg, 250% RDI) are included alongside the performance ingredients
  • 50 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is added, an amino acid included for mental focus during training
  • 0 g of protein, fat and carbohydrate, plus 0 mg sodium, keep the panel simple to read at a glance

Together, that means a stimulant dose sits alongside ingredients aimed at blood flow and training endurance, all in one 473 mL can rather than separate tubs.

Getting the most from it

Most people open a can of Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD around 20 to 30 minutes before training, which gives the 150 mg of caffeine time to take effect before the first set. Because it carries no protein or carbohydrate itself, it pairs naturally with something from our protein range afterwards, or with a creatine routine if you already run one, since creatine is not part of this formula.

If your shelf already holds powdered formulas, treat Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD as the grab-and-go option on time-poor days, and browse the wider pre-workout range if you want to compare doses and formats side by side.

Nutrition per serving. Per serving (1 can (473 mL)): 0 g sugar. Key ingredients: Caffeine, Beta-Alanine, L-Citrulline, Betaine, L-Tyrosine.

Drink one chilled can roughly 20 to 30 minutes before training, or sip through your workout. Start with half a can the first time if you are new to beta-alanine. As it contains caffeine, do not exceed one can per day and account for your total daily caffeine intake.

Lifters and gym-goers who want pre-workout performance in a grab-and-go can. It is ideal before training when you do not feel like mixing a powder, and the carbonated, zero-sugar format makes it an easy upgrade over a regular energy drink. The 150mg caffeine keeps it manageable for most people. Best ice cold.

Why does my skin tingle?

That harmless tingle is from beta-alanine (paraesthesia) and is completely normal. It is not an allergic reaction.

Is this a real pre-workout?

Yes. Unlike most energy drinks it includes performance doses of beta-alanine, citrulline and betaine, so it works as a ready-to-drink pre-workout.

Does it have sugar?

No. It is sugar-free with just 30 calories per 473ml can.

How much caffeine is in a can?

150mg of caffeine anhydrous per 473ml can.

Can I stack Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD with a creatine supplement?

Yes. Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD Cotton Candy does not contain creatine, so it works well alongside a separate creatine routine rather than replacing one. Add your usual creatine dose on its own schedule and use the can for the caffeine, beta-alanine and citrulline dose around training.

Is Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD suitable for an early morning gym session in New Zealand?

It can be, though 150 mg of caffeine anhydrous is a full stimulant dose for most people. If you are sensitive to caffeine or training very early, start with how you usually respond to a strong coffee before your first full can.

How should I store Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD once it's delivered in New Zealand?

Keep the can upright in a cool, dry spot out of direct sun, the same as any carbonated drink. Refrigerating it before training is optional, but many people prefer it cold. Once opened, drink it in one sitting since it is a single 473 mL serving.

How does Cellucor C4 Carbonated RTD compare with a powdered pre-workout scoop?

The active doses work the same way, but format differs. This can is pre-mixed and carbonated with 150 mg caffeine, 2000 mg beta-alanine and 1650 mg L-citrulline already dissolved, so there is no mixing and no shaker required.

Buy It

This and the green apple are by far the best tasting creatine’s on the market. Pick it up, you won’t regret it.

Cyremmy
No filler ingredients listed

I’m sure this product works great for most people, but I had a serious allergic reaction to one of the fillers in it that aren’t listed and ended up in the ER, I still don’t know what exact ingredient caused it as there are no ingredients listed besides the creatine in the flavorless one, so idk what to stay away from should I try to take other creatine supplements.

Top notch flavor and definitely seeing the results

Quality creatine and great flavor. Dissolves quickly and is enjoyable to take! I buy two at a time and the price is affordable! Definitely recommend this product! The green apple is fantastic too!

No scoop

I purchased this product this week. The product itself seems fine. The issue is you did not supply a scoop in order to measure the product. You also didn’t say is it half an ounce 1 ounce 1 tablespoon 1 teaspoon cell? How can you possibly get a good review when you’re incapable of providing what’s needed to utilize your product?

Good

The taste is good. Nice packaging and dissolves pretty fast. Consistency and ingredients looks good. Only problem is it makes me itchy however most creatines make me itchy.

Pretty good overall

Got this one for my husband. He says it tastes pretty good. He also says that it dissolves well and doesn’t clump. He has a favorite brand that he says gets 5 stars which is why this one only got 4 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok

I didn’t really see a big difference and the taste is just fine. Not something I would necessarily include in my day to day routine and supplements

Good

I didn’t really like the flavor of this but I gave this to my friend to try and they really liked it. I was happy to pass the item rather than wasting it.

A good pre-

I like this! I used to use a different pre-workout that I can’t remember. But, this one was good. It kept me energized. It kept me focused, and it kept me going through the day. I tend to be super sleepy and have a little motivation, but taking this gave me the address I needed. It wasn’t gross at all, which I’m super sensitive about. It mixed easily with cold water. And I think the price is good for what you get! I also appreciate the packaging as it’s easy to use and looks nice on the counter

Tasty and not chalky creatine powder

I am really lucky to have tried this product for free from Influenster. I have tried a few creatine powders and have found them to be gritty or chalky. I am a really big fan of this one! It mixes super well with water at any temperature, there’s literally no grit or residue for me so I don’t mind putting it in my water bottle. Beyond the taste, I’ve noticed that it’s helped me with my gym days, and I’ve notice improved endurance especially after runs or lifting. I really like the blue raspberry flavor and will definitely be purchasing!
