C4 Original is the pre-workout that put Cellucor on the map, and it is still one of the most recognised energy formulas in the gym. One scoop delivers a hard-hitting mix of energy, pumps and endurance to help you push harder and lift heavier.

Cellucor C4 Original - Blue Raspberry, 273g (30 Serves) is a pre-workout powder built for anyone who trains hard and wants a dependable hit of energy before they walk into the gym. Each of the 30 scoops in this tub delivers 200mg of caffeine anhydrous alongside a full stack of performance ingredients, so if your current pre-workout leaves you flat by the second set, Cellucor C4 Original is worth a look.
Caffeine anhydrous is a central nervous system stimulant that blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, the same receptors that build up over a session and make you feel tired. With 200mg per serve, Cellucor C4 Original gives you roughly the caffeine content of two cups of coffee in one scoop, timed to hit as you're loading your first working set rather than trickling in over an hour. Beta-alanine works differently: it raises carnosine levels inside muscle tissue, and carnosine buffers the hydrogen ions that build up during high-rep, high-intensity work. Dosed at 2g per serve as CarnoSyn beta-alanine, it's there to help you hold form and output through the back half of a set instead of folding early to burning legs or lungs.
The Velox blend inside this formula pairs 1.2g of L-citrulline with 1.2g of L-arginine, two amino acids that feed the nitric oxide pathway your body uses to dilate blood vessels and push more blood into working muscle, which is what a pump actually is under the skin. Sitting alongside that is 1g of creatine as creatine nitrate (NO3-T), a form that combines creatine's role in fast ATP regeneration for short, powerful efforts with a nitrate group that also supports blood flow. 500mg of L-tyrosine, an amino acid the brain uses as a building block for dopamine and noradrenaline, is included for mental focus under stress, backed by 225mg of choline plus vitamin B6, folate and B12 to round out the cognitive side of the formula.
Cellucor C4 Original is one of Cellucor's best known pre-workout formulas, and Blue Raspberry mixes into a straightforward, sweet-tart drink that goes down clean in water. Each tub runs to 30 serves, so a single container covers a full month of single-scoop sessions before you need to reorder. A few details set this particular formula apart from a lot of entry-level stimulant powders on the shelf:
Cellucor C4 Original - Blue Raspberry uses artificial sweeteners rather than sugar, which is part of why a full scoop only costs you 10 calories, and malic acid and citric acid give the Blue Raspberry flavour its sharp, tart edge instead of a flat, syrupy sweetness.
Take Cellucor C4 Original 20 to 30 minutes before you train so the caffeine and the Velox blend have time to reach the bloodstream by the time you're warming up. If you're new to stimulant pre-workouts or training later in the day, start with half a scoop and assess your tolerance before moving to a full serve; at a full 9.1g scoop the caffeine load is high enough that most people don't need to double up. Because the creatine content here sits well under a standalone maintenance dose, lifters chasing a full creatine protocol often pair Cellucor C4 Original with a dedicated product from our creatine range and let the pre-workout carry energy and focus on training days.
This formula sits inside our wider pre-workout range if you want to compare it against other options, and it stacks cleanly with a shake from our protein range once the session is done and recovery starts. However you build the stack around it, Cellucor C4 Original is meant to be the energy and focus anchor of the session, not something you need to layer three other stimulant products on top of.
Mix 1 scoop with 175 to 240ml of cold water and drink 20 to 30 minutes before training. If you are new to C4 or sensitive to stimulants, start with half a scoop to assess your tolerance. Do not exceed 1 scoop per day, and avoid other caffeine sources while using it.
Lifters and gym-goers who want a reliable, mid-to-high energy pre-workout for weights, training and cardio. With 200mg of caffeine it is a genuine pick-me-up, so if you are caffeine-sensitive or training in the evening, start with half a scoop. It mixes clean and makes your pre-workout something to look forward to.
200mg of caffeine anhydrous per scoop, roughly two cups of coffee. Start with half a scoop if you are unsure of your tolerance.
That is the beta-alanine, a normal and harmless sensation called paraesthesia. It fades as your body adapts.
Yes. The Velox citrulline and arginine blend plus creatine nitrate support nitric oxide and blood flow for fuller pumps.
Yes. Just begin with half a scoop to see how you respond before moving to a full serve.
Yes, 1g of creatine as creatine nitrate (NO3-T) per serve, alongside the Velox blend of citrulline and arginine. That's under a typical 3-5g maintenance dose, so lifters running a dedicated creatine protocol usually pair it with a separate creatine product rather than relying on C4 Original alone.
Each 9.1g scoop comes in at 10 calories, made mostly from the active ingredient blend rather than sugar, since the formula is sweetened artificially. That makes it easy to fit into a calorie-tracked cut or a low-carb training block without touching your daily targets.
Yes. It's designed as a pre-training energy and focus formula, so it stacks cleanly with a post-workout protein shake or a separate creatine product if you want a full 3-5g daily dose beyond the 1g already included per serve.
Yes, this 273g, 30-serve tub of Cellucor C4 Original ships to addresses across New Zealand through NZ Supps. Exact delivery timeframes depend on your location and the shipping method chosen at checkout, so check the options shown before you complete your order.
Keep the tub sealed, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and scoop with a dry spoon each time. Moisture is the main risk to a powder formula like this one, so avoid storing it in a humid bathroom or near the stove.
With 200mg of caffeine per full serve, Cellucor C4 Original is a strong stimulant dose, so evening training in New Zealand is where a half scoop makes the most sense to avoid disrupting sleep. Full scoops suit morning or early-afternoon sessions best.
