Description
Essential Charged is the stepped-up sibling to RAW Nutrition's Essential Pre-Workout: nearly double the caffeine at 350mg, plus Dynamine and theobromine layered onto the same citrulline and beta-alanine pump base.
Alpha-GPC is added for cognitive focus, making this the higher-intensity option in the same family rather than a separate product line. Icy Lemon Slush flavour, 25 servings per tub.

Essential Charged is the stepped-up sibling to RAW Nutrition's Essential Pre-Workout: nearly double the caffeine at 350mg, plus Dynamine and theobromine layered onto the same citrulline and beta-alanine pump base.
Alpha-GPC is added for cognitive focus, making this the higher-intensity option in the same family rather than a separate product line. Icy Lemon Slush flavour, 25 servings per tub.
RAW Nutrition Essential Charged Pre-Workout in Icy Lemon Slush is a 406g tub delivering 25 servings, built for lifters who already know their way around a scoop and want more out of training than a standard pre-workout offers. Each serve carries 350mg of caffeine alongside 6g of L-Citrulline, positioning it as the higher-intensity, higher-stimulant option for New Zealand gym-goers chasing longer, harder sessions without switching brands.
Caffeine anhydrous is the backbone of any high-stim formula, acting on the central nervous system to blunt perceived fatigue and sharpen reaction time during heavy sets. At 350mg per serve, RAW Nutrition Essential Charged Pre-Workout leans on this stimulant base, then layers in Dynamine and theobromine, two compounds that work alongside caffeine to extend how the energy curve feels across a session rather than spiking and dropping early.
Citrulline converts to arginine in the body and supports nitric oxide production, which is the physiology behind the "pump" lifters chase, wider blood vessels moving more oxygen and nutrients into working muscle. Beta-alanine buffers hydrogen ion buildup in muscle tissue, which is why it is dosed here at 3.2g, a level associated with the tingling sensation some people notice and with delayed fatigue in higher-rep training. Alpha-GPC and L-Tyrosine round out the formula to support the mental side of a session, not just the physical.
This is the step-up formula in the Essential range, aimed at people who have run the standard version and want more caffeine and a longer-lasting energy profile without losing the pump and endurance ingredients that made the original work. Everything in the per-serve profile is dosed at levels you can see on the nutrition panel rather than hidden inside a proprietary blend.
Mix one scoop (17.6g) with water around 20 to 30 minutes before training, and start with a partial scoop if you are new to 350mg caffeine doses or training later in the day. Because RAW Nutrition Essential Charged Pre-Workout does not include creatine, it pairs well with a daily dose from our creatine range, and lifters chasing more from their pump and hydration setup often add a scoop from our electrolytes range on longer or hotter sessions.
If your training block also includes higher training volume, some lifters stack this with a separate amino product intra-workout, while others prefer to browse the wider pre-workout range on nzsupps.co.nz to compare the full Essential lineup before committing to the Charged version. Icy Lemon Slush is the flavour carried in this line, and RAW Nutrition Essential Charged Pre-Workout is built to slot straight into an existing pre-training routine.
Nutrition per serving. Key ingredients: Caffeine, Citrulline, Beta-Alanine, Tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, Theobromine. Flavour: Workout - Icy Lemon Slush.
Mix 1 scoop (17.6g) with 200-300ml cold water, 20-30 minutes before training. Do not exceed 1 scoop in 24 hours.
Made for lifters who've built a tolerance to moderate-stim pre-workouts and want a stronger, longer-lasting energy curve for heavy training days. Start with a half scoop if you're new to high-stim formulas.
Nearly double the caffeine (350mg vs 200mg) plus Dynamine and theobromine for a stronger, longer energy curve.
25 servings at 17.6g per scoop.
Yes, this is the higher-caffeine option in the Essential range.
Yes. The formula does not contain creatine, so a daily creatine dose (from our /collections/creatine range) sits cleanly alongside it. Take your creatine any time of day and your pre-workout 20 to 30 minutes before training, since they work through different pathways.
With 350mg of caffeine per serve, an evening session can carry that stimulant load close to bedtime. If you train at night, consider a half scoop or shift your session earlier so the caffeine and Dynamine have time to clear before you sleep.
No. The nutrition panel lists only the active ingredients, electrolytes (calcium, chloride, sodium) and B12, with no protein, carb or fat content. Pair it with a protein shake from /collections/protein if you want a full pre-training routine.
Keep the tub sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, the same as any powdered supplement. New Zealand's humidity can clump powders if the lid is left open, so scoop quickly and reseal after every use.
