Essential is Raw's straightforward pre-workout: 4 g L-citrulline, 3.2 g beta-alanine, 2 g L-tyrosine, 1 g taurine and 200 mg of natural caffeine from green coffee bean in a 13.3 g scoop. Every active is listed with its dose on the panel.
White Cherry is the flavour Raw built with Sam Sulek. Thirty serves per tub, one scoop in water about twenty minutes before you train.
Essential is named the way it is because Raw kept it to the actives most people actually want in a pre-workout. One 13.3 g scoop carries 4 g of L-citrulline, 3.2 g of beta-alanine, 2 g of L-tyrosine, 1 g of taurine, 200 mg of natural caffeine from green coffee bean extract and 200 mg of Himalayan pink salt. Every figure sits on the panel with its own line, so there is no blend hiding a light dose.
L-citrulline is the blood flow ingredient and is the reason the pump builds through the first few sets. Beta-alanine at 3.2 g is the full daily research dose and is what produces the skin tingle some people get. L-tyrosine and taurine sit on the focus side of the formula, and the caffeine is a moderate 200 mg rather than the 350 mg plus that some tubs push.
White Cherry came out of the Sam Sulek collaboration and drinks sweet rather than sour. One scoop in 300 to 400 ml of water shakes clear enough to drink on the way to the gym.
A good fit if you want a real dose of citrulline and beta-alanine without a caffeine load that follows you into the evening.
Nutrition per serving. Key ingredients: L-Citrulline, Beta-Alanine, L-Tyrosine, Taurine, Natural Caffeine, Himalayan Pink Salt. Flavour: Workout Sulek Edition - White Cherry.
Mix one scoop with 300 to 400 ml of water and drink about 20 minutes before training. Start with half a scoop the first time to see how the caffeine and beta-alanine sit with you. Do not take more than one scoop in a day, and keep an eye on caffeine from other sources.
Lifters who want a properly dosed citrulline and beta-alanine pre-workout with sensible caffeine. Good for late afternoon and early evening sessions where a 350 mg tub would keep you awake, and a reasonable starting point if you are newer to stimulant pre-workouts.
200 mg, sourced from green coffee bean extract. That is roughly two cups of coffee.
That is the beta-alanine at 3.2 g. It is a normal, harmless sensation that fades after 20 to 30 minutes and settles down as you keep using it.
Yes. The creatine tub is stimulant free, so adding it does not change the caffeine in your scoop.
Yes. The Sam Sulek edition is the standard Essential formula in a flavour made for the collaboration.
