Cellucor C4

**UPDATE** Cellucor has removed  1, 3-Dimethylamylamine (Geranium) from C4. Could this be a sign of things to come for the other popular Geranium containing supplements like Jack3d or Oxy Elite Pro?

So What else is different? Caffeine anhydrous has gone from 100mg per scoop to 135mg per scoop and Synephrine HCL has been added. Thats pretty much it. For all you stimulant junkies this stuff is probably going to be weaker than the old version that is described below.

Cellucor C4 Extreme contains creatine, nitric oxide stimulators, energy compounds and an compounds to promote fast absorption for the best workouts possible.
C4 extreme contains novel compounds like NO3. Many of us have never heard of NO3. Cellucor says that NO3 is Nitrate, which is supposed to produce muscle pumps and make C4 extreme more effective. NO3 has also been combined with Creatine to form Creatine Nitrate. This Creatine can be absorbed by the body more effeciently to minimize side effects.

What does C4 Extreme contain?

Some of the usual suspects, Beta Alanine, Arginine, Xanthinol Nicotinate (Niacin), as well as the Creatine Nitrate compound mentioned above.

C4 Taste

C4 Extreme actually tastes good. This is a surprise considering most of the concentrated pre workouts like Jack3d and SSIN Juice leave a lot to be desired in the taste department.

C4 Mixability

It mixed pretty easily and it doesn’t seem gritty at all. Most of us have didn’t really have any mixing issue with the other concentrated pre workout supplements either. C4 falls in line with the rest of those supplements.

More about C4′s ingredients

Creatine Nitrate
As mentioned above when Nitrate is combined with Creatine it makes for a highly absorbable creatine AND a compound that can potentially increase your body’s level of Nitric Oxide. You also get the benefits of Creatine without the side effects that can sometimes come with taking the compound.

Arginine
More specifically Arginine AKG…We all know what Arginine can do for us and we know why it is in this product.

Beta Alanine
Beta Alanine increases carnosine levels in the muscle. It buffers lactic acid thereby increasing endurance.

N Acetyl L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is also in several pre workout supplements. Tyrosine helps with producing energy hormones in the body, hormones like epinephrine. Tyrosine can possibly be used to promote the release of human growth hormone (HGH).

1, 3-Dimethylamylamine
This is geranium, the compound introduced in Jack3d that made it so popular. This is one of the popular energy producing compounds on the market today.

Also included In C4 are caffeine, vitamin C, Niacin, L- Dopa, Folic Acid, Rauwoliscine (a form of Yohimbine), and B12.

So far C4 seems to be working very well. Some of us have noticed that 2 scoops is too much, one scoop seems to fit the bill nicely. So far no one has complained of a crash with this product. The consensus is that C4 Extreme is more effective than Jack3d. If you have to choose between Jack3d and C4, go with C4.
