Then you probably already know pre-workout as the drink you prepare just before your session. C4 Original Watermelon is the watermelon version of the well-known C4 line by Cellucor. This large 396-gram container provides 60 scoops, so it will last you a long time if you train several times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a pre-workout actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pre-workout is a powder that you mix with water and drink shortly before your workout. The word says it all: pre means before, workout is your training. Most pre-workouts are based on a combination of caffeine and amino acids, sometimes supplemented with vitamins. C4 Original follows that classic recipe. What you won't find in it: sugar or protein powder. So it is not a replacement for a meal or a protein shake, but a separate drink that you use alongside your regular nutrition. In short: a pre-workout like this is a fixed part of your preparation, just like tying your shoes and filling your water bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in one scoop of C4 Original\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne level scoop weighs 6.6 grams for this flavor. It contains 1600mg CarnoSyn® beta-alanine (a branded form of beta-alanine, an amino acid that your body also produces itself). In addition, 1500mg micronized creatine monohydrate, which amounts to 1319mg pure creatine. Micronized means that the powder is extra finely ground, so that it dissolves more easily in water. Furthermore, you will find 1000mg L-arginine hydrochloride, 200mg N-acetyl-L-tyrosine (a form of the amino acid tyrosine that dissolves better in water) and 150mg caffeine. The list is completed with vitamin C, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid and vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. And vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatermelon, how it tastes and mixes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watermelon flavor is sweet and fresh. That sweetness comes from sucralose and acesulfame-K; there is no sugar in the ingredients list. The color comes from beet red. The fresh touch is provided by citric acid. You mix one scoop with 175ml of cold water. Good to know: the flavors of C4 Original have the same active ingredients per scoop. What differs are the flavorings, the coloring, the sweeteners and therefore the weight of a scoop, which is around 6.6 to 6.9 grams per flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much caffeine is in one scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder how much caffeine is in C4. In short: 150mg per 6.6-gram scoop. That is roughly comparable to one and a half mugs of filter coffee. Because the amount per scoop is fixed, you know exactly what you are taking in, as long as you level off the scoop. A pre-workout with this amount of caffeine is suitable for athletes who like to know what they are getting into. By the way: caffeine is listed as anhydrous caffeine on the ingredients list. That is the same substance as in coffee and tea, only as a dry powder without moisture, so that you can easily dose it accurately in a scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is the classic C4 formula with a watermelon flavor, in a large container. With 60 servings in a 396-gram container, you have a supply for about two months if you train daily. The composition per scoop is clearly stated on the label, so you know exactly what you are drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellucor","offers":[{"title":"Watermelon","offer_id":54826835116370,"sku":"Cellucor-002","price":37.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/Cellucor-002.jpg?v=1790248939","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/c4-original-pre-workout-watermelon-396g","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
