Assault Blue Arctic Rasberry
MusclePharm
Overview
MusclePharm Assault contains several well-researched ingredients for pre-workout benefits, particularly creatine and beta-alanine. However, the use of proprietary blends for the majority of the formula means that the precise dosages of many ingredients are not disclosed, which significantly hinders the ability to confirm their clinical effectiveness. While some claims like superior recovery and lean muscle mass are made for BCAAs and patented creatine forms, the specifics on how much of each is present are unclear. The stated 4g of Beta-Alanine and 5g of creatine (from Creapure and Con-Crete) for a full scoop are promising, suggesting research-backed doses for these components, but the remainder of the 23-gram blend is hidden.
