C4 Extreme Icy Blue Razz
Cellucor
Overview
C4 Extreme aims to improve exercise performance through a combination of ingredients such as caffeine, beta-alanine, creatine nitrate, and arginine AKG. While caffeine provides energy and some ingredients have research supporting their ergogenic effects, the proprietary blend makes it difficult to evaluate the specific dosages and effectiveness of other ingredients, limiting the certainty of its performance benefits.
The Good
Contains caffeine, which has proven ergogenic effects
Includes beta-alanine, which has potential to improve muscular endurance
Includes creatine nitrate, which may improve power output
The Bad
Potential for jitters and anxiety due to caffeine content
May cause paresthesia (tingling) from beta-alanine
Contains an 'Explosive Energy Blend' which is a proprietary blend making it difficult to assess the dosage of individual ingredients
Is it for you?
Best For: Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, individuals seeking energy and focus for workouts
Skip If: Sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or nursing, have heart conditions, or are under 18
