C4 Ripped Icy Blue Razz
Cellucor
Overview
C4 Ripped is designed to enhance energy and potentially support fat loss through a combination of stimulants, amino acids, and plant extracts. While it includes some clinically-studied ingredients, the proprietary blends make it challenging to establish whether all ingredients are dosed at optimal levels for maximal effectiveness. The formulation relies heavily on caffeine as the main driver of perceived results.

The Bad

Proprietary blends make it difficult to assess individual ingredient dosages
