6g Citrulline, 200mg Caffeine, Full Transparency—Built to Perform

Bucked Up BLACK Edition is a chill-stim pre-workout that puts performance first. The main idea? Give you solid blood-flow support so you actually feel it during your workout, add in some manageable energy, and back it up with focus and endurance helpers instead of just slamming you with tons of stims. That's key because a lot of pres try to wow you with caffeine but skimp on stuff that makes your session better. This one keeps it balanced.

The big player is 6,000mg of citrulline malate. That's the heart of the formula and the smartest dose choice. Citrulline boosts arginine levels better than taking arginine straight, which helps with nitric oxide – that's the stuff that widens blood vessels for better flow. In the gym, that means stronger pumps, more nutrients to your muscles, and better oxygen during sets. At 6g, this is where you start seeing real results from studies; it's a legit dose, not just for show.

Beta-alanine comes in at 2,000mg. It helps make carnosine, which buffers acid buildup in your muscles during intense exercise. That means less of that burning fatigue in sets lasting 1-10 minutes. Studies usually go for 3,200–6,400mg daily, so 2g is solid but not the max. It's helpful, especially if you use it every day to build up carnosine slowly.

Caffeine anhydrous is at 200mg, putting this in the moderate energy zone. It's enough to amp up alertness, drive, reaction time, and that 'let's go' feeling without making it a tolerance-de

Bucked Up BLACK by Bucked Up contains 100mcg Vitamin B12, a effective dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

  • 6,000mg Citrulline Malate — this dose stands out and you'll feel why if you're serious about training. It boosts nitric oxide through arginine, leading to wider blood vessels, killer pumps, and better blood flow to your muscles mid-workout.
  • Real pump support with no hidden blends — Bucked Up BLACK Edition lists the full citrulline dose right there. In a world where brands bury their pump stuff in secrets, this transparency lets you know exactly what you're getting.
  • 200mg Caffeine Anhydrous — gives you solid energy, alertness, and motivation without going overboard. For a lot of people, this is the sweet spot for great workouts minus the crash or messed-up sleep from heavier stim pres.
  • 200mg AlphaSize® Alpha-GPC — a quality choline source for better focus, acetylcholine support (that's brain signaling), and a stronger mind-muscle connection. It makes the whole thing feel precise, especially on technical or high-volume days.
  • 2,000mg Beta-Alanine — helps build carnosine in muscles, which buffers acid to push back that burn in tough sets. Studies aim for 3.2–6.4g daily, so this isn't maxed out, but it's still a good add if you stick with it.
  • 100mcg Methylcobalamin B12 — a strong, active form of B12 to help with energy metabolism and nerve function. It's not the star, but it fits the performance vibe.
  • ActiGin® at 25mg — a branded mix of Panax notoginseng and Rosa roxburghii for workout support and better nutrient use. It adds extra help beyond the main stim and pump ingredients.
  • 100mg Himalayan Rock Salt — a smart touch for hydration with trace minerals and electrolytes. Pre-workouts aren't just about energy; staying hydrated affects how full and strong your session feels.

Who Is This For?

  • Intermediate bodybuilders on hypertrophy programs who want real pumps without heavy stims. The 6,000mg citrulline malate nails it for blood flow, fullness, and mind-muscle in volume sessions.
  • Folks training post-work who need energy that doesn't wreck their night. 200mg caffeine gives a boost without the sleep issues from 350mg+ pres.
  • Athletes prioritizing focus and coordination over pure hype. 200mg AlphaSize® alpha-GPC boosts brain output for sharper lifts and engagement on technical stuff.
  • Users upgrading from basic pres but not into wild high-stims. Simple label, full disclosure, clear ingredients – not a confusing overload.
  • Gym rats blending weights with conditioning who need sustained output. Citrulline malate helps in the moment, beta-alanine builds buffering with steady use.
  • Pump chasers tired of shady blends. Transparent 6g citrulline upfront is what smart buyers want to know it's for real.

How to Use

Mix 1 scoop in 10–14oz cold water and drink 20–30 minutes pre-training. Timing's key – caffeine acts fast, so this lines up energy and focus with your main sets, not warm-ups or after. New to pres or stim-sensitive? Start with half to check the 200mg caffeine and 2,000mg beta-alanine.

Shaker's best for mixing aminos like citrulline malate evenly. More water lightens flavor; less amps it up. Empty stomach speeds it up, but if stims bug you, eat light 60–90 minutes before for a smoother ride. Don't stack with other high-caffeine stuff unless you're tracking it.

For a stronger stack, add daily creatine monohydrate and good hydration. No need to cycle for safety, but caffeine breaks keep the 200mg feeling fresh. Store sealed in a cool, dry spot to keep it fresh.

What to Expect

Minutes 0–10: You down it, start hydrating, and it's mostly just building excitement – maybe a slight warm-up if fasted. Minutes 10–20: Caffeine hits, clears your head, and some folks feel tingles from the 2,000mg beta-alanine. Minutes 20–40: Peak time – energy's up, focus is sharp, and the 6g citrulline malate brings noticeable pumps as sets stack up.

Minutes 40–90: It stays steady, not up-and-down like heavier pres, since 200mg caffeine keeps the drive going without crashes. Days 1–7: Mostly quick wins like energy, focus, and flow, with beta-alanine just starting. Weeks 2–4: Carnosine builds, making high-intensity sets easier to handle before burn-out. It shines with regular use, thanks to beta-alanine's buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Bucked Up BLACK Edition?

Each 1-scoop serving provides 200mg of caffeine anhydrous. That places it in the moderate-stim range: strong enough for most users to feel a real boost in energy, alertness, and training drive, but not as aggressive as the 300–400mg formulas dominating the high-stim category.

Is the 6,000mg citrulline malate dose actually meaningful?

Yes. The 6g citrulline malate dose is the strongest part of the formula and aligns with the range where citrulline-based performance benefits become credible. It supports nitric oxide production, vasodilation, blood flow, and the kind of sustained pump that underdosed formulas struggle to deliver.

Will Bucked Up BLACK Edition make me tingle?

It can. The formula contains 2,000mg beta-alanine, which can cause the harmless tingling sensation known as paresthesia in some users. Not everyone feels it the same way, but if you are sensitive to beta-alanine, start with half a scoop.

Is the beta-alanine dose fully clinical?

Not by classic research standards. Beta-alanine is most often studied in the 3,200–6,400mg daily range, so 2,000mg is below the standard full clinical loading target. It can still contribute over time with consistent use, but it is not a maxed-out dose.

What does AlphaSize® do in this formula?

AlphaSize® is a branded alpha-GPC ingredient included at 200mg to support focus, acetylcholine production, and a sharper mind-muscle connection. In practical terms, it helps the formula feel more precise and mentally locked-in rather than purely stimulant-driven.

Can I take Bucked Up BLACK Edition if I train at night?

That depends on your caffeine tolerance. At 200mg, this formula is more night-trainable than extreme pre-workouts, but caffeine can still affect sleep for many users if taken too late. If you train in the evening, test your response carefully or use a half scoop first.

Is this product fully transparent?

Yes. Bucked Up BLACK Edition uses a fully disclosed label with no proprietary blend, so every listed active ingredient has a stated amount. That is a significant advantage in a category where many formulas still hide dosing behind blends.

What should I stack with this pre-workout for better results?

A standalone creatine monohydrate is the smartest addition for most users. BLACK Edition already covers energy, pump, and some endurance support, while creatine fills in the phosphocreatine side of performance for strength, power, and long-term training output.

Does the taurine dose matter at only 100mg?

Not as a primary performance driver. Taurine has strong evidence in sports nutrition, but it is usually studied around 1,000–3,000mg. At 100mg here, it is best viewed as a minor support ingredient rather than a headline reason to choose the formula.

Who is Bucked Up BLACK Edition best suited for?

It is best for users who want a strong pump, clean moderate energy, and a more refined training experience rather than an all-out high-stim hit. It fits particularly well for bodybuilding-style training, mixed lifting and conditioning, and anyone who wants a transparent formula they can actually evaluate.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.
