Ryse Loaded Pre

Ryse Loaded Pre — 4.5g Pure Citrulline, Extended-Release Caffeine, No Crash

Loaded Pre is the everyday pre-workout in the Ryse range — properly dosed without being punishing. 4.5g of pure L-Citrulline for pumps, 3.5g of beta-alanine for endurance, 120mg of zumXR® extended-release caffeine, and a nootropic stack led by 10mg Thinkamine™. Fully transparent formula, zero proprietary blends. 30 serves. In stock at TopDog Nutrition.

Pure L-Citrulline, Not Citrulline Malate

A distinction most brands blur, and it matters.

Citrulline malate is citrulline bound to malic acid. Depending on the ratio, only around 55–65% of the stated weight is actual citrulline — so a label claiming 6g of citrulline malate is really giving you under 4g of the active compound.

Loaded Pre uses 4.5g of pure L-Citrulline. All 4.5g is citrulline.

Citrulline converts to arginine in the kidneys, raising nitric oxide production and dilating blood vessels. More blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reaching working muscle, and faster clearance of the metabolic waste that builds as you fatigue. Supplementing citrulline is more effective than supplementing arginine directly, since oral arginine is largely broken down in the gut first.

Extended-Release Caffeine — The No-Crash Mechanism

120mg of patented zumXR® extended-release caffeine. Rather than dumping the whole dose at once, zumXR® releases it gradually, producing a longer, flatter energy curve.

The crash from a conventional pre-workout isn't mysterious — it's the downside of a sharp caffeine spike. Blood levels peak fast, adenosine receptors get flooded, and when it clears you feel the rebound. Extending the release profile flattens both ends.

It also means Loaded Pre sits better for evening training than a high-stim formula. Worth knowing if you train after work.

The Nootropic Stack

Thinkamine™ (10mg) is a trademarked form of vincamine, a compound derived from periwinkle, included for focus and mental drive. Ryse pair it with additional nootropic ingredients for clarity without the wired, scattered feeling a big stimulant dose can produce.

The practical effect is being locked into the session rather than just feeling stimulated by it — a meaningful difference once you've experienced both.

3.5g Beta-Alanine

Above the standard 3.2g clinical dose. Beta-alanine raises intramuscular carnosine, which buffers the hydrogen ion build-up responsible for the burn that ends a set. The practical result is more reps in the 60–240 second effort range — the zone where most hypertrophy work lives.

Expect a noticeable tingle. That's paraesthesia: harmless, temporary, and it diminishes with regular use.

Fully Transparent Labelling

Every dose disclosed. No proprietary blends hiding a pinch of something impressive behind a combined weight. You can check what's in it against the research yourself, which is the only way to actually evaluate a pre-workout.

Loaded Pre or Godzilla?

Different tools for different sessions.

Loaded Pre is the everyday option — moderate stimulant load, extended release, properly dosed pump and endurance ingredients. You can run it several times a week for months without tolerance running away from you.

Godzilla is the flagship: 11g total citrulline and 400mg caffeine at a full 40g serving. Built for the sessions that matter, not for Tuesday.

Most people should own Loaded Pre and treat Godzilla as the occasional step up.

Directions

Mix one scoop with 250–350ml of cold water, 20–30 minutes before training.

Start with half a scoop if you're new to pre-workout or caffeine-sensitive. Don't take within 6 hours of bed, and count your total daily caffeine across coffee and anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions

How strong is it?

Moderate and sustained rather than overwhelming. The extended-release caffeine means it ramps rather than hits. If you want to feel flattened, Godzilla is the one.

Will I crash?

Much less likely than with a conventional high-stim formula — that's what the zumXR® extended release is for. Individual response varies, but the mechanism is genuine.

Why do I tingle?

3.5g of beta-alanine. Normal, harmless, fades within half an hour, and reduces as you use it more often.

Does it contain creatine?

Loaded Pre is built around pump, energy and focus. Take creatine separately and daily — it works through saturation, not acute dosing before a session.

How many serves per tub?

30 serves.
