C4 Ultimate Carbonated Sour Batch Bro’s Energy Drink
Taste
Sour Batch Bro’s - This flavor is exactly what you’d expect it to be. The Candy Shop Flavors are made to replicate specific candy that has been released. If you like sour patch kids candy, then this is a flavor you will enjoy. The sour is just right in this product, but I did start to notice a sour apple aftertaste. The combination of the sweet candy initial taste and the green apple aftertaste was incredibly refreshing. After having the powder and the carbonated can the can does get a slight edge. Both are absolutely dynamite if you enjoy a sweet-sour/green apple flavor.
Formula
3.2 Beta-Alanine – Designed to delay the onset of fatigue, resulting in improved power and performance
6g Citrulline Malate – Supports an increase in nitric oxide levels, pumps, and delays lactic acid build up
1.5 Betaine – Maintains your cells’ electrolyte concentration and supports hydration
1g Argining Alpha-Ketoglutarate – Nitric Oxide Enhancer
1g Taurine – Improve Hydration and Reduces Fatigue
300mg Caffeine
Alpha GPC, Choline, Huperzine A (Nootropics to enhance caffeine half-life)
Rauwolfia (Increase Energy & Mood)
Compared to a regular C4 Can this is a major upgrade. The formula is opened up to show you exact amounts of Citruline, Beta-Alanine, Betaine, Arginine, and Taurine you get in a single can. There are additions of nootropics and Alpha-Yohimbine to improve mood, energy, and cognitive enhancement.
Cost
C4 Ultimate Cans can cost $35-$40 a Case prior to any retail discount. This will also depend on where you buy them from and the current promotions going on. I can normally get them at $30 a case which is much more affordable then buying local or from a gym where you will pay upward to $5-6 a can. This specific flavor is a Vitamin Shoppe Exclusive (For the time being)… Therefore you will have to see what sales you can find through that specific store or order direct from Cellucor.
