PEScience Prolific Sour Green Apple is an identical, high-stimulant pre-workout formula to its Cotton Candy counterpart, providing comprehensive support for intense training sessions.
Flavour: Cotton Candy
Identical in formulation to the Cotton Candy variant, Prolific Sour Green Apple delivers the same potent 320mg caffeine blend, 6g L-Citrulline for maximal pumps and blood flow, and a sophisticated nootropic complex including L-Theanine, Cognizin Citicoline, and NeuroFactor for enhanced mental acuity and mood stabilization. Betaine Anhydrous and Taurine further bolster physical performance metrics. Its effectiveness for high-intensity workouts is well-supported by the ingredient profile. The primary difference is simply the flavor, and therefore, the analysis and scoring largely mirror the Cotton Candy version. The price per serving remains high, reflecting its comprehensive and high-dosed ingredient profile.
- Features an optimal dose of L-Citrulline (6g) for maximizing muscle pumps, nutrient delivery, and exercise performance.
- Incorporates a strong nootropic complex (L-Theanine, Cognizin, NeuroFactor) that synergistically enhances mental focus, clarity, and reduces potential caffeine side effects.
- Utilizes a potent 320mg blend of two caffeine forms (Infinergy and Anhydrous) for both immediate and sustained energy throughout intense workouts.
- The very high caffeine dosage (320mg) can be overwhelming for individuals with low stimulant tolerance, leading to adverse effects such as jitters, anxiety, or insomnia.
- Carries a high price per serving, positioning it as a premium option that may not be accessible for all consumers despite its comprehensive formulation.
- Due to the extremely high caffeine content, caution is advised for individuals new to pre-workouts or those with known sensitivity to stimulants, as it can cause significant side effects.
- Should not be combined with other stimulant-containing products and should be avoided close to bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances.
