RAW Nutrition CBUM Thavage Pre-WorkoutChris Bumstead's pre-workout, and the product that turned RAW Nutrition into one of the fastest-growing brands in the industry. 6 grams of citrulline, 3.2g beta-alanine, 1.5g Nitrosigine and 305mg of caffeine at a full serving.The first thing to understand is the scoop system, because the label confuses people.40 scoops, 20 full servings — and why that mattersThavage is built to be taken as one scoop or two, and the tub is sized accordingly: 40 scoops, or 20 full two-scoop servings.

Most pre-workouts give you one fixed serving — too much for some people, not enough for others. Start with one scoop. If it is not enough, you have somewhere to go.6 grams of citrulline, and why "pure" mattersThis is the headline number and the reason the pumps are what they are.Thavage uses 6,000mg of pure L-citrulline, not citrulline malate. That distinction is worth understanding, because most pre-workouts use the malate form.Citrulline malate is citrulline bonded to malic acid, typically at a 2:1 ratio — meaning a "6g citrulline malate" claim delivers roughly 4g of actual citrulline. To get 6g of citrulline from the malate form you would need around 12g on the label.So when you compare pre-workouts, check whether the label says citrulline or citrulline malate, because the same number means very different things. That single habit will tell you more about a pre-workout than any marketing on the tub.Citrulline converts to arginine in the kidneys, which feeds nitric oxide production and widens blood vessels. It is dose-dependent, and 6g is squarely where the research shows meaningful effects.Nitrosigine works on the same goal by a different route1,500mg of Nitrosigine — inositol-stabilised arginine silicate — is the second nitric oxide ingredient, and this is a clinically dosed amount rather than a label sprinkle.Where citrulline raises arginine indirectly through the kidneys, Nitrosigine supplies a stabilised arginine directly.

Beta-alanine raises muscle carnosine, which buffers the hydrogen ion accumulation that contributes to fatigue in sets lasting roughly one to four minutes.The tingling is paraesthesia — beta-alanine binding to nerve receptors under the skin. It is harmless, it fades within about half an hour, and it diminishes as you become accustomed to the product. It is also the most common reason people think a pre-workout is "working," when in fact the ingredient responsible for that sensation is doing something entirely unrelated to how you feel in the moment.Beta-alanine also works by accumulation over weeks, not acutely.

PRODUCT LABEL

RAW Nutrition CBUM Thavage Pre-Workout

Chris Bumstead's pre-workout, and the product that turned RAW Nutrition into one of the fastest-growing brands in the industry. 6 grams of citrulline, 3.2g beta-alanine, 1.5g Nitrosigine and 305mg of caffeine at a full serving.

The first thing to understand is the scoop system, because the label confuses people.

40 scoops, 20 full servings — and why that matters

Thavage is built to be taken as one scoop or two, and the tub is sized accordingly: 40 scoops, or 20 full two-scoop servings.

One scoop	~153mg caffeine, 3g citrulline, 1.6g beta-alanine	Moderate. A sensible starting point
Two scoops	305mg caffeine, 6g citrulline, 3.2g beta-alanine	Full clinical doses across the board

That flexibility is genuinely useful and rare. Most pre-workouts give you one fixed serving — too much for some people, not enough for others. Start with one scoop. If it is not enough, you have somewhere to go.

6 grams of citrulline, and why "pure" matters

This is the headline number and the reason the pumps are what they are.

Thavage uses 6,000mg of pure L-citrulline, not citrulline malate. That distinction is worth understanding, because most pre-workouts use the malate form.

Citrulline malate is citrulline bonded to malic acid, typically at a 2:1 ratio — meaning a "6g citrulline malate" claim delivers roughly 4g of actual citrulline. To get 6g of citrulline from the malate form you would need around 12g on the label.

So when you compare pre-workouts, check whether the label says citrulline or citrulline malate, because the same number means very different things. That single habit will tell you more about a pre-workout than any marketing on the tub.

Citrulline converts to arginine in the kidneys, which feeds nitric oxide production and widens blood vessels. It is dose-dependent, and 6g is squarely where the research shows meaningful effects.

Nitrosigine works on the same goal by a different route

1,500mg of Nitrosigine — inositol-stabilised arginine silicate — is the second nitric oxide ingredient, and this is a clinically dosed amount rather than a label sprinkle.

Where citrulline raises arginine indirectly through the kidneys, Nitrosigine supplies a stabilised arginine directly. Two pathways toward the same outcome, which is a more sophisticated approach than doubling down on one.

Agmatine sulfate rounds out the pump side.

3.2g beta-alanine — and yes, that is the tingling

3,200mg is the full researched daily dose. Beta-alanine raises muscle carnosine, which buffers the hydrogen ion accumulation that contributes to fatigue in sets lasting roughly one to four minutes.

The tingling is paraesthesia — beta-alanine binding to nerve receptors under the skin. It is harmless, it fades within about half an hour, and it diminishes as you become accustomed to the product. It is also the most common reason people think a pre-workout is "working," when in fact the ingredient responsible for that sensation is doing something entirely unrelated to how you feel in the moment.

Beta-alanine also works by accumulation over weeks, not acutely. Taking it consistently is what raises carnosine; a single dose before a session does very little on its own.

The focus stack

Alpha-GPC — a highly bioavailable choline source, supplying raw material for acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter behind focus and muscle contraction
Huperzine A, 100mcg — slows acetylcholine breakdown, so it pairs logically with the Alpha-GPC rather than duplicating it
L-Tyrosine — precursor to dopamine and noradrenaline, studied for cognitive performance under stress
Taurine — cell volumisation and hydration support
AstraGin — absorption enhancer

Specs (full two-scoop serving)

L-Citrulline	6,000mg (pure, not malate)
Beta-Alanine	3,200mg
Betaine Anhydrous	2,500mg
Nitrosigine	1,500mg
Total caffeine	305mg (260mg anhydrous + 45mg di-caffeine malate)
Huperzine A	100mcg
Also contains	L-Tyrosine, Taurine, Alpha-GPC, Agmatine Sulfate, AstraGin
Servings	40 scoops / 20 full servings
Label	Fully disclosed, no proprietary blends

2,500mg betaine is worth noting — that is the full clinical dose associated with strength and power output, and most pre-workouts underdose it or skip it.

The dual caffeine sources follow the same logic explained on our Caff Plus page: anhydrous for the fast onset, di-caffeine malate releasing more gradually to flatten the curve.

Thavage, Thuper Thavage or the RTD?

Thavage (this one)	305mg caffeine full serving	1 or 2 scoops. The daily driver
Thuper Thavage	400mg caffeine, one scoop only	Double beta-alanine, added creatine and alpha yohimbine. Advanced only
Thavage RTD	305mg caffeine per bottle	Same full serving, ready to drink, no mixing

Thavage is the one to buy first. The scoop flexibility means it suits a far wider range of tolerance than Thuper, which is a fixed single-scoop 400mg product with additional stimulants. The RTD is the same formula for convenience at a higher cost per serving.

How to take it

Start with one scoop in 8 to 10 ounces of water, 20 to 30 minutes before training. Assess tolerance before going to two.
Never more than two scoops in 24 hours.
Count your coffee. A full serving at 305mg is most of the 400mg the FDA cites as a daily ceiling.
Not in the evening. Caffeine's half-life is five to six hours, so 305mg at 5pm still leaves around 150mg at 11pm.
Do not add a pump product. 6g citrulline plus 1.5g Nitrosigine plus agmatine is already three mechanisms. Anything more is wasted.
Take it consistently if the beta-alanine matters to you — carnosine builds over weeks.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants full clinical doses rather than a long ingredient list at token amounts
People who want dosing flexibility — one scoop or two from the same tub
Pump-focused lifters, given 6g pure citrulline plus Nitrosigine
Anyone comparing labels who now knows to check citrulline versus citrulline malate
People who want a fully disclosed label

Who this is not for

Not for beginners at two scoops. 305mg is a serious dose. Start at one.

Not alongside another caffeine source. This replaces your coffee for the day rather than joining it.

Not for anyone caffeine sensitive, training in the evening, or with cardiovascular concerns. Speak to your doctor if you take prescription medication or have a heart condition.

If you dislike the beta-alanine tingle, that is 3.2g and you will feel it. It fades with consistent use.

Tested athletes: check the certification on your specific tub. Ask us and we will confirm what we have in stock.

Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing.

Stack it with: creatine, which is not in this formula. See our creatine range.

Frequently asked questions

How much caffeine is in Thavage?
305mg in a full two-scoop serving, or roughly 153mg in one scoop. It comes from caffeine anhydrous plus di-caffeine malate for a flatter curve.

How many servings are in a tub?
40 scoops, or 20 full two-scoop servings.

What is the difference between citrulline and citrulline malate?
Citrulline malate is citrulline bonded to malic acid, usually 2:1 — so 6g of citrulline malate supplies around 4g of actual citrulline. Thavage uses 6,000mg of pure L-citrulline, which would require roughly 12g of the malate form to match.

Why does it make me tingle?
Beta-alanine at 3,200mg. The sensation is paraesthesia, it is harmless, it fades within about half an hour, and it lessens as you get used to the product.

What is Nitrosigine?
Inositol-stabilised arginine silicate, at a clinically dosed 1,500mg. It supplies arginine directly, where citrulline raises it indirectly — two routes to nitric oxide rather than one.

Should I take one scoop or two?
Start with one. It delivers roughly 153mg caffeine and 3g citrulline, which suits most people. Move to two once you know how you respond.

How is it different from Thuper Thavage?
Thuper is 400mg caffeine in a single fixed scoop, with double the beta-alanine and citrulline, added creatine and alpha yohimbine. Thavage is the daily driver with scoop flexibility; Thuper is for advanced users only.

Does it contain creatine?
No. Thuper Thavage does; this one does not. Take creatine separately and daily.
