C4 Original Pre Workout by Cellucor is one of the world's most recognised American pre-workout supplements, designed to deliver explosive energy, muscular endurance, sharper focus, and powerful training performance.


Featuring 150mg Caffeine, 1,600mg CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine, 1,500mg Creatine Monohydrate and 1,000mg L-Arginine HCl, C4 Original combines essential performance ingredients in one balanced formula.

Developed by Cellucor, one of the most recognised names in American sports nutrition, C4 Original is a popular choice for gym enthusiasts looking for reliable pre-workout energy without extreme stimulant combinations.

What Is C4 Original Pre-Workout?


C4 Original is a multi-ingredient pre-workout formulated to support energy, strength, endurance and mental alertness during demanding training sessions.

Its combination of caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine, and amino acids targets key aspects of exercise performance.

What can you expect?

  • Explosive Energy: 150 mg caffeine for increased alertness and pre-training stimulation.

  • Muscular Endurance: CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine supports carnosine production and performance during high-intensity exercise.

  • Strength and Power: Creatine supports ATP regeneration during repeated bursts of intense physical activity.

  • Muscle Pump Support: L-Arginine contributes to nitric oxide production.

  • Mental Focus: Tyrosine supports neurotransmitter pathways involved in concentration.

  • Balanced Stimulant Profile: A straightforward alternative to extreme high-stimulant pre-workouts.


C4 Original suits adult gym-goers and strength athletes who want a conventional caffeine-based pre-workout.

C4 Original Supplement Facts


Serving Size: 1 Scoop (6.6 g on the supplied nutrition panel)
Servings Per Container: 60

Active Ingredients Per Serving



  • CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine – 1,600 mg

  • Creatine Monohydrate – 1,500 mg

    • Providing Creatine – 1,319 mg



  • L-Arginine Hydrochloride – 1,000 mg

  • L-Tyrosine (listed as N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine in the ingredients) – 200 mg

  • Caffeine Anhydrous – 150 mg


Vitamins Per Serving



  • Vitamin C – 38 mg

  • Niacin (Vitamin B3) – 2.4 mg

  • Vitamin B6 – 0.5 mg

  • Folic Acid – 100 µg

  • Vitamin B12 – 1.3 µg


Ingredient Breakdown – How Does C4 Original Work?



  • CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine – 1,600 mg: Patented beta-alanine used to increase muscle carnosine levels with consistent intake. Carnosine helps buffer acidity generated during high-intensity exercise, supporting muscular endurance and performance across demanding sets. Beta-alanine can produce a temporary tingling sensation known as paraesthesia.

  • Creatine Monohydrate – 1,500 mg: One of the most extensively researched sports nutrition ingredients. Creatine helps regenerate ATP, the primary energy source used during short bursts of intense muscular activity. It supports strength, explosive power and repeated high-intensity exercise performance. The amount in one serving is below the commonly used 3 g daily intake for established creatine performance benefits.

  • L-Arginine Hydrochloride – 1,000 mg: An amino acid involved in nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels and improve circulation, making arginine a popular ingredient in muscle pump-oriented pre-workout formulas.

  • L-Tyrosine – 200 mg: A precursor to dopamine and noradrenaline, neurotransmitters involved in alertness, attention and the body’s response to demanding situations and included in C4 Original’s focus-oriented ingredient profile.

  • Caffeine Anhydrous – 150 mg: The primary energy ingredient in C4 Original. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, increases alertness and can help improve exercise performance while reducing perceived exertion.

  • Vitamin C – 38 mg: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

  • Niacin – 2.4 mg: Supports normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

  • Vitamin B6 – 0.5 mg: Contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism, energy production and the reduction of tiredness.

  • Folic Acid – 100 µg: Supports normal psychological function and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

  • Vitamin B12 – 1.3 µg: Contributes to normal energy metabolism, nervous system function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.


What Can You Expect from C4 Original?


C4 Original is designed to provide noticeable pre-training stimulation without relying on an extreme caffeine dose.
Its 150 mg caffeine content supports alertness and training energy, while beta-alanine supports muscular endurance with consistent supplementation.
Creatine supports short-duration, high-intensity exercise, and arginine contributes to the formula’s muscle pump focus.
The result is a versatile pre-workout suited to resistance training, strength workouts and high-intensity gym sessions.

C4 Original vs Hardcore Pre-Workouts


Not every gym session needs 350–500 mg of caffeine or a mix of stimulants.
C4 Original offers a different training experience, with a moderate 150 mg caffeine serving and a straightforward performance-ingredient profile.
It suits gym-goers who want a conventional, caffeine-based pre-workout rather than the aggressive stimulation of advanced high-stim formulas.
For those exploring stronger or more specialised pre-workouts, Cross The Limits also offers an extensive selection of American hardcore performance supplements.

How to Take C4 Original


Mix one level scoop with about 150–200 ml of water and drink it about 20–30 minutes before training.
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended daily serving. Avoid combining with additional stimulant products and account for caffeine consumed from other sources.
Cellucor C4 Original – Explosive Energy. Muscular Endurance. Training Performance.
