423mg total caffeine with solid beta-alanine and sharp focus boosters

Darkside Supps Ultra Pre Xtreme is a straight-up, high-stim pre-workout with everything listed out. It's all about ramping up your workout intensity with layered stims and brain boosters, plus solid support from beta-alanine and citrulline. This isn't for pumps only or beginners. It's for pushing hard sessions where you need energy, focus, and the ability to keep going.

It kicks off with 4,000mg of L-Citrulline Malate 2:1. Since it's the malate form, you get about 2.7g of actual citrulline, which is under the 3-6g pure citrulline you see in studies. That means it's not the biggest pump dose out there. But you still get better nitric oxide, blood flow, and pumps than a pure stim product. Plus, 50mg AstraGin helps with absorption, making that dose work better.

Beta-Alanine is at 3,200mg, the standard dose from research to boost muscle carnosine levels over time. This is a smart move in the formula. Beta-alanine doesn't give instant energy like caffeine. It helps buffer acid in your muscles during tough sets. In the gym, that means you handle the burn better on high reps, sprints, or dense workouts. You'll feel the tingle right away, but the real benefits come after using it daily for weeks.

For mental edge, it's got 1,000mg L-Tyrosine, 600mg Alpha GPC 50% (about 300mg active), and 20mg Huperzine A 1% (200mcg active). Tyrosine helps make dopamine and norepinephrine, which is key when you're pounding stims and training hard. Studies on tyrosine for workouts are mixed, but it fits here.

Darkside Ultra Pre by Darkside contains 30mg Niacin, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

  • 3,200mg Beta-Alanine — this is the dose studies use to build muscle carnosine. Carnosine fights acid buildup, so you'll push through the burn on high-rep sets and intervals without quitting early.
  • 423mg Total Caffeine from two types — 350mg anhydrous for quick kick, plus 100mg dicaffeine malate for longer energy. It's better than single-source stuff if you want a strong start that doesn't fade mid-workout.
  • 1,000mg L-Tyrosine — a good dose for brain support in a high-stim pre. It helps make key brain chemicals, especially when training stress is high.
  • 600mg Alpha GPC 50% — gives about 300mg active, adding real choline for better focus and muscle connection, not just stim buzz.
  • Huperzine A at 200mcg real dose — from 20mg of 1% extract, it's spot-on for nootropics. It keeps acetylcholine around longer, making the Alpha GPC hit harder and last.
  • 4,000mg L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 — not the max for pumps, but solid in a stim-heavy pre. It boosts nitric oxide and blood flow, so your workouts feel fuller than with just stims.
  • 300mg Eria Jarensis Extract — this amps up the aggressive feel. You'll notice better mood, drive, and readiness when it's mixed with high caffeine.
  • 60mg Hordenine HCl — pairs great with stims to make energy feel stronger. It sets this apart from basic caffeine-only pres.

Darkside Ultra Pre by Darkside contains 30mg Niacin, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.

Who Is This For?

  • Seasoned bodybuilders in big volume phases needing a pre that keeps fire through long workouts. 3.2g beta-alanine helps with metabolic stress sets, stim-noot stack maintains drive as fatigue hits.
  • Intermediate-advanced folks training early or quick sessions who need fast ramp-up. Dual caffeine, Eria, hordenine switch you from drag to beast mode quick.
  • Guys who feel mentally off even with good rest. 1g tyrosine, Alpha GPC choline, 200mcg Huperzine suit those wanting focus and muscle feel as much as energy.
  • Athletes doing heavy accessories, drops, supersets with big fatigue. Beta-alanine's carnosine helps buffer acid, making finishers less brutal.
  • High-stim fans bored with 250-300mg caffeine pres. 423mg from anhydrous and dicaffeine is for those chasing real kick.
  • Folks wanting some pump but energy-focus first. 4g citrulline malate and AstraGin give flow support, but it's stim-performance driven.

How to Use

Try 1/2 scoop first if new to it, especially if high-stims aren't your usual. Full scoop has 423mg caffeine plus Eria and hordenine, so know your tolerance. Take 20-30 minutes pre to let anhydrous climb for working sets, dicaffeine extends it. Shake in 10-14 oz cold water; adjust water for flavor strength. Hits best on empty or light stomach—big meals slow it. Skip stacking with other caffeine or huperzine stuff unless you're sure. No need to cycle beta-alanine, but break from stims if tolerance builds. Keep tub sealed, cool, dry to avoid clumps.

What to Expect

Minutes 0-10: mixes like any good pre, taste is solid, settles easy. Minutes 10-20: anhydrous caffeine ramps up, beta-alanine tingles hit, alertness builds. Minutes 20-40: prime time—stims, focus, and light pumps align for peak feel. Minutes 40-90: dicaffeine malate keeps energy going, no sharp drop. Days 1-7: stim and focus shine, beta-alanine loading starts. Weeks 2-4: carnosine builds, tough efforts get easier, formula feels stronger overall.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Darkside Supps Ultra Pre Xtreme per scoop?

A full scoop provides 350mg caffeine anhydrous plus 100mg dicaffeine malate. Because dicaffeine malate is not 100% caffeine by weight, the total caffeine yield is about 423mg per serving. That puts Ultra Pre Xtreme firmly in the high-stim category.

Is Ultra Pre Xtreme a beginner-friendly pre-workout?

No. With about 423mg total caffeine, plus Eria Jarensis and hordenine, this is designed for experienced stimulant users. Beginners should start elsewhere or, at minimum, begin with 1/2 scoop to assess tolerance.

Will this pre-workout give a strong pump?

It provides moderate pump support, not max-pump support. The formula includes 4g L-Citrulline Malate 2:1, which helps nitric oxide production and blood flow, but the actual pure citrulline yield is below what you see in dedicated pump formulas built around 6-8g+ pure citrulline.

Why does this formula use both caffeine anhydrous and dicaffeine malate?

Caffeine anhydrous hits quickly and gives the formula its hard onset. Dicaffeine malate releases more gradually, which helps extend the energy curve and makes the session feel less front-loaded than anhydrous-only formulas.

What does the 3,200mg beta-alanine dose actually do?

That is the classic evidence-based daily dose used to increase muscle carnosine over time. Higher carnosine helps buffer hydrogen ions during hard training, which is why beta-alanine is associated with better tolerance for intense sets, repeated intervals, and metabolic fatigue.

Why do I feel tingling after taking Ultra Pre Xtreme?

The tingling comes from the 3.2g beta-alanine dose and is called paresthesia. It is common, harmless for most users, and usually strongest shortly after ingestion, especially on an empty stomach.

What is the purpose of Alpha GPC and Huperzine A in this formula?

Alpha GPC provides choline to support acetylcholine production, which is relevant for focus and neuromuscular signaling. Huperzine A slows the breakdown of acetylcholine, so together they create a stronger and longer-lasting cholinergic focus effect than either ingredient alone.

Should I take this on an empty stomach?

Most users feel the onset more strongly on a relatively empty stomach or after a light meal. A large meal can slow absorption and make the stimulant rise feel less immediate, which matters in a formula this reliant on acute energy and focus.

Can I stack Ultra Pre Xtreme with coffee or an energy drink?

That is generally not recommended. This formula already delivers about 423mg total caffeine, and adding more stimulants can increase the risk of jitters, rapid heart rate, anxiety, or sleep disruption.

Does this product need to be taken consistently to work?

The stimulant and focus effects are acute, so you will feel those on day one. Beta-alanine is different—it works best with consistent daily use over multiple weeks as muscle carnosine levels rise.

Awesome for hyper dogs
Color: Blue
AWESOME - I have a dog that just won't stop trying to get me to play with him ALL day! I turn this thing on and he goes nuts and tires himself out...without any help from me. The cover got torn off and torn up in minutes but he doesn't care. He just wants this ball. My other dogs, who are older, aren't really interested. But if you have a hyper dog this is the thing for you and them!

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.

Difficult/impossible to unscrew plastic cups (in order to recharge the vibrating/blinking device)
Color: Orange
Generally, I don't leave feedback on items purchased. However, in this case, I feel compelled to do so in hopes the mechanical engineers (of this product) will take my input to heart and ultimately modify it. First the pros... - I have 2 high-energy dogs (Jack Russell Terriers) who love their toys (e.g., chewing bones, tug-of-war, etc.) but usually get bored with them rather quickly. - This interactive PetDroid ball, however, keeps them busy for a long time. - In fact, my smaller dog (Max) knows its storage location and sits (as early as 6 AM) in front of the cabinet so that I give him "his ball". It keeps him busy for up to 1-2 hours at a time. - Max is literally addicted to the PetDroid ball... his determinant play with it makes me laugh all the time. Now, the cons... - After several days of play, the exterior looks chewed up quite a bit. That's no problem though. - Unfortunately, the interior "threads/grooves" of the two plastic cups (for closing/fasting) are very tiny. - Thus, after an hour-long hard play, it is almost impossible to unscrew the 2 plastic cups in order to recharge the interior device. - It appears the 2 cups somehow come off track and get realigned from the inside. - At that point, I cannot unscrew the PetDroid ball in order to recharge the device.... and without the blinking/vibration, this toy is no longer fun for play. - Ultimately, I had to place the bottom half of the ball into a vise and then use a plumbing wrench to untwist it. Proposed Solution: - Increase the size of the plastic cups' interior threads/grooves so that they won't get realigned/come off track. - This would mitigate the current dilemma of NOT being able to unscrew the ball in order to recharge it. In my view, this should be a relatively simple fix and significantly improve the durability of this product. Thank you for your time.
