Alpha Lion is the brand behind the SUPERHUMAN pre-workout family. Searching only for “Alpha Lion pre workout” leaves an important question unanswered: which formula? Original, Extreme and Pump are separate products, and older Superhuman Pre labels should not be merged with current red-tub versions.
Three versions answer different label questions
- Superhuman Original: the reviewed red-tub panel declares 325 mg total caffeine yield, 4 g L-citrulline, 3.2 g beta-alanine and 2.5 g betaine anhydrous. Its serving is one 17.8 g scoop, with 21 servings.
- Superhuman Extreme: its reviewed panel declares a 376 mg caffeine yield, 6 g L-citrulline, 3.2 g beta-alanine and 2.5 g betaine. The serving is one 19.7 g scoop, again with 21 servings. Additional stimulant-related ingredients make this more than a small caffeine adjustment.
- Superhuman Pump: the reviewed Blue Steel label is caffeine-free, with 8 g L-citrulline and 3.2 g beta-alanine in a 20.3 g scoop. It also contains other active ingredients, so “non-stim” should not be interpreted as ingredient-free.
These are three documented labels, not a complete catalog or a promise that every retailer has the same production version. Start with the exact product name, flavor and rear panel.
Caffeine yield is different from ingredient weight
The Original formula combines 275 mg caffeine anhydrous with extended- and delayed-release ingredients yielding another 30 mg and 20 mg. That is 325 mg caffeine, rather than the combined weight of the caffeine-containing materials. Apply the same distinction when comparing another brand.
Both the Original and Extreme panels also list 500 mg VitaCholine choline bitartrate supplying 200 mg choline. Those figures describe the ingredient and its nutrient yield; they should not be added together as separate choline doses.
Choose by the whole formula
Extreme includes bitter-orange extract and other concentrated botanicals. Its name and larger stimulant load do not establish better training outcomes. NCCIH notes inconsistent performance evidence and unresolved safety concerns for bitter-orange supplements. Coffee tolerance alone cannot establish suitability for a multi-ingredient product.
For any caffeinated version, include other drinks and supplements when reviewing total intake. FDA guidance emphasizes individual differences in sensitivity and the effects of medications or medical conditions. Caffeine-free Pump also warrants a complete ingredient and warning check.
Compare the cost of the labeled serving you are actually buying, rather than selecting the largest tub or boldest name. This is a label-based comparison, not a taste test or a guarantee about energy, pumps or freedom from a crash.
