“CBum pre workout” refers to Chris Bumstead-associated products from RAW Nutrition, rather than one universal formula. Thavage and Essential are distinct lines. Thuper Thavage, Essential Charged, tingle-free products and ready-to-drink versions need their own label checks.
Essential: a separate everyday formula
RAW’s current Essential page lists 4 grams L-citrulline, 3.2 grams beta-alanine and 200 milligrams caffeine per scoop. Those figures describe Essential as presented on that page. They should not be copied onto Thavage simply because the products share CBum branding.
Start a comparison with serving size, caffeine, the full ingredient panel and cost per serving. A lower-priced container can be a sensible choice if the formula fits your needs; an athlete’s name does not make a larger serving necessary.
Thavage: read the correct serving column
The official Thavage Supplement Facts page includes flavor-specific panels. Its Lemonade example displays one-scoop and two-scoop columns, with 40 or 20 servings per container. Two scoops provide 6 grams L-citrulline, 3.2 grams beta-alanine, 2.5 grams betaine and 2 grams L-tyrosine.
That panel lists 260 milligrams caffeine anhydrous plus dicaffeine malate yielding another 45 milligrams of caffeine at two scoops, approximately 305 milligrams total. The one-scoop column is approximately 153 milligrams after the label’s rounding. The dicaffeine-malate ingredient weight is not all caffeine.
Why current online numbers can conflict
RAW’s main Thavage sales page currently advertises 200 milligrams of caffeine, which does not match that linked Lemonade panel. This is a reason to verify the exact flavor and batch, not combine the numbers into a new formula. Ask the seller or RAW for the label that matches the tub being supplied if the listing is unclear.
The pictured Cherry Lime Slush Thavage tub identifies the product line; it does not prove that the Lemonade panel applies to that flavor. Likewise, a 40-serving claim can mean 40 smaller servings rather than 40 full two-scoop portions.
Choose for your training, not the branding
Consider your caffeine tolerance, training time and ingredient overlap with other supplements. Follow the actual container’s directions and warnings. Beta-alanine tingles do not demonstrate effectiveness, and a larger stimulant dose is not a substitute for sleep, food or progressive training. Resolve label uncertainty before using the product.
