Thavage Pre-Workout: One vs Two Scoops and Caffeine

CBum Signature 02 Thavage Cherry Lime Slush pre-workout tub
RAW Nutrition Thavage Cherry Lime Slush, 505.2 g and 40/20 servings. The reviewed panel differs from the general sales page’s caffeine statement.

Thavage is a named RAW Nutrition pre-workout associated with Chris Bumstead. It should not be reduced to gym slang or a recommendation to train recklessly. Essential, Thuper Thavage and Thavage ready-to-drink products have separate identities; their formulas cannot fill missing details for the powder reviewed here.

One tub, two serving columns

The manufacturer’s Cherry Lime Slush Supplement Facts lists one 12.63 g scoop or two 25.26 g scoops. That produces 40 one-scoop portions or 20 two-scoop portions. The matching photograph identifies Cherry Lime Slush and a 505.2 g tub.

Selected quantities at one scoop / two scoops are:

  • L-citrulline: 3 g / 6 g.
  • Beta-alanine: 1.6 g / 3.2 g.
  • Betaine anhydrous: 1.25 g / 2.5 g.
  • L-tyrosine and taurine: each 1 g / 2 g.
  • Nitrosigine inositol-stabilized arginine silicate: 750 mg / 1.5 g.
  • Caffeine anhydrous: 130 mg / 260 mg.
  • Dicaffeine malate: 32 mg / 64 mg, declared to deliver 23 mg / 45 mg caffeine.

How much caffeine does that mean?

Adding the declared caffeine yields gives approximately 153 mg at one scoop and 305 mg at two scoops. These totals follow the printed yield values; doubling the rounded one-scoop total would instead give 306 mg. Adding the entire dicaffeine-malate ingredient weight to caffeine anhydrous would overstate the caffeine total.

There is a source conflict to resolve before purchasing: the current Thavage sales page also contains general text saying 200 mg caffeine. That does not match this identified flavor panel. The page’s broader description is not a reason to overwrite the visible quantities or assume every flavor has the same formula generation.

Ask RAW or the seller for the rear label of the exact tub being supplied. Until those details match, the defensible statement is that the Cherry Lime Slush panel and the general page copy disagree.

Read the rest of the formula with the same care

This panel identifies alpha-GPC as a 50% ingredient. Its ingredient weight should not be treated as that much pure alpha-GPC. The label also lists natural and artificial flavors, sucralose and acesulfame potassium; the RAW brand name does not establish an additive-free product.

Likewise, a longer ingredient list does not establish a stronger workout effect. FDA caffeine guidance emphasizes individual variation, and more caffeine is not a reliable way to choose a personally suitable product. Read all container warnings and consider the other caffeine and supplements you already use.

A useful comparison starts with a defined portion

Compare cost using 40 or 20 portions according to the label column under discussion. Keep that portion fixed when comparing other products’ ingredient quantities. Changing both the serving and the product makes a “per serving” comparison misleading.

This article reports manufacturer information and its inconsistencies. It does not promise a crash-free experience, judge flavor, claim independent testing or recommend escalating from one scoop to two.
