Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
Citrulline and Nitrates
Citrulline and nitrates both boost nitric oxide levels in the body.
This dilates the blood vessels, resulting in improved blood flow, endurance, and pumps (1, 2).
Betaine
Betaine is a naturally occurring compound found in sugar beets.
Research shows that it may be useful for increasing power output, and could also improve body composition (3).
An effective dose is 2.5g.
Beta Alanine
Beta alanine is a fatigue-reducing compound.
It works by counteracting the build-up of acid and free radicals which occur during intense exercise (4).
An effective dose is between 2-5g.
Tyrosine
Tyrosine is an anti-stress amino acid.
It reduces the effects of stress hormones, improving performance under stressful or fatigued conditions (5).
The effective dose is 500-2,000mg.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant which improves energy, alertness and physical performance (6).
The effective dose varies with the user, but is usually between 200-500mg.
Alpha GPC
Alpha GPC is a form of the brain-boosting compound, choline.
It’s been shown to improve memory and focus effectively, however it may also increase power output (7).
The effective dose for this is about 600mg.
Dynamine™
Dynamine™ is a trademarked caffeine derivative.
It acts in a similar way to caffeine, but is said to be quicker-acting and slightly stronger.
Huperzine-A
Huperzine-A is a compound which reduces the breakdown of acetylcholine, a “learning” neurotransmitter.
This can improve mental performance, and is likely to work synergistically with Alpha GPC (8).
An effective dose is 50-200 micrograms.

Conclusion
Warfare is a good all-round pre-workout, which caters to all aspects of workout performance.
The formula should do well for pumps, endurance, and energy. Multiple ingredients are supplied for each of these effects.
Some of the ingredients are under-dosed, which slightly spoil what could have been a near-perfect pre-workout supplement.
Warfare is available in multiple flavours to suit everyone’s tastes.
