3.2g beta-alanine, 370mg caffeine, extreme focus and drive
Alpha Lion Super Human Extreme is a high-stim pre-workout that hits hard on energy and focus while covering the basics for better performance—like blood flow, muscle endurance, cell hydration, and mental sharpness. It's not just about pumps or caffeine alone. It packs solid doses across the board with a stim blend made for folks who can handle it.
For performance, you've got 3,200mg beta-alanine. That's the standard dose from studies that builds up carnosine in your muscles over time. Carnosine helps buffer acid buildup, so you can push through that burning feeling in tough sets. This is one of the best-dosed ingredients here. Then there's 2,500mg betaine anhydrous— a go-to amount for boosting power, keeping cells hydrated, and improving how you train. Add 1,000mg L-taurine for better cell balance, nerve support, and staying hydrated during sweaty sessions.
On the pump side, 4,000mg L-citrulline gets the job done for nitric oxide and blood flow, though it's not the massive 6-8g you see in pure pump products. Citrulline boosts arginine levels better than taking arginine straight, which helps widen blood vessels for better nutrient delivery. They threw in 50mg S7™, a plant blend that aims to ramp up nitric oxide through your body's own signals. A small study showed 50mg spiking NO levels quick, but the research isn't as rock-solid as citrulline's. Still, the idea is smart: use citrulline for the building blocks, then S7 to help signal more NO.

Key Highlights
- 3,200mg Beta-Alanine — this matches the daily dose from studies that build muscle carnosine. Carnosine fights acid in your muscles, so you handle high reps, short rests, and that deep burn without tapping out as fast.
- 2,500mg Betaine Anhydrous — a real dose for strength and endurance, not just for show. It helps with cell hydration and power, making it a solid player in a pre-workout that means business.
- 4,000mg L-Citrulline — enough to boost nitric oxide and get blood pumping during workouts, even if it's under the 6-8g in heavy pump formulas. It feeds the pathway for wider blood vessels and better muscle delivery way better than arginine alone.
- 1,000mg Taurine — a good amount for keeping cells balanced, supporting nerves, and staying hydrated. In a high-stim pre like this, it helps smooth things out so it's not all jitters.
- 1,000mg L-Tyrosine — a smart dose to keep your focus sharp in a heavy-stim setup. It supports brain chemicals that pair with caffeine for better stress handling, attention, and workout intensity.
- 370mg total caffeine from the SXT™ Energy System — this is straight-up high-stim land. It mixes quick-hit, slow-release, and delayed caffeine for a smoother ride than plain old caffeine.
- Dynamine® methyliberine yielding 40mg — a cool add-on that sharpens caffeine's edge without piling on more. In the gym, it feels like quicker, cleaner energy and drive.
- 200mcg Huperzine A from Huperzia serrata extract — a solid nootropic dose for focus and connecting mind to muscle. It slows down acetylcholine breakdown, helping with attention during tough lifts.
Who Is This For?
- Seasoned lifters in big volume phases who need more than just energy. 3.2g beta-alanine, 2.5g betaine, 1g taurine, and 4g citrulline help with reps, hydration, and flow while caffeine drives long sessions.
- Strength folks training early who want fast-hitting energy that lasts. Mixed quick and timed caffeine beats single-shot stuff for steady power.
- Gym rats who crave high-stim vibes and that intense pre feel. Dynamine®, Huperzine A, and Alfabin® make it next-level for strong preferences.
- Bodybuilders chasing mind-muscle in long, short-rest sessions with fatigue. Huperzine A and tyrosine keep you focused, beta-alanine and taurine maintain output.
- Athletes mixing lifts and conditioning who need energy, endurance, and focus when tired. Beta-alanine and betaine back repeated efforts, stims keep you going.
- Folks who handle 300mg+ caffeine and want an upgrade. 370mg plus methyliberine and rauwolfia feels way stronger than mid-level pres.
How to Use
Start with half a scoop to test tolerance. It's got 370mg caffeine plus methyliberine, Huperzine A, and rauwolfia, so respect it even if you're a pre vet. Once good, mix one full scoop in 8-12 ounces cold water 20-30 minutes pre-workout; that lets quick caffeine hit while slower ones carry you through. Shaker's best for mixing, especially if you sip it. Empty stomach means faster kick, full meal slows it down. Don't stack with other caffeine, fat burners, or yohimbine unless you're experienced. Adding creatine monohydrate is smart since this covers flow, endurance, and stims already. Use daily for beta-alanine buildup, but cycle to avoid tolerance. Store sealed in a cool, dry spot to keep it fresh.
What to Expect
Minutes 0-10: most folks feel the mental click first, especially on an empty stomach. Beta-alanine tingles might start if you're sensitive at 3.2g—totally normal. Minutes 10-20: quick caffeine ramps up, and Dynamine® plus rauwolfia add that sharp, urgent vibe. Minutes 20-40: prime time for training—focus is on point, drive feels locked, and citrulline, taurine, betaine make sessions feel supported and full. Minutes 40-90: timed caffeine keeps the drop-off away, though if you're sensitive, it might linger strong. Days 1-7: you get the instant energy, focus, and pump, but beta-alanine is still building. Weeks 2-4: carnosine levels up, and grinding sets feel easier than day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Alpha Lion Super Human Extreme per serving?
Each full scoop provides 370mg total caffeine from the SXT™ Energy System. That total comes from caffeine anhydrous plus zumXR® extended-release and delayed-release caffeine, which is designed to create both fast onset and longer-lasting energy.
Is Alpha Lion Super Human Extreme beginner-friendly?
No. This is an advanced high-stim pre-workout with 370mg caffeine, Dynamine®, Huperzine A, and rauwolfia extract. New users should start with 1/2 scoop, but true beginners are usually better served by a moderate-stim or stim-free formula first.
Why does this formula use 3.2g of beta-alanine?
3,200mg is the established daily benchmark used in sports nutrition research to raise muscle carnosine stores over time. More muscle carnosine means better acid buffering during high-intensity work, which helps you tolerate the burn of hard sets and repeated efforts.
Is 4g of citrulline enough for a good pump?
Yes, 4g is a meaningful dose and should support nitric oxide production and blood flow, especially when paired with S7™. That said, it sits below the 6-8g range found in the most pump-focused formulas, so this product’s identity is more balanced toward high stimulation than maximum pump volume.
What does Dynamine® do in this formula?
Dynamine® is a branded methyliberine ingredient used to sharpen the feel of a stimulant formula. Here, 100mg of a 40% material yields 40mg methyliberine, which helps create a faster, cleaner sense of energy and complements the caffeine system.
Why is Huperzine A included?
The Huperzia serrata extract is standardized to 1% Huperzine A, giving 200mcg per serving. Huperzine A helps slow the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in focus, attention, and neuromuscular signaling, which can improve mind-muscle connection during training.
Can I stack this with coffee or an energy drink?
That is not recommended for most users. At 370mg caffeine before considering Dynamine® and rauwolfia, this formula is already aggressive, and adding more stimulants can significantly increase the risk of jitters, elevated heart rate, anxiety, and sleep disruption.
Does this formula need to be taken every day?
The acute stimulant effects only matter on training days, but beta-alanine works best through consistent daily intake because it relies on carnosine saturation over time. If your goal is maximizing the endurance side of the formula, regular use is beneficial, though some users still cycle the product to manage stimulant tolerance.
What should I stack with this for a more complete performance setup?
A standalone creatine monohydrate is the smartest add-on because this formula does not include creatine. Creatine supports phosphocreatine replenishment and high-output power performance, complementing beta-alanine’s acid-buffering role and betaine’s hydration/performance support.
Will this make me tingle?
Possibly, and for many users likely. The 3.2g beta-alanine dose commonly causes paresthesia—the harmless tingling sensation often felt in the face, ears, or hands—especially when taken quickly or on a relatively empty stomach.
