Solid pump doses with 305mg caffeine and real focus support
Raw Nutrition X CBum Thavage is a straight-up, no-hidden-blends high-stim pre-workout that hits on blood flow, muscle endurance, mental sharpness, and steady energy. Forget those flashy labels with mystery mixes – this one's open book, packed with 6,000mg L-Citrulline, 3,200mg Beta-Alanine, 2,500mg Betaine Anhydrous, 2,000mg L-Tyrosine, 2,000mg Taurine, and the full 1,500mg dose of Nitrosigine®. It's all about getting a real pump, pushing more reps when you're tired, staying focused under pressure, and having energy that lasts without crashing.
The pump side is legit. 6g L-Citrulline is right in the sweet spot from studies for boosting nitric oxide – that's the stuff that widens blood vessels – improving blood flow and helping clear out waste like ammonia. You notice fuller muscles, better stamina, and less fading early on. Then there's 1,500mg Nitrosigine®, a patented form of arginine that's stabilized with inositol to actually work in your body, unlike regular arginine that breaks down too fast. Studies show it ramps up nitric oxide quick, improves blood flow, and keeps it going for up to 6 hours. Add 1,000mg Agmatine Sulfate, which boosts nitric oxide signals and helps that pump stick around longer.
For keeping going strong, 3,200mg Beta-Alanine is the go-to dose. It builds up carnosine in your muscles over time – carnosine fights the acid that builds up and makes you quit sets early – so you can handle more volume without burning out. Betaine Anhydrous at 2,500mg is another evidence-based inclusion, commonly
Raw CBum Thavage by Raw Nutrition contains 125mg Vitamin C, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.
Key Highlights
- 6,000mg L-Citrulline – that's a full, effective dose that really delivers. It turns into arginine in your kidneys, cranks up nitric oxide for better blood flow, and helps clear out ammonia, so you get stronger pumps and can train harder.
- 3,200mg Beta-Alanine – the standard dose that builds muscle carnosine over time. Carnosine fights acid buildup, so those tough sets don't burn out as quick, and you keep pushing in high-volume workouts.
- 2,500mg Betaine Anhydrous – right in the range that studies back for power and performance. It also pulls water into cells for better hydration, making muscles feel supported during heavy lifts.
- 2,000mg L-Tyrosine – a hefty amount for brain support. It helps make dopamine and norepinephrine, which keep you sharp when fatigue and stims are hitting your system.
- 2,000mg Taurine – a strong dose for keeping cells hydrated, balancing fluids, and supporting muscle function. It's smart in stim-heavy formulas to counter dehydration from training and caffeine.
- 1,500mg Nitrosigine® – the complete studied dose of this patented arginine form. It beats regular arginine by staying active longer, with research showing quick nitric oxide boosts and better blood flow for up to 6 hours.
- 1,000mg Agmatine Sulfate – works great with citrulline and Nitrosigine to amp up nitric oxide and make pumps last. You feel that extra fullness that hangs on during your session.
- 400mg Alpha-GPC plus 100mcg Huperzine A – a solid combo for focus and connecting mind to muscle. Alpha-GPC boosts acetylcholine, the brain chemical for concentration, and Huperzine A keeps it from breaking down too fast, so it lasts through your workout.

Who Is This For?
- Bodybuilders chasing hypertrophy who want pumps and that mind-muscle link. 6g L-Citrulline, 1.5g Nitrosigine®, and 1g agmatine give you that full look, while Alpha-GPC, L-Tyrosine, and Huperzine A keep you zeroed in through long workouts.
- Intermediate lifters on high-volume splits who fade in later sets. 3.2g Beta-Alanine and 2.5g Betaine help you hold strong as burn and tiredness creep in.
- Seasoned stim fans who want real kick without the anxious mess. 305mg caffeine is stout, but 150mg L-Theanine and 2g L-Tyrosine make it smooth and directed, better than plain caffeine bombs.
- Folks training early who need a quick mental switch to gym mode. Caffeine, tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, and Huperzine A boost alertness, speed, and focus for real performance.
- Lifters who value clear labels and real doses over hype. This shows everything: 6g citrulline, 3.2g beta-alanine, 2.5g betaine, 1.5g Nitrosigine® – all solid amounts you can trust.
- Users after high-stims that don't skimp on pumps. Lots of intense pre-workouts overload on energy and shortchange flow; this balances both with real doses.
How to Use
Start with 1 scoop to check how it hits, especially if high-stims are new or you're not used to 300mg caffeine. Full dose is 2 scoops for the complete setup: 6g citrulline, 3.2g beta-alanine, 305mg caffeine. Take it 20-30 minutes pre-gym; that lines up with caffeine timing, gets nootropics going, and preps pumps for your first set. Shake it in 10-16 oz cold water for good mix and easy drinking. If you ate, keep the meal light and low-fat to not slow it down. Don't stack with other caffeine sources unless you're tracking totals. Adding creatine is smart since it's not in here – creatine helps energy regen while beta-alanine fights fatigue. No need to cycle the non-stim parts, but rotating stims can keep tolerance in check. Keep it sealed cool and dry to avoid clumps.
What to Expect
First 0-10 minutes: it's settling in, and stims start if your stomach's empty. 10-20 minutes: 260mg caffeine hits, beta-alanine might tingle, and you feel more alert. 20-40 minutes: peak time for most – energy's up, focus sharpens, and pumps build once you start lifting, thanks to citrulline, Nitrosigine®, and agmatine. 40-90 minutes: it holds steady, not just front-loaded, with di-caffeine malate extending energy and Nitrosigine keeping flow going. Days 1-7: you feel the immediate stuff right away, but Beta-Alanine is still loading. Weeks 2-4: with steady 3.2g doses, carnosine builds, making tough sets easier, especially in rep-heavy work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Raw Nutrition X Cbum Bum Thavage?
At the full 2-scoop serving, Thavage delivers 305mg total caffeine. That comes from 260mg caffeine anhydrous plus 64mg di-caffeine malate, which contributes 45mg caffeine and creates a slightly more sustained energy curve than anhydrous alone.
Is 1 scoop or 2 scoops the real serving?
The clinically complete formula is the full 2-scoop serving. One scoop is best treated as a tolerance-assessment or lower-stim option, because the headline ingredients like citrulline, beta-alanine, betaine, and Nitrosigine® are all effectively halved at that amount.
Is the 6g L-Citrulline dose actually effective?
Yes. 6,000mg sits right at the clinically supported range commonly used for nitric oxide production, blood flow, and performance support. This is a meaningful pump dose, not the 3g underdosing seen in many mainstream pre-workouts.
Why does Thavage include both L-Citrulline and Nitrosigine®?
They support nitric oxide through complementary mechanisms. Citrulline raises arginine efficiently through kidney conversion, while Nitrosigine® is a patented arginine silicate complex with human research showing rapid nitric oxide support and improved vascular function for up to 6 hours.
Will this make me tingle?
Probably, especially at the full serving. The formula contains 3,200mg Beta-Alanine, which is the full clinical daily dose and is well known for causing harmless paresthesia, often felt as tingling or warmth in the skin.
Is this a good beginner pre-workout?
Not really. With 305mg caffeine, bitter orange extract, and a serious focus stack, this is better for intermediate or experienced users. Beginners should start with 1 scoop at minimum, and many will be better served by a lower-stim product.
Does this formula include creatine?
No, Thavage does not contain creatine. That is often a good thing for users who prefer to control creatine intake separately; adding a standalone 3-5g creatine monohydrate pairs very well with this formula.
How does the focus feel compared to basic caffeine-only pre-workouts?
More structured and intentional. The 2g L-Tyrosine, 400mg Alpha-GPC, 150mg Theanine, and 100mcg Huperzine A create a stronger mind-muscle connection and more stable attention profile than simple caffeine-heavy formulas.
Can I take Thavage late in the day?
Most users should avoid doing that. The 305mg caffeine load, plus the more sustained contribution from di-caffeine malate, can easily disrupt sleep if taken too close to bedtime.
What should I stack with Thavage for best results?
Creatine monohydrate is the cleanest stack because it complements beta-alanine by supporting ATP regeneration while Thavage handles energy, pump, and focus. For long or sweaty sessions, an intra-workout electrolyte or carbohydrate product also stacks well with the taurine and hydration-support angle already present here.
