450mg dual-source caffeine with straightforward focus and performance doses
Panda Supps Panta Pre-Workout is an open-label, high-stim pre that's all about cranking up your energy and focus first, then adding just enough pump and fatigue fighters to keep your session going strong. It's not trying to max out every ingredient at top doses, and that's fine—it's smart about what it prioritizes. They went heavy on nervous system kick, sharp attention, and workout drive, then added key performance boosters at doses that make a difference, even if not always the absolute highest.
Energy comes from 450mg total caffeine: 350mg straight anhydrous plus 100mg natural from Camellia sinensis. That's a big hit. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors to cut fatigue and boost alertness, speed, and motivation. Using two sources gives a quick start with a smoother finish than just anhydrous. Add 100mg theobromine, another stim that blocks adenosine and helps with enzymes to keep you alert longer, plus a bit of blood flow and breathing ease. Overall, it feels more steady and less crashy than single-caffeine pre's.
Focus is where Panta shines. 1,500mg L-tyrosine feeds your brain's dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine production. Studies show it best for keeping your mind sharp during stress—like in a tough workout. Alpha-GPC 50% at 300mg gives about 150mg real Alpha-GPC, providing choline for acetylcholine to help with focus and connecting to your muscles, though it's under the 300mg dose you see in heavier brain-boost formulas. Huperzia serrata extract at 20mg with 1% huperzine-A delivers 200mcg huperzine-A, which slows acetylcholine breakdown to make that focus last longer.
Panda Panta Pre by Panda Supps contains 4000mg L-Citrulline, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.
Key Highlights
- 450mg total caffeine from two spots—350mg anhydrous plus 100mg natural from Camellia sinensis. You get a fast kick with energy that hangs around better than single-source stuff, perfect for longer or tougher workouts.
- 3,200mg beta-alanine—this matches the daily dose in studies for building carnosine in muscles. More carnosine helps buffer acid during intense efforts, so you can push more reps when the burn hits.
- 1,500mg L-tyrosine for focus that holds up under pressure. It's the building block for dopamine and norepinephrine, and research backs it for keeping your head clear when training gets stressful and motivation dips.
- 4,000mg L-citrulline for nitric oxide and blood flow. It's not the full 6-8g from some studies, but still a good amount that boosts arginine and gives better pumps than those skimpy 2-3g formulas out there.
- 1,000mg agmatine sulfate to team up with citrulline for pumps. It tweaks nitric oxide in its own way, helping you feel fuller during sets even without max citrulline.
- 1,000mg taurine at a dose that supports hydration and muscle work. It balances cell fluids and calcium signals, which is key in high-stim pre's to keep performance from dipping if you're not hydrated.
- 300mg Alpha-GPC 50% for brain focus via choline. This yields about 150mg actual Alpha-GPC—solid, but not as high as the 300mg in more intense nootropic blends.
- 20mg Huperzia serrata extract with 1% huperzine-A for 200mcg huperzine-A. It slows acetylcholine breakdown, stretching out the focus and muscle connection from the choline in the mix.

Who Is This For?
- Bodybuilders and size-chasers doing medium-to-high volume who want sessions staying sharp from warm-ups to finishers. 450mg caffeine, 1,500mg tyrosine, Alpha-GPC plus huperzine-A keep drive up, 4g citrulline and 1g agmatine make lifts feel full.
- Seasoned pre users with caffeine tolerance who barely feel 200-300mg anymore. Panta's 450mg delivers the strong start and drive for heavy days.
- Lifters building volume who want more quality reps, not just a quick buzz. 3,200mg beta-alanine is spot-on for carnosine, helping hold form deep in sets.
- Early birds juggling workouts and work who need alert and focused under fatigue. Tyrosine's great for keeping performance up when life's draining you.
- Folks who dig open labels to check doses against real ranges, not guesses.
- Pump fans who want energy and focus first, not max NO. 4g citrulline plus 1g agmatine gives good fullness without cutting stims.
How to Use
Mix 1 scoop in 10-16 oz cold water, drink 20-30 minutes before lifting. That lets caffeine, tyrosine, and focus ingredients hit before heavy stuff. New? Half scoop first—450mg caffeine plus theobromine is strong.
Shaker beats stirring for even mix, cold water tastes better. Empty or light stomach? Faster, stronger hit; big meal might slow it. No stacking with other stims like drinks or burners unless tracking total caffeine. Pairs great with creatine, electrolytes, intra EAAs, post protein. Tolerance builds, so save for tough days or cycle in low-stim ones. Store cool and dry, lid tight for fresh powder.
What to Expect
First 0-10 minutes: it's settling in, maybe early stim vibes. If beta-alanine tingles hit you, they'll start here, more on empty stomach. 10-20 minutes: caffeine ramps up, drive builds, focus sharpens—this is when you feel ready to go.
20-40 minutes: peak for most. Energy's high, motivation's there, tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, and huperzine-A make sets feel focused. Pumps build from citrulline and agmatine, taurine keeps muscles feeling good. 40-90 minutes: still solid, theobromine helps avoid a hard drop. Days 1-7: mostly feel stims, focus, pumps. Weeks 2-4: beta-alanine shines as carnosine builds, making burn in reps easier to push through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Panda Supps Panta Pre-Workout?
Panta contains 450mg total caffeine per scoop: 350mg caffeine anhydrous plus 100mg natural caffeine from Camellia sinensis. That puts it firmly in the high-stim category and well above beginner-friendly pre-workout ranges.
Is Panta more of a pump pre-workout or a stim pre-workout?
It is primarily a stim-and-focus pre-workout. The formula does include 4,000mg L-citrulline and 1,000mg agmatine sulfate for blood flow support, but the centerpiece is clearly the 450mg caffeine stack, 1,500mg tyrosine, and cholinergic focus support.
Is 4g of citrulline enough to feel a pump?
Yes, most users will still notice improved fullness and blood flow at 4g, especially with the added 1g agmatine. That said, the research-backed sweet spot for citrulline in sports performance is more often 6-8g, so this is a solid but not maximal pump dose.
Why is there both Alpha-GPC and Huperzia serrata in this formula?
They target the same neurotransmitter system from different angles. Alpha-GPC provides choline to help produce acetylcholine, while huperzine-A from Huperzia serrata slows the breakdown of acetylcholine, helping extend the focus effect.
What does the 3,200mg beta-alanine dose actually do?
That is the established daily loading dose used to raise muscle carnosine levels over time. More carnosine helps buffer the acid buildup that creates the intense burn during hard sets, which can improve repeated-effort performance after consistent use.
Should I start with a full scoop?
Not if you have never used this formula before or if you are sensitive to stimulants. Because Panta contains 450mg caffeine plus 100mg theobromine, starting with 1/2 scoop is the smartest way to assess tolerance.
Can I stack Panta with creatine?
Yes, and it is a smart stack because Panta does not include creatine. Adding 3-5g creatine monohydrate complements the formula by supporting phosphocreatine replenishment and strength performance while beta-alanine handles acid buffering.
Will this make me tingle?
Very possibly. Panta contains 3,200mg beta-alanine, and that dose commonly causes paresthesia — a harmless tingling or prickling sensation on the skin, especially when taken on a relatively empty stomach.
Can I take Panta for evening workouts?
Only if you have exceptional stimulant tolerance and know caffeine does not disturb your sleep. With 450mg total caffeine, many users will find late-day use interferes with sleep quality, which can hurt recovery even if the workout itself feels great.
Is this product fully transparent?
Yes. Panta uses a fully disclosed label with no proprietary blends, so every active ingredient and dose is listed clearly on the panel.
