9g Citrulline, 5g Creatine, 400mg Dual-Phase Energy
RYSE Godzilla is a no-BS, high-stim pre-workout with everything out in the open. The idea is simple: don't skimp on the basics, and don't let caffeine carry the whole show. It's built to hit blood flow, endurance, strength, and mental drive all at once. At two scoops, it's a beast of a pre-workout that's about real performance, not just a pretty label.
The pump starts with 9g L-citrulline plus 2g citrulline nitrate as NO3-T®. L-citrulline boosts nitric oxide by ramping up arginine levels better than taking arginine straight up. Studies often use 6-8g, so 9g is a strong dose on its own. The nitrate adds another way to get nitric oxide going—through the nitrate-nitrite path—which doesn't use the same steps as the arginine one. That means bigger pumps, better blood flow, and vasodilation that actually helps your training, not like formulas that just throw in citrulline and call it done.
To fight fatigue, it's got 6.4g beta-alanine, which is twice the usual 3.2g daily dose from research. Beta-alanine doesn't give you an instant buzz; it builds carnosine in your muscles over time, and carnosine helps handle the acid buildup during intense sets. That's why the burn feels easier to push through after using it regularly. It's killer for hypertrophy training, sprint-style reps, and those later sets where fatigue starts killing your performance.
Strength gets real love here with 5g creatine monohydrate, the standard daily dose for reloading phosphocreatine, regenerating ATP, and keeping power up on repeats. A lot of pre-workouts cheap out on creatine or skip it. Here, it's at the exact am
RYSE Godzilla Pre by RYSE contains 1g Total Carbohydrate, a effective dose for muscle protein synthesis.
Key Highlights
- 9,000mg L-Citrulline — this is a big dose, way above the usual 6-8g from studies for nitric oxide and blood flow. It boosts arginine better than taking arginine itself, leading to wider blood vessels, better muscle feeding, and the kind of pump serious lifters love in a top pre-workout.
- 2,000mg Citrulline Nitrate as NO3-T® — this throws in a second way to boost nitric oxide on top of regular citrulline. Instead of just the arginine path, the nitrate helps through the nitrate-nitrite route for a wider, smarter pump setup.
- 6,400mg Beta-Alanine — that's double the standard 3.2g from research. It matters because beta-alanine builds carnosine in muscles over time, helping buffer acid so those high-rep sets don't feel like they're drowning you when the work piles up.
- 5,000mg Creatine Monohydrate — the classic dose for strength, power, and reloading phosphocreatine. Tons of pre-workouts skimp on creatine to look good on paper; this one gives you the full amount athletes actually take creatine for.
- 500mg Cognizin® Citicoline — a real dose, not a dusting. Studies on 250-500mg show it helps with attention and quick reactions, making this better for locked-in training than just stim-heavy stuff.
- 400mg Total Caffeine from Dual Sources — 350mg fast-acting anhydrous for quick kick plus 50mg zümXR® slow-release for longer energy. Smarter than blasting all caffeine at once and crashing mid-workout.
- 200mg Theobromine — a chill stim that smooths out the energy. Folks say it feels steadier than caffeine solo, with energy that holds up without the jittery edge.
- 300mg VasoDrive-AP® — a cool hydrolyzed casein tripeptide that makes this stand out from basic high-stim pre-workouts. It adds extra vascular help on top of the citrulline and nitrate, not just leaning on one type of pump ingredient.

Who Is This For?
- Bodybuilders in growth phases chasing that full, dense feel and mind-muscle link over just a buzz. 9g L-citrulline, 2g NO3-T®, and 300mg VasoDrive-AP® give a way better pump than basic 4-6g formulas, while 500mg Cognizin® keeps you focused through long workouts.
- Powerbuilders mixing heavy lifts with volume accessories who need quick power and fatigue fighting. 5g creatine monohydrate helps ATP for explosive stuff, and 6.4g beta-alanine handles acid buffering when reps add up.
- Seasoned pre-workout users ready for more than mild stims, wanting something that lasts the whole session. 350mg fast caffeine plus 50mg zümXR® slow-release is for a strong start without the usual crash.
- Athletes in hot gyms or heavy sweaters during long sessions who need electrolytes in their pre. 600mg sodium, 200mg potassium, and Pink Himalayan Sea Salt support fluids, contractions, and steady performance with big sweat.
- Lifters wanting one tub that covers pump, stims, and creatine instead of buying separate. This has full doses of citrulline, beta-alanine, creatine, caffeine, and citicoline—not tiny bits across jars.
- High-volume leg day grinders who get the diff between hype and real fatigue control. Beta-alanine, creatine, electrolytes, and strong NO support fit brutal squats, presses, and machines where power and repeats count.
How to Use
Take Godzilla 20-30 minutes pre-workout to sync with the caffeine curve and let pumps ramp up. If you're new or stim-sensitive, start with one scoop; two scoops pack 400mg total caffeine plus 200mg theobromine, which is serious stim territory. Shake each scoop with lots of cold water in a bottle—not a quick stir in a glass—because the serving's big and diluting helps taste and mixing. Lots of people like it on an empty stomach for faster kick, but if caffeine or tingles bug you, eat light 60-90 minutes before. Don't take it near bed—the 350mg fast plus 50mg slow-release caffeine can mess with sleep for hours. If you already do creatine, factor in the 5g here. No need for extra pump stuff since the NO side is stacked, but protein and carbs around training fit great for performance and recovery. Tolerance can creep up, so save two scoops for big days or mix in low-stim sessions. Keep it sealed in a cool, dry spot—powder like this clumps with moisture.
What to Expect
First 0-10 minutes, it's mostly the mix settling and that pre-workout excitement. By 10-20 minutes, fast caffeine hits, and lots of folks get beta-alanine tingles from the 6.4g, especially without food. 20-40 minutes is prime time—energy peaks, focus sharpens, and citrulline plus nitrates bring the pumps and drive. From 40-90 minutes, it holds steady better than basic caffeine pre-workouts thanks to 50mg zümXR® slow-release and 200mg theobromine. Days 1-7, you feel energy, focus, and pump most; creatine and beta-alanine are working but not maxed out yet. Weeks 2-4, repeat users notice better fatigue handling from beta-alanine and steady strength from creatine. That's when it feels like a real tool, not just a quick hit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in RYSE Godzilla Pre-Workout?
At the full 2-scoop serving, Godzilla provides 350mg caffeine anhydrous plus 50mg zümXR® extended-release caffeine for 400mg total caffeine. At 1 scoop, that is effectively 200mg total. The split delivery is designed to give faster onset from anhydrous caffeine with a more sustained energy curve from zümXR®.
Is the 2-scoop serving necessary to get the full formula benefits?
Two scoops is the intended full-performance serving and the only way to get the label’s full 9g citrulline, 6.4g beta-alanine, 5g creatine, and 500mg Cognizin®. One scoop is still useful, especially for assessing tolerance, but it delivers half of every active and functions more like a moderate pre-workout.
What makes the pump in Godzilla different from standard pre-workouts?
Most pre-workouts rely mainly on one nitric oxide strategy, usually citrulline alone. Godzilla combines 9g L-citrulline with 2g citrulline nitrate as NO3-T® and 300mg VasoDrive-AP®, giving it a more layered vasodilation and blood flow profile than simpler formulas.
Will Godzilla make me tingle?
Very likely, especially at 2 scoops. The formula contains 6.4g beta-alanine, which commonly causes a harmless tingling or prickling sensation called paresthesia; it is a normal response and not an indicator that the ingredient is working only in that moment, since beta-alanine’s main benefit comes from daily loading.
Can I take Godzilla if I already use creatine separately?
Yes, but you should account for the 5g creatine monohydrate already included in the full serving. For many users, that is already the standard daily target, so additional creatine is usually unnecessary unless you are splitting doses intentionally.
Is Godzilla good for strength training or just for pump workouts?
It is built for both. The pump side is strong because of the citrulline, nitrate, and VasoDrive-AP®, but the formula also includes 5g creatine monohydrate for ATP support and 6.4g beta-alanine for repeated high-intensity efforts, which makes it highly relevant for heavy compound training and high-volume strength work.
How late in the day can I take Godzilla?
Most users should avoid taking it within 6-8 hours of bedtime, and some will need a larger buffer. The formula includes 400mg total caffeine with 50mg from an extended-release source, so the wakefulness effect can last longer than standard pre-workouts.
Is this formula fully transparent?
Yes on the active formula shown here—major ingredients and doses are disclosed rather than hidden inside a prop blend. That matters because you can directly compare the citrulline, beta-alanine, creatine, and Cognizin® doses against the research instead of guessing what you are actually getting.
Can I stack Godzilla with a pump product?
Most users will not need to. With 9g L-citrulline, 2g NO3-T®, and 300mg VasoDrive-AP®, the formula already covers the pump category more aggressively than most standalone stim pre-workouts.
Does Cognizin® actually matter in a pre-workout?
Yes, especially at 500mg. Cognizin® is a branded citicoline used in human research on attention and psychomotor performance, so this is one of the more credible focus ingredients in the formula and helps make the energy feel more directed rather than merely stimulating.
