    • Vegetarian friendly
    • 4 Flavor options
    • Inexpensive
  • Negative

    • Some ingredients prone to side effects

AC8 XTREME VERDICT

BRONZE MEDAL – There are some good choices int this product and we like Iron Labs.

However, it is let down by the large quantities of dextrose and caffeine, whilst weighing in light on the Citrulline. However, for the price we’ve marked it in as our bronze medal winner.

Ingredients Summary

  • Creatine Monohydrate to boost endurance and lean muscle mass
  • Beta Alinine to combat muscle fatigue
  • L-Taurine and Citrulline Malate for blood flow
