Our analysis — editorial take, not from the label
The only pre-workout in Alpha Lion's line built around creatine, and it carries the full 5g - but only in the two-scoop column, where a 30-serving tub is really 15 sessions. The panel prints both scoop counts side by side, which makes it one of the easier labels to check the headline numbers against the beginner dose.

Cautions
- Every number here is the two-scoop (20g) 'advanced' column; the label prints a one-scoop beginner column at exactly half of each figure, and the tub holds 30 of those single scoops - 15 full servings - with a double-size tub also sold.
- The SXT Energy System line pools caffeine anhydrous with two zumXR release forms at 335mg combined and discloses only the total caffeine yield, so the split between the fast, extended and delayed portions is not on the panel.
- The 5g creatine only arrives on days you take the full two scoops, so a separate creatine dose is needed on rest days if daily intake matters to you.
Formulated for healthy adults — not intended for anyone under 18. Performance studies use roughly 3–6 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight, which puts 315 mg at the studied amount for a 53–105 kg adult. Full health & safety notes
Product details
Where this label sits
Alpha Lion SuperHuman Core sits in the high stim tier of the Scoop Sense pre-workout database, which spans 0–400 mg of caffeine per serving. Every active ingredient on the panel is listed with its own dose — nothing is hidden inside a blend total. It runs 15 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of September 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Creatine Monohydrate · 5 g. The standard 3-5g daily maintenance amount used in creatine research, and unusual to find at the full studied dose inside a pre-workout.
- L-Citrulline · 6 g. At the bottom of the 6-8g range used in straight-citrulline pump research, and it is pure citrulline rather than malate.
- Beta-Alanine · 3.2 g. Exactly the 3.2g daily amount used in most beta-alanine muscle-carnosine loading studies - expect tingles.
- Caffeine (SXT Energy System) · 315 mg. Well above the ~200mg single dose used in most caffeine performance research; the panel's own footnote gives a 157.5mg caffeine yield per scoop, so this is the two-scoop figure.
Flavors & sweetener
Three flavors (Alpha Punch fruit punch, RazzleMania blue raspberry, King Lemonade pink lemonade), sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium and colored with FD&C dye - Red #40 on the current panel, Blue #1 on the flavor checked at retail.
Who it's best for
Users with an established caffeine tolerance. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice. The bars compare what the label states; we do not laboratory-test the product to confirm it.
-
Creatine5 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 3 g–5 g6 g
Maintenance dosing in the research is 3–5 g a day of monohydrate, every day, not only on training days.
Source: Kreider et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2017 — “Once muscle creatine stores are fully saturated, creatine stores can generally be maintained by ingesting 3–5 g/day”
-
Citrulline6 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 6 g–8 g10 g
Studies use about 6 g of pure L-citrulline, or 8 g of citrulline malate — which is about 5.3 g of citrulline at the usual 2:1 ratio, and closer to 4 g if the label is 1:1.
Source: Gough et al., European Journal of Applied Physiology 2021 — “The most commonly employed dose of CM is a single acute 8 g dose”
-
Beta-alanine3.2 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 3.2 g–6.4 g7 g
Studied as a daily loading protocol of 3.2–6.4 g taken for four weeks or longer. A single serving below that range still counts toward the daily total, but one scoop is not a studied dose on its own.
Source: Rezende et al., Frontiers in Physiology 2020 — “It seems that substantial amounts of BA are required to increase MCarn, with most studies using doses of ~3.2–6.4 g·day−1, for periods ranging from 4 to 24 weeks.”
-
Caffeine315 mg
At or above the studied amount0studied range 200 mg–400 mg450 mg
Performance studies most often use 3–6 mg per kg of body weight, which works out to roughly 200–400 mg for most adults. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults.
Source: Guest et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2021 — “Caffeine has consistently been shown to improve exercise performance when consumed in doses of 3–6 mg/kg body mass.”
Common questions about Alpha Lion SuperHuman Core
How much caffeine is in Alpha Lion SuperHuman Core?
315 mg per full labeled serving — roughly 3.3 small cups of coffee. Within the Scoop Sense pre-workout database (0–400 mg per serving) that places it in the high stim tier. The FDA cites about 400 mg per day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults, and coffee, tea, and energy drinks count toward the same total.
Why does Alpha Lion SuperHuman Core make my skin tingle?
The 3.2 g of beta-alanine. The prickling (paresthesia) in the face, neck, and hands is generally considered harmless, is dose-dependent, and fades on its own — typically within about an hour. Most beta-alanine studies use 3.2 g per day.
Does Alpha Lion SuperHuman Core disclose every dose?
Yes — the label lists an individual amount for each ingredient, with no proprietary blends. That is what the "label fully disclosed" tag on Scoop Sense means, and it is what lets each dose be compared against the amounts used in published research.
Do the numbers for Alpha Lion SuperHuman Core assume one scoop or two?
All figures on this page are per full labeled serving. Every number here is the two-scoop (20g) 'advanced' column; the label prints a one-scoop beginner column at exactly half of each figure, and the tub holds 30 of those single scoops - 15 full servings - with a double-size tub also sold..
