Pre-Kaged Stim-Free
Our analysis — editorial take, not from the label
Nearly the same pump and endurance dosing as the caffeinated Pre-Kaged, just without caffeine; Informed-Sport certification stands out for tested athletes, though the 1.6 g beta-alanine dose runs lighter than what most endurance research uses.

Product details
Where this label sits
Kaged Pre-Kaged Stim-Free sits in the stim-free 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 20 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- L-Citrulline · 6.5 g. Sits within the 6-8 g range used in most citrulline pump studies.
- BetaPower Betaine Anhydrous · 2.5 g. Matches the roughly 2.5 g/day dose used in betaine power-output research.
- CarnoSyn Beta-Alanine · 1.6 g. Below the ~3.2 g/day beta-alanine studies typically use for endurance benefits; a lighter single-scoop dose.
- Creatine HCl · 1.5 g. A soluble creatine salt; most creatine research uses 3-5 g of monohydrate, so gram-for-gram creatine content here is lower than a standard monohydrate serving.
Flavors & sweetener
Comes in Fruit Punch and Cherry Bomb, naturally flavored with no artificial colors.
Who it's best for
People who train late in the day or want zero caffeine — the effects here come from the non-stimulant ingredients. 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.
-
Citrulline6.5 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”
-
Betaine2.5 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 2.5 g3.5 g
Trials run from 1.25 g to 5 g a day; 2.5 g, usually split into two doses, is the amount most of them use.
Source: Lee et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2010 — “Betaine supplement (B) was given as 1.25 grams (g) of betaine (Danisco Inc., Ardsley, NY) in 300 mL of Gatorade© sports drink, taken twice daily”
-
Beta-alanine1.6 g
50% of the low end of the studied range0studied 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.”
-
Creatine HCl1.5 g
Creatine HCl has no established studied dose of its own. Brands serve it at a fraction of the monohydrate amount on a solubility argument that head-to-head research has not settled.
Common questions about Kaged Pre-Kaged Stim-Free
Is Kaged Pre-Kaged Stim-Free really caffeine-free?
The label lists 0 mg of caffeine. It is still an active formula — ingredients like L-Citrulline and BetaPower Betaine Anhydrous are dosed to have effects — so read the full label rather than treating stim-free as effect-free.
Why does Kaged Pre-Kaged Stim-Free make my skin tingle?
The 1.6 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 Kaged Pre-Kaged Stim-Free 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.
