Product Description
Cellucor C4 Ripped Pre-Workout – Cut Fat. Not Intensity.
C4 is one of the most recognised pre-workout brands on the planet. C4 Ripped takes everything that made the original formula a bestseller — the clean energy, the focus, the endurance support — and rebuilds it specifically for those who want to train hard while pursuing a leaner, more defined physique.
The result is a creatine-free, thermogenic pre-workout that combines proven performance amino acids with a targeted fat metabolism complex. No unnecessary bulk. No water retention. Just controlled energy, enhanced endurance, and metabolic support that works alongside your cutting goals — not against them.
Whether you're in a calorie deficit, working through a cutting phase, or simply looking for a lighter pre-workout that supports a leaner physique without compromising on training intensity, C4 Ripped is the formula built for the job.
Key Benefits
Clean, Controlled Energy & Focus
150mg of Caffeine Anhydrous delivers a fast-acting, precise energy boost without the excessive stimulant overload associated with higher-dose pre-workouts. At 150mg — roughly equivalent to one and a half strong coffees — this is a measured, effective dose that sharpens focus, increases alertness, and provides sustained training energy without the jitteriness, anxiety, or post-session crashes that come with 300mg+ formulas.
500mg of L-Tyrosine supports dopamine and noradrenaline synthesis, contributing to improved cognitive performance, mental clarity, and motivation under the physical demands of training — complementing the caffeine with a nootropic dimension that keeps the mind as sharp as the body is energised.
Enhanced Endurance with CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine
At 1600mg of CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine — the only patented, clinically studied form of beta-alanine — C4 Ripped delivers meaningful endurance support in every serving. Beta-alanine works by increasing muscle carnosine levels, which buffers the build-up of lactic acid during high-intensity exercise, delaying the onset of muscular fatigue and allowing you to push harder for longer before performance begins to degrade.
The characteristic beta-alanine tingling sensation (paresthesia) is a normal physiological response and a sign the ingredient is working as intended. It typically subsides within 15–20 minutes and diminishes with regular use as muscle carnosine levels increase over time.
Fat Metabolism Support
C4 Ripped's defining feature is its dedicated fat metabolism complex — four targeted ingredients that work through complementary mechanisms to support the body's ability to mobilise and utilise fat as a fuel source:
- L-Carnitine Tartrate (500mg) – one of the most extensively researched fat metabolism ingredients available. L-Carnitine plays a critical role in transporting long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane, where they are oxidised (burned) for energy. By increasing fatty acid availability for energy production, L-Carnitine supports the body's preference for fat as a fuel source — particularly relevant during calorie-restricted training phases. Carnitine Tartrate is one of the most bioavailable forms, ensuring efficient absorption and utilisation
- Green Coffee Bean Extract (200mg) – standardised for chlorogenic acid, a naturally occurring polyphenol associated with reduced glucose absorption in the gut and improved insulin sensitivity, supporting better blood sugar regulation and reduced fat storage. Green coffee bean extract has been the subject of significant clinical attention for its role in supporting healthy body weight and metabolic rate
- Capsimax® Cayenne Fruit Extract (50mg) – a patented, concentrated form of capsaicin from Capsicum annuum, encapsulated using OmniBead technology for precise, comfortable delivery without gastric irritation. Capsaicin is one of the most well-researched thermogenic compounds available, associated with increased caloric expenditure, enhanced fat oxidation, and reduced appetite. Capsimax® specifically has been the subject of human clinical studies demonstrating improvements in lipolysis (fat breakdown) and energy expenditure at rest and during exercise
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract (50mg) – a traditional adaptogenic botanical with modern research supporting its role in reducing fatigue, supporting energy metabolism, and improving physical performance under stress. Ginseng complements the fat metabolism stack with additional energy and endurance support while contributing adaptogenic stress resilience to the overall formula
Blood Flow & Endurance Support
1000mg of L-Citrulline supports nitric oxide production and vasodilation, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles during training. This enhances the pump experience, supports nutrient delivery to muscles under load, and contributes to improved exercise capacity — particularly relevant during calorie-deficit training where energy availability may be limited.
B-Vitamin Energy Complex
C4 Ripped includes a full B-vitamin spectrum to support energy metabolism at the cellular level — converting the macronutrients from your diet into usable fuel and supporting normal psychological function throughout demanding training sessions:
- Niacin (B3) – 7.5mg / 47% NRV – supports energy metabolism and reduces fatigue
- Vitamin B6 – 0.5mg / 36% NRV – essential for amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis
- Folic Acid – 100µg / 50% NRV – supports normal cell function and reduces tiredness
- Vitamin B12 – 1.25µg / 50% NRV – contributes to normal energy metabolism and reduction of fatigue
Creatine-Free Formula
Creatine is an excellent supplement for building mass and strength — but it causes intramuscular water retention that works directly against a lean, defined aesthetic. C4 Ripped is deliberately creatine-free, making it the ideal pre-workout choice for cutting phases, weight management goals, or any context where minimising water retention and keeping bodyweight lean is a priority.
