Addict Raw Boost

How Pre-Workout Raw Boost by Addict Sport Nutrition supports your objectives

⚡ Beta-alanine (940mg) for lactic acid buffering and endurance support Beta-alanine is the rate-limiting precursor to carnosine, the primary intramuscular buffer that neutralises hydrogen ions produced during high-intensity exercise. Each serving provides 940mg of beta-alanine, contributing to the daily carnosine synthesis needed to delay muscular acidosis and extend the duration of high-intensity effort. At this dose, the characteristic tingling sensation (paraesthesia) associated with higher beta-alanine doses is minimal or absent for most athletes.

🧠 L-tyrosine (150mg) and taurine (150mg) for focus and neuromuscular support L-tyrosine is the precursor to dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline — the catecholamine neurotransmitters responsible for focus, motivation and stress resilience under physical demand. Taurine plays a complementary role in neuromuscular signalling and cellular hydration, supporting the quality of muscle contractions during training. Together, these two amino acids contribute to mental sharpness and physical readiness throughout the session.

☕ 75mg caffeine for clean, well-tolerated stimulation At 75mg per serving, Raw Boost's caffeine content is significantly more moderate than most pre-workouts on the market (which commonly deliver 150 to 300mg). This makes it an ideal choice for athletes who are caffeine-sensitive, who train in the evening and want to avoid sleep disruption, or who want a daily pre-workout they can use consistently without building tolerance as quickly. The 75mg dose is sufficient for measurable improvements in alertness and perceived effort reduction.

🌶️ Piperine (5.3mg) for bioavailability enhancement Piperine from black pepper extract (Piper nigrum) is a well-documented bioavailability enhancer that inhibits the intestinal enzymes responsible for degrading a wide range of compounds before absorption. Its inclusion in Raw Boost ensures that the active ingredients in the formula are absorbed as efficiently as possible from the gut.

💊 Niacin (vitamin B3, 7.5mg) for normal energy metabolism Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. At 47% of the Nutrient Reference Value per serving, Raw Boost provides a meaningful contribution to daily niacin needs alongside its amino acid and stimulant matrix.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Mass gain: 1 serving pre-workout. Supports focus and training quality under a caloric surplus.

🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 serving pre-workout. Clean stimulation with no creatine-related water retention.

⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 serving pre-workout. Daily-use formula for consistent training performance.

Serving suggestion

Mix 1.88g (approximately 1 level measuring spoon) in 500ml of cold water. Shake or stir well until fully dissolved. Consume 20 to 30 minutes before training. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Not recommended for individuals under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people sensitive to caffeine.

Best times to enjoy it

⏰ 20 to 30 minutes before training The standard pre-workout window: allows caffeine, beta-alanine, tyrosine and taurine to reach effective levels by the time the session begins.

🌙 Evening training sessions At 75mg of caffeine per serving, Raw Boost is one of the most sleep-friendly pre-workouts available. For athletes who train in the evening and are caffeine-sensitive, this lower caffeine dose significantly reduces the risk of sleep disruption compared to higher-stimulant pre-workouts.

📅 Suitable for more frequent daily use The moderate caffeine dose and clean formula make Raw Boost more appropriate for consistent daily use than high-stimulant pre-workouts. Adenosine receptor tolerance develops more slowly at 75mg of caffeine than at 200mg or more.

🚫 No creatine — stack freely Raw Boost contains no creatine, making it the ideal pre-workout base for athletes who use creatine monohydrate separately and want complete control over their creatine dosing protocol.

Daily protein target reminder

Raw Boost is a pre-workout performance supplement, not a protein source. For training adaptations to fully materialise, adequate dietary protein intake remains essential. Current sports nutrition science recommends 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight per day for active individuals. For vegan athletes, targeting the upper end (1.8 to 2.2g/kg) is advised.

Goal-specific guidance

For mass gain: Use Raw Boost as your daily pre-workout during a mass-gaining phase. Its clean formula supports training focus and intensity without interfering with your creatine supplementation protocol (add 5g of creatine monohydrate separately to the same serving). Pair with a post-workout protein and carbohydrate source to maximise the anabolic window following each session.

For weight loss and cutting: Raw Boost is particularly well-suited to cutting phases for two reasons. First, the absence of creatine means no creatine-associated water retention, allowing a clearer picture of body composition changes. Second, the moderate caffeine dose provides training energy support during caloric restriction without the excessive stimulation that can exacerbate cortisol levels — already elevated during a caloric deficit.

🏅 Sport Nutrition "Did you know?"

Niacin (vitamin B3) is one of the few vitamins that can cause a noticeable physical sensation at doses above certain thresholds: a temporary skin flushing and warmth known as the "niacin flush." This is caused by niacin-induced prostaglandin release, which dilates peripheral blood vessels. At the 7.5mg dose in Raw Boost (47% NRV), this effect is very unlikely to occur — the flush is typically associated with doses above 50 to 100mg. However, for athletes who are very sensitive to niacin, a mild warmth may occasionally be noticed. This is a normal and harmless physiological response.

Bottle duration guide

Note: At approximately 160 servings per 300g bottle, Raw Boost provides over 5 months of daily pre-workout use at one serving per day — making it one of the most economical pre-workout formats available per session.

Q1 — Why does Raw Boost contain no creatine? The absence of creatine is a deliberate formulation choice. Many athletes already supplement creatine monohydrate separately and prefer to keep it out of their pre-workout to maintain precise control over their daily creatine dose and timing. Removing creatine also eliminates the intramuscular water retention associated with creatine loading, which is particularly relevant for athletes in cutting or body recomposition phases who want a clear read on body composition changes. Raw Boost is designed to be the perfect creatine-free pre-workout base that stacks freely with a separate creatine protocol.

Q2 — Is 75mg of caffeine enough to feel a difference? Yes, for most individuals. Research shows that caffeine improves alertness, reduces perceived exertion and enhances endurance performance at doses as low as 1 to 3mg/kg body weight. For a 70kg athlete, 75mg represents approximately 1.1mg/kg — a dose that produces measurable improvements in focus and exercise performance while remaining well below the threshold where jitteriness, anxiety or sleep disruption typically occur. For athletes who have built significant caffeine tolerance through high daily coffee consumption, the effect may be more subtle.

Q3 — Can I take Raw Boost in the evening? Yes, with more confidence than most pre-workouts. At 75mg of caffeine, Raw Boost has a significantly lower risk of interfering with sleep than products containing 150 to 300mg. Caffeine has a half-life of approximately 5 to 6 hours, meaning 75mg at 7pm leaves approximately 18 to 19mg in your system at midnight — a negligible amount for most people. Individual caffeine sensitivity varies, so athletes who know they are particularly sensitive should still observe a minimum 4-hour window between consumption and sleep.

Q4 — How does Raw Boost compare to PumpCuts from the same brand? Raw Boost and PumpCuts serve different needs. Raw Boost is a balanced daily pre-workout with moderate doses across all categories, making it ideal for consistent everyday use, evening training and creatine-free protocols. PumpCuts is a high-dose pump-specialist formula delivering nearly 20g of vasodilators per 30g serving, designed for maximum muscle pump and intense training sessions. Athletes who prioritise extreme vasodilation and are training at high intensity in the morning would typically prefer PumpCuts. Those who train more frequently, sometimes in the evening, or who want a lighter daily pre-workout, would typically prefer Raw Boost.

Q5 — How long does one 300g bottle last? At the standard dose of 1.88g per serving, a 300g bottle provides approximately 160 servings — over 5 months of daily pre-workout use at one session per day. This makes Raw Boost one of the most economical pre-workouts available on a cost-per-session basis. The small serving size (1.88g) also means the bottle is compact and easy to carry.
