Dorian Yates Blood & Guts 380 g is a high-stimulant pre-workout powder created for experienced bodybuilders, strength athletes and serious gym users who want a comprehensive formula for demanding hypertrophy, strength and high-intensity training sessions.
Developed under the Dorian Yates brand, the formula combines substantial amounts of L-citrulline DL-malate, A-AKG and beta-alanine with L-tyrosine and a strong multi-source stimulant profile based on caffeine anhydrous, green tea extract and guarana extract.
Each full 19 g serving provides 6004 mg of L-citrulline DL-malate, with the supplied product table declaring 4340 mg of L-citrulline. The formula also provides 4009 mg of A-AKG Complex, including 2679 mg of L-arginine, together with a substantial 5500 mg of beta-alanine.
For the stimulant and focus-oriented component, each serving contains 500 mg of L-tyrosine and 350 mg of caffeine anhydrous. Green tea and guarana provide an additional 22 mg of declared caffeine, bringing the calculated total caffeine content to approximately 372 mg per full serving.
The formula is completed with 250 mg of green tea leaf extract providing 237 mg of polyphenols, sweet orange peel extract, niacin and black pepper extract standardised to piperine.
Because of its very high caffeine content and substantial beta-alanine dose, Blood & Guts is best suited to experienced pre-workout users who already understand their individual tolerance to stimulant-based products.
Each 380 g container provides approximately 20 full servings.
