Core Nutritionals x Transformers Collaboration Review

We’re so excited to get our hands on the new promo box from Core Nutritionals when we caught up with the team at this year’s Olympia expo in Las Vegas. In an exciting collaboration between Core Nutritionals and Hasbro’s Transformers, the fitness world is getting a taste of nostalgia combined with cutting-edge sports nutrition science. This unique partnership brings forth a lineup of products—Energon (pre-workout), Allspark (hydration + EAA), and Protron (protein blend)—each featuring transformative ingredients to boost your performance in and out of the gym.

Growing up, we spent hours watching Transformers and playing with the action figures. Now, that same excitement and thrill are reflected in the branding of these supplements, with out-of-this-world designs inspired by the iconic characters. From the promo box, which makes sounds when opened, to the collector diecast Transformer figures (32 in total), the experience is immersive and fun. Energon and Allspark come in three exciting flavours: Mixed Berry Kiwi, Sour Lemon Candy, and Blood Orange Passion Fruit. Protron can be found in three unique flavours: Mixed Berry Cheesecake, PB Cookies ‘N Cream, and Vanilla Honey Graham.

While the entire lineup is exciting, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Energon pre-workout, loaded with some of the most effective and well-researched ingredients on the market. Let’s break down the formula and see why it’s worth adding to your pre-workout stack.

Energon: Formula Breakdown

• L-Citrulline (8000 mg): L-Citrulline is a powerhouse for increasing nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to enhanced blood flow and pumps. The 8000 mg dosage in Energon is notably higher than most pre-workouts, eliminating the need to stack it with a pump product. Expect improved nutrient delivery, endurance, and those skin-tight pumps during intense training sessions.
• N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride (1000 mg): ALCAR stands out for supporting both fat metabolism and cognitive function. The 1000 mg dose in Energon enhances mental focus while aiding in the transport of fatty acids for energy production, making it great for endurance and fat burning during workouts.
• Enfinity® (Paraxanthine – 300 mg): Paraxanthine, a cleaner alternative to caffeine, offers sustained energy without the common side effects like jitters or crashes. At 300 mg, Energon provides a strong energy boost with improved focus and endurance, minus the post-caffeine slump.
• VasoDrive-AP® (254 mg): VasoDrive-AP® promotes vasodilation, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to working muscles. It pairs well with L-Citrulline, enhancing pump duration and muscle endurance during workouts.
• Senactiv® (50 mg): Senactiv® boosts cellular regeneration and reduces fatigue, making it ideal for those needing faster recovery between training sessions. It also supports muscle endurance, helping you push through tough workouts.
• Cognizin® (250 mg): Cognizin® enhances mental clarity and focus, crucial for maintaining intensity during demanding workouts. This 250 mg dose supports cognitive function by promoting healthy brain cell membranes, improving the mind-muscle connection for optimal performance.

To round out the powerhouse formula of Core Nutritionals' Energon pre-workout, it includes a few other key ingredients that enhance performance and endurance. Beta Alanine (3200 mg) is known for its ability to buffer lactic acid, delaying muscle fatigue, and enabling longer, more intense training sessions. Betaine Anhydrous (2500 mg) supports muscle power and strength by promoting hydration and cellular function. Finally, Huperzia Serrata Extract (10 mg) aids cognitive function, ensuring mental sharpness and focus throughout your workout. Together, these ingredients create a comprehensive formula that boosts both physical and mental performance.

Final Thoughts: A Winning Formula with Nostalgic Appeal
