DY Nutrition Blood & Guts Pre-Workout 380g

Blood & Guts by DY Nutrition is a pre-workout powder with amino acids, plant extracts and vitamin B3. The formula combines citrulline malate, beta-alanine and A-AKG. In addition, it contains L-tyrosine and caffeine from several sources.

The 380g container provides 20 portions of 19g. However, this is a high-caffeine formula. Read the serving instructions and warnings on your own pack before use.

Blood & Guts Formula

Each listed 19g portion provides 5985mg L-citrulline DL-malate and 5500mg beta-alanine. Furthermore, the blend supplies 4009mg A-AKG complex and 500mg L-tyrosine.

The A-AKG complex contains L-arginine and calcium alpha-ketoglutarate. Therefore, its full weight should not be read as the amount of pure L-arginine. Likewise, citrulline malate includes both citrulline and malate.

Caffeine From Three Sources

Blood & Guts contains 350mg caffeine anhydrous per listed portion. In addition, green tea contributes approximately 13mg caffeine, while guarana contributes approximately 9mg.

As a result, the total is approximately 372mg caffeine per 19g. This is the combined amount, rather than an extra amount to add to the three sources.

Therefore, do not combine this product with other pre-workouts, energy drinks or stimulant supplements. Also, account for caffeine from coffee and other drinks.

Portion Size and Use

The supplied Blood & Guts panel uses 19g as its reference portion. At that weight, the 380g pack contains 20 portions.

First, check the directions on your container for the recommended intake and water volume. Then, measure any permitted portion by weight, since scoop fullness can vary. Always mix the powder with water; never consume it dry.

Do not exceed the label’s daily limit. Furthermore, do not assume that a full 19g portion suits everyone simply because the nutrition panel lists it.

Blood & Guts Flavours

The supplied flavour range includes Bubble Gum, Blueberry and Mango. Additionally, the options include Mojito and Pear-Kiwi.

Choose your preferred flavour from the available product options. However, check its label for the exact ingredients, colours and allergen information, as these may differ between flavours.

Additional Active Ingredients

Each listed Blood & Guts portion contains 250mg green tea extract, including 237mg total polyphenols. In addition, it provides 186mg sweet orange peel extract and 41mg guarana extract.

The formula also supplies 1.9mg black pepper extract, including 1.7mg piperine. These component amounts form part of their respective extracts, so they should not be counted twice.

Finally, the supplied panel lists 47.6mg vitamin B3 per 19g portion. Check this amount alongside any other vitamin products in your routine.
