Black Market RULE

485mg of caffeine from three sources, 5g of pure L-citrulline, and eight nootropic ingredients including uridine monophosphate, alpha-GPC and lion's mane.

This is the highest-stimulant pre-workout we carry. Before anything else, one number deserves your attention.

⚠ 485mg exceeds the FDA's daily figure in a single serving

The FDA cites 400mg per day as a level not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults.

A full two-scoop serving of RULE is 485mg — roughly 21% above that figure, in one sitting, before any coffee, tea or energy drink you have that day.

That is not a reason nobody should ever take it. It is a reason to treat it differently from a normal pre-workout:

One scoop is 242mg and is a complete, sensible serving for most people. The tub holds 40 scoops precisely so you can do this
Two scoops should be a deliberate decision, not a default
No other caffeine that day. Not a coffee, not an energy drink
Never more than two scoops in 24 hours

The triple caffeine system is genuinely well designed

485mg from three sources is more considered than 485mg of caffeine anhydrous would be.

Caffeine Anhydrous — fast onset, peaking in roughly 30 to 45 minutes
Infinergy (di-caffeine malate) — caffeine bonded to malic acid, releasing more gradually and generally gentler on the stomach
Café Alatus — a coffee-derived source with its own release profile

Staggering onset flattens the curve, which is what produces sustained energy rather than a spike and a crash. The same principle appears in Caff Plus at a far lower dose.

It does not reduce the total. 485mg is still 485mg — the delivery is smoother, not smaller.

⚠ Two stimulants beyond caffeine

Eria jarensis, 150mg — a stimulant with reported mood and euphoria effects. It is on WADA's monitoring radar and is not appropriate for tested athletes, consistent with our AdreNOlyn Underground and Nootropic pages.

Citrus aurantium (synephrine), 80mg — structurally related to ephedrine, and a genuine stimulant in its own right. Two things matter here:

Synephrine is WADA-prohibited in competition. Another reason tested athletes should avoid this
⚠ Do not take it with grapefruit juice. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme that metabolises synephrine, which can raise blood levels unpredictably. The same caution applies to our NovaBurn page

Dendrobium extract is also present. It has a chequered history in supplements, having previously been used to disguise synthetic stimulants — Black Market disclose it openly, which is the right approach.

Together with 485mg of caffeine, that is four stimulant mechanisms at once. Anyone with a cardiovascular condition, high blood pressure, arrhythmia or an anxiety disorder should not take this product.

Uridine monophosphate is the ingredient worth knowing about

This is the most genuinely interesting inclusion and it is rarely seen.

Uridine and choline are both required to build phosphatidylcholine, a major structural component of neuronal cell membranes. They work through what is called the Kennedy pathway, and each is a separate rate-limiting input.

So pairing uridine monophosphate with alpha-GPC — a choline source — is not two nootropics stacked for the sake of it. They supply two different substrates that the same pathway needs. That is a genuinely thoughtful piece of formulation.

Alongside them: L-tyrosine at 1,500mg (dopamine and noradrenaline precursor, researched under stress and sleep deprivation) and organic lion's mane at 400mg (studied in relation to nerve growth factor, though this is a modest dose).

Frequently asked questions

How much caffeine is in RULE?
485mg in a full two-scoop serving, or 242mg in one scoop. The full serving is above the 400mg daily figure the FDA cites for healthy adults.

Can I take just one scoop?
Yes, and most people should. The tub holds 40 scoops specifically to allow it.

What is the triple caffeine release?
Caffeine anhydrous for fast onset, Infinergy di-caffeine malate for a slower release, and Café Alatus. Staggering onset flattens the curve — but the total is unchanged.

Can I take it if I am drug tested?
No. It contains eria jarensis and synephrine, which is WADA-prohibited in competition.

Why can't I have grapefruit with it?
Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4, the enzyme that metabolises synephrine, which can raise blood levels unpredictably.

What does uridine monophosphate do?
Uridine and choline are both required to build phosphatidylcholine, a structural component of neuronal membranes. Pairing it with alpha-GPC supplies two different inputs the same pathway needs.

How does it compare to Thuper Thavage?
RULE is 485mg but can be taken at 242mg as a single scoop. Thuper is a fixed 400mg with no way to take less.

Can I use it every workout?
Not advisable. Tolerance builds quickly at this dose and there is nothing stronger to escalate to.
