Description
Insane Labz Psychotic
400mg of caffeine in a single 6.8g scoop, alongside beta-alanine, creatine and a stimulant matrix. Do not exceed one scoop in 24 hours.
Psychotic uses a proprietary blend, which makes it unusual on our shelf — and it means you can work out something the label does not tell you directly.
What a 4,459mg blend can actually hold
The entire "Psychotic Blend" is 4,459mg. Individual doses are not disclosed. But the label does state total caffeine, and that lets you do the arithmetic.
| Total blend | 4,459mg |
| Caffeine (stated) | 400mg |
| Remaining for everything else | ≈4,059mg |
That 4,059mg has to cover beta-alanine, creatine monohydrate, AMPiberry, OxyGold, DMAE, rauwolfia extract and huperzine A combined.
Here is what that means in practice:
- Beta-alanine's researched dose is 3,200mg. If it were fully dosed, roughly 859mg would remain for everything else
- Creatine's daily dose is 5,000mg — more than the entire blend. There is no possibility of a meaningful creatine dose in this product. It is present, but not at an amount that will saturate muscle stores
So if creatine matters to you, take a standalone creatine daily regardless. Its presence here should not change your creatine plan at all.
One useful trick with any proprietary blend: ingredients are still listed in descending order by weight. Beta-alanine is listed first, so it is the most abundant component; huperzine A is last, so it is the least. That tells you the shape of the formula even when the numbers are hidden.
⚠ 400mg in one scoop is the entire daily figure
The FDA cites 400mg per day as the level not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults. One scoop of Psychotic is 400mg — the whole allowance, before any coffee, tea or energy drink.
Insane Labz's own instruction is one scoop maximum in 24 hours, and to assess tolerance with half a scoop first. Both are worth following exactly.
Not within six hours of bedtime. Caffeine's half-life is five to six hours, so 400mg at 4pm still leaves around 200mg at 10pm.
⚠ Alpha yohimbine
The formula contains rauwolfia vomitoria extract standardised to a minimum 90% alpha yohimbine (rauwolscine).
Alpha yohimbine is an alpha-2 adrenergic antagonist and considerably more potent than standard yohimbine. In a meaningful share of users it produces anxiety, elevated heart rate, nausea and sweating that has nothing to do with training quality.
Because the dose is inside a proprietary blend, you cannot know how much you are taking. That is the practical cost of a hidden blend — with a disclosed label you could judge; here you cannot.
Not for anyone with a cardiovascular condition, high blood pressure, or an anxiety disorder. Not for tested athletes.
The rest of the formula
- AMPiberry (juniper berry) — Insane Labz's signature ingredient, included to extend the duration of the stimulant effect. The claim of up to three hours is the brand's own; there is little independent research
- DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) — a choline-related compound used for focus. Worth knowing that DMAE's status as a dietary ingredient has been questioned by regulators in some jurisdictions
- OxyGold (fulvic acid) — included as an absorption enhancer
- Huperzine A — slows acetylcholine breakdown. Listed last, so present in the smallest amount
- Beta-alanine — listed first and therefore most abundant. Expect tingling. That sensation is paraesthesia, it is harmless, and it is not an indicator the product is working — carnosine builds quietly over weeks
⚠ Contains FD&C Red #40, a synthetic dye, in at least some flavours. If you avoid artificial colours, 110 Percent uses beet powder instead.
What it does not have
There is no citrulline and no pump ingredient of any kind. Psychotic is built entirely around stimulation and focus.
If you want pumps alongside it, stack a stim-free pump product — GHOST Pump or Pump Script both work, and neither adds caffeine.
Formula versions vary
Insane Labz have reformulated Psychotic several times, and retail listings show different ingredients — some list hordenine, others OxyGold or DMAE. Insane Labz themselves note that previous formula stock may ship until sold out.
Read the panel on the tub you buy rather than relying on any description, including this one.
How to take it
- Half a scoop on first use in 6 to 8oz of cold water, to assess tolerance.
- One scoop maximum, 15 to 30 minutes before training. Never more in 24 hours.
- No other caffeine that day. 400mg is the whole figure.
- Not within six hours of bed.
- Take creatine separately and daily. The amount here cannot be meaningful.
- Not every session. Tolerance builds fast at 400mg.
Where it sits in our range
| Black Market RULE | 485mg (242mg at one scoop) | Fully disclosed. Scoop flexibility |
| Psychotic | 400mg, one scoop | Proprietary blend. No pump ingredients |
| Thuper Thavage | 400mg, one scoop | Disclosed. 6g citrulline, 5g creatine |
| CBUM Thavage | 305mg full, 153mg at one scoop | Best daily driver |
An honest comparison: at the same 400mg, Thuper Thavage discloses every dose and includes 6g of citrulline and 5g of creatine. If you want a 400mg pre-workout, that is the better-specified product. Psychotic's appeal is the intensity of the stimulant experience and the flavour range, which its customers rate highly.
Who this is for
- Experienced stimulant users who have established tolerance at 400mg
- People who are not drug tested
- Anyone who wants stimulation and focus rather than pumps
- People who like the flavour range, which is a genuine strength of the brand
Who this is not for
Beginners, categorically. The brand says so itself.
Tested athletes. Alpha yohimbine.
Anyone with a cardiovascular condition, high blood pressure or an anxiety disorder.
Anyone who wants to know their doses. A proprietary blend means you cannot, and with alpha yohimbine in the mix that is a real limitation rather than a preference.
Anyone wanting pumps — there are no pump ingredients at all.
Anyone counting on the creatine. Take it separately.
Anyone avoiding artificial dyes.
Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing. Speak to your doctor before use if you take any prescription medication.
Stack it with: a stim-free pump product, and a standalone creatine.
Frequently asked questions
How much caffeine is in Psychotic?
400mg in one scoop — the full daily figure the FDA cites for healthy adults, before anything else you consume.
How much creatine is in it?
Not enough to matter. The entire blend is 4,459mg and 400mg of that is caffeine, so there is no room for a 5g creatine dose. Take creatine separately and daily.
Why can't I see the individual doses?
It uses a proprietary blend. Ingredients are still listed in descending order by weight, so beta-alanine is the most abundant and huperzine A the least — but the actual amounts are not disclosed.
What is alpha yohimbine?
Rauwolscine, a potent alpha-2 antagonist that causes anxiety, elevated heart rate and nausea in a meaningful share of users. The dose here is inside the proprietary blend, so it cannot be known.
Can I take two scoops?
No. Insane Labz specify one scoop maximum in 24 hours.
Does it have citrulline or pump ingredients?
No. It is built entirely around stimulation and focus. Stack a stim-free pump product if you want pumps.
Can I take it if I am drug tested?
No. Alpha yohimbine makes it unsuitable.
Does the formula change?
Yes, it has been reformulated several times and older stock may still ship. Read the panel on your tub.
