Comparisons / Cellucor C4 Original Pre-Workout vs MyProtein THE Pre-Workout
**Verdict: MyProtein THE Pre-Workout wins decisively** MyProtein THE Pre-Workout scores 7.4/10 versus Cellucor C4's 6.6/10, primarily due to superior value and more effective dosing. At ₹23.30 per serving, MyProtein costs 75% less than Cellucor's ₹93.30, earning an 8.2 value score compared to C4's dismal 2.2. The dosing advantage is clear: MyProtein delivers 6g L-Citrulline (clinical dose for pump), 4g Beta-Alanine (effective for endurance), and 200mg caffeine. Cellucor's 1000mg arginine and 1000mg creatine are both underdosed—arginine needs 6-8g for nitric oxide benefits, while creatine requires 3-5g daily. Cellucor's 8.5 formula score (versus MyProtein's 6.0) reflects its vitamin complex (B12, B6, B3, C, folic acid), but these don't justify the 4x price premium for pre-workout purposes. MyProtein's inclusion of L-Tyrosine (1250mg) for focus, theobromine (100mg) for sustained energy, and piperine for absorption creates a more complete pre-workout stack. **Recommendation:** Choose MyProtein unless you specifically need the vitamin supplementation. The ₹70 per serving savings adds up to ₹2,100 monthly for daily users.
