Comparisons / Cellucor C4 Original Pre-Workout vs Nutrabay Pro Pre-Workout
**Verdict: Nutrabay Pro Pre-Workout is the clear winner** Nutrabay Pro scores 8.3/10 versus C4's 6.6/10, delivering superior value at ₹29.97 per serving compared to C4's ₹93.30—a 68% cost saving. The ₹63.33 difference per serving makes Nutrabay Pro ₹1,900 cheaper per month for daily users. Nutrabay Pro outperforms in dosing (7.3 vs 5.5) with 4000mg L-Citrulline for nitric oxide production and 2500mg Beta-Alanine for endurance—ingredients completely absent in C4. Its 200mg caffeine provides stronger energy than C4's 150mg, while Alpha GPC (150mg) enhances focus better than C4's vitamin-heavy approach. C4's formula score (8.5 vs 8.8) is marginally lower despite containing 1600mg Alpha Lipoic Acid and B-vitamins. However, its creatine dose at 1000mg falls below the clinically effective 3000-5000mg range, and arginine (1000mg) is less effective than citrulline for pump. **Choose Nutrabay Pro** unless you specifically need Alpha Lipoic Acid supplementation or prefer lower caffeine content. C4's premium pricing isn't justified by its underdosed actives and lack of proven pre-workout compounds like beta-alanine and citrulline.
