The Formula NOVA is an extreme high-stimulant pre-workout designed for experienced users, combining a substantial 12g citrulline-and-betaine base with 3g L-tyrosine, 800mg CDP choline and a 425mg total caffeine system at the full two-scoop serving. At Wolf Supps, this is very much a specialist pre-workout, not something we'd put in the same category as an everyday moderate-stim formula. What makes NOVA interesting is that The Formula hasn't sacrificed the rest of the label simply to chase stimulants — you're still getting 8g citrulline and 4g betaine alongside the high-stim component. Why We Stock The Formula NOVA There is no shortage of “high-stim” products where most of the label effectively comes down to caffeine. NOVA is different. At the full serving, you get: 8,000mg L-Citrulline4,000mg Betaine Anhydrous3,000mg L-Tyrosine800mg CDP Choline before getting into the stimulant ingredients. That combination is the main reason we think NOVA deserves a place alongside the genuinely stronger pre-workouts we stock. It isn't one we'd recommend to everybody, but for experienced users specifically looking for a harder-hitting formula, the label is considerably more interesting than caffeine alone. What's In The Formula NOVA? At the full two-scoop serving, the manufacturer currently lists: 8,000mg L-Citrulline 4,000mg Betaine Anhydrous 3,000mg L-Tyrosine 800mg CDP Choline 350mg Caffeine Anhydrous 100mg Infinergy® Di-Caffeine Malate NeuroPEA® / Eria Jarensis 200mg Juglans Regia Extract 200mg Citrus Aurantium 10mg Black Pepper Extract The Formula states the complete serving supplies approximately 425mg total caffeine once the caffeine contribution from di-caffeine malate is taken into account. A note on NeuroPEA® The Formula's live written description and some current label data do not appear to agree perfectly on the exact NeuroPEA® quantity, so I would not hard-code its milligram amount into your retailer description until you've checked the physical tub you receive. Keep the ingredient listed, but use the physical label as the final source of truth. 12g Citrulline & Betaine Base The full serving contains: 8g L-Citrullineplus4g Betaine Anhydrous. That's 12g from those two ingredients alone, which helps differentiate NOVA from high-stimulant formulas that devote very little serving weight to anything except the stimulant component. High-Stimulant Formula NOVA is deliberately positioned at the high end of The Formula's range. The full serving contains: 350mg Caffeine Anhydrousplus100mg Infinergy® Di-Caffeine Malate with The Formula quoting approximately 425mg total caffeine for the complete serving. It also includes additional specialist ingredients such as Juglans regia, Citrus aurantium and NeuroPEA®. For that reason, this is not where we'd start someone who has never used a pre-workout before. 3g Tyrosine & 800mg CDP Choline NOVA also puts a substantial amount of the serving into its non-caffeine focus ingredients: 3,000mg L-Tyrosine800mg CDP Choline. Again, we'd rather show you those actual quantities than make exaggerated promises about how you're guaranteed to feel. 20 Full Or 40 Single-Scoop Servings Each tub contains approximately 450g. A single scoop is approximately 11.25g, giving around 40 single-scoop servings. The manufacturer's intended full serving is two scoops / 22.5g, giving approximately 20 full servings. That means you can use a lighter serving initially rather than automatically jumping straight to the full dose. Who Is NOVA For? We'd look at NOVA if you are: Already experienced with stimulant pre-workouts Specifically looking for a high-stim formula Wanting substantial citrulline and betaine alongside the stimulants Looking for 3g tyrosine and 800mg CDP choline Comfortable assessing your own caffeine tolerance Not competing in a drug-tested sport This is not a general beginner pre-workout. Important For Tested Athletes The Formula explicitly states that NOVA contains Eria Jarensis / NeuroPEA®, which it warns is unsuitable for athletes competing under drug-testing rules such as the IPF. If you're subject to WADA, federation or workplace drug testing, do not assume this product is suitable. Check your governing body's current prohibited-substance rules before use. How To Use The Formula NOVA For the full serving, The Formula recommends mixing: 2 scoops with approximately 500ml cold water and consuming it around 30 minutes before training. For a lighter serving or to assess tolerance, use 1 scoop. Do not exceed 2 scoops in 24 hours. Because of the stimulant content, take your total daily caffeine intake into account and avoid unnecessarily combining NOVA with energy drinks, coffee or other stimulant supplements.
