How did we increase caffeine in Pre-Kaged Elite while also preserving and improving pump?
Kaged co-founder and head product formulator, Brian Rand, breaks this question down for you ⬇️

As KAGED has evolved so have our customers and products.
In 2015 when we first launched Pre-Kaged, the ideal effective dosage (sweet spot) of caffeine for this formula was 274 mg. For some of our customers, this amount, especially in the context of the classic Pre-Kaged formula, will remain their optimal choice.
However, at Kaged, we are always listening and committed to rising up to meet customer demands. Over the years we have been testing new ingredients and dosages that would allow us to take this product to the next level for our customers who want even more energy, focus, and pump.
In order to turn up the energy and pump, several updates were introduced with ELITE. First, to mitigate any negative performance effects when increasing caffeine to 388mg, we expanded the Energy & Focus blend to include AlphaSize Alpha-GPC, AmaTea guayusa, and huperzine A. Through many rounds of testing and development we were able to find a combination that helped make the energy experience clean and sustainable without the unwanted jitters or headaches.
Second, we upped the total creatine to 5 grams, including 2 grams of patented creatine nitrate with NO3T technology to address potential concerns that higher doses of caffeine can negatively impact creatine absorption. The NO3T also delivers additional nitric oxide support by an additional unique pathway to supercharge the already huge pump capacity of pure L-Citrulline at a massive 10g per serving. This overcomes the theoretical concern that higher caffeine amounts can work against the vasodilating benefits of pump ingredients.
Finally, we added an advanced electrolyte blend to keep you hydrated during longer and more intense training sessions.
We are super excited for our customers to now be able to experience what ELITE energy and pumps feel like! Your workout will never be the same.
