10g Citrulline. 3g NO3-T®. Nearly 400mg layered energy.

Core Nutritionals Ascension Elite is a top-shelf pre-workout with everything out in the open, made to boost every part of your workout with doses that match what studies show works, without making you pick between pumps, energy, focus, or stamina. It's not about one star ingredient—it's a full setup. In one 40g scoop, you get nitric oxide boosters, hydration helpers, endurance support, energy reloaders, brain aids, electrolytes, and stims that kick in quick and last.

The pump side is stacked. You get 10,000mg of L-Citrulline, which is more than the usual 3-8g from research—citrulline boosts arginine levels better than taking arginine straight, leading to better blood flow and nitric oxide for those full-muscle feels. Then there's 3,000mg of NO3-T® arginine nitrate for another way to ramp up nitric oxide through nitrates, working alongside citrulline for even better results. HydroPrime® at 2,000mg pulls in water for super hydration and bigger-looking muscles, while VasoDrive-AP® at 508mg—a special peptide from casein—helps keep blood vessels relaxed by blocking ACE. It's not a quick pump—it's one that sticks around with real hydration.

On performance, it's no joke. Beta-alanine is at 6,400mg, twice the standard 3.2g that builds up carnosine in muscles to fight off that burn from hard reps. Creatine monohydrate is a full 5,000mg, the daily dose that helps recharge ATP for more strength and better workouts over time. Taurine at 2,000mg suppor

Core Ascension Elite by Core Nutritionals contains 125mg Magnesium, a effective dose for muscle protein synthesis.

Key Highlights

  • 10,000mg L-Citrulline — this is a beast of a dose, higher than the usual research amounts for boosting nitric oxide and blood flow. You'll feel bigger pumps, better nutrient delivery to muscles, and that full, tight muscle look way more than with the standard 4-6g stuff.
  • 3,000mg NO3-T® Arginine Nitrate — this pre doesn't just hit one pump path. Citrulline handles the arginine side, nitrates cover another angle, so you get wider blood vessels and better flow than single-ingredient options.
  • 508mg VasoDrive-AP® — this patented peptide from milk isn't common at this dose in regular pre-workouts. It supports blood vessel health in its own way, adding to citrulline and nitrates for pumps that last longer without overlapping too much.
  • 2,000mg HydroPrime® — a solid glycerol hit that hydrates you up, swells muscle cells, and makes your arms or legs look pumped and full. It backs up the nitric oxide with real water support, not just empty promises.
  • 6,400mg Beta-Alanine — this endurance dose is way above the usual 3.2g that loads carnosine in muscles. Stick with it, and you'll push through high-rep sets without the burn hitting as fast.
  • 5,000mg Creatine Monohydrate — the full daily dose of the king of strength supps. No need to add extra creatine—this covers the research-backed amount for power, energy, and gains.
  • 2,000mg L-Tyrosine — a good amount for intense workouts where you need focus under pressure. Tyrosine helps make dopamine and norepinephrine, so you get energy that's controlled, not wild, even with all the stims.
  • 600mg Alpha-GPC 50% — gives about 300mg of active stuff, a solid choline source for better focus and connecting mind to muscle. With huperzine A, it's a real brain boost beyond just caffeine.

Who Is This For?

  • Bodybuilders in high-volume phases who want every rep to feel solid, not just a quick buzz. 10g citrulline, 3g NO3-T®, 2g HydroPrime®, 508mg VasoDrive-AP® make killer pumps, with taurine and electrolytes holding it through long hauls.
  • Advanced lifters who love strong pres and need more than caffeine. Nearly 394.5mg caffeine plus synephrine and rauwolscine for folks wanting big energy with real blood flow, focus, hydration, and stamina.
  • Strength folks in build-up blocks where fighting fatigue is key. 6.4g beta-alanine and 5g creatine help with repeat efforts, energy reload, and handling volume, especially consistent.
  • Lifters chasing that mind-muscle link without getting wired and distracted. 2g L-tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, CognatiQ®, huperzine A sharpen focus for precise, intent-driven sets.
  • Athletes in hot or sweaty workouts needing hydration beyond pumps. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, taurine, glycerol keep fluids balanced to maintain output when sweat tries to drag you down.
  • Tired of shady labels? This one's all out there, with doses at or above study levels, easy to check against real info.

How to Use

Best to take 20-30 minutes pre-gym so fast caffeine and pumps are ready for working sets. It's high-stim with about 394.5mg caffeine plus synephrine and rauwolscine, so newbies start with 1 scoop to test. Mix in 14-20 oz cold water shaker-style; more water makes it taste better, especially with glycerol and big doses. Empty stomach for quicker hit, light meal to ease it if you're sensitive. Don't stack other stims unless you're sure. No need for extra creatine, beta-alanine, or pumps—it's covered. Good to add protein or intra hydration instead. Tolerance builds, so save full scoops for big days or mix in low-stim breaks. Keep it sealed cool and dry to avoid clumps.

What to Expect

First 0-10 minutes: taste hits, stomach settles, stims start creeping in, especially empty stomach. 10-20 minutes: caffeine ramps, 6.4g beta-alanine tingles kick, workout feels more exciting and focused. 20-40 minutes: that's the peak—citrulline, nitrates, glycerol, tyrosine, caffeine bring drive, pumps, and lock-in you can feel. 40-90 minutes: dual caffeine keeps energy steady, not dropping like plain stuff, with hydration and pumps holding up better. Days 1-7: pumps, focus, energy right away, but creatine and beta-alanine are building. Weeks 2-4: carnosine and creatine levels up, formula feels stronger in late sets, not just the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Core Nutritionals Ascension Elite Pre-Workout?

At the full 2-scoop serving, Ascension Elite provides 300mg caffeine anhydrous plus 135mg zümXR® standardized to 70% caffeine, yielding about 94.5mg more. That brings total caffeine to roughly 394.5mg per serving, before accounting for the stimulatory contribution of synephrine and rauwolscine.

Is Ascension Elite a beginner-friendly pre-workout?

No. This is an advanced-user formula with nearly 400mg total caffeine, 30mg synephrine from bitter orange, and 2mg rauwolscine. Beginners or anyone without strong stimulant tolerance should start with a lower-stim formula or at minimum assess tolerance with 1 scoop.

Why does this formula use both L-citrulline and NO3-T® arginine nitrate?

They support nitric oxide through different pathways. Citrulline increases arginine availability for the arginine-NO route, while nitrates use the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway. Using both is a more comprehensive pump strategy than relying on one mechanism alone.

Does Ascension Elite include a full daily dose of creatine?

Yes. It contains 5,000mg creatine monohydrate per full serving, which is the classic clinical daily dose used to support strength, power, and muscle phosphocreatine saturation.

Why do I feel tingling after taking it?

That sensation comes from beta-alanine, which is dosed here at 6,400mg. The tingling, called paresthesia, is harmless and common at higher doses, especially when taken all at once.

How should I dose Ascension Elite if I have never used it before?

Start with 1 scoop to evaluate tolerance. The full serving is very aggressive due to the stimulant load and the inclusion of rauwolscine, so jumping straight to 2 scoops is not smart unless you already know you tolerate advanced pre-workouts well.

Can I stack Ascension Elite with coffee or a fat burner?

That is usually not advisable. With roughly 394.5mg caffeine plus synephrine and rauwolscine already in the formula, adding coffee, energy drinks, or stimulant fat burners can push the total stimulant load too high for many users.

Is this product more about pump or energy?

It is both, but unusually strong on each side. The pump stack is elite with 10g citrulline, 3g NO3-T®, 2g HydroPrime®, and 508mg VasoDrive-AP®, while the energy side is firmly high stim with dual-release caffeine, synephrine, and rauwolscine.

Does this formula need to be cycled?

The non-stimulant performance ingredients like creatine and beta-alanine do not require cycling and actually work best with consistent use. The stimulant side may benefit from occasional lower-stim days or periodic breaks if you notice caffeine tolerance building.

Does Ascension Elite contain any allergen concerns?

It contains VasoDrive-AP®, which is derived from casein, a milk protein. Anyone with dairy allergy or milk protein sensitivity should review that ingredient carefully before use.

Greasy, does not blend in well but does not leave white marms
Overall, when researching this product, I saw that it does not leave the white residue on your face like normal sunscreen does, I’m looking for a face moisturizer first with SPF but this one feels more just like an SPF sunscreen. It is pretty greasy shortly and after a few hours of having it on, especially when sweating it makes my face feel really oily, and also it does not blend in very well such as pretty much like I just mentioned you could still feel it on your face a couple hours later but if the no white resident is the most important thing for you, it does not leave that residue. It’s cruelty free and vegan product (no animal products in it or animal testing done) so that’s good but I will most likely not be purchasing this .

So so good!!!
Scent: Face Wash, Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This face wash is a game changer! From texture to smell it is perfect. I ordered this for my husband to replace his usual "routine" of washing his face in the shower with bar soap (gasp!). I not-so-sneakily put this in the shower and at his first sample of it he was hooked. It's the only face wash he's tried and actually likes to use on a daily basis. Also, the price point is great! Definitely recommend for anyone seeking an awesome face wash at a perfect price.

Superb
Format: Hardcover
A superb selection of Williams' poetry in a handsome and durable small volume. The editor, Robert Pinsky, selected an appropriate spectrum of Williams' verse across his long career, including all his most famous poems. Reading and rereading these poems is always rewarding because of Williams' ability to capture arresting images, experiences, and states of mind. As with all anthologies, some choices may be arguable. I would like to see all of his great, late poem Asphodel included but Pinsky's choices make sense and reflect his sure knowledge of Williams' work. This book is a great addition to the worthy American Poets Project.

Another excellent volume from the American Poets Project
Format: Hardcover
As stated in another one of my reviews, every single Library of America volume I've ever purchased (including volumes from the American Poets Project) have been of the highest quality, superbly executed and just plain beautiful. Already possessing several volumes of William Carlos Williams work, I purchased this compact, delightful volume as a gift for my oldest son (who shares my appreciation for both great literature generally, and poetry specifically). Upon its arrival (delayed, once again, by amazon's ridiculously slow delivery) I was more than pleased, and felt proud to be presenting my son with such a first rate representation of W.C.W.'s work.
