10g Citrulline, 5g Betaine, 456mg Caffeine—No Hiding

BlackMarket Labs Defy is a super high-stim pre-workout, but it's legit because it doesn't just lean on stims. The idea here is simple: start with solid doses for pump, performance, and focus, then add a big stim kick for that obvious energy boost before training. This isn't for newbies or some weak energy mix—it's a fully open-label, high-performance pre with real amounts of citrulline, betaine, beta-alanine, focus boosters, mood enhancers, and caffeine from multiple spots.

It kicks off with 10,000mg L-citrulline, which is more than the usual 6-8g you see in studies. Citrulline turns into arginine in your kidneys better than taking arginine straight, boosting nitric oxide through a process in your blood vessels. What you feel is wider blood vessels, better flow, bigger pumps, and more nutrients and oxygen getting to your muscles. It also helps clear out ammonia buildup from tough workouts. At this dose, the pump hits hard and you notice it right away.

Then there's 5,000mg betaine anhydrous, which is way more than the typical 2.5g in other pres. Betaine acts as an osmolyte—pulling water into cells—and a methyl donor, keeping cells hydrated and boosting power and how much work you can handle. In the gym, it means you can keep sets tight and push longer before fatigue kicks in.

Beta-alanine at 3,200mg is the low end of what's effective, matching the standard daily dose to build up carnosine in your muscles. Carnosine fights off acid buildup during intense exercise, pushing back that burning feeling and letting you keep going in tough sets that last about one

BlackMarket Defy by BlackMarket Labs contains 48mg Calcium, a standard dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

  • 10,000mg L-Citrulline — this dose is bigger than the usual 6-8g from studies, so you get a killer pump. It boosts arginine levels smartly, ramps up nitric oxide, and delivers that full, lasting pump that weak 3-4g doses can't touch.
  • 5,000mg Betaine Anhydrous — stands out since most pres only go to 2.5g. It pulls water into cells and donates methyl groups, helping with hydration, power, and handling long, tough sessions.
  • 3,200mg Beta-Alanine — spot on for the daily dose that builds muscle carnosine. This buffers acid during hard reps, delaying the burn so your performance doesn't drop off quick.
  • 456.25mg Total Caffeine from 3 Sources — 300mg straight caffeine anhydrous, 100mg Café Alatus™, and 75mg Infinergy™ di-caffeine malate. Gives you quick energy that lasts, not just a fast spike and crash like single-source stuff.
  • 600mg Alpha GPC 50% + 600mg Choline Bitartrate — solid combo for sharp focus, drive, and muscle firing. Alpha GPC boosts acetylcholine signals, and extra choline keeps that locked-in vibe going strong.
  • 1,000mg L-Tyrosine + 500mg N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine — these support your brain chemicals to keep focus sharp under pressure. Tyrosine helps when training ramps up dopamine and norepinephrine use, stopping your mental edge from fading.
  • 100mg L-Theanine — key for balancing a high-stim pre. It smooths out caffeine's jittery side so the energy feels steady and useful, even in this intense formula.
  • 600mg Dendrobium Extract + 150mg Eria Jarensis Extract — these take the energy up a notch beyond basic pres. People dig this combo for better mood, urgency, and that real 'on' feeling before hitting the weights.

BlackMarket Defy by BlackMarket Labs contains 48mg Calcium, a standard dose for training performance and pump.

Who Is This For?

  • Seasoned bodybuilders in growth phases wanting more than just a buzz. 10g citrulline and 5g betaine deliver that crazy pump and session density, with choline and tyrosine keeping mind-muscle link strong in long workouts.
  • Power guys doing heavy lifts then reps. 456.25mg caffeine, 3.2g beta-alanine, and 10g citrulline suit needing big drive and sustained output after early sets.
  • High-stim pros who know their limits and want a real formula. For those past weak store pres, with clear, solid doses of citrulline, betaine, and beta-alanine under heavy stims.
  • Early morning lifters needing one strong pre to get going. Multi-caffeine gives quick anhydrous lift plus longer energy from malate and natural sources.
  • Athletes in tough training blocks where beating fatigue is key. Beta-alanine's loading, betaine's cell support, and sodium make it great for repeated hard sets with short rests.
  • Lifters who need focus with their stims. Alpha GPC, choline bitartrate, L-tyrosine, N-acetyl-L-tyrosine, and theanine make energy feel directed, not sloppy like caffeine-only stuff.

How to Use

Begin with 1 scoop in 10-14 ounces cold water 20-30 minutes pre-workout to test tolerance. Full 2 scoops are for pros, best for heavy or high-volume days if you know you handle strong stims. Use a shaker for this thick powder—mixing right improves taste and feel. Empty stomach gives faster kick, light meal smooths if stims bother you. Don't mix with other caffeine, stim burners, or synephrine stuff without tracking totals. Stacks great with plain creatine, intra hydration, and post protein or carbs. With 456.25mg caffeine plus extras, cycle it—use on big days, not every day if tolerance builds. Store sealed in cool, dry spot to avoid clumps in pump formulas.

What to Expect

First 0-10 minutes: stims start kicking in, and you might get beta-alanine tingles. Empty stomach makes it hit quicker and harder. 10-20 minutes: anhydrous caffeine ramps up, you feel more urgent, and tyrosine/choline turn it into focused drive, not just jitters. 20-40 minutes: peak time—energy's full on, pumps build from 10g citrulline and sodium, sessions feel aggressive and locked in. 40-90 minutes: lasts longer than basic caffeine thanks to Café Alatus™ and Infinergy™. Days 1-7: figure out your tolerance, water mix, and scoop size. Weeks 2-4: beta-alanine's carnosine buildup shines, making hard reps easier to handle before burning out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in BlackMarket Labs Defy?

At the full 2-scoop serving, Defy provides 456.25mg total caffeine from 300mg caffeine anhydrous, 100mg Café Alatus™, and 75mg Infinergy™ di-caffeine malate. That puts it firmly in hyper-stim territory, with both fast onset and a more sustained energy curve than single-source caffeine formulas.

Should I take 1 scoop or 2 scoops of Defy?

Start with 1 scoop unless you already have strong tolerance to high-stim pre-workouts. The full 2-scoop serving is designed for experienced users and dramatically increases both the stimulant intensity and the overall training feel.

What makes Defy different from typical high-stim pre-workouts?

Many high-stim formulas rely heavily on caffeine and exotic stimulants while underdelivering on real performance ingredients. Defy stands out because it pairs the hard-hitting stimulant profile with 10g L-citrulline, 5g betaine anhydrous, and 3.2g beta-alanine—doses that actually matter in training.

Will Defy give me a strong pump, or is it mostly energy?

It does both, which is part of why the formula is compelling. The 10g citrulline dose is above the standard clinical range for nitric oxide support, and the sodium plus pink Himalayan salt help reinforce fluid balance and pump quality during training.

Why does Defy contain both L-tyrosine and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine?

Both are included to support catecholamine-related focus and performance under stress. L-tyrosine has the stronger direct performance context in the literature, while N-acetyl-L-tyrosine broadens the formula’s nootropic-style positioning even though it is less robustly supported than straight tyrosine.

What does the 3.2g beta-alanine in Defy actually do?

Beta-alanine raises intramuscular carnosine over time, and carnosine buffers the hydrogen ions that build up during hard exercise. That means less early shutdown from the burn in repeated intense sets, especially after a few weeks of consistent use.

Can I stack Defy with coffee or an energy drink?

That is generally not a smart move for most users. Defy already delivers 456.25mg caffeine plus synephrine and other stimulatory ingredients, so adding more caffeine can push the experience from productive to excessive very quickly.

Is Defy a good pre-workout for beginners?

No. Between the near-500mg caffeine load and the additional stimulant-style ingredients, this is not a beginner-friendly product and should be reserved for experienced users with established tolerance.

How long before training should I take Defy?

Most users do best taking it 20-30 minutes before training. That gives the caffeine sources time to come online and usually lines up well with the point where you begin warming up and want the focus and pump ingredients to start expressing themselves.

Does Defy need to be cycled?

The performance ingredients do not require cycling in the traditional sense, but the stimulant side often benefits from strategic use. Because total caffeine is very high, many experienced users reserve full servings for key training days or rotate in lower-stim days to manage tolerance.

WOW! This printer has been VERY impressive thus far *UPDATE*
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
My old printer broke (sooner than I would have liked) so I did A LOT of research before deciding to buy this Epson EcoTank printer for home office use. This is my honest review of it this far and I will definitely update my review if I run into any issues. So far, this printer has been pretty impressive (I've been using it for about a month). The price was pretty average for a printer... but I personally think all printers are overpriced so it was a bit more than I would have liked to spend. It is smaller and more lightweight than I was expecting which is a plus because it takes up less desk space than my previous HP printer. It is very easy to set up, comes with step-by-step easy instructions and guided instructions through the app. It only took me about 10 minutes (Mostly just waiting for the printer to initialize on its own). It is very easy and surprisingly satisfying to fill the ink tank. I like the idea that this ink might last longer than traditional cartridges and won't have as much plastic waste that went along with my old HP Inkjet. I have printed plain black and white documents as well as photos. I print all my photos at home, which is most of the printing that I do, so quality was important to me. The photos came out with pretty good quality! No ink smudges or off colors, colors are bright/vivid, and it is easy to modify what paper you're using with automatic prompts on the printer. Now for the negatives and the reason I'm giving this 4 stars... app to printer connection issues. This was a big issue with my old printer as well. I'm pretty tech savvy and I just have no idea why this is still always an issue for me. There is an extra Epson app that you are supposed to download for printing. Sometimes it can find my printer, sometimes it can't. Sometimes it gives me printer errors or won't let me print documents. And now every time I go to print something it says the paper being used doesn't match the paper settings so I have to bypass that error message (even though it does match in settings and the app, and this happens for both regular paper and photo paper). I've turned everything off and back on again, but the issues with consistent connection and error messages are still an issue. Usually with some fiddling around, I can get the documents/pictures to print but sometimes it feels like I'm jumping through unnecessary hoops. I'm still working out the kinks so if I find some magic solution I'll update my review. Considering this is an issue with most home printers I've used, it's not a deal breaker. All in all, if you are looking for a new home printer, I would definitely recommend this one. The quality has been great for me and I am pleased with my purchase (so far). Hope this helps! *UPDATE*: I have now printed HUNDREDS of photos, they are all excellent quality, and my ink tanks are still mostly full. This is WAY better than my HP printer as far as ink longevity. Changing my review to 5 stars just based on how long this ink lasts. User interface is still a tad annoying but so worth it regardless.

Almost a year after purchase and this printer has not let me down!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I wanted to wait to write a review on this printer to see how it held up over time. Happy to report, after almost a year, it is still working perfectly! I was very nervous about purchasing a printer since it was my first time having to shop for one and almost every printer I looked at had something negative to say about the product. After extensive research, I decided to take a leap with the Epson EcoTank 2800. I was looking for a printer to use for recreational use. Something with decent print quality and longevity as well as something on a reasonable budget. I normally print full pages of color and have been using it regularly for around a year and I have about half of the ink that came with the printer left. Safe to say, the ink lasts a while. The quality may not be the top of the line quality you can get with a more expensive printer, but for the price and just everyday use, the quality is satisfactory. It was easy to set up and walked you through the instructions to connect to devices and configure it. The screen is a little small but if you can overlook that, it really is a nice printer. I have used regular printer paper, card stock, and sticker paper with this printer and I try to load only a few sheets at a time to avoid a jam but I haven't had any issues with it so far. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase. It can be extremely difficult to find a decent printer and some reviews can be misleading or leave you with questions on if the product is for you. If you are looking for something for printing everyday with decent quality and ink consumption that won't cost you a fortune, this printer is definitely worth taking a chance on!

My Epson printer is total junk!
Color: White, Style: ET-2800-W, Pattern Name: Printer
I have had many printers over the years. I started with Canon dot matrix printers, and then ink jet printers. In the old days, and ink cartridge contained all the colors, so if red was out, you tossed away the rest of yellow and blue too. They were pricey and wasting ink wasn't something I was OK with. I would pull ink cartridges from dumpsters outside office supplies stores, take them home and draw the ink from them to fill my cartridges with. Then Epson came up with a cartridge for each color and black . That's when I switched to Epson and have used them ever since. I did have an HP in there when I got such a deal I couldn't pass it by, but after several years it died and I switched to Artisan printers. I still have an old 810 that is finicky and I don't want to have to coax it just to print a few pages. I got a WorkForce printer ,used it several times after I got it, and then it sat idle for 5 years or so. I moved recently and decided to set up the WorkForce printer. The new ink cartridges were practically new, but sat for 5 years maybe, so the nozzles and print head needed cleaning, I expected this. It uses mass amounts of ink to do this so then I was out of ink. I ordered new cartridges, and back to cleaning when they were inside. I never got anything to print, plus, the new paper I ordered was as glossy and slippery as photo paper, and the rollers couldn't grip it. I gave up and ordered this printer as a replacement. Setup went OK until I put paper in, then the rollers were slipping and I got jam messages, even though nothing was inside. I pulled the paper and let it finish the initial process. Then I put paper in when it wanted to align the print head. It fed paper OK for now, so I guess maybe I didn't get hosed on this Epson as I did buying the WorkForce Epson. UPDATE November 1st 2025 This is a frustrating printer!!!! I'm using WIFI network to connect the printer to my laptop computer. I like to be able to print or scan from anywhere in the house. If you purchase this frustrating Epson printer, you now have a ball and chain around your leg. You can't print a simple document without some kind of error code popping up and requiring that go look at the minuscule little screen and try to figure out what button you must press to get the document printed. If I have to be right next to the printer, I might as well use a wired connection. I am disabled and it's a real inconvenience for me to have to go to the printer and squint at the tiny screen to try to figure out why it's been ten minutes of my time and I still haven't gotten my 1 page document in my hand. High speed printing is not high speed when you can't get a printed page without having to make several trips back and forth to the printer. I set the default paper to the standard plain white letter paper, only to find it wants to scan to photo paper, so it just sits there like a block of cement and nothing gets done. I had an Epson Artisan 810 that I really liked, except for the automatic feeder quit working so you had to stand there and feed each sheet to be scanned by hand. I didn't want a sheet feeder on the printer because they break down and the you're feeding by hand anyway. I just hate printing anything at all now because of this printer. I wasted several hours one day trying to print documents that I downloaded and needed a physical copy to present in person for a project I'm doing. Normally I would send a PDF file, and let someone else bother printing if that was necessary. After years of purchasing Epson printers, this is absolutely the last Epson I have spent my money on. Never ever again. The first clue should have been when the quick start guide suggested using a smart phone to set up the printer. I'm not going to work from my 5 x 7 phone screen when I can instead use a 15 inch laptop screen, and keyboard. It's simply a stupid idea. Sorry, but no more Epson for me ever!!!! Update: 4/10/26 This is absolutely the most useless and frustrating Epson printer that I have ever ever owned. I cannot see good close up I need reading glasses to read. The digital screen on this printer is minuscule it's like a postage stamp size absolutely worthless. I have to carry a magnifying glass over to the f****** printer so that I can see what that little miniscule screen has to say on it. The most frustrating thing is every time I want to print something which is rare I don't print things every day the printer is not available is the message I always get I go over there by the printer I turn it off I turn it back on, that should clear out any crap that's on it so it's ready to print right? No you would be dead wrong! Instead you get a stupid little mini School screen and wants to be set on copy mode. I don't want to copy anything I don't want to scan anything I just want the damn thing ready to print. Anyway you come back to your your phone and you want to print and a printer still not available. I literally destroyed my phone I was that pissed off. I'm too old to be frustrated like that all the time. At 75 years of age I have had my share of printers over the years starting with the original dot matrix ones. Absolutely none of them were as difficult to use as this stupid printer I got now from Epson. When you want to print something you should be able to send it to the printer and it should print. You should not require a phone app to set the damn thing up! One thing I'll say, it's pretty good on ink because you can't make the damn thing print when you want it to !!!!!!!

Quality Printer
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
Wonderful multi purpose printer. I bought this months ago and finally got it set up. Set up was easy. Love that the printer is so light weight and fairly compact that I can move it wherever if needed. The supply of ink that came with it was awesome. The ink goes a long way. I have printed out a lot of photos on this printer and the quality has been very good. I have not encountered any paper jams. The photo printing has not been smudged nor has the color been uneven. From documents to photos this little printer does it all and does it very well. When my work printer dies I will be replacing it w another Epson Eco Tank for sure.
