Which fits you

Choose by what you care about.

Each line is a measured difference between the two labels, not a verdict. Nothing here says either product works, or is safe for you.

  • Cost per serving matters most: Cellucor C4 Original

    $1.17 against $1.50 a serving at the prices FormulaSignal observed (Oct 27, 2026 and Aug 3, 2026). Not every price here is established as a list price.

  • You want a formula without beta-alanine: Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode

    Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode's complete label declares none; Cellucor C4 Original declares 2 g.

  • You want more of the main actives at researched doses: Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode

    3 of 3 main actives on Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode sit inside the dose range the cited research used, against 1 of 5 on Cellucor C4 Original. A comparison of numbers, not of how well either works.

Ingredient by ingredient

What both declare, and what only one does.

Matched by FormulaSignal's normalized identity, so two brand names for the same compound line up and two forms of one ingredient do not. Vitamins, minerals and electrolytes are left out; caffeine is compared as a total above.

Method

How this page was made.

What FormulaSignal did

  • Read Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode's label as Gorilla Mind published it, observed August 3, 2026.
  • Read Cellucor C4 Original's label as Cellucor published it, observed October 20, 2026.
  • Matched 16 declared active ingredients by normalized identity, so two brand names for one compound line up.
  • Checked each main active's declared dose against the range the cited research used: 3 of 3 on Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode; 1 of 5 on Cellucor C4 Original.
  • Looked for confirmed formula changes on either product: 2 on file, each reviewed against two dated sources.

What it did not do

  • No taste test and no lab test. Every figure is what a label or a brand's own page declares, not what was measured in a tub.
  • No score and no winner. Differences are measured and shown; nothing is rated.
  • No payment and no preview. No brand paid to appear, and none saw this page before it was published.
  • No health advice. Whether an ingredient or an amount suits you is a question for a clinician.
