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: REDCON1 Total War
$1.50 against $2.00 a serving at the prices FormulaSignal observed (Aug 3, 2026). Not every price here is established as a list price.
You want creatine in the same scoop: Cellucor C4 Ultimate
Cellucor C4 Ultimate declares Creatine Nitrate (as NO3-T) at 1.5 g; REDCON1 Total War's complete label declares no creatine.
You want more of the main actives at researched doses: Cellucor C4 Ultimate
4 of 6 main actives on Cellucor C4 Ultimate sit inside the dose range the cited research used, against 1 of 2 on REDCON1 Total War. A comparison of numbers, not of how well either works.
