Decision · From the verified Record

Is C4 Original 150 mg or 200 mg of caffeine?

By the FormulaSignal Record Figures observed through Published 3,185 dated product states since 2017 No paid placement

THE SHORT ANSWER

Both labels are published. The 5th Gen label declares 200 mg of caffeine per serving and a second label declares 150 mg; both were seen Oct 20, 2026. Cellucor's own store moved from 150 mg to 200 mg between pages seen Jan 25, 2024 and Feb 26, 2024. The tub you hold is whichever label is printed on it, so read its panel.

This establishes that both labels are published, not that both are being shipped: no source here shows the contents of a tub fulfilled today, and the retailer page warns that its images and ingredients can lag manufacturing changes. US market. Panels read for Frozen Bombsicle and Icy Blue Razz (DSLD) and Watermelon (retail photo); other flavors are inferred from the shared GTIN family, not read. The 150 mg label itself changed from an arginine AKG panel (DSLD 295487, same Watermelon GTIN) at a date no source here establishes. Stock on a given shelf can be older than either label.

Method

How this page was made.

What FormulaSignal did

  • Answered from the 515 records that are Signal Verified today: labels read twice, dated and sourced.
  • Counted a change only between two dated labels of the same product, flavor, size and sales channel.
  • Computed every figure on this page from those records when the page was served, so it moves when the Record does.

What it did not do

  • No look inside a tub. A label says what a product declares. A record does not establish what a particular container holds.
  • 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.

Questions

Did C4 Original change its caffeine?

Yes, on Cellucor's own store: from 150 mg to 200 mg, between pages seen Jan 25, 2024 and Feb 26, 2024. A 150 mg label was still published beside it on Oct 20, 2026.

Where is the 150 mg C4 Original sold?

When observed on October 20, 2026, Cellucor published two C4 Original labels side by side. cellucor.com/products/c4-original showed the 5th Gen panel (200 mg caffeine, 2 g CarnoSyn beta-alanine). A second Cellucor listing, cellucor.com/products/c4-original-old, offered 30 and 60 servings "from 150mg of caffeine" under GTINs whose filed and retail-photographed panels declare 150 mg caffeine, 1.6 g CarnoSyn beta-alanine, 1 g creatine nitrate and 1 g citrulline malate.

Is 200 mg of caffeine too much?
