Current status: Beast Bulk is no longer listed on Transparent Labs' main store as of September 2026. It appears to have been a limited-run release. Regular Bulk is the closest current alternative; Beast Bulk used the Bulk formula with an additional 1.5g Nitrosigine.
Quick Verdict
Feels like Regular Bulk with better muscle fullness and pumps.
Best for Someone who already likes Bulk's balanced 200mg caffeine formula but wants more pump support.
Downside Energy isn't materially stronger than Bulk, and there's only one known current flavor.
Bottom line Beast Bulk was a worthwhile pump-focused upgrade over regular Bulk, but it is no longer listed by Transparent Labs. If you cannot find Beast Bulk from a legitimate retailer, regular Bulk is the closest current alternative.
Expert Review
20+ years lifting · 200+ tested

Beast Bulk is basically regular Bulk with one addition: 1.5g Nitrosigine.

Energy and focus feel the same to me. The difference is pumps and fullness — and I notice that difference more than I expected from one added ingredient. If you're expecting a high-stim "beast," the name oversells that part.

Longtime Bulk users switching over is a theme I keep seeing in retailer feedback too — people notice the Nitrosigine addition specifically. I'm summarizing that pattern, not restating individual reviews.

The Nitrosigine is the whole reason to pick Beast over Bulk. It's a pump upgrade, not an energy upgrade.

What Makes Beast Bulk Different?

There's exactly one substantive difference. Visually:

Regular Bulk
Balanced 200mg-caffeine daily driver
+ 1.5g Nitrosigine
Bonded arginine silicate for nitric-oxide / pump support
Beast
Beast Bulk
Same base formula, more pump support
Does the Nitrosigine Actually Make a Difference?

For me, yes — but specifically for fullness and pumps, not energy. Nitrosigine (bonded arginine silicate) is a nitric-oxide support ingredient, so a better pump is exactly the effect you'd expect it to add on top of Bulk's existing citrulline and betaine.

Current Beast retailer feedback repeatedly mentions people noticing the Nitrosigine addition, and longtime Bulk users moving to Beast. That's the general theme — I'm not mixing external star ratings into FitFrek's verified reviews.

Energy & Focus

Be clear on this before buying: Beast Bulk is still a 200mg-caffeine, Bulk-like experience — not a high-stim product despite the "Beast" name. The stimulant and focus profile is unchanged from Bulk.

If you want a stronger stimulant hit, that's Bulk Black's job (325mg), not Beast Bulk's. Beast upgrades pumps; Bulk Black upgrades stimulation.
How I Currently Use Beast Bulk + Hydrate Black
Splitting caffeine across the session
Timing · Product · Caffeine
Before training — Beast Bulk200mg
During training — Hydrate Black100mg
Combined across the workout300mg
Beast Bulk's 200mg is sometimes lower than I want by itself. I often prefer keeping that moderate dose upfront and then sipping Hydrate Black during training, rather than front-loading all of my caffeine before the workout.

The Nitrosigine noticeably improves pumps and fullness, but everything else still feels like regular Bulk.

8g citrulline + 4g beta-alanine base
Balanced 200mg caffeine — daily-usable
300mg Alpha-GPC for focus
Fully transparent dosing
Cons
Energy no stronger than Bulk
Only one known current flavor
"Beast" name implies more stim than it delivers
Costs more than plain Bulk if pumps don't matter to you
No longer listed on Transparent Labs' main store
Who It's For
Current Bulk users wanting more pump Moderate-caffeine lifters Pump / fullness chasers People who already own Beast Bulk or find remaining legitimate stock Skip if you want high stim (see Bulk Black) Skip if pumps don't matter and Bulk is cheaper
How to Use It

One serving in water 20–30 minutes before training. Start with half a serving if you're stimulant-sensitive or new to a fully-dosed pre-workout. Stick to one serving, and count caffeine from all sources — including Hydrate Black if you're stacking it — against your daily tolerance.

If you're pairing it with Hydrate Black for intra-workout caffeine, count that additional 100mg toward your daily total.
