Transparent Labs Bulk Black vs Gorilla Mode: Which Is Better?

Gorilla Mode is the more loaded formula, adding 5g creatine and 4g HydroPrime glycerol powder along with higher betaine and tyrosine. Bulk Black is smaller but includes 4g beta-alanine plus a focus stack with L-tyrosine, AlphaSize Alpha-GPC and 200mg L-theanine. Bulk Black does not contain huperzine A.

Gorilla Mode adds 4g HydroPrime glycerol powder at 65%, providing approximately 2.6g glycerol, along with 4g betaine and 5g creatine for a much stronger fullness emphasis. Bulk Black uses 8g citrulline malate and 2.5g betaine.

400mg vs 325mg is a meaningful difference. Gorilla Mode delivers the harder stimulant dose, while Bulk Black uses less caffeine and adds L-theanine for a more restrained profile.

Bulk Black includes a full 4g beta-alanine dose. Gorilla Mode intentionally does not include beta-alanine.

Bulk Black gives 30 full servings while Gorilla Mode gives 20 full two-scoop servings. Current retailer pricing should determine which offers the better cost per full serving.

Both Transparent Labs and Gorilla Mind currently publish product testing information. The more useful differences in this comparison are formula design, stimulant dose and intended use.

Choose Bulk Black if:

• You want a more restrained high-stim feel
• You want 30 full servings and 4g beta-alanine
