Core Nutritionals Fury Black: Next Level Energy, Pumps and Focus

Core Nutritionals Fury Black Supplement Facts

Core Nutritionals is big on formulations and ensuring they are using proven ingredients at dosages that are validated by studies or personal use, as in Doug Miller’s case. Core Nutritionals Fury is the brands stimulant based pre-workout (while Pump is their non-stimulant pre-workout). Core Nutritionals launched a new version of Pump in Pump Black, an upgraded formula from their standard non-stimulant pre-workout. Following that suit Core Nutritionals has also launched Core Nutritionals Fury Black with a loaded formula for those who take their workouts seriously.

Core Nutritionals Fury Black is a 40/20 serving pre-workout. We are going to inspect the supplement facts panel at the 20-serving (31g) dosing.

Citrulline – 10,000mg

Citrulline is one of the most common ingredients used in pre-workouts to elicit blood flow into the muscles. Research on citrulline shows that it is more bioavailable than arginine.

Citrulline is the precursor to arginine in the body. Your body converts L-citrulline to arginine which triggers the nitric oxide pathway. This releases more nitric oxide pushing more blood flow into the muscles. This improves muscular performance and endurance while also improving the look of your pump. It also aids in recovery by bringing nutrient rich blood into the muscles.

The 10,000mg dosage is a massive dosage that sits at the top end of the dosing protocols.

Betaine Anhydrous – 5,000mg

Betaine anydrous is an ingredient used in pre-workout powders for its ability to increase performance during your workouts. It aids in improving strength and power. Betaine helps cells retain water and maintain volume. By doing this it protects cells under stress and improves muscle function efficiency. 

We typically see betaine anydrous dosed at 2,500mg. This is double that.

Beta-Alanine – 3,200mg

Beta-alanine helps buffer lactic acid to improve muscular endurance and performance. It may also aid in recovery by reducing delayed onset muscle soreness. 

L-Tyrosine – 3,000mg

Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that supports the production of dopamine. This can aid in mood improvement and focus. Tyrosine also aids in the production of norepinephrine which can promote alertness. Finally, tyrosine also aids in the production of adrenaline, helping us stay higher energy and higher focused. The 3,000mg dosage is great as it is nearly triple what we have become accustomed to seeing.

Taurine – 2,000mg

Taurine is generally used in sports nutritional supplements to support fluid balance and electrolyte regulation. This, in turn, aids in proper muscle contractions and limits cramping. It can elevate performance by making sure you have electrolyte balance.

Taurine can also support GABA activity, giving users a sense of calm. This is why, at times, you see it combined with higher amounts of stimulants. 

The 2,000mg dosage is nearly double the standard.

Caffeine Anhydrous – 300mg

Unlike Core Nutritionals Pump Black, Fury Black is a stimulant based pre-workout. Core Nutritionals Fury Black uses 300mg caffeine anhydrous. This is a fast actin version of caffeine that will start to provide the benefits of anti-fatigue within 10-15 minutes after consumption. The 300mg dosage has become the standard driver in pre-workouts.

VasoDrive-AP – 274mg

Doug Miller and Core Nutritionals has used VasoDrive-AP in several of their formuals. This ingredient is derived from casein protein that has been shown to improve blood flow and a bigger pump. It is a vasodialator, widening of the vessels to allow more blood to flow into the muscles. This allows the pump to last for a longer period of time. The doseage on VasoDrive-AP is 274mg-508mg.

Cognizin Citicoline – 250mg

Cognizin is a branded version of citicoline. Citicoline supports brain energy, focus, memory, and mental clarity. Cognizin is touted as a better version than generic citicoline as it is touted as high brain availability and strong cognitive effects with great bioavailability. 

Cognizin aids in building acetylcholine in the body. This supports brain function, focus, and performance.

The dosage of 250-500mg is sufficient. 

Dynamine – 100mg

Dynamine is from a company called Compound Solutions. It is not technically a stimulant but it has stimulatory affects. Dynmaine works well with caffeine to provide more of a euphoric experience over a longer period of time by keeping fatigue levels low. The 100mg dosage of Dynamine is what we want to see since this yields 40% (40mg) of Dynamine. 

zumXR – 100mg

zumXR is an extended release caffeine. This yields 70% caffeine which makes this 70mg of active caffeine. The total amount of caffeine in this serving size is 370mg. Because it is an extended release form of caffeine it piggybacks on caffeine anhydrous to extend the feeling of elevated energy over a longer period of time and aids in preventing the caffeine anhydrous crash some may experience. 

Ioniplex – 100mg

Ioniplex is a trace mineral that that transports nutrients directly into cells. By doing so, it can aid in energy levels by reducing oxidative stress. 

Bitter Orange Extract – 80mg

Bitter orange extract yields synepherine. This is standardized to 30% synepherine which means users are getting 24mg of synepherine per dose. This will aid in improving energy, alertness and can elevate body temperature potentially leading to better output and fat loss.

Huperzine-A – 20mg

Huperzine-A aids against the breakdown of acetylcholine in the body. By combining it with Cognizin you are allowing Cognizin to work for a longer period of time in the body. The 20mg dosage yields 200mcg of Huperzine-A which is double what is traditionally used in pre-workouts.

Alpha Yohimbine – 2mg

Alpha yohimbine is a strong supplement that is generally dosed extremely low (i.e the 2mg dosage). It is a stimulant that will improve energy and alertness. It pairs well with caffeine and other stimulants. However, a word of caution, if you’ve never used a product with alpha yohimbine before start with one scoop of this pre-workout to assess tolerance. The 2mg dosage is standard for experienced users.
