- Excellent mental focus
- Strong energy and performance
- No proprietary blends
- Pumps are the weakest effect
- High stimulant content overall
- Needs 2 scoops for full effect
Effects Timeline
AI-estimated changes in effects over the first 3 hours after taking the recommended serving.
Pulse is built around mental focus and energy, both genuinely excellent, with solid performance support alongside.
Pumps lag behind the rest, so it's not the top pick if that's your main priority.
Legion also sells a caffeine-free version of this exact formula, though it performs considerably lower across the board without the stimulants.
Honest take: A genuinely strong, focus-forward formula, though the 2-scoop serving eats into the value.
