White Flood New Fruit Punch Flavor


White Flood Fruit Punch is here!

Last month, Controlled Labs announced that they were launching a new White Flood flavor – Fruit Punch! In addition to Electric Lemonade and White Raspberry, users can now choose to try Fruit Punch to change up their favorite pre-workout energy drink.

Controlled Labs also changed the way serving sizes were done, although the scoop size is the same. From now one 1 serving is 1 scoop, so the larger container now contains 100 servings, not 50. Remember, the scoops are the same – so if you were using 2 scoops before, you’ll be using 2 scoops now.

There are now three sizes available, and you can see the prices for all of them on our White Flood Prices Page:

  • 100 servings (these are the prices you see on the right sidebar)
  • 50 servings
  • 20 serving – New Fruit Punch flavor only

You will see these roll out as old stocks are depleted.

How many servings should I take if I currently take 1 serving (2 scoops)?

You will now take 2 servings (still 2 scoops).

How many scoops per serving?

There is now 1 scoop per serving.

Why did Controlled Labs change the serving size/servings per container?

Three reasons:

  • White Flood is a potent product and many were using what was once called a half serving (1 scoop) anyway. A good example is for women and smaller or more caffeine-sensitive athletes.
  • Less confusion – There were constant questions on how much to take.
  • Most other preworkouts are 2-3 servings per workout and many people compare solely on price per serving, which hid the true value of White Flood.

Will the new 20 serving be available in lemonade and raspberry?

For now, only fruit punch is available in 20 servings, but this may change in the future.

We’ll do our best to get some samples and write up a nice review, but rumor is that it tastes great!

The White Flood Stack


Stacking White Flood – The Best Protocols

White Flood is an amazing nitric oxide supplement that will seriously intensify your workouts, but if you want to shatter your goals, there’s still more you can do. Don’t worry – We step you through the noise to get you only what you need.

There are three main plans discussed here:

  1. Bulking with White Flood – I need to get BIG!
  2. Cutting with White Flood – I need to drop body fat!
  3. Maintaining with White Flood – I want to stay where I’m at – happy, fit, and healthy.

First, please note that ALL supplement plans are going to fail if you’re not eating right. You need to properly fuel your body to meet your goals. We are not here to talk about nutrition – this is about creating a White Flood stack. We assume that you have your diet figured out and constantly check it in sites like FitDay. Eat right or your supplements will go to waste!

Basic Protein Guide

We all know that we need a lot of protein, and it’s hard to get enough in diet alone.

Whey protein has two basic categories: whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. The isolates are of better quality – they’re filtered to remove the fat and milk sugars (lactose). They are over 90% pure protein. When cheaper protein gives you an upset stomach or gas, you should switch to a pure whey protein isolate – you might have a very minor lactose intolerance.

Whey protein concentrates are a bit lower quality, and can be anywhere from 29%-89% protein (by weight). The lactose isn’t all filtered out, so it might make you gassy, although most users are fine.

We don’t care HOW you get your protein, just so that you get it. Chicken, meat, fish, nuts, shakes, eggs, poultry… they’re all great and it’s smart to mix them up.

However, we’re huge fans of Dymatize ISO-100. This is a no-BS protein that is tasty, and most importantly, a great deal for a pure whey protein isolate.

For cutting, it’s all about the isolate – there’s less sugar/carbs, something you need to drop in your diet when on a cut. For bulking, go with whatever your stomach can handle – but isolate is still king!


The Base – Supplements for All Stacking Plans

It doesn’t matter if you’re bulking or cutting for these. We recommend these for everyone:

  1. Multivitamin

    We’re big fans of Animal Pak for bigtime lifters and competitive athletes like yourself.

    Animal Pak isn’t cheap, but they’ve been proven for over 25 years. We simply feel better with them. There are aminos and digestive enzymes you may not normally get. Take one pack a day with a meal and you’re set for the day. If you need to save some cash, consider NOW Foods Adam Superior Multivitamin.

  2. Omega-3 Fish Oil

    NOW Foods Omega-3 is a great deal – You should take these because they’re good for the heart and joints.

    The dosage depends on what’s already in your diet. Most Americans get WAY too much Omega-6 but not enough Omega-3, which gets you the inflammation and cardiovascular disease we’re so accustomed to.

    Try five 1000mg capsules each night before bed. Trick: Freeze them to avoid fishy burps – it will take longer to digest, having them further in your gut and away from your breath!


White Flood Stack for Bulking

Workout Day White Flood Stack for Bulking:

  1. 90 minutes pre-workout:

    ~40g Whey Protein Isolate

  2. 30 minutes before working out:

    Two scoops of White Flood.

  3. Immediately Post-Workout:

    ~40g Whey Protein Isolate + 20g Carbs (dextrose) + 5-10g Creatine Monohydrate Powder.

  4. 30-60min later:

    EAT BIG! Protein/carbs/natural fats

  5. Before Bed:

    Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein – this will digest slowly and prevent muscle breakdown overnight. Also don’t forget to take your NOW FOODS Omega-3.

Get in at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight each and every day. Shakes will help you meet this goal, but don’t forget about good food!

Off Day White Flood Stack for Bulking:

  1. First thing in the morning: 5-10g Creatine Monohydrate Powder with juice
  2. EAT BIG!

Weight Gainers for Bulking

You can use weightgainers, but don’t come to rely on them for everything. Real food rules. Consider using one weight gainer shake per day, but no more. Check out Dymatize Super Mass Gainer for a great deal. Half a serving is PLENTY here! Monitor your calories/carbs/protein/fat!


White Flood Stack for Cutting

Once again, if your diet isn’t finely-tuned, you’re not going to succeed.

Run this stack for a max of 8 weeks.

CLA and Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

In addition to your Everyday Supplements of fish oil and multivitamins, we also urge you to take ~4g of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)during your cut. This reduces body fat (and reduces cancer risk!) and is cost-effective.

We recommend NOW Foods CLA. Take 2g in the morning with a meal and 2g before bed with your fish oil.

Amino Acids (Both BCAAs and EAAs) will be used here. Keep aminos in your system during your cuts so that your muscles don’t get broken down when your body needs amino acids. These also increase endurance, reduce fatigue, and help with your muscular recovery after working out.

Purple Wraath is made by Controlled Labs, just like White Flood, and is absolutely delicious.

When cutting, we recommend using Controlled Labs REDuction as your fatburner. This contains both an AM and PM formula for intense energy and wicked

White Flood and REDuction both have stimulants, so you don’t need as much White Flood – Consider only one scoop!

Workout and/or Cardio Days White Flood Cutting Stack

  1. First thing in the morning:

    2 Red (AM) REDuction tablets

  2. 30 Minutes Pre-Workout:

    1 scoop White Flood

  3. 15 Minutes Pre-Workout:

    Start drinking some Purple Wraath

  4. During Workout/Cardio:

    Sip on Purple Wraath

  5. Post-Workout:

    Finish your Purple Wraath

  6. 15 Minutes Post-Workout:

    Whey Protein Isolate + ~5g Creatine Monohydrate Powder (creatine is optional)

  7. Before Bed:

    Take two black (PM) REDuction tablets

Off Days – White Cutting Stack

  1. Get your everyday supplements + CLA in.
  2. Take REDuction as directed
  3. Follow your cutting diet – watch the sugars and carbs!
  4. Sip on Purple Wraath throughout the day.


White Flood Stack for Maintenance

You’re one of the few who are happy with where you are – Maybe you just need to slowly make gains with your incredible White Flood workouts.

All you need to do is follow the White Flood Bulking Plan, but drop the weightgainer. It comes down to White Flood, protein, creatine (optional), and a healthy lifestyle.

Don’t forget your Everyday Supplements of Fish Oil and Multivitamins!

If you have any questions, you should head over to the Controlled Labs Forums and do a search. Kindly ask a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for. (Please note that we are not affiliated with Controlled Labs).

White Flood vs. NO-Xplode


The pre-workout supplement landscape has become very competitive, and there are many products out there. The most prominent product is BSN’s NO-Xplode, which is the original nitric oxide pre-workout supplement.

While we pay our respects to NO-Xplode for starting the pre-workout drink revolution, times have changed. New products like White Flood have improved on the formula with more powerful, leaner, and less expensive mixes. Here are some of the big differences in the matchup of White Flood vs. NO-Xplode.

Value of White Flood vs. NO-Xplode

White Flood is a very powerful pre-workout drink, and each serving is two scoops. You get 50 of these servings per can, meaning there are 100 scoops. Some people, such as women and caffeine-sensitive beginners only need 1 scoop of White Flood. Most users use two scoops of White Flood, and rarely ever want more.

NO-Xplode, however, has 50 total scoops, and requires that you use anywhere from 1-3 scoops! The average user uses two scoops.

According the PricePlow Supplement Price Comparison engine, you can get a can of NO-Xplode for $33. You can get White Flood through this site at $36.

This means that at two scoops per workout, you’re getting 25 NO-Xplode workouts for $33, or 50 White Flood workouts for $33. The winner is clear.

Value Advantage: White Flood

Calories and Carbohydrates in White Flood and NO-Xplode

BSN NO-Xplode Label

NO-Xplode Nutrition Label

White Flood is a calorie-free, carb-free mix. However, NO-Xplode has 6 grams of carbs, in the form of maltodextrin (it also reads “modified glucose polymers”).

Maltodextrin is a very unhealthy carbohydrate because it has a high glycemic index. This means that it causes an unusulaly high insulin spike, and the high levels of insulin must be used to store the carbs as body fat in your cells. It is merely fat-storing filler that you don’t need.

Needless to say, if you’re on a cutting plan or do not want to risk gaining fat, two scoops of NO-Xplode will provide you with 12 fat-storing carbs that White Flood doesn’t have. While you will probably use most of those carbs during your workout, White Flood enables you to get right to burning your own fat.

Calorie Content Advantage: White Flood

Arginine PUMP Complexes in White Flood and NO-Xplode

White Flood’s label is easy to understand. They provide you 2200mg of Arginine AKG, which is the ingredient that gives you the “pump” when working out. You also get 800mg of Ornithine AKG, which assists with this pump and induces growth hormone creation. This is a perfect amount of AAKG and OAKG to give you a sweet pump.

NO-Xplode? Who knows what you’re getting. The entire ingredient label is a giant mystery. Each scoop has 18000mg of ’stuff’, with ??? amount of pump complex, where AAKG is only one of the ingredients.

While we don’t know the exact numbers on everything in White Flood, we at least have a barometer. With NO-Xplode, on the other hand, you have absolutely no freaking clue what you’re putting into your body. You spend a lot of time tweaking your diet – now you’re going to trust this product to ruin it all?

Pump Complex Advantage: White Flood

Creatine in White Flood vs. NO-Xplode

We are big believers in creatine, but we also like to know how much we’re getting and we’re picky about when to get it.

White Flood contains no creatine. Some people don’t like this, and that’s fine. We choose to get ours in at a different time.

NO-Xplode does contain creatine, but it is not the trusted, tried, and true version of creatine monohydrate. Instead, you get (yet again) an unknown amount of the questionable creatine ethyl ester (which tastes miserable), sodium creatine phosphate (which has very little research), and creatine alpha-amino-N-butyrate (which has practically NO research). But are you getting 5g? How much more to add before you start having issues?

If you never supplement your own creatine at other times, then NO-Xplode’s is better than nothing. But with White Flood, the stacking possibilities are endless. We like to get our creatine when our absorption is at its best — first thing in the morning and immediately post-workout. This allows us to use White Flood and still have our preferred stack.

Plus, Creatine Monohydrate Powder is ultra-cheap, and you’ll need to add more to NO-Xplode anyway.

Creatine Advantage: Toss-up

Magnesium in White Flood and NO-Xplode

Magnesium is prescribed to help with constipation. It softens your stool. Are you sure this is what you want to take before working out? Are you in the mood to make a run to the bathroom between your squats and deadlifts?

Because that’s what you’re getting when you take the Magnesium Glycerophosphate that’s in NO-Xplode. This stuff is bad news. It’s a compound that’s only 10% active. So, in order to get the 350mg of magnesium on the label, BSN is putting 3500mg of this shit in your product. That’s over 10 grams of magnesium per 3-scoop serving! This is what doctors prescribe for constipation! Are you serious?

White Flood has no Magnesium. It won’t give you explosive diarrhea.

Magnesium Diarrhea Advantage: White Flood

In conclusion, we do respect NO-Xplode, but it’s time to move on. White Flood is a better value, tastier, and has no BS to make you fat, bloated, and run to the bathroom every 15 minutes.

White Flood is pre-workout nitric oxide energy-enhancing drink that has a lot of effective ingredients. These ingredients are geared towards the following:

  • ENERGY for your lifts
  • Massive muscle-building PUMPS in the gym
  • Antioxidant Support
  • Brain function and memory support for increased focus

There is a lot of flexibility in stacking White Flood, as there is no creatine or branched-chain amino acids inside. Let’s take a look at each component:

  • Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) and Ornithine AKG

    White Flood has both AAKG and Ornithine AKG. When people mention “Nitric Oxide”, this is really what they’re talking about. Arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide production and improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles. OKG has been demonstrated to increase protein retention, speed up repair, and improve immune function by increasing levels of growth-promoting (anabolic) hormones such as insulin and growth hormone.

    You don’t just drink ‘nitric oxide’ drinks – you drink products that contain AAKG and sometimes OKG, which helps you get more nitric oxide into the muscles. The amount in White Flood is typical, but some people may want to add 2-3g more AAKG on a heavy day for an even sicker pump.

    “Arginine pumps” are not permanent, but AAKG does work. It increases peak output power, meaning you might be able to set some personal records on a good day with White Flood’s help.

  • Beta Alanine

    Beta alanine is an another impressive supplement. It is an amino acid which has been proven in research to reduce fatigue. It works by increasing the concentration of carnosine in your muscles.

    This reduces fatigue because the carnosine created then helps expel nasty ammonia ammonia from your muscles. If your muscles run out of carnosine, you get fatigued. Taking beta alanine before working out gets you the important carnosine production — and you increase your endurance both during lifting and cardio. Many studies show this both in the field and in the lab.
    There is a limit to how much beta alanine will really help, and some people also get a tingling feeling in their skin from beta alanine. This is one of the side effects, but it will not harm you. You can even add about 2-3g more beta alanine if you have a long workout planned.

  • L-Tyrosine

    L-tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid. It helps the brain produce the neurotransmitters L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. All of these are necessary to regulate emotions. Without these neurotransmitters, feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability and frustration can result. In addition, dopamine helps suppress appetite and reduce body fat, so it is good to have this created in your system as well.

    Beyond increasing mood, L-tyrosine can help calm the body, increase energy and enhance libido. It is even used on Parkinson’s patients to assist with brain function.

  • Inosine

    Inosine is a nucleoside, one of the basic compounds comprising cells. It is a precursor to adenosine, an important energy molecule, and plays many supportive roles in the body.

    Unfortunately, studies have shown inosine to be ineffective at increasing athletic performance, although it can help with stroke patients.

  • Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)

    GABA supplementation is an awesome thing, and one thing we consider a not-so-secret weapon in White Flood. It is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, but is really an amino acid. Supplementation helps induce relaxation and calm.

    The most important thing about GABA, however, is that it stimulates the anterior pituitary, leading to higher levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), which leads to you building muscle and preventing fat growth. One research study concluded that 5g of GABA supplementation resulted in HGH levels being increased 5x after 90 minutes – this is clearly something that you’d want in your pre-workout supplement, although there isn’t 5g of GABA in a serving of White Flood so your results will be a bit less.

  • Glucuronolactone

    You might recognize this one because it’s in Red Bull and various other energy drinks. Glucuronolactone has been shown to be a safe compound, and is a detoxification agent that helps improve liver function.

    However, the most important aspect of glucuronolactone is that users report enhanced energy, mood, and alertness. This is due to its ability to stimulate glycogen synthesis, making it a fatigue-fighting performance enhancer.

  • Natural Caffeine

    We assume you’re familiar with caffeine. This is the main stimulant in White Flood, and is a definite performance enhancer. If White Flood is your first energy drink or pre-workout drink, you may want to use one scoop (half a serving) of White Flood to get used to the caffeine.

    Caffeine improves mental focus and is thermogenic and heats you up (helping to burn fat). There’s about 100mg of caffeine in each scoop of White Flood.

  • Potassium Gluconate

    Potassium gluconate is prescribed for individuals who need to replenish their bodies’ potassium supply due to depletion from illness or certain medications. Potassium is an important electrolytes in the your body. Chemically speaking, it carries positive electrical charges through your blood and cells. This helps you balance your water levels, regulate the heart, and aids nerves.

    But we’re interested in potassium gluconate because it contributes to the creation of energy from food and the growth of muscle cells – clearly something we want at workout time.

  • Cocoa Bean (Extracted For 99% Theobromine)

    Theobromine, also known as xantheose, is the primary alkaloid found in cocoa and chocolate. It is also in the tea plant, the kola nut, and acai berries. This compound is in the same family as caffeine, and has similar effects as a stimulant (although is weaker). It also helps to widen blood vessels, which can aid in nutrient delivery and decreases blood pressure.

    Theobromine is a great stimulant to have alongside caffeine – it shouldn’t be depended on for pre-workout energy, but is a great aid.

  • Evodia Rutaecarpa (95% Evodiamine Extract)

    Evodiamine is a Chinese herb that comes from the plant Evodiae Fructus. It has been used for years as a fat-loss supplement by the Chinese. However, there are no human studies on evodiamine.

    In the lab, however, evodiamine has shown to create effects that will raise body temperature and increase metabolism. It stimulates cells to reduce fat uptake while increasing the rate of fat-burn. Mammals and rodents that are fed a high-fat diet supplemented with evodiamine actually lose weight rather than gain it.

  • L-Norvaline

    L-Norvaline is a modified version of valine, the branched-chain amino acid. Studies show that L-Norvaline helps with muscular strength increases, growth, and endurance by blocking arginase. Arginase inhibits nitric oxide formation, so when you block arginase, your body is free to produce more NO and distribute it in more NO pathways, resulting in a better pump with the AAKG discussed above.

    More arginine thanks to the L-Norvaline gives you better pumps during and after your workouts, along with increased vasodilatation and improved bloodflow to your muscles.

  • Sugar Cane (Extracted For 60% Octacosanol)

    Octacosanol is a compound that can come from many plants, including sugar cane. Studies show that it is useful in improving endurance and increasing oxygen utilization. It may also reduce blood cholesterol and help with Parkinson’s patients.

  • Coenzyme Q10

    Coenzyme Q10, also CoQ10 (pronounced like “ko-cue-ten”), is a phenomenal supplement that more pre-workout drinks should have. The primary requirement for CoQ10 in White Flood is to assist with the production of energy. Nearly ALL of your cellular functions depend on adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and CoQ10 is an important participant in the reaction that leads to ATP assisting with energy production.

    Beyond energy production assistance, Coenzyme Q10 supplementation has a host of benefits, including helping with mitochondrial disorders, heart failure, migraines, cancer, blood pressure, and overall lifespan.

  • Vincopetine

    Vincopetine comes from the plant Vinca minor, and has several uses – most importantly, as a brain function aid and memory booster in healthy individuals. It is thought to increase blood circulation to the brain, and thus is prescribed to stroke and Alzheimer’s patients.

  • Alpha-Carotene

    Alpha-carotene is similar to the popular beta-carotene supplement, in that it gets converted to Vitamin A, which helps in the maintenance of skin and bones, good vision, and immune system function.

    Alpha-carotene may be more effective than beta-carotene as an antioxidant. It will help prevent cell breakdown by removing dangerous free radicals.

  • Zeaxanthin

    Zeaxanthin is one of two cartenoids in the retina of the eye that helps protect against blindness. Lutein, also in White Flood, is the other cartenoid. While we’re not sure if there are any energy-enhancing effects of Zeaxanthin, it is nevertheless a great to supplement to have in your diet.

  • Cryptoxanthin

    Cryptoxanthin is a natural carotenoid pigment, and also gets converted to Vitamin A. It is an antioxidant, repairing DNA damage to cells, and also has anti lung cancer properties. This is an uncommon supplement, so it’s great to see it in White Flood.

  • Lutein

    Luetin is the other cartenoid (along with Zeaxanthin) in the retina of the eye that helps protect against blindness. This one is more familiar because most quality multivitamins contain Lutein now. Studies show that it does lower the risk of blindness, especially in people aged 65 and over.

    Again, it may not be completely necessary in your pre-workout supplement, but since White Flood is already a great deal, we won’t complain that it also contains Lutein!

  • Folic Acid

    Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9) is essential for DNA repair, synthesis, and cell division and growth. It is thus necessary to have if you want to grow muscle.

    Folic Acid is so important to the body that we’re not even going to list all of its benefits. Just make sure that you eat enough leafy vegetables (the best source), and if you don’t, supplement with extra folic acid – even beyond what is in White Flood.

  • Selenium

    Selenium is a mineral that is essential to good health. Only small doses are required. It is important to antioxidant enzymes named selenoproteins, which help prevent cellular damage from free radicals.

    Taking selenium will also help other selenoproteins promote regular thyroid function as well as protect the immune system.

  • Huperzia Seratta (Extracted For 99% Huperzine A)

    Last (and least), Huperzine A. This is a naturally-occurring compound found in the plant firmoss Huperzia serrata. It is used for memory support, and has been used in China for centuries to prevent swelling and fever. It is effective in treating Alzheimer’s disease as well as enhancing memory in young students.

An impressive list of ingredients! Almost everything seems to have a great purpose. The amount of servings of White Flood you get for the price destroys all energy drinks out there. Not only that, but it’s healthier and muchbetter tasting.
