The Breakdown: Making Sense of the Ingredient Panel - So You Don’t Have To Google Every Other Word
Let’s be honest with ourselves, supplement labels can read like science fair projects. You flip the tub, squint at 9-syllable words, and wonder if you’re fueling a workout or summoning a spirit. No worries, I’ve got you. Welcome to The Breakdown, where I help make sense of the ingredient panel line by line, no PhD required. Today, we’re looking at a very stacked pre-workout. Spoiler: this one’s not for the faint of heart… or the caffeine-sensitive. Mr. Mayhem by Succor Supps. Get your reading hat on, let’s dive in
First Up: Vitamins & Minerals
Vitamin D – 25 mcg (125% DV)
Solid start. Vitamin D isn’t just for bones and immune health — it also helps mood, energy, and muscle function. Think of it as your daily sunshine insurance.

Sodium (from Pink Himalayan Sea Salt) – 195 mg (9%)
Electrolytes are the name of the game for more efficient workouts. Sodium keeps you hydrated, helps your muscles contract, and supports performance. And because it’s from Himalayan salt, you can feel slightly fancy about it.

Pump & Performance Matrix AKA: The stuff that makes your veins pop and your gym friends go " Hey Big Dog, i'm just trying to get like you"
L-Citrulline Malate (2:1) – 9,000 mg
That’s a big dog dose. Citrulline = more nitric oxide = more blood flow = BIG NASTY JUICY PUMPSKI. Expect better pumps, more reps, and a solid "Oh my arm looks huge" feeling.

Beta-Alanine – 4,000 mg
The tingles are coming. And no, you’re not having a reaction, beta-alanine just does that. It helps buffer lactic acid so you can push harder, longer. That itchy-face feeling? Totally normal.

Agmatine Sulfate – 1,000 mg
Pairs nicely with citrulline. Boosts blood flow, supports mood, and helps you feel laser-focused — without lasers, of course.

Pink Himalayan Sea Salt – 500 mgMore hydration support. More minerals. Also, it matches the aesthetic if your kitchen already has a salt lamp.
L-Norvaline – 200 mg
Helps extend that nitric oxide effect + boosts muscular endurance. Basically, it stops your body from hitting the “off” switch too early on your pump.

Potent Stimulant Matrix AKA: The reason you might reorganize your entire garage after your workout.
Eria Jarensis – 400 mg
Mood-boosting, high-energy stimulant. Gives you a euphoric push — like caffeine’s extroverted cousin who wants to party at 6 a.m.

Caffeine Anhydrous – 300 mg
Classic. Fast-acting, reliable, and hits hard. 300 mg = about 3 cups of coffee. Not your grandma’s energy boost.

Final Thoughts from Markus
This pre-workout is a game-changer. Between the pump, the stim, and the focus blend, it’s clearly built for seasoned lifters who like their workouts aggressive and dialed in. Not ideal if you’re caffeine-sensitive or lifting late at night unless you also plan to drive to Florida overnight, then i guess you do you. I joke and always try and remove some of the scary science aspects of this industry, but knowledge is power. And the more you understand what’s inside your scoop, the better decisions you can make for your body and your goals. Have a question about one of these ingredients?
Drop it below I’ll break it down for you. No white coat, no sales pitch, just real talk.
