Legion Pulse
If the figure above is your ceiling, most pre-workouts miss it in one direction or the other. Pulse carries 350 mg — about 4.4 mg per kg for an 80 kg person, inside the 3 to 6 mg/kg window the research uses. Every dose is printed on the panel, with no proprietary blend.

FAQs
How much caffeine is safe per day?
Up to ~400mg/day is generally considered safe for healthy adults. For performance, research supports 3–6mg per kg of bodyweight taken before training — the calculator scales this to your weight so you don't overshoot.
When should I take caffeine before a workout?
Plasma caffeine peaks roughly 30–60 minutes after ingestion, so taking it 30–60 minutes pre-training aligns the peak with your session. See our caffeine guide for the full evidence.
Why does caffeine stop working — and how do I protect my sleep?
Tolerance builds with daily use; occasional short breaks restore sensitivity. Caffeine's half-life is ~5–6 hours, so a late-afternoon dose still has meaningful levels in your system at bedtime — keep a cutoff of at least 8 hours before sleep.
