Section 1
V2 experience and later formulas are different evidence

My Godzilla testing was on V2. That experience does not become a firsthand V3 test because a newer formula appears in a store listing.

The formula table below uses RYSE’s linked Blue Raspberry Cognizin/citicoline panel. It is not being presented as a verified VitaCholine V3 label. Match the actual tub before using these figures to compare a retailer offer.

Label note: Blue Raspberry label examples: one scoop of BLACK versus two scoops of the referenced Godzilla Cognizin formula. This is not an equal-caffeine comparison.

Keep the tested version, the displayed label and the retailer’s stock separate. A product name can stay the same while the formula changes.

The manufacturer images checked for this comparison show Cognizin/citicoline. The V3 description previously discussed on FitFrek names a different choline ingredient. That is why this article does not attach V2 testing claims to a universal “current V3” formula.

Before buying, check the facts panel on the exact listing. When a retailer cannot identify the version, do not assume that a score or ingredient table for another version transfers to it.

Section 2
Pumps: 9 g L-citrulline is not the same claim as 11 g
Godzilla’s full-serving panel lists 9 g L-citrulline plus 2 g citrulline nitrate. Calling that “11 g pure L-citrulline” counts the full nitrate ingredient as citrulline.
BULK BLACK
8 g
Citrulline malate; stated 2:1 ratio
Godzilla
9 g + 2 g
L-citrulline + citrulline nitrate; not 11 g pure L-citrulline

BLACK lists 8 g citrulline malate at 2:1. That number also includes another component, so it should not be shortened to 8 g pure citrulline.

Godzilla’s additional VasoDrive-AP ingredient is hydrolyzed casein tripeptides. It is milk-derived: this formula should not be described as dairy-free. People with a milk allergy should avoid this milk-derived formula and check the full allergen statement.

Section 3
Creatine and beta-alanine: decide what you actually need
At two scoops, Godzilla includes 5 g creatine monohydrate, 6.4 g beta-alanine and 5 g betaine. BLACK lists 4 g beta-alanine and 2.5 g betaine, without creatine.
BULK BLACK
Not listed
Creatine on the referenced panel
Godzilla
5 g
Creatine monohydrate per two-scoop serving

The creatine inclusion is convenient when it fits your existing routine. It is less of a selling point when you already take creatine separately and do not want it tied to a caffeinated product.

More beta-alanine in one sitting is not proof of a better workout. Its role depends on regular use and exercise context, not how much tingling a serving causes.

Section 4
Energy and focus: compare compounds, not just milligrams
BULK BLACK
325 mg
Total caffeine per one-scoop serving
Godzilla
400 mg
Total caffeine per two-scoop serving

Godzilla’s full serving combines 350 mg caffeine anhydrous with 50 mg extended-release caffeine for 400 mg total. BLACK’s reference panel lists 325 mg caffeine, not an older Infinergy combination.

BLACK’s AlphaSize is a 50% Alpha-GPC ingredient; Godzilla uses citicoline on the referenced panel. Their milligram totals are not equivalent amounts of choline. The labels do not, by themselves, establish a focus winner.

BLACK also includes 200 mcg huperzine A, whereas the referenced Godzilla panel does not list it. That is another formula difference, not a guaranteed focus advantage.

Section 5
Pros and cons

Godzilla includes more ingredients per full serving, but that serving also brings more caffeine and gives you fewer full doses per tub.

BULK BLACK

Pros
Less caffeine than two scoops of Godzilla.
Thirty servings at the dose compared.
Cons
325 mg is still a substantial caffeine serving.
No included creatine.

Godzilla · Cognizin formula

Pros
5 g creatine monohydrate at two scoops.
Both one- and two-scoop amounts appear on the panel.
Cons
Only 20 servings at the full two-scoop dose.
400 mg caffeine at two scoops; a milk-derived ingredient at either dose.
Section 6
Price: 40 one-scoop servings are not 40 full doses
Use 20 servings for Godzilla’s two-scoop formula comparison. The reference label has 40 one-scoop servings or 20 two-scoop servings. BLACK has 30 one-scoop servings.

At an equal tub price, Godzilla would cost 50% more per full compared serving. That is a serving-count calculation, not a statement about current store prices.

One scoop of Godzilla provides half the listed two-scoop amounts, including 200 mg total caffeine and 2.5 g creatine monohydrate. That may be the dose you intend to use, but then compare and price the one-scoop formula—not the two-scoop table.

Section 7
Who should skip them—and how to approach the label

Neither full serving is my starting recommendation for someone unfamiliar with caffeine or sensitive to stimulants. Follow the directions on the exact version, and do not stack it with another pre-workout.

The FDA’s 400 mg daily reference for most adults is not a personalized safe single-dose target. Count other caffeine, consider medications and health conditions, and avoid letting a late workout compromise sleep.

Section 8
Final verdict: which should you buy?

Choose BLACK when you want the lower-caffeine full serving here and prefer keeping creatine separate. Consider the referenced Godzilla formula when you deliberately want its included creatine and larger ingredient package, understand the two-scoop stimulant load and have confirmed the version.

The best purchase is the one whose actual label matches the comparison you used. A bigger scoop is not enough to settle it.

FAQ

Is the Godzilla testing here for V3? ▼
No. My firsthand testing was on V2. The formula table identifies the manufacturer’s Cognizin panel separately; it is not a new V3 workout test.
Does Godzilla have 40 full servings? ▼
Not at the two-scoop dose compared here. It has 40 one-scoop or 20 two-scoop servings.
Is BULK BLACK caffeine-free or low-stim? ▼
No. The referenced panel lists 325 mg caffeine. Lower than Godzilla’s full serving does not mean low in absolute terms.
