Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Black Ops a capsule or a powder?
- Capsules — a convenient format you take without mixing a drink, unlike Grenade's separate pre-workout powder. Check the label for the serving size and daily limit.
- Is it high in caffeine?
- Yes — it's a caffeine-led formula, with caffeine from green tea among the sources, so treat it as potent. Avoid stacking it with coffee or other stimulants, and don't take it late in the day.
- What else is in it?
- Alongside caffeine, the formula includes green tea, taurine, cayenne pepper and choline. We list the named label ingredients rather than making performance claims for them.
- Is it certified for banned substances?
- Yes — Informed Sport, with each batch independently screened against the WADA banned list, which matters for tested athletes using a high-stimulant product.
- Where can I buy it in the UK?
- £25 at both Amazon UK and Holland & Barrett — matched pricing. Check the capsule count per pack before comparing, and confirm the live price.
