Overview

Transparent Labs PreSeries LEAN V3 is a pre-workout designed specifically for cutting phases, combining performance ingredients (8g citrulline malate, 3.2g beta-alanine, 2.5g betaine) with fat-burning and thyroid support compounds (iodine, selenium, zinc, chromium, forskolin). The 200mg caffeine provides moderate energy, while the thyroid-supporting minerals help maintain metabolic rate during caloric restriction — a common issue during cutting. The formula uses zero artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives, sweetened with stevia. Every ingredient dose is fully disclosed on the label.
