Disorder Pre-Workout Caffeine
Caffeine is a naturally occurring stimulant found in a wide range of plants, including guarana seed, yerba mate leaf, Camellia sinensis (think green tea and black tea), cocoa and coffee beans.
In developed nations, where access to quality coffee is as simple as a walk to your nearest café with a five dollar note, we pretty much take it for granted that when fatigue emerges a solution is not far away.
Whether we’re trying to study for an assignment, wake up for a job interview or power through a tough training session, most would admit that this natural chemical called caffeine can come in quite handy at times.
Pre-workouts contain a range of ingredients, often including purified caffeine. You might see it written as caffeine anhydrous or dicaffeine malate. Certainly, for regular pre-workout users, the caffeine content has become quite an important feature.
So where does Faction Labs Disorder sit when it comes to caffeine content and how does it stack up against other popular pre-workout products?
Disorder Pre-Workout Caffeine
Disorder pre-workout contains 250mg of caffeine in each 8g serve. This is equivalent to approximately 2 ½ cups of coffee.
This is a mid-strength pre-workout with regards to its stimulant activity, as some products can contain as much as 450mg, with lower contents in the range of 100mg.
Of course there are caffeine-free or stimulant-free pre-workouts available, but these are another ball-game entirely.
While Disorder contains thermogenic ingredients, such as synephrine and cocoabuterol, these do not exert stimulant effects, and are therefore not additive to the stimulant effects of the caffeine.
Disorder Caffeine Comparison
The following is a list of caffeinated pre-workouts that are currently popular with their caffeine level listed for the purposes of comparison:
- Faction Labs Disorder Pre-Workout 250mg

As you can see, the caffeine content varies considerably from product to product.
However, it’s important to remember that the caffeine level doesn’t necessarily tell us how effective the product will be.
There are many ingredients that determine a quality pre-workout product. Which ingredients meet your needs and in what dosages are completely dependent on your goals.
Each ingredient does really need to be understood on a case-by-case basis, which the Sporty’s Health Ingredient Brief’s can come in handy for, such as a the L-Theanine and Citrulline blog articles.
