WHY I BUILT MATERIA (And Why I Refused to Cut Corners)
"I built MATERIA because I couldn't find a pre-workout I wanted to use. I was tired of formulas that prioritized profit margins over performance. Instead of following industry trends of proprietary blends, under-dosed formulas, and overhyped promises, I formulated the exact pre-workout I wanted in my own gym bag. No proprietary blends. No under-dosed formulas. No shortcuts."
MATERIA // CLINICALLY DOSED PRE-WORKOUT
TRAIN HARDER. LIFT HEAVIER. STAY LOCKED IN.
Most pre-workouts give you a rush and call it performance. A stimulant spike, a skin tingle, maybe a jolt of energy that burns out before you are halfway through your session. You feel something, but nothing actually changes. Your lifts don't improve. Your endurance doesn't hold. Your focus fades the second fatigue sets in.
MATERIA exists because that standard is completely unacceptable. Every ingredient in this formula is here for a reason, dosed at the exact amount shown to produce results in peer-reviewed research. No proprietary blends. No under-dosed fillers. Just the real clinical dose of every single ingredient, fully disclosed on the label.
The result is a pre-workout you can feel AND verify. More weight on the bar. More reps completed. Better blood flow into the muscle. Enhanced focus and energy keeping you dialed in through your entire workout.
WHO IS MATERIA FOR?
You don’t need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from a real pre-workout. If any of these sound familiar, MATERIA was built for you.
Your current pre-workout doesn't keep up.
You are putting in the work, but your current supplement is all buzz and no substance. You want something that actively supports your performance, rather than just increasing your heart rate.
You are tired of mid-session crashes.
A big rush in the first 20 minutes, then nothing. You need sustained energy and focus that lasts from your first set to your last, without the crash that kills the back half of your workout.
You are done with proprietary mystery formulas.
You want to know exactly what you are putting into your body. No hidden doses, no cutting corners, and no cheap filler ingredients dressed up with marketing fluff.
You want to feel stronger, not just jittery.
There is a massive difference between being "wired" and being ready to perform. You want a formula that supports actual strength, muscle pumps, and clean cognitive drive.
Key Ingredients
Our formulas are built with premium raw materials, using fully disclosed, clinical dosages to support strength, performance, energy, focus, and pump.
Pure L-Citrulline
6,000 mg
A massive 6g dose of pure, unadulterated L-Citrulline for maximum blood flow, skin-splitting pumps, and efficient nutrient delivery to working muscles. Zero cheap Citrulline Malate fillers.
Mechanism of Action:
L-Citrulline converts efficiently into L-Arginine within the body, directly accelerating Nitric Oxide production. Nitric Oxide relaxes and widens blood vessels, driving a surge of oxygenated blood and nutrients directly into the working muscle tissue.
Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate
5,000 mg
The undisputed gold standard in muscle performance. Supports raw strength output, accelerated recovery between sets, and long-term training adaptations. Creapure® is the most thoroughly researched and purest form of micronized creatine available.
Mechanism of Action:
Creatine functions by directly replenishing your body's ATP stores, which serve as the primary fuel source for short, high-intensity efforts like heavy lifting. A full 5g clinical dose ensures cellular saturation so you can maintain peak power output deep into your working sets.
CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine
3,200 mg
A patented amino acid that buffers the burning sensation during high-volume sets, helping you push through the critical reps that drive muscle growth. CarnoSyn® is the only beta-alanine backed by over 55 clinical studies.
Mechanism of Action:
During intense exercise, hydrogen ions rapidly accumulate in muscle tissue, creating the acidic "burn" that forces premature failure. Beta-Alanine increases muscle carnosine levels, which act as a physical buffer against that acid buildup to delay fatigue.
L-Tyrosine
2,000 mg
A heavy-hitting amino acid that supports mood elevation and sharp mental focus under intense physical stress, preventing the cognitive fade and irritability that often follow a hard workout.
Mechanism of Action:
Intense physical training rapidly depletes dopamine and norepinephrine—the neurotransmitters responsible for motivation and focus. L-Tyrosine serves as the direct precursor raw material your body needs to top off these levels and preserve neural output.
AlphaSize® Alpha-GPC
500 mg
A premium, patented choline compound that sharpens the mind-muscle connection and supports peak power generation. This is the advanced nootropic that bridges the gap between brain and body.
Mechanism of Action:
Alpha-GPC crosses the blood-brain barrier to increase levels of acetylcholine, the primary chemical messenger your brain uses to signal muscle contractions. Higher acetylcholine levels translate to more precise neuro-motor signals and superior force production.
Caffeine Anhydrous
300 mg
A precise dose of clean caffeine for sharp, aggressive energy that pairs perfectly with the nootropic stack to deliver a calm, locked-in drive rather than a jittery buzz.
Mechanism of Action:
300mg represents the clinical sweet spot for athletic enhancement, significantly boosting alertness and training intensity without over-activating the nervous system. When paired with our 2,500mg nootropic focus framework, its energy is channeled entirely into productive training output.
Huperzine A
200 mcg
A natural focus extender that keeps you locked in from your first warm-up to your final set. It works in perfect synergy with Alpha-GPC to sustain mental clarity throughout your entire training session.
Mechanism of Action:
Huperzine A functions by selectively inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine in the brain. While Alpha-GPC acts to turn on the faucet of focus, Huperzine A effectively plugs the drain, keeping your cognitive drive elevated for hours.
WHY NOT A PROPRIETARY BLEND?
Proprietary blends are the oldest trick in the supplement industry book. They are also the exact reason most formulas fail to deliver results.
The Proprietary Blend Problem
A proprietary blend allows a company to list ingredients without disclosing the actual amounts inside. This means a manufacturer can put a microscopic fraction of an expensive ingredient on the label for marketing purposes, filling the rest with cheap filler.
Common Industry Tactics:
- Listing premium ingredients at a fraction of their effective dose
- Burying cheap fillers like maltodextrin inside a proprietary "matrix"
- Hiding behind the total blend weight so customers cannot do the math
- Cramming 8+ ingredients into a blend that only weighs 5g total
The MATERIA Open Formula
MATERIA takes a completely different approach. Every single milligram is fully disclosed with its exact dose printed clearly on the label. No blends, no hiding, and no compromises.
Pure L-Citrulline at a massive 6g for maximum blood flow.
Creapure® Creatine at a full 5g for raw strength and power.
CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine at 3.2g for endurance and rep capacity.
AlphaSize® Alpha-GPC at 500mg for the mind-muscle connection.
300mg Caffeine paired with a 2,500mg premium nootropic framework.
The Result: A pre-workout that actually hits. Every scoop. Every session.
NO HIDDEN DOSES. NO FILLERS. NO GUESSING. JUST RESULTS.
THE "LABORATORY STANDARD" DIFFERENCE
In an industry built on proprietary shortcuts and under-dosed ingredients, PR-BREAKER sets a higher standard. We call it the Laboratory Standard because marketing hype doesn't move weight. Clinical dosages do.
Built for Output, Not Hype
Unlike traditional formulas designed to make you anxious for 10 minutes, MATERIA is engineered to improve actual training metrics: strength, endurance, blood flow, and mental focus across your entire session.
Zero Crash Energy
Pairing 300mg of clean caffeine with a heavy 2,500mg nootropic framework ensures a steady wave of performance. No mid-workout fade, and no post-workout crash. You leave the gym accomplished, not depleted.
Premium Ingredients, Real Doses
Every single ingredient is a branded, research-backed raw material sourced for its exceptional purity and dosed at the exact thresholds proven to work in human clinical trials. Nothing hidden.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do I feel a "tingling" sensation after taking MATERIA™?
A: That is the CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine going to work. It’s a harmless physical sensation called paresthesia. We use a full clinical dose of 3.2g to ensure maximum muscle carnosine saturation, which is essential for buffering lactic acid. If the sensation is too intense, start with one scoop to assess your tolerance.
Q: Do I need to take extra Creatine if I’m using MATERIA™?
A: On your training days, no. We’ve included 5g of Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate, which is the full daily saturation dose. You’re getting the highest quality creatine on the planet already built into your pre-workout infrastructure.
Q: How much caffeine is in one serving?
A: One full serving (2 scoops) contains 300mg of Caffeine Anhydrous. We chose this specific amount because it provides a powerful "kick" without being overwhelming. When paired with our 2,000mg of L-Tyrosine and AlphaSize®, the energy is smooth, locked-in, and notably absent of a post-workout crash.
Q: Can I stack MATERIA™ with other PR-BREAKER® products?
A: Absolutely. MATERIA™ is designed to be the "engine" of your workout. It stacks perfectly with our protein powder HITPOINT™.
Q: Is MATERIA™ safe for drug-tested athletes?
A: Yes. We believe every milligram matters, which is why we use a transparent label with zero proprietary blends and zero banned substances. Every batch is manufactured in a facility that follows strict cGMP guidelines to ensure purity and label accuracy.

PR-Breaker workout is the real deal! It has the ingredients you want at the right dosages without any unnecessary stuff added. Since taking it my workouts have gone to another level of intensity!
The only products anyone needs!
Finally a preworkout that tastes good, has legit ingredients, and doesn't send me sprinting to the bathroom...
This pre workout not only tastes amazing, it gives you that extra punch too. I love all of these products, the quality is unbeatable!
Love it
PR Breaker fueling a 595 double!
Talk about a killer pump!! Loving the blue razz preworkout, definitely ordering the grape when this one is almost out! Gives great energy and haven’t had a crash after my lift! Can’t wait to try more PR products🖤
Love it
I’ve been using PR Breaker for about a year. I’m a triathlete, and this year my focus was open water swim races. I won this iconic race (see picture) this summer that nearly 600 people competed in. For the price and nutrition content, I suggest PR Breaker to others.
Love it!
My favorite flavor for pre is the Grape Candy, especially when chilled! It might be a mental thing, but my workouts are always great when they’re fueled by PR Breaker (:
The taste A++++ . Amazing
MATERIA Pre-Workout V2.0 (CLOSED FOR HOLIDAYS, WILL SHIP 1/6/23)
Taste is A+++, and it dissolves well. Great lift!
I love Materia! I’ve been using it for almost two years now and it is the best. I take it in different quantities depending on what my workout is for that day and it still gives me a great feeling every time. I use the Blue Razz flavor and it’s awesome.
Been a big fan of Derek for a long time now (bb.com days!) and knew once he was making a supplement company the products would be evidence based and accurately dosed. I’ve tried material since the v1 and loved it, and have fallen in love with the newest version as well. I train at 5am and the product even on a fairly empty stomach is easy to digest, No GI discomfort, and clear focus with no crash. Love to support the brand and someone who had given back to the community 10 fold.
It has exactly what it needs to have in it at the exact right dose.
Absolutely amazing product! I never write reviews, but I can honestly say that this is the best pre I've ever tried, it's really brought my training intensity back to a level it hasn't been at in years. 10/10
Best pre!!!
MATERIA Pre-Workout V2.0 (CLOSED FOR HOLIDAYS, WILL SHIP 1/6/23)
Definitely love this flavor and the ingredients this preworkout comes with. Was locked in and very focused during my big squats today! 10/10 would recommend. Grape flavor and their protein is pretty fire too!
Gotta love this stuff, new formula is AMAZING. Everything you need and WANT in a pre workout.
Loved the pre formula! Gives me the right amount of energy to do my lifts and all of my accessories. Also loved the included Protien samples in my order! Might have to order some protein now
Best pre
It is great to have my favorite flavor back in town. The new PR breaker formula is smooth with the ingredients I need to hit PR’s inside and out of the gym. As a caffeine-sensitive athlete, I’m able to adjust the proportions to my needs while still performing at an optimal level. The new formula itself also helps me avoid the post-workout crash so I can focus on getting things done even after the gym. An indispensable staple to have for those aiming to hit their goals.
MATERIA Pre-Workout V2.0 (Pre-Sale: Orders should ship out on 6/8)
This stuff is like ROCKET FUEL!!! I honestly did not know that you could improve on Materia as it was already the best pre workout that I’ve used but this new formula blows it away. I have never felt so locked in and in the zone. Took my squat day to the STRATOSPHERE!! BUY THIS NOW!!
PR Breaker stands by its name. No jitters and a clean pump. Perfect flavor also
I made a purchase long time ago, about fifteen years. I didn't believe that the product truly worked, but I knew that the product tasted good, lol!!! Yes, I thought it was a fluke until one day . On a Wednesday of the month, I ran out of this fantastic product. I walked around as weak as POPEYES without my formula. Man, I felt underachieving. I reached out to this company and Shazam, I grew. Now, I am very, or even so happy that I will not allow this product become absent in my daily workout again. I feel as though I am POPEYE. Does the product work??? I made one mistake by not having the product. Now, I order by threes. Grape, works 💪 for me!!! IT DOES WORK!!! BELIEVE ME, IT DOES WORK!!! I’ve taken this product, and I feel as though I am POPEYE!!! Lol!!! REALLY!!! This product will definitely made a believer out of you, try it. You will see. I promise you that you will see a difference. Thanks!!! No not end these products. It does work!!!
I have used a lot of different brands of supplements and pre workouts over the last 18 years of lifting, and this is one of my favorites. It's easy on your stomach-if you are someone who prefers to lift fasted, it's never made me nauseous. It's dosed perfectly, I can get through my longer more intense workouts without that crashing feeling you get from other pre workouts, and still keep a pump. Derek has a great product here, and I would recommend it for anyone from a casual weight lifter, to the every day meathead, this stuff is worth every penny.
The new flavor tastes great and mixed well! Quality as always from the PR Breaker Team!
Materia and hitpoint are the best tasting products out there!
Always the best. Been using it for years. I have tried other pre-workouts but I always go back to Materia. Definitely my #1 all time.
Best product, taste and service! Highly recommended!
Great taste with the same perfect jolt as the other flavors. No gritty bits after mixing!
The taste is great and works as a pre workout should, giving me the extra energy for better performance.
Recommend to me by my boyfriend as a clean and effective product to get pumped for workouts. PR-Breaker Materia did not disappoint!! I definitely recommend.
I’ve been using this pre-workout for probably more than 4 years, and I refuse to use any other brand for pre-workout. The taste and consistency is unmatched, the formula hits harder than anything else I’ve ever tried, and the price? Definitely the best bang for your buck. If this pre-workout were to vanish from the shelves one day, I would probably just stop taking preworkout altogether.
Best tasting and most effective preworkout on the market!
Great taste and love the clean ingredients!
Awesome stuff. Scoop and and a half is perfect!
Blue Razz is my favorite flavor!
