goBHB® ketones, TRAACS® minerals, and a clean 100mg energy kick

VMI Sports KXR Stacked Essential Pre-Workout flips the script on typical high-stim pre-workouts. Instead of loading up on caffeine, it focuses on exogenous ketones (that's ketones from outside your body), super-absorbable chelated minerals, a chill amount of stims, and a bit of focus help. You get a low-stim option that boosts your readiness for training, sharpens your mind, and keeps energy flowing without the big crash from heavier stim stacks.

The star here is goBHB® beta-hydroxybutyrate salts: 2.4g calcium BHB, 2.4g sodium BHB, and 2.4g magnesium BHB. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is a ketone your body can burn for fuel, super handy if you're training with fewer carbs or just want smoother energy than what caffeine alone gives. goBHB® is the trusted brand from Compound Solutions, known for consistent quality in ketone supps. In the gym, this combo is what you'll notice most: even energy, better control during sets, and less reliance on huge caffeine doses to get going.

Magnesium stands out big time. You get 295mg total from magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate and 500mg TRAACS® magnesium bisglycinate chelate. Magnesium helps with over 300 processes in your body, like stabilizing ATP (your energy molecule), nerve signals, and turning food into fuel. Adults need about 310-420mg a day, so this hits a good chunk of that. The TRAACS® form from Albion is a chelate, meaning it's bound to amino acids for better uptake and no gut issues. If you're a bit low on magnesium, this can mean stronger muscles, fewer cramps, and a steadier feel when you're pushing weights.

Chromium is included at 200mcg, right at th

Key Highlights

  • 7.2g total goBHB® ketone salts — split evenly with 2.4g each of calcium, sodium, and magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate. This gives you real backup fuel for training, something caffeine-only pre-workouts just can't match.
  • 100mg caffeine from Robusta coffee — a easy-going dose that perks you up without the shakes. If you hate those 300mg+ monsters, this one's way easier to stick with day after day.
  • 295mg magnesium per scoop — that's a solid hit toward the 310-420mg you need daily. It helps with energy production, nerve signals, and keeping muscles firing right, not just a throw-in amount.
  • TRAACS® magnesium bisglycinate chelate — this is Albion's top-shelf chelated form, way better for absorption and your stomach than cheap oxides in budget formulas.
  • 200mcg chromium — hits the sweet spot for supporting blood sugar and insulin. It fits the vibe of better energy management, not just a stim rush.
  • TRAACS® chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate — no skimping here, this chelated version is stable and pairs great with the niacin and overall energy focus.
  • 300mg L-tyrosine — throws in some brain support to keep you locked in when workouts get tough. It's the building block for dopamine and norepinephrine, helping with mental toughness.
  • 50mg Alpha-GPC — a light boost for focus and connecting with your muscles. Not a huge dose, but it ties in nicely with the tyrosine and caffeine for better headspace.

Who Is This For?

  • Folks who like low-to-moderate caffeine and want pre support without anxiety, fast heart, or crashes. 100mg is chill, with goBHB® and minerals picking up the slack over heavy stims.
  • Athletes on low-carb or keto eats needing extra energy fuel. The goBHB® mineral mix fits that better than plain caffeine pre's.
  • After-work gym rats wanting to feel on point without 250-400mg messing up sleep. Low stims plus ketones and minerals keep it steady.
  • Everyday fitness peeps focused on hydration, muscle work, and sticking with it over wild stims. Sodium, magnesium, calcium in good forms make this a solid daily pick.
  • Intermediate lifters who know high stims kill consistency. If you train hard but want even energy over a big rush, moderate caffeine, tyrosine, and goBHB® nail it.
  • Guys short on magnesium wanting their pre to help fix that. 295mg plus TRAACS® bisglycinate does real work for your levels, unlike most in the game.

How to Use

Take one scoop 20-30 minutes pre-training. Gives the Robusta coffee caffeine time to perk you up and the ketone-mineral mix a head start. If you're new to stims or ketones, half-scoop first to test it out. Shake hard in cold water; minerals need that to mix right, better than stirring. Empty stomach speeds it up, but a light meal an hour before keeps it comfy if supps bug you. Skip stacking with high-caf burners or extra coffees if you want it clean. No forced cycling needed, but track overall caffeine and use it for workouts. Pairs great with creatine, intra carbs, or electrolytes for big sessions. Keep it sealed cool and dry—moisture messes with mineral powders.

What to Expect

Minutes 0-10: mixes easy and feels substantial from the minerals, lighter than heavy stim bombs. Minutes 10-20: 100mg caffeine brings clean alertness, making it easier to jump into your workout without a rush. Minutes 20-40: peak time—focus sharpens, energy steadies, and you're feeling primed thanks to ketones and minerals. Minutes 40-90: holds up better than big stims, no sharp drop since it's not all about caffeine. Days 1-7: figure out how it fits you. Weeks 2-4: steady magnesium and minerals add up, plus a pre habit you can keep without frying out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in VMI Sports KXR Stacked Essential Pre-Workout?

Each serving provides 100mg caffeine from Robusta coffee. That places it firmly in the low-stim category compared with many pre-workouts that deliver 250-400mg per serving.

What makes KXR Stacked Essential different from a typical pre-workout?

Its identity is built around 7.2g total goBHB® ketone salts plus TRAACS® chelated minerals, not just caffeine. That means the formula is designed to support energy metabolism, electrolyte status, and training readiness with a smoother feel than stim-dominant formulas.

Is this a good pre-workout for low-carb or keto training?

Yes, that is one of the clearest use cases for this formula. The goBHB® beta-hydroxybutyrate salts supply exogenous ketones, which align well with users training in lower-carb contexts or seeking steadier non-carbohydrate energy support.

Is the formula fully transparent?

Yes. There is no proprietary blend, and the active ingredients are disclosed with their individual doses. That allows you to evaluate exactly what is in the formula rather than guessing what a blend name contains.

Will I feel a strong stimulant rush from this product?

No, and that is by design. At 100mg caffeine, most users feel cleaner alertness and smoother training energy rather than the intense rush associated with higher-stim pre-workouts.

Is the L-tyrosine dose clinically dosed?

Not by strict research standards. L-tyrosine shows its strongest stress-performance data at much higher acute intakes, often 100-150mg per kilogram bodyweight, so 300mg is best viewed as supportive rather than fully clinical.

How strong is the Alpha-GPC dose in this formula?

It is a light inclusion at 50mg. Alpha-GPC is often used at several hundred milligrams in more aggressive focus formulas, so here it plays a supporting role rather than serving as a major nootropic driver.

What is TRAACS® and why does it matter here?

TRAACS® is Albion Minerals’ chelation technology used for the magnesium, calcium, and chromium forms in this product. Chelated minerals are valued for quality, absorption characteristics, and generally better tolerability than cheaper inorganic mineral forms.

Can I stack KXR Stacked Essential with creatine?

Yes, and it is a smart stack. This formula does not include creatine, so adding 3-5g creatine monohydrate daily complements the pre-workout by supporting phosphocreatine regeneration and strength output alongside this formula’s energy and mineral support.

Is this product appropriate for evening workouts?

For many users, yes. Because it contains only 100mg caffeine, it is often easier to use later in the day than conventional pre-workouts, though anyone highly sensitive to caffeine should still test timing carefully.

These things work great for my apple products.
Color: White
Used for apple watch, iphone 15 Pro Max and air pods pro. Have one that was purchased elsewhere and given to me as a gift. Wanted another but was waiting for a price drop that was more in line with my feelings of what is a fair price. Amazon offered them at a decent price so sprung for a second. WHY? They are very stable. Doesn’t feel like it will tip even with my phone on there horizontally. Footprint is very small. I can put the phone both vertical and horizontal and it charges great with both an Ultra 3 watch and an apple watch 11. Can also charge the air pods at the same time. The best part that justifies the price is it comes WITH the watch charger right there on it. You don’t have to lace your own watch cord through some tiny space like some others I have owned. And the apple watch chargers are expensive. Would easily fit in a bag to carry with me. Although it doesn’t fold down for travel. Comes with the USB wall wort and the USB-C cable. C cable plugs into the single outlet on the back of the charging unit. No issues with overheating of devices. I bought the white one. The plastic charging pads for the phone and air pods are a light gray and they look good together and with the white. I just like white, but they have other colors. It also charges my Anker Soundcore rechargable earbuds. It has a white light that comes on when I put my items on the charger. I will absolutely be getting another. Have been buying Anker products for a while. Nearly all have been fabulous. BUT they did have a recall on a 5000 or 10000 mAH portable charging pack. Cannot remember which it was. But amazon notified me about it, even before the recall hit the news. Have had absolutely no problems with either one I have.

Awesome charger!
Color: White
I have a few Anker chargers and this is definitely a favorite! I usually charge my phone and watch simultaneously so I got this one for traveling. I love the way my phone stands on the charger. It’s great to check the time when waking up. It charges my watch very quickly so I can put it back on before falling asleep. The fast charge and compact form is great for traveling. It’s also easy to plug in and charge my phone, watch, and earbuds at home. Anker chargers are my favorite. I’ve never had an issue with them and they work forever.

Another excellent Anker product
Color: Black
I always start my peripheral search with Anker. As all my Anker equipment are, it’s solid, compact and works as promised. If I get really picky, when I have my Air Pods charging, the band of my Apple Watch takes some extra effort to tuck in above it (a little more height would be appreciated, although it would work against its compactness). That’s a really minor gripe. I love that the magnet is strong and that the orientation can be changed from landscape to portrait without removing it from the mount. It will fit into a suitcase easily and the AC adapter is small. I couldn’t be happier with it!

The only MagSafe charger you’ll ever need..!!
Color: Black
Yet another AWESOME charger from Anker..!! Unlike cheaper MagSafe chargers, this one almost reaches out and grabs your phone when you’re attaching it for charging.. Holds your phone securely for bedside mode at night and there’s no need for a 25W charger that’s more expensive.. Just a perfect size and works well… looks no further…. This is the bedside charger to get..!!

Actual, honest-to-goodness fast charging
Color: Black
After unsuccessfully buying two different so-called "fast" chargers that completely lied about their charging ability, specifically for the Apple watch, I finally bought this one. What a world of difference! I have an Apple watch ultra, which is fantastic on battery life, and I appreciate that I can actually wear it while I sleep. I have to charge it about every day and a half, which means that sometimes I need to top it up while I'm at work. (Alternatively, I could be a slave about charging it every day at home, but part of the reason I switched to the Ultra is to not have to be that obsessive about charging.) Anyway, I needed a good charger at work. I ordered one that claimed to be 5W watch charging, and it blatantly lied. It took over an hour to get about 20% of a charge. I ordered another, similar results. This one is night and day different. My watch will fully charge at the posted speeds Apple boasts about with fast chargers. If it's running a little low during the day, I can pop it on the charger for 20-30 minutes and have enough juice to last through my hour+ swim workout, no problem. The phone charger is fast, too, and if you use a magsafe case, it has a very firm hold. Without a magsafe case, your phone may drop off the charger (mine did), which is frustrating. Since I have another magsafe charger at home, I just bought a new case (they're cheap) and now I'm super happy with this. The contact charger on the back will work to charge your phone (or a second phone) or earbuds, too. Very happy with this purchase. It's a bit pricier than the cheapo other brands, but it actually freaking works and charges quickly. It's worth the money.
