Calibrate RTD exactly like the powder because it is

HD Labs started out this week with the unveiling of an on-the-go version of its pre-workout supplement, simply called the Calibrate RTD. The announcement was pretty big as the brand made it seem like the product was going to be a fully dosed formula just like Nutrex’s recently revealed Outlift RTD, which is the first fully dosed pre-workout RTD. HD Labs has now given us confirmation that the Calibrate RTD is just as we suspected, a fully dosed formula.

To be more specific the upcoming premixed pre-workout is in fact identical to the original Calibrate powder. A lot of people may be wondering how the brand is able to do that, as one of the main reasons things are removed for RTDs is because some ingredients have stability issues when packaged in water. Even the first fully dosed pre-workout RTD from Nutrex is without a couple of features from its powder, most notably its 3g of Creapure creatine.

The way HD Labs has made it all work for its Calibrate RTD is by not exactly making it a liquid product. The supplement is actually going to be sold as a powder in an empty RTD bottle, that you’ll then fill up with water and be on your way. That allows the brand to include two servings of everything from its original formula including 3.2g of CarnoSyn beta-alanine, 300mg of caffeine, and 5g of creatine.

Basically the on-the-go Calibrate is going to give fans the exact same experience they’ve come to enjoy with two scoops of the regular powder Calibrate. While that is great to hear, because of the way it’s packaged we don’t think that makes it the industry’s second fully dosed pre-workout RTD. We know of several other brands that have sold or given away samples and RTDs put together this way, meaning the Outlift RTD is still the first and only one out there.
