The Legends at Ghost Lifestyle have heard the feedback from customers loud and clear: “We want a stronger LEGEND pre-workout supplement!” In September 2022, we got to see their response, and in 2024, it’s been given the V2 upgrade.
Ghost Legend is one of the best-selling pre-workout supplements on the market, developed by a team whose mantra is to “formulate supplements for the 1% who understand ingredient science, but craft the brand’s messaging for the other 99%”. The strategy definitely works, but when it comes to pre-workout supplements, one size just doesn’t fit all.
Some athletes want more energy, and that means more caffeine. The Legends have delivered:
Introducing Ghost Legend ALL OUT
Ghost Legend ALL OUT is a maximally-dosed version of the LEGEND pre-workout supplement. At 22 grams per serving, it takes the award-winning formula to a whole new level, and in 2024, the pumps just got bigger in V2.
Now with a Triple Nitrate Blend in V2
Inside, the GHOST LEGEND ALL OUT blend provides a full yield dose of 6 grams of citrulline from both L-citrulline and citrulline nitrate. New to V2 is full-yield beta-alanine from beta alanine and beta alanine nitrate, and then even more nitrate coming from full-yield betaine with a similar blend of beta alanine and beta alanine nitrate, an ingredient we’ve never seen before.
But the GHOST SMART ENERGY blend is where things really get tuned up, with a massive 400 milligrams of caffeine from a blend of caffeine anhydrous and zumXR extended release caffeine. In addition, L-tyrosine and Alpha-GPC doses have been amped up, with additional energy from theobromine and bitter orange.
It’s all tied together with the GHOST ABSORPTION blend, making for the highest-energy pre-workout supplement the brand has ever developed. And it’s coming to GNC, for those who like to Live Well and live… lively.

Ghost Legend ALL OUT Ingredients
Legend ALL OUT is similar to previous versions of GHOST LEGEND, only… bigger and better. To give you a general idea, the original Legend pre-workout currently has 300 milligrams of caffeine, while ALL OUT clocks in at 400.
Get ready for a loaded, energy-fueled workout. Let’s quickly cover the three major blends below:
-
Ghost Legend ALL OUT
This is the ergogenic support blend built to bring a massive nitric oxide pump:
-
Full Yield Citrulline – 6000 mg
GHOST starts the formula off with a combination of two citrulline ingredients — vegan fermented L-citrulline and NO3-T citrulline nitrate, intelligently-formulated to yield a total of six grams of total citrulline.
L-citrulline is an amino acid that helps increase the body’s production of nitric oxide (NO).[1] Improved nitric oxide levels lead to an effect known as vasorelaxation, and a 6 gram dose of citrulline has been shown to improve athletic performance and oxygen uptake.[2]
What’s unique here is that GHOST is targeting nitric oxide production through two pathways. On top of the 6 gram yield of L-citrulline, there’s also some nitrate (NO3-) as well. Whereas L-citrulline works on the l-citrulline-to-l-arginine eNOS pathway,[1] nitrate can lead to increased nitric oxide production through the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway.[3,4]
So with these two ingredients combined, we not only get a clinically-tested 6 gram dose of L-citrulline, we also get a solid amount of nitrate to further increase nitric oxide production.
-
Full Yield Beta Alanine – 3200 mg
Beta alanine is an amino acid frequently used in pre-workout supplements to assist muscle buffering. It combines with the essential amino acid L-histidine to help the body form more carnosine, a molecule used to buffer acids in muscle tissue.[5] With greater carnosine levels, we can see improved lactic acid buffering in order to support performance.
There have been two major meta-analyses on beta alanine supplementation: The first demonstrated that it supports performance in exercises 1-4 minutes long,[6] and the second showed that it can improve work capacity in exercises ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes long.[7] In the second meta-analysis, the authors concluded the following:
“β-alanine supplementation had a significant overall ergogenic effect on exercise”.[7]
Now with beta alanine nitrate!
New in Legend ALL OUT V2 is that we have an additional 0.5 grams of nitrate coming from beta alanine nitrate, adding to workout pumps. The ultimate yield of beta alanine stays the same at 3.2 grams, but the added nitrate is yet another performance booster.
The general goal with beta alanine is to get muscle carnosine levels to saturation,[8] so this is an ingredient we suggest taking daily. On non-training days when not using a pre-workout, consider using an additional beta-alanine supplement.
-
Full Yield Betaine Anhydrous – 2500 mg
Not to be confused with beta alanine, betaine anhydrous is another popular pre-workout ingredient that serves multiple purposes. It’s also known as trimethylglycine, containing three methyl groups that serve as methyl donors for critical processes in the body.[9] Betaine also functions as an osmolyte, supporting improved water balance and cellular hydration within the body.[10]
Research has shown that a 2.5 gram daily dose — the amount we have here in GHOST LEGEND ALL OUT — can lead to:
- Improved athletic performance[11-14]
- Increased muscle mass gains[15,16]
- Greater fat loss and body recomposition[17]
With this research, it’s no surprise that we see betaine in so many pre-workout supplements, this one included.
Now with betaine nitrate in V2!
Once again, we have the same 2.5 gram dose of betaine, but get even more nitrate-baesd pumps from an added 0.35 grams of nitrate due to the gram of betaine nitrate added. This formula really smashes.

Ghost Smart Energy
We’ve never seen a Ghost energy blend like this! Before diving in, it’s important to note that a single scoop of LEGEND ALL OUT has a whopping 400 milligrams of caffeine, some of which comes in extended-release fashion. If you’re unsure of your stimulant tolerance, test with half of a scoop to assess.
-
L-Tyrosine (Vegan Fermented) – 2000 mg
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that’s used to improve focus and energy levels by supporting the production of catecholamine neurotransmitters like dopamine and noradrenaline.[18] It’s been shown to mitigate stress and enhance performance in military research.[19,20]
What’s impressive here in LEGEND ALL OUT is that GHOST doubled their standard dose – LEGEND has a gram, but they took its tyrosine to the next level with the ALL OUT version.
-
Alpha-GPC (Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline 50%) (delivering 300mg Alpha-GPC) – 600 mg
Alpha-GPC is a highly-bioavailable form of choline, a B-vitamin that’s crucial to the structural integrity of cell membranes.[22] It’s the precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports learning, working memory, and inter-neuron communication.[23] Animal models show that Alpha-GPC is able to cross the blood-brain barrier.[24]
In one study published in 2008, a 600 milligram dose of alpha-GPC showed significantly improved leg strength and post-exercise serum growth hormone compared to placebo.[25] Another study published in 2015 showed that the same 600 milligram dose taken over the course of six days was effective at increasing lower body force production.[21]
-
Caffeine – 400 mg (from 300 mg Caffeine Anhydrous and 139 mg zumXR Extended Release Caffeine [delivering 100mg caffeine])
GHOST’s customer base (known as Legends) wanted more caffeine, and they sure got it here! The whopping total caffeine yield of 400 milligrams is well beyond anything the brand has ever released.
Anyone considering taking LEGEND ALL OUT should know how caffeine affects them at this point. It blocks the adenosine receptor, promoting wakefulness, increasing neural activity in the brain, and reducing feelings of fatigue.[26,27] Additionally, it can increase the release of dopamine, leading to its feel-good effects.[28]
Caffeine has been shown to improve physical exercise performance in both aerobic and anaerobic exercises and sports.[29]
What’s unique here is the fully-disclosed blend, where zumXR Extended Release Caffeine is utilized to prolong the energy generated from the pre-workout. This, along with theobromine (the next ingredient), leads us to suggest you not to use this pre-workout too close to bedtime — understand your caffeine cut-off time!
Additionally, remember that this is a large dose of caffeine, and isn’t intended for beginners. If unsure of your caffeine tolerance, begin with half of a scoop or run a tub of the original LEGEND first.

PureWay-C (Ascorbic Acid and Citrus Bioflavonoids)
With all of the added nitrates in Legend ALL OUT V2, it’s not surprising to GHOST’s fans that vitamin C has been added to the formula as well. And as expected, it comes in the form of PureWay-C, the Legends’ preferred form, detailed below.
Vitamin C is well-known for its antioxidant properties,[30,31] its supplementation may support nitric oxide production on its own[32] while combating deficiencies that could limit athletic performance.[33] Research shows it may reduce soreness and post-workout muscle damage biomarkers.[34,35] We’ve also seen reduced fatigue in dieters on calorie-restricted diets when using vitamin C.[36]
Why PureWay-C?
Short answer: PureWay-C includes bioflavonoids, and there are at least four published studies showing greater bioavailability, vitamin c retention, and overrall efficacy.[37-40]
For instance, in a 2008 study, researchres put PureWay C up against three other forms of vitamin C (ascorbic acid, Ester-C [ascorbate-calcium threonate-dehydroascorbate], and calcium ascorbate), ultimately concluding the following:[37]
“PureWay-C supplementation leads to the highest absolute serum vitamin C levels when compared to AA, CaA and Ester-C. PureWay-C provides a statistically significant greater serum level than calcium ascorbate at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post oral supplementation”[37]
We’ve seen PureWay-C in many other supplements, including Ghost Pump, Ghost Hydration, and Ghost Glow, so this is definitely no surprise, but a welcomed addition.
-
Theobromine – 100 mg
Theobromine is a metabolite of caffeine, and a related member of the methylxanthine class of alkaloids. Its effects are similar to those of caffeine, but more mild and longer-lasting due to its longer half-life.[41]
With both theobromine and zumXR Extended Release Caffeine (discussed above), GHOST LEGEND ALL OUT is designed to last longer, while also reducing caffeine crashes.
-
Bitter Orange (Citrus aurantium) Fruit extract – 60 mg
Also known as citrus aurantium, bitter orange fruit extract contains numerous metabolites and flavonoids with several metabolic benefits.[42] Of its flavonoids are flavones, flavanones, and flavonols that have various health-promoting properties, and there are also phenylethylamine alkaloids shown to improve metabolic rate and energy expenditure.[43]
While we’re not sure what GHOST’s bitter orange is standardized for, pre-workout supplements are generally formulated for energy and metabolic rate improvement, so we can likely expect it to be geared in that direction.

GHOST ABSORPTION
-
AstraGin (Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng) Root extracts – 50 mg
Finally, AstraGin is a popular ingredient from NuLiv Science, developed to improve the absorption of the rest of the formula. AstraGin is extracted from astragalosides and ginsenosides, which are botanical compounds from astragalus and ginseng (respectively) that provide various health benefits.[44,45]
Internal data from NuLiv Science shows an increased uptake of amino acids and vitamins, including L-citrulline, which is here in LEGEND ALL OUT:[46]
We often see AstraGin in 25 or 50 milligram doses, and as you could have guessed, with this formulation, we have the upper end of that range.
-
Flavors available
GHOST is well-known for their incredible flavor profiles, and it’s no different here:
For Legend ALL OUT V2, they’re starting with blue raspberry, orange cream, cherry limeade, and WARHEADS Sour Green Apple — but there may be more over time, so see the list above for what’s out there!
Conclusion: Go ALL OUT
Ghost Legend ALL OUT is about as strong of a supplement that we’re going to see come from the brand. In fact, it clocks in at nearly twice the caffeine of the original LEGEND formula they originally launched in 2016. Times have certainly changed, but GHOST is great at changing with them.
Shortly after that original 2016 launch was the first collab that turned the industry on its head — WARHEADS — and we’re glad to see the tradition continue with Legend ALL OUT.
The real story in V2, though, is the triple nitrate blend, and the first time we get a chance to use beta alanine nitrate. It’s been great to see GHOST continue to innovate, while keeping things insanely transparent while we’re at it.
With more options, customers of all sizes and stimulant-tolerances win!
