Ultimate Orange: Seriously Caffeinated Powder
Ultimate Orange has been around since 1982 – used exclusively in the bodybuilder scene. It was an ephedra-based stimulant. In 2001 production ceased. Last year they came back with their “new legal formula”.
Each scoop of Ultimate Orange (about 30 grams) contains 300mg caffeine and a whole stack of amino acids.
Right about now we need to read the warning:
“Ultimate Orange should only be used by serious, healthy, hard-training athletes…”
The amount of products out there for bodybuilders is overwhelming. Either there are thousands and thousands of bodybuilders – or – more like – there tens of thousands of wannabes who are being sold a fantasy.
Bodybuilding.com lists over 750 caffeine products in their store – mostly pills and various mixtures.

I also used the old origianl UO back in the 90′s where when i took it i woke up in the early hours with the shakes and then became wide awake this stuff was awsome i was really gutted when they banned it, i bought the the new stuff a few years later when they said they’d brought it back and i can honestly say it’s nowhere near as good as the old stuff, this is my opinion but personally i wont be buying it again unless they bring back the original
Used the original Ultimate Orange and Ultimate Punch…felt like Superman for hours….extremely fast heart rate, and kept you from sleeping….being older and wiser, I would NOT take it now.
Ultimate orange rocked, i remember when it was the thing to use for serious bodybuilders in the early 90′s. Dan Duchaine really had a great product here and was a wealth of knowledge. RIP Dan!!!
Dan Duchaine RIP,
Glad im not the only one who remembers that man, read several of his books. The orange, what can you say the stuff worked… you could get ripped fast using this stuff.. There is a reason why they banned it from college sports (before the efedra ban) Nothing an I have been trying just about everything on the market even came close. 1MR is pretty good pre workout an with correct stacks you may be able to get close but for a single product nothing has been close to ultimate orange
I used the original even capsules worked GREAT!!! A couple years ago I tried the “new” stuff and it is nowhere near what the banned stuff was. I would go for hours after taking that never had a problem sleeping but I took it right before working out in the afternoon. That stuff was great and it WORKED!!! new stuff doesn’t even come close to it. If they brought back the original I’d buy a ton of it…
