About 1st Phorm Project-1

Project-1 is 1st Phorm's newer pre-workout, which the brand describes as its "brand new lower-stimulant formula" — 200mg of caffeine anhydrous, positioned as the moderate option next to the higher-stim Project-1 Pro. It runs a genuinely large 5g dose of creatine monohydrate directly in the pre-workout, alongside 6g citrulline, 300mg Alpha GPC, and 190mg PhytO2™.

1st Phorm doesn't publish a servings-per-container figure on the product page, so we're comparing tub price rather than guessing a per-serving number: $56.99 one-time, $49.99 on subscription.

1st Phorm built its reputation on direct-to-consumer coaching and a large affiliate network of trainers who recommend the brand — a different growth model than Unmatched's ambassador-code approach, but similar in that both cut out traditional retail margin. Where they differ most is formulation philosophy: 1st Phorm leans toward maximalist doses (5g creatine, 6g citrulline, all in a "lower-stim" product), while Unmatched spreads that same budget across more ingredient categories — the nootropic stack, the GAA precursor — rather than maximizing any single number.

One dosing detail worth knowing: 1st Phorm's own directions warn never to exceed 2 scoops of Project-1 in a 24-hour period, and specifically call out that it "contains caffeine" with a warning not to combine it with other caffeinated products — standard, sensible label language for a formula built around a real, if moderate, 200mg dose. If you're the kind of lifter who also drinks coffee before training, that's worth factoring in regardless of which pre-workout you choose.

Where Project-1 Is Genuinely Better

More Raw Creatine

5g of creatine monohydrate directly in the pre-workout is a bigger dose than BH2K's 2g CreGAAtine blend — if you want the biggest possible creatine dose in one scoop without a separate product, Project-1 delivers more.

Lower-Stim by Design

1st Phorm built Project-1 specifically as the calmer option next to Project-1 Pro — 200mg caffeine is a genuinely moderate dose for anyone who still wants caffeine but not a high-stim formula.

Where BH2K Wins

No Caffeine At All

Paraxanthine gives BH2K a real stimulant effect without caffeine's tolerance curve or crash — Project-1, even at a moderate 200mg, is still a caffeine formula.

GAA's Cognitive Angle

BH2K's CreGAAtine blend pairs its smaller creatine dose with GAA specifically for the blood-brain-barrier crossing and cognitive research behind it — Project-1's plain monohydrate doesn't offer that angle.

No Subscription Needed for the Best Price

1st Phorm's best price requires a recurring subscription. STEVEN10 gets you the discount on a one-time order, every time.

Which Unmatched Product Is the Closest Match?

BH2K is the closest match — both are moderate-energy, full-dose pre-workouts rather than extreme high-stim formulas. If you want the biggest raw creatine dose in one scoop, Project-1 wins there; if you want a caffeine-free stimulant, BH2K is the pick.

If you specifically want more caffeine than either offers, 1st Phorm's Project-1 Pro is the closer comparison to Outlier or a higher-stim formula generally — and if you'd rather skip stimulants altogether, Endura-Formance and Dissident are the pair to compare instead.
