Pre-Workout

  • Enhancing energy and focus. Ingredients like caffeine are central nervous system stimulants that can increase energy levels, mental alertness, and concentration during exercise.
  • Improving endurance. Supplements with beta-alanine can help buffer acid buildup in your muscles, which may allow you to work out harder and for a longer duration before fatigue sets in.
  • Increasing strength and power. Creatine is an amino acid found in many formulas that can help increase muscular strength and power output, particularly for short-duration, high-intensity exercises like weightlifting.
  • Promoting muscle pumps and blood flow. Ingredients such as L-citrulline and L-arginine are nitric oxide boosters that promote the widening of blood vessels. This can increase blood flow and nutrient delivery to your muscles, leading to a greater "muscle pump" sensation.
  • Supporting hydration. Electrolytes like sodium and potassium are lost through sweat during exercise. Replenishing them with a pre-workout can help maintain fluid balance and muscle function.
  • Aiding recovery. Some ingredients, like certain amino acids, may help to reduce muscle soreness and decrease recovery time after exercise.
