Pre-workout complex is a blend of ingredients designed to enhance energy, focus, and pump during workouts.
Key Ingredients
Caffeine (150-300 mg)
The foundation of any pre-workout. Increases energy, focus, and endurance. Effects felt within 20-30 minutes.
Beta-Alanine (2-5 g)
Lactic acid buffer. Allows for more repetitions. May cause skin "tingling" (paresthesia) — this is normal and safe.
Citrulline (6-8 g)
Increases nitric oxide levels → dilates blood vessels → better pump and nutrient delivery to muscles.
Taurine (1-2 g)
Improves hydration of muscle cells, reduces cramps.
Is it safe?
When dosages are followed — yes. But there are rules:
- Do not take after 6 PM — caffeine will interfere with sleep
- Start with half a serving to assess tolerance
- Take breaks (2 weeks after every 6-8 weeks)
- Do not combine with large amounts of coffee
