Not all pre-workouts are created equal. Let's break down the most common and effective ingredients.
Citrulline Malate
A non-essential amino acid that increases nitric oxide production, leading to better blood flow and 'pumps'. Clinical dose is typically 6-8g.
Beta-Alanine
Buffers lactic acid in the muscles, allowing you to train harder for longer. It's what causes the 'tingles'. Clinical dose is 3.2g.
