What is it?

A multi-ingredient powder taken before training. Its main active ingredient is caffeine. Each 11 g scoop contains 175 mg of caffeine, plus 3 g of creatine, 1.5 g of beta-alanine and smaller amounts of citrulline and other ingredients.

Why might it matter?

Caffeine has well-established effects on alertness and exercise performance. A pre-workout is never necessary for effective training — coffee provides caffeine too.

Who is it useful for?

  • Healthy adults who tolerate caffeine well
  • People who train early or after work and want a pre-training routine
