Pre-workout, the drink before the session

Caffeine, beta-alanine, citrulline: what a pre-workout contains, what it does before training, and how to dose it sensibly.

Pre-workout boosters have become popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for their ability to increase energy, endurance and focus.

What are the key ingredients in pre-workout boosters?

  1. Guarana: guarana is a shrub whose seeds have stimulating, energising effects thanks to their exceptional caffeine content. It supports focus and memory and can even help with weight management. It is an excellent ally against fatigue and a mainstay of general wellbeing.
  2. Caffeine: familiar to everyone, caffeine increases energy and focus by stimulating the central nervous system.
  3. Beta-alanine: beta-alanine reduces muscle fatigue by buffering the lactic acid produced during exercise.
  4. Creatine: perhaps the best-known supplement among gym-goers, and certainly the most documented. Creatine improves strength and muscular power by increasing phosphocreatine stores in the muscles.

What benefits do pre-workout boosters bring?

  1. More energy: pre-workout boosters raise your energy level, letting you train harder and for longer.
  2. Better endurance: they delay the onset of fatigue, letting you do more reps or run for longer.
  3. Sharper focus: ingredients such as caffeine improve mental focus, helping you stay locked in during your workout.

How do you use pre-workout boosters?

Take your booster 10 to 30 minutes before training for the best results.
