Kategorien: Pre-workout

Typical ingredients in a pre-workout powder include: * **Caffeine:** Stimulates the central nervous system, increases alertness, and improves concentration.

* **L-Citrulline** (or citrulline malate): Counteracts fatigue, improves blood flow ("pump"), and aids recovery.

* **Beta-Alanine:** Increases muscle strength and endurance and may cause a mild tingling sensation under the skin.

* **Creatine:** Plays a role in supplying energy to the muscles, promotes physical performance during high-intensity, high-intensity exercise, and can increase muscle growth.

* **L-Arginine:** Improves blood flow, increases nutrient and oxygen transport to the muscles, and can increase muscle strength.

* **L-Glutamine:** Can be converted into glucose (gluconeogenesis) to provide the body with new energy when glucose stores are depleted.

Taking pre-workout powder can offer the following benefits: * Increased energy and alertness due to caffeine.

* Enhanced focus and motivation.

* Improved blood flow to the muscles (e.g., through citrulline).

* Delayed fatigue during intense training.

* Targeted support for pre-workout readiness.

* Potentially enhanced muscle pump (due to ingredients such as L-arginine, L-carnitine, citrulline, arginine, or BCAAs).

You should avoid prohibited or harmful substances such as DMAA (dimethylamylamine), DMBA, and DMHA, as these can raise blood pressure and are suspected of causing heart attacks and strokes. Excessive creatine consumption can also lead to water retention, weight gain, and, rarely, kidney damage.

Typical ingredients in pre-workout powder are caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine, L-citrulline, L-arginine and L-glutamine.
