Should I be taking a pre-workout supplement?
We often get asked this question, and the answer (like most things health and wellness related). is “it depends”.
Before telling yourself yes or no, think about these questions:
What are your health and wellness goals?
Are you looking to have increased energy, improved focus, or better muscle pumps?
Do you work out regularly?
Are you looking to improve the performance of your workouts?
Do you have any health conditions that could be affected by taking a pre-workout supplement?
If you answered yes to any of the first four questions above, you may benefit from incorporating a pre-workout supplement into your daily routine. (You always should consult with your doctor before taking any supplement.)
Taking a pre-workout supplement can help your body adapt to stress, improve your performance (causing bigger gains) and reduce muscle soreness and fatigue.
So - what should you look for in a pre-workout supplement?
Ingredients are important.
Two important ingredients you always want included are caffeine (boost energy and alertness) and creatine monohydrate (enhances strength and muscle mass over time).
Other beneficial ingredients include:
Citrulline Malate - improves blood flow through producing nitric oxide that helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow throughout the body, may lower blood pressure and may assist with erectile dysfunction due to better blood vessel dilation
Vitamin B6 - boosts brain function (a deficiency in B6 may be linked with cognitive decline and dementia), improves metabolism, boosts immune system, regulates hormones, may reduce depression, may promote brain health and reduce Alzheimer’s risk, may reduce PMS symptoms, promotes eye health and may reduce inflammation associated with arthritis
It’s important to note that you’ll see the biggest benefits from taking this consistently - so, if you’re going to be all willy-nilly about taking it, it’s not going to have as big of an impact:)
