Vitakruid Elite pre-workout for menWhat is pre-workout?
A pre-workout is a supplement you take before your workout, specially developed for athletes who want to get the most out of their workout. Whether you're dedicated to strength training, doing an intense HIIT session, or still want to work out after a long day, a pre-workout can be a valuable addition to your routine. Pre-workout shakes are primarily used by experienced athletes who need that extra boost. But runners and novice athletes are also increasingly discovering the benefits of a good pre-workout.
Where do the pre-workout tingles come from?
Taking Beta-Alanine can sometimes cause a tingling sensation, also known as paresthesia. This is a harmless side effect that disappears on its own, but not everyone finds it pleasant.
For most users, the benefits of Beta-Alanine outweigh the temporary tingling sensation it can cause. This amino acid, naturally present in the body, supports the production of carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine helps neutralize lactic acid by binding hydrogen ions, a process primarily important during exercise. Due to this proven effectiveness, we have included Beta-Alanine in an optimal dosage as one of the main ingredients in our pre-workout.
Nutrition as pre-workout
It's important to properly prepare your body for a workout by getting the right nutrients. Before exercising, choose a meal rich in protein and complex carbohydrates. Do you need a snack shortly before your workout? Then choose something easily digestible. Fast carbohydrates, for example, are ideal for giving you a boost without burdening your stomach.
Elite Pre Workout Men
Perfectly tailored to men's needs
Elite Pre Workout Men is specially developed to meet the physiological needs and demands of men. This formula is composed with precisely adjusted dosages to maximally support your body during intensive training.
Unlike many pre-workouts that contain extremely high doses of caffeine, Elite Pre Workout Men offers a more balanced approach. With 80 mg of caffeine, derived from natural Guayusa extract, the amount is comparable to that of a cup of coffee. In addition, the formula contains Zynamite®, an innovative ingredient that works synergistically with caffeine without a crash. Moreover, the strong combination of L-CCitrulline, Beta-alanine, and L-Arginine is specifically tailored to male muscle mass for effective support. Many pre-workouts on the market contain a high dose of caffeine, often in synthetic form. Our Elite Pre Workout Men, however, exclusively contains caffeine from Guayusa extract, a completely natural source.
Concentrated Guayusa extract from the Amazon
The Guayusa extract we use in our formula comes directly from the Amazon and is a powerful natural ingredient. The natural caffeine in combination with L-Taurine further enhances this effect.
In addition, Guayusa extract is gentle on the stomach and thus a friendlier alternative for the digestive system than traditional caffeine sources like coffee.
Mangiferin (Zynamite®): synergistic effect with caffeine
Elite Pre Workout Men is further enriched with Mangiferin (Zynamite®), an innovative ingredient derived from sustainably harvested mango tree leaves. This 100% natural and ecologically responsible alternative to caffeine offers the same effect, but with a long-lasting impact without the well-known crash feeling.
Ideal 2:1 ratio of L-Theanine and caffeine
What makes this formula unique is the balanced 2:1 ratio between L-Theanine and caffeine. L-Theanine, an amino acid derived from green tea, is known for its ability to balance the stimulating effect of caffeine.
With the active ingredients L-Citrulline, Beta-Alanine, and L-Arginine
This pre-workout is carefully formulated with effective dosages of L-Citrulline (3000 mg), Beta-Alanine (1700 mg), and L-Arginine (1500 mg). These active ingredients have been selected for their unique and synergistic action.
The best forms for maximum absorption
The ingredients are available in their most effective forms: L-Citrulline as DL-Malate, Beta-Alanine in pure form, and L-Arginine as Alpha-Ketoglutarate. These high-quality forms ensure that your body can optimally absorb and utilize the substances for effectiveness.
Citrulline, Arginine and Taurine support nitric oxide production
L-Citrulline and L-Arginine play a role in the nitric oxide (NO) cycle. L-Arginine acts as a direct precursor to NO, while L-Citrulline supports the recycling of NO. Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid naturally found in the body, plays a supportive role in this process.
NO is a molecule that helps dilate blood vessels. This phenomenon, also known as vasodilation, ensures that oxygen and nutrients can be transported to, among other things, the muscles.
Vitamins B3, B12, and Choline in easily absorbable forms
This pre-workout contains vitamins B3 (niacinamide), B12 (methylcobalamin), and choline (bitartrate) in forms that are easily absorbed by the body.
Improved absorption thanks to Bioperine®
Bioperine®, a standardized extract from the black pepper fruit (Piper nigrum Linn), contains 95-98% piperine – a substance that significantly improves the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients. This means that the ingredients in Elite Pre Workout Men are optimally absorbed by your body and can be effectively utilized.
With innovative desiccant sachet: AdCap®
Elite Pre Workout Men is equipped with the innovative desiccant sachet AdCap®, an advanced technology that guarantees the quality of the product. This desiccant sachet prevents the powder from clumping or losing its effectiveness due to moisture exposure. The AdCap® system ensures that the active ingredients are optimally preserved, so you can count on maximum effectiveness and freshness with every dose.
