Vitakruid Elite pre-workout for womenWhat is pre-workout?
A pre-workout is a supplement you take before your training, specially developed for athletes who want to get the most out of their workout. Whether you are intensely engaged in strength training, doing an intensive HIIT session, or still want to exercise after a long day, a pre-workout can be a great addition to your routine. Pre-workout shakes are mainly used by experienced athletes who need that extra push. 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, which occurs naturally in the body, supports the production of carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine helps neutralize lactic acid by binding hydrogen ions, a process that is particularly important during exercise. Because of 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 is important to prepare your body well for a training session by getting the right nutrients. Before exercising, choose a meal rich in protein and slow carbohydrates. Do you need a snack shortly before your training? Then choose something easily digestible. Fast carbohydrates, for example, are ideal for giving you a boost without burdening your stomach.
Elite Pre-Workout for Women
Optimized for women's needs
Elite Pre-Workout for Women is specially tailored to the unique and physiological needs of women. This formula contains carefully chosen dosages that optimally support your body during your workout.
Unlike many pre-workouts with extremely high caffeine dosages, Elite Pre-Workout for Women offers a moderate amount of caffeine derived from natural Guayusa extract. With 60 mg of caffeine, comparable to a cup of coffee and 25% less than the men's formula. In addition, Thai ginger extract (enXtra®) has been added, which works perfectly with caffeine without a crash.
Moreover, the active ingredients L-Citrulline, Beta-alanine, and L-Arginine are precisely tailored to female muscle mass. Thanks to this balanced composition, Elite Pre-Workout for Women provides exactly what your body needs during your workout.
Concentrated Guayusa extract from the Amazon
Our Guayusa extract is directly extracted from the Amazon and is a powerful natural nutrient. In combination with L-Taurine, the effect of caffeine is further optimized. Furthermore, Guayusa is gentle on the stomach, making it a milder alternative to traditional caffeine sources such as coffee.
Mangiferin (Zynamite®) proven to work with caffeine
Elite Pre-Workout for Women also contains Mangiferin (Zynamite®), a progressive ingredient extracted from sustainably harvested mango leaf extracts. This completely natural and environmentally friendly alternative to caffeine provides similar effects, with a long-lasting action without the so-called energy crash.
Optimal L-Theanine and caffeine ratio of 2:1
The power of this formula lies in the carefully balanced 2:1 ratio of L-Theanine and caffeine. In addition to the Guayusa extract, Elite Pre-Workout for Women also contains green tea extracts. One extract is rich in L-Theanine (120 mg), while the other is concentrated on EGCG (92.5 mg).
L-Theanine, an amino acid naturally found in green tea, is valued for its unique property of regulating the stimulating effects of caffeine.
The women's formula contains a carefully adjusted amount of EGCG, which is no less than 131% higher than in the men's formula, specifically designed to optimally meet the needs of the female body.
Citrulline, Alanine, and Arginine as active ingredients
This pre-workout has been developed with precise dosages of L-Citrulline (2250 mg), Beta-Alanine (1125 mg), and L-Arginine (1000 mg). These active ingredients have been carefully chosen for their unique properties and complementary action.
L-Citrulline supports the ATP cycle, a process that is particularly important during your workout. Beta-Alanine plays a role in the production of carnosine in the muscles; this substance buffers lactic acid by binding hydrogen ions. In addition, L-Arginine contributes to nitrogen production. Together, these ingredients offer a synergistic effect.
High-quality forms for optimal absorption
The ingredients are selected in their most effective forms: L-Citrulline as DL-Malate, Beta-Alanine in pure form, and L-Arginine as Alpha-Ketoglutarate. These optimized forms are designed to ensure efficient absorption and utilization by the body, so you can count on effectiveness.
Citrulline, Arginine, and Taurine contribute to nitrogen production
L-Citrulline and L-Arginine are involved in the nitric oxide (NO) cycle. L-Arginine serves as a direct building block for NO, while L-Citrulline helps to recycle this molecule. Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid naturally found in the body, provides additional support in this process.
Nitric oxide is a substance that helps dilate blood vessels, a process also known as vasodilation. This mechanism ensures that oxygen and nutrients are transported to the muscles and other tissues.
Choline and vitamins B3 and B12 in the best forms
Our pre-workout is enriched with vitamin B3 (niacinamide), B12 (methylcobalamin), and choline (bitartrate), which are available in easily absorbable forms.
Optimal absorption through Enxtra® and Bioperine®
The Elite Pre-Workout for Women formula contains powerful ingredients that ensure improved absorption. An important component is Thai ginger extract Enxtra®, which works synergistically with caffeine without excessive stimulation.
Together with Bioperine®, Enxtra® ensures optimal absorption of nutrients. Bioperine®, a standardized extract from the black pepper fruit (Piper nigrum Linn), contains no less than 95-98% piperine. This substance improves the bioavailability of nutrients, so your body can optimally utilize the ingredients from Elite Pre-Workout for Women.
With AdCap® as an advanced desiccant sachet
Elite Pre-Workout for Women uses the advanced desiccant sachet AdCap® – an innovative technology that monitors product quality. This smart desiccant sachet prevents the powder from clumping or losing its effectiveness due to moisture absorption. Thanks to the AdCap® system, the active ingredients remain optimally protected, ensuring maximum freshness and effectiveness with every scoop.
