What is the best way to take PRE Extreme?

• Mix one heaping scoop of PRE into 12-14 ounces of water and consume 30-45 minutes prior to training.

Why does PRE Extreme contain carbohydrates? I heard carbs are bad for you.

• Believe it or not, carbs (glucose/glycogen in the body) are the preferred fuel source for muscles, especially during anaerobic activities such as strength training. Without them, fatigue sets in, and workouts end prematurely. We have found PRE Extreme to be very effective for those individuals who work out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and in a glycogen-depleted state.

Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (Cluster Dextrin®): A high-quality and high-performance patented carbohydrate that has the ability to quickly pass through the stomach without causing any sort of bloating, upset stomach, or nausea. Cluster dextrin can provide you with a boost of sustained energy during your workouts, which can aid in increasing workout performance.

L-Leucine: An essential amino acid used to boost protein synthesis and help increase ATP to be used as energy.

Beta-Alanine: This common yet potent ingredient can increase performance, reduce fatigue, heighten focus, elevate muscular endurance, and supports muscle growth.

Betaine Anhydrous: This powerful ingredient is beloved by all thanks to its ability to help improve power, enhance muscle pumps, improve hydration, and support protein synthesis.

Creatine Monohydrate (PharmaPure™): A patented ingredient that may support muscle growth, improve performance, boost strength, and increase energy.

L-Citrulline: Found to support athletic performance and increase plasma levels of arginine to improve vasodilation, blood flow, muscle pumps, and nutrient transport.

Agmatine Sulfate: A unique ingredient that aids in nutrient partitioning, allowing the body to store and utilize glycogen for workouts, increase nitric oxide production, and enhance blood flow to maximize muscle pumps.

Inositol-Stabilized Arginine Silicate (Nitrosigine®): A patented ingredient that can increase nitric oxide production to improve blood flow and enhance muscular pumps.

L-Tyrosine: An amino acid used by athletes and exercisers to increase energy and endurance.

Choline Bitartrate (VitaCholine™): A patented and powerful ingredient that can help with overall brain function, memory, and can also improve mental focus.

Caffeine Anhydrous USP: This ingredient plays a role in boosting the metabolism and maximizing energy production while also helping decrease fatigue, improve cognition, and support recovery.

Infinergy™: A patented di-caffeine malate that helps enhance mental focus and energy production while also being able to increase thermogenesis and aid in maximizing weight loss.

L-Theanine (TheaPure™): A powerful standalone ingredient that, when combined with caffeine, promotes enhanced cognition and attention.

Yohimbine HCl: This potent ingredient can improve muscle pumps, enhance blood flow, increase energy, and elevate workout performance.

Huperzine A: This toothed clubmoss has been found to aid in brain function and can help improve memory.

Taurine: Research has shown that this amino acid can help increase strength, reduce muscle fatigue, heighten concentration, and supports hydration.

Calcium Potassium Phosphate Citrate (Calci-K™): A patented ingredient that combines calcium, potassium, and phosphorus into one easily absorbed complex. Calci-K plays a role in proper hydration and can also optimize muscle contraction.

Sodium Phosphate: Plays a role in reducing muscle cramps, minimizes muscle pain, improves muscle acidity, and can increase the amount of oxygen available for the muscles during workouts.
