Beta-Alanine 3.2g

Pre-workout for energy, focus, pump, and endurance.. The product offers a broad spectrum of pre-workout benefits with a good stimulant blend. However, many performance-enhancing ingredients like Beta-Alanine, L-Citrulline, and Nitrosigine are below clinical doses, limiting their full potential. The high B6 dose is also notable.

8.0/10
EXCELLENT

This is a good pre-workout blend with a wide range of ingredients, though several are underdosed.
