Caffeine is one of the most popular<br />
ingredients in pre-workouts due to its<br />
ability to raise energy levels and sharpen<br />
focus.¹ Moreover, research has shown that<br />
caffeine can positively impact muscle<br />
strength and power. Creatine is another<br />
popular ingredient due to extensive<br />
research suggesting its ability to support<br />
athletic performance and aid in postworkout<br />
recovery. Finally, beta-alanine has<br />
been linked to potentially increased<br />
endurance and strength while working out<br />
when consumed in recommended<br />
quantities. Overall, while more research<br />
needs to be conducted, recent research has<br />
found that the consumption of multiingredient<br />
pre-workout supplements can<br />
improve athletic performance, increase<br />
strength, and bolster endurance.<br />
Potential Concerns<br />
The biggest concern related to pre-workout<br />
consumption comes from some ingredients’<br />
side effects.¹,² These concerns include<br />
trouble sleeping, upset stomach, increased<br />
heart rate, anxiety induced by caffeine,<br />
increased diastolic blood pressure induced<br />
by creatine, and short-term tingling and<br />
flushed skin caused by beta-alanine and<br />
niacin. These side effects can be regulated<br />
by closely monitoring ingredient doses and<br />
individual tolerance and sensitivity. Some<br />
ingredients found in pre-workout<br />
supplements may also have interactions<br />
with certain medications, making it<br />
necessary to consult a medical professional<br />
before beginning use.<br />
Additionally, individuals with existing<br />
health conditions may have adverse<br />
reactions to pre-workout supplements if<br />
precautions are not taken.¹,² Long-term use<br />
of pre-workout supplements<br />
can be particularly problematic and<br />
dangerous for those who have<br />
cardiovascular conditions and high blood<br />
pressure, and chronic supplement use may<br />
cause damage to the liver which can lead to<br />
further problems.² Ultimately, it is<br />
important to consult with a medical<br />
professional before starting the intake of<br />
any supplements and to research the safety<br />
and credibility of a supplement that you<br />
want to try before starting it.<br />
