Ingredients That Boost Performance Now

Give the body what it needs to perform now. During this workout.

A pre-workout's job is the next 60-180 minutes. Pre gives everything you need to give today's workout more blood flow, oxygen delivery, focus, endurance, and hydration.

8g
Citrulline
Opens blood flow and the pump — more oxygen to the muscle you're working.
600mg
Alpha-GPC
Sharp, locked-in focus and mind-muscle connection — the clean 'dialed-in' feeling.
500mg
NO3-T® Nitrates
A stable nitrate source for endurance and oxygen efficiency — the runner's edge.
850mg
Electrolytes
Sodium and potassium to stay hydrated and firing through the hardest sets.
Structure/function support. Individual results vary.

Motivation in a bottle.

The hardest rep is the decision to train at all. Pre makes that one easy — mix the scoop and you've already committed. The rest is just the better session you came for.

The scoop is the contract

Once it's mixed, the decision is made — you're not leaving without a workout.

The extra reps

The set where you'd normally rack it — you get two or three more.

The 5pm session

Walk in flat, mix a scoop, and the session shows up anyway.

The loop

Push harder, recover, repeat. Better sessions stack into real progress — and that's where the results actually live.

Pre supports blood flow, endurance, focus, and output with real electrolytes — so you bring more to every session.

what's inside

What's inside Pre.

Six performance ingredients, clinically dosed — pump, focus, endurance, and hydration. Caffeine left out of the base so you control your own stimulant.

8 g
L-Citrulline

Raises nitric oxide for blood flow, pumps, and oxygen delivery to working muscle.

600 mg
Alpha-GPC

From 1,200mg of AlphaSize® (50%) — boosts acetylcholine for sharp focus and mind-muscle connection.

2 g
L-Tyrosine

Supports focus and mental drive under training stress — the dedicated drive ingredient.

2 g
Taurine

Supports endurance, hydration, and muscle function under load.

500 mg
NO3-T® Nitrates

A stable nitrate source for endurance and oxygen efficiency — the runner's edge.

700 / 150 mg
Sodium + Potassium

Real electrolytes to keep you hydrated and firing through hard sets — most pre-workouts skip them.

Performance you can dial in.

what it actually does

Blood flow, focus, hydration.

Citrulline and NO3-T nitrates open blood flow so working muscle gets more oxygen. Alpha-GPC and tyrosine sharpen focus and drive, while taurine and electrolytes keep you hydrated and firing under load. Clean performance you can stack your own caffeine on.

Feel it from the first scoop.

The pump, focus, and endurance show up the first session — and the habit is what compounds. Individual results vary.

30–60 MIN

The pump and focus show up.

Citrulline, nitrates, Alpha-GPC and tyrosine kick in — you feel the blood flow and lock in before your first working set.

Straight answers.

The questions people ask about pre-workout — and the ones a good coach knows you should. No spin.

Pre-order Pre

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

When and how do I take it?

One scoop in water 30–60 minutes before you train. Use it any time of day.

What about caffeine?

Caffeine is one of the best performance enhancers there is — we recommend using it. Pre comes in two versions: one with caffeine built in, and a stim-free one so you can dose your own or skip it. Pick your preference.

Where does the focus come from?

Alpha-GPC and tyrosine. Alpha-GPC raises acetylcholine for sharp mind-muscle focus, and 2g of tyrosine supports drive under stress — the locked-in feeling. Stack your own caffeine on top if you like.

Where's the beta-alanine and creatine?

In Engine. The daily-saturation ingredients — creatine, beta-alanine, betaine — work best taken every single day, so they live in Engine, our daily base. Pre is pure per-session performance, so you're not paying twice for the same thing across two products.

Is 8g of citrulline really necessary?

Yes. The blood-flow research uses ~6–8g of citrulline. Most pre-workouts hide 1–3g in a blend so they can claim it's in there. We dose to the studies, at the top of the range.

Will it help me build muscle?

Indirectly. Pre helps you train harder — more reps, more output, more quality work. The training builds the muscle; Pre just lets you do more of it.

Is it safe to take daily?

Yes — none of the core ingredients build tolerance or dependency. Take it before every session; if you run the caffeinated version, manage caffeine like you normally would.

What's the deal with the Post bundle?

Pre and Post are the training duo — energy in, recovery after. Buy both and save 10%, and another 10% when you subscribe. Fundamentals, bundled, at the price they should be.

When does Pre ship?

Pre is on pre-order while we finish the first production run. Reserve yours now and you're first in line when it lands — and the 90-day guarantee still applies.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Skip, pause, or cancel from your account whenever you want, no hoops. And there's a 90-day money-back guarantee if it's not for you.
