Are Pre-Workout supplement safe?Updated a year ago
Yes, pre-workout supplements are safe and can offer many benefits if used correctly. To use a pre-workout safely, you must use it in moderation and never exceed the recommended serving size. Each product's recommended serving size will vary, so we recommend reading the label carefully. Likewise, if you're new to a pre-workout supplement, you can always assess your tolerance by taking half the recommended serving size, as everyone's tolerance is different. We recommend that once you finish a tub of pre-workout, you take a break and allow your body to reset, namely your adrenal glands so that you can stay caffeine sensitive and get the most out of your pre-workout supplement.
Importantly, note that any compound or ingredient can be unsafe in high quantities. For example, it is recommended that healthy adults don't consume more than 400mg of caffeine daily. Excessive caffeine consumption may result in high blood pressure, impaired sleep and elevated stress.(Temple, J et al. 2017)
