How long do you take Pre-Workout before working out?Updated a year ago

While it may vary from product to product, taking your pre-workout supplement 20-30 minutes before working out is recommended. It's important to note that everybody is different, meaning we all absorb ingredients at different speeds, which may alter the rate at which your pre-workout takes effect. While 20-30 minutes is a general rule of thumb, for most people, it's a process of trial and error to find the right timing for your body, which can range from 10 minutes to one hour.

One of the most studied active ingredients found in pre-workout powders is Arginine which offers a half-life of anywhere between 30-120 minutes, depending on the individual and dosage.(Viribay, A et al. 2020)
