Should Pre-Workout supplements be cycled?Updated a year ago

Yes, it is highly recommended that you cycle your pre-workout supplements due to the stimulants. Cycling pre-workout supplements are aimed at helping to prevent adrenal gland fatigue, which can result in symptoms like exhaustion, sleep disturbances, a low immune system and food cravings. Additionally, cycling pre-workout can help you maintain caffeine sensitivity to ensure your pre-workout will consistently hit you with the same energetic punch. Some also prefer to cycle creatine as well, as it's effective for muscle building via shorter, higher intensity training sessions; however, we highly recommend doing your independent research or discussing further without one of our friendly team members.(Cooper, R et al. 2012)
