Beta Alanine– This is a common amino acid that can help with preventing the buildup of acid in muscle tissue which allows your muscles to work harder. Some of these research studies have suggested that beta alanine can do this.

Caffeine is another ingredient that is very popular and found in most pre-workout products. Some pre workout supplements will load up the pre-workout with up to 300 to 400 mg of caffeine per serving. Caffeine has been shown through research studies to improve athletic performance and strength.

L-arginine– is an amino found in most pre-workouts. There have been research studies that have shown that it can improve athletic performance. And there are also studies that say it doesn’t improve performance. So, the research studies there are relatively mixed.

Branch Chain Amino Acids, (BCAA’s)- These are found in most pre-workouts, and they are a group of essential amino acids which are leucine, isoleucine, valine, etc. Research studies have shown that it can decrease muscle soreness, increase muscle strength, etc.

L-Citrulline– is found in most pre-workouts and studies have shown it can help boost nitric oxide.  And the result of this can improve blood flow to the muscles.  And this can help support muscle performance and muscle growth.

Creatine– Lately some of the newer pre-workouts contain creatine. And creatine is a popular supplement and ingredient that can help build and maintain lean muscle mass and increase strength.

What are some of the factors you should look for in finding a pre-workout supplement?

• Check out the ingredient list to see that the ingredients are research backed. Check to see how many artificial sweeteners it has and if there are any proprietary blends.
• Check the quality of the product and make sure that there is 3^rd party validation of the ingredients of the product. That 3^rd party validation ensures that the ingredients display in the supplement facts are accurate.
• Allergens. You want to make sure there are no allergens like dairy or gluten in the product that you could possibly be allergic to.

Here are some of the ingredients you want to avoid are:

• Artificial Sweeteners
• Sugar alcohols
• Too much caffeine and stimulants

Some of the most common ingredients in pre-workouts are:

• BCAA’s
• Creatine
• Beta-Alanine
• Caffeine
• L-Citrulline

The average price can be anywhere from $19 to $49.00 depending on the size of the container of that pre-workout.

A pre-workout is designed to boost your energy and performance before a workout, but it isn’t mandatory to purchase one. If you eat a balanced diet that gives you enough carbs and fats, you don’t need a pre-workout.

A pre-workout would be only needed if you are always tired or fatigued before you work out or exercise. Most pre-workout  supplements are safe to take but you still need to do your independent research before you purchase any pre-workout that you are interested in.

The Bottom Line is the best pre workouts for women to take is one that has ingredients such as caffeine, BCAA’s, creatine, L-Citrulline. And the artificial sweeteners that are in it are minimal to 0. A pre-workout is only needed if you are feeling extremely tired or fatigued before you workout.
