Natural pre-workout: boost your workout without chemical stimulants

In the world of bodybuilding and fitness, pre-workout supplements have become a must-have. However, most contain high doses of caffeine or artificial stimulants, which are often poorly tolerated. Fortunately, there are effective natural alternatives based on science-backed ingredients. This comprehensive guide helps you boost your performance without harming your health.

What is a pre-workout used for?

A pre-workout supplement aims to:

• Increase physical and mental energy
• Stimulate vasodilation (better muscle congestion)
• Delay muscle fatigue
• Improve concentration and motivation

Unlike doping products, natural ingredients work in synergy with the metabolism without harm to the body.

The best effective natural ingredients

Citrulline malate

• Improves blood flow and muscle congestion
• Reduces fatigue by eliminating ammonia
• Effective dose: 6 to 8 g before exercise

Beta-alanine

• Increases muscle carnosine levels, which delays muscle acidification
• Improves endurance during short, intense efforts
• Optimal dose: 2 to 4 g/day

L-Arginine

• Precursor of NO (nitric oxide) → better vasodilation
• Stimulates the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles

L-Tyrosine

• Amino acid involved in the production of dopamine and norepinephrine
• Strengthens mental concentration, especially in states of stress or fatigue

Adaptogenic plant extracts

• Ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, Ashwagandha
• Strengthen resistance to physical and mental stress
• Regulate cortisol, the stress hormone

To avoid if you are looking for something natural:

• Synthetic caffeine (more than 300 mg), DMAA, synephrine, Yohimbine…
• Common side effects: palpitations, anxiety, sleep disturbances

When and how to take it?

• Consume 20 to 30 minutes before the session
• Always on an empty stomach or after a light snack
• Hydrate yourself abundantly before and during exercise
• Can be combined with creatine or BCAAs for complete action

Are there any side effects?

Properly dosed natural pre-workouts are generally safe for healthy people.

• Beta-alanine may cause temporary tingling (paresthesia), which is harmless.
• Avoid mixes containing too many “booster” or poorly identified ingredients

Always read labels, and if in doubt, seek medical advice.
