*Citrulline Malate is usually 2 parts Citrulline to 1 part Malic Acid. We only count the Citrulline component. So 6g of Citrulline Malate only counts as 4g of Citrulline.

When reviewing pre-workout products we try to give you the best overall picture of value and quality. Even if a pre-workout has a solid formula, if it tastes sub-par, then we have to take off points for that. Because a preworkout is no good if you don’t want to drink it. On the other hand, if the formula is just ok, but has great branding and flavors, we might add a few points.

What we care about most is setting you up with a pre-workout that will take your places, over the long haul. So,keep reading because Pre-Workout World has industry statistics on how supplements can benefit you. Additionally, our writers have the details you need to know about pre-workout supplements, exercises, workouts, and also product reviews.

Our Pre-Workout Philosophy

When reviewing pre-workouts here are some of our main criteria:

the core 3 ingredients for a good preworkout are caffeine, citrulline and beta-alanine
there is no one size fits all pre-workout due to different body sizes and tolerances
bigger is not always better. too much caffeine is a net negative for most people
supplementing with citrulline is superior to supplementing directly with arginine
a preworkout needs at least 4g of citrulline to be a clinically effective dose
citrulline malate is only 2/3 citrulline so to hit 4g l-citrulline you need 6g citrulline malate
a preworkout should have some electrolytes
a preworkout should have a focus ingredient like alpha gpc in addition to caffeine
a pre that has a strength ingredient like Creatine and/or Betaine is a bonus
a preworkout that has a mood boost ingredient like rhodiola, l-dopa or kanna is a bonus
it’s almost NEVER a good idea to include multiple stimulants
we do not like proprietary blends where the doses of individual ingredients are hidden
