PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS
Pre-workout supplements seem to be a must-have for most people before exercising.

This seems to be a habit, whether it's in the form of certain foods, drinks, or even health supplements.

Consuming them provides our bodies with sufficient energy to perform any exercise.

What is a pre-workout supplement?

It's a supplement commonly consumed before exercising or performing certain physical activities. These supplements are available on the market in various forms, including powders, capsules, and liquids, with the aim of providing energy.

Benefits of pre-workout supplements

Everyone's physical condition and endurance are different. Some people can exercise without eating beforehand.

However, some people feel the need to consume pre-workout food before exercising. They worry about their health being compromised by the enormous calorie burn during exercise. 
 
Here are some of the benefits of consuming pre-workout supplements:

1. Increased Energy

Energy is a source of strength during exercise, and that's no secret. With added energy, our power in various exercise styles can be optimized. 
 
We can imagine that if we exercise while feeling weak due to an empty stomach, our movements could potentially harm ourselves.

2. Focus on your workout more

Exercising in the morning is a popular choice for many people. In such a situation, we're usually still sleepy, so some people choose to drink coffee or tea before continuing their workout.

3. Lose weight

Many women who want a super slim body like to take pre-workout supplements along with their workouts.

Some of these supplements can indeed contribute to weight loss.

4. Increase muscle mass

Athletes involved in bodybuilding believe that pre-workout supplements will increase muscle mass.

There's some truth to this. Here are some brands of supplements that increase muscle mass:
 
a. Legion Pulse
b. Transparent Labs Bulk
c. Pre JYM
d. My Protein the Pre-Workout
e. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard

Side Effects of Using Pre-Workout Supplements

Although they have benefits, on the other hand, these supplements can cause side effects for users, such as:

1. Anxiety

This anxiety is not due to a problem but is caused by consuming supplements with high caffeine content.

Some people's bodies are resistant to too much caffeine. As a result, they experience restlessness, anxiety, and an irregular heartbeat.

2. Pain and tingling

Beta alanine is a supplement that people use to reduce muscle acidity during exercise. As a result, their workouts may be more intense and last longer.

Unfortunately, consuming beta alanine too often can cause discomfort due to nerve damage.

3. Digestive Disorders

Pre-workout supplements typically contain magnesium, creatine, and caffeine, which can potentially disrupt the human digestive system.

If this happens frequently to you, I suggest lowering the supplement dosage.

4. Dizziness and shortness of breath

Other ingredients in this supplement include amino acids or BCAAs, which can increase muscle mass.

However, this is due to a series of metabolic processes in the body, including increased blood circulation. This can sometimes cause uncomfortable side effects such as dizziness and/or shortness of breath.

Health problems like these can occur due to excessive consumption of citrulline in the supplement. Ideally, a daily dose of 6-8 grams is sufficient, and no more.

Here are some brief descriptions of pre-workout supplements. We hope this is helpful.
