Pre-Workout Comparison

 The pre-workout category of sports supplements is one where you will find a HUGE difference of opinion among people - and also the most difficult to say for sure what is 'working' and what is the placebo effect, where people will convince themselves that they had a good workout because their favourite star was in the advert for the product!

With that in mind, and knowing that most pre-workout supplements use proprietary blends we have compiled as good a comparison table as we feel is possible from those that do list their ingredients. We haven't included every ingredient that a product may contain if there is an unknown amount of it as a question mark next to an ingredient doesn't really help anyone when choosing. Because of this please be aware that this table is NOT complete and those products that use proprietary blends will have more in them than is listed below.

To avoid making the table too cluttered I have omitted including the electrolyte blends found in each product - please click the product name for a full account of the ingredients in the nutritional information table. Additionally the measurements shown next to the product name are the recommended serving sizes.
