AN Performance Pre-Workout: A Pre-Workout for a Variety of Occasions

AN Performance Preworkout Supplement Facts

AN Performance’s stimulant based pre-workout was formulated with performance and cognition in mind, pun intended. A uniquely different formula with an emphasis on cognition and anti-fatigue, AN Performance stimulant based pre-workout was designed for athletes and the masses. It is important to note that this is a 30/15 serving pre-workout. If you want or need a little extra push, you can double scoop for 2-servings doubling the dosing we discuss below.

Citrulline – 3g

Citrulline is one of the most common blood flow agents found in the pre-workout category. Citrulline is a precursor to Arginine. When you consume Citrulline supplements the body converts the Citrulline to Arginine. This then triggers the nitric oxide pathway to produce more nitric oxide which then, in turn, improves blood flow and relaxes the blood vessels. This pushes more blood into the muscles to aid with the pump, but also to help bring nutrient rich blood for repair and recovery.

Citrulline as also been shown to positively impact cardiovascular health. By increasing nitric oxide levels, Citrulline supports better oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles during exercise, reducing cardiovascular strain.

The preferred dosage of Citrulline is 3-5g. Users will get 3g of Citrulline per serving in AN Performance pre-workout. If you use two servings you will get 6g.

Ornithine – 2g

Ornithine may very well be the hero ingredient in AN Performance pre-workout. It is an ingredient that is used time to time but we don’t see an over abundance of Ornithine in supplements.

Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that will aid users in improving athletic performance by reducing muscular fatigue. It does this by removing ammonia buildup during exercise. Ornithine helps convert ammonia into urea (a chemical compound with many uses, including as a waste product in the body), facilitating its excretion. This may delay fatigue during prolonged exercise.

In addition, Ornithine has been shown to reduce muscle soreness and support recovery by improving nitrogen metabolism and reducing the buildup of fatigue-inducing metabolites.

Ideally users want at least 2g a day if you participate in weight training to be beneficial. AN Performance gives us 2g. If you use two servings you will get 4g.

Beta-Alanine – 1.6g

Beta-Alanine is a very common ingredient used in pre-workout powders to help aid in muscular endurance. Beta-Alanine has been shown to help reduce lactic acid thus allowing your muscles to work for longer periods of time before fatigue. This also aids in reducing muscle sorness.

Typically you see 3.2g in a pre-workout. The fact that AN Performance also includes Ornithine at a large dosage may allow users to take less Beta-Alanine to be effective. If you use two servings you will get 3.2g.

Betaine Anhydrous – 1.25g

Betaine Anhydrous has been shown to improve overall performance output, strength and power. Betaine may also aid in muscle recovery. Per one serving you will get 1.25g, which is the minimum dosage recommended. If you take two servings you will get 2.5g.

Taurine – 1g

Taurine has multiple benefits in a pre-workout powder. The first is that Taurine could potentially counteract side effects of stimulants like caffeine. Some users of caffeine experience jitters and increased heart rate. Taurine may help reduce or alleviate those effects.

Taurine also aids in performance output by regulating electrolytes in your body. Ensuring your body is properly hydrated with electrolytes and the addition of Taurine may improve performance.

The 1g dosage is sufficient. If you use two servings you will get 2g.

Tyrosine – 750mg

Tyrosine has ben shown to help improve cognition. Users experience improved memory and focus, as well as elevated mood, when supplementing with Tyrosine. Tyrosine dosages range from 750mg-2,000mg. We get 750mg in AN Performance Pre-Workout. If you use two servings you will get 1.5g.

Cognizin Citicoline – 250mg

Cognizin has quickly become a preferred choice of Citocoline by many brands. Cognizin Citicoline is a branded version of Citicoline that has been proven to offer support for productivity by sustaining focus, attention, and memory in healthy adults. Citicoline contributes to the maintenance of healthy brain cells therefore leading to improved cognition and a healthy brain. The 250mg is the acceptable dosage of Cognizin Citicoline.  If you use two servings you will get 500mg.

PurCaf Caffeine – 150mg

PurCaf is a natural, organic version of caffeine. Some users indicate they have better experience with natural caffeine versus caffeine anhydrous. PurCaf will aid in reducing fatigue allowing you to have higher energy levels during your workout. Users will get 150mg per serving or 300mg with two servings.

Sea Salt – 78mg

Salts pre-workout just make sense. You deplete salt when you exercise. The 78mg dosage is not significant, but it will help improve your salt stores and with the addition of Taurine users can experience better hydration and better endurance.

NeuroRush – 50mg

NeuroRush, a natural Coffea Arabica Extract. This is going to be similar to an ingredient known as CognatiQ/NeuroFactor. NeuroRush supports enhanced cognitive function, mood and vitality. This may be the alternative to CognatiQ/NeuroFactor as supplement formulators are looking at new, novel ingredients.

NeuroRush will aid in improving focus, alertness and memory.

Dosing on NeuroRush is 50-100mg per serving. With one serving of AN Performance Pre-Workout you get 50mg, with two servings you get 100mg.
