AN Supps Pre-Workout Comparisons

AN Supps most recent pre-workout powder is their new Essential line of pre-workouts. This line of pre-workouts is a value-driven line for the cost conscious consumer but also does not cut corners on formulation. This is a true 30-serving pre-workout that retails for less than $1 per serving.

AN Supps Essential PRE covers your generic bases when it comes to what you look for in a pre-workout: blood flow, energy, focus and performance.

For blood flow users are going to get 4g of Citrulline Malate which will engage nitric oxide in the body promoting more blood flow to the muscles. This not only gives you the fuller look, but it also aids in performance and recovery.

A unique add to this pre-workout is the 3g of Creatine Monohydrate. This aids in ATP production and overall performance. Studies also indicate that Creatine Monohydrate helps with lean muscle mass, fat reduction and cognitive performance.

Beta-Alanine is used at 2g which aids in muscle endurance. It does so by buffering lactic acid and allows the muscle to work harder without breaking down as fast. 

Cognition is boosted by the addition of 250mg of VitaCholine. This can improve focus, memory, mood and alertness.

Taurine is used at 400mg to help with electrolyte balance in the body which in turn aids in performance output.

Lastly, AN Supps Essential PRE contains a modest 200mg of caffeine making this pre-workout acceptable for the vast majority of consumers.

With key collaboration flavors in Chiquita and a price point of less than $1 a serving this pre-workout is for the value based consumer who wants something that tastes great, is easy on the wallet and will help them accomplish the basic tasks in the gym.

A true non-stimulant caffeine free pre-workout is almost a must for all brands. If you cannot tolerate stimulant like caffeine and others than this zero caffeine pre-workout from AN Supps is for you. Another use occasion of this stimulant free pre-workout from AN Supps is if you are looking to get a performance boost in the evening before bed, but you don’t want stimulants that may keep you up.

AN Supps has both a zero caffeine and a stimulant based version of their Performance Pre-Workout. Both formulas are quite similar with the only difference being the zero caffeine version swaps caffeine for PeakATP.

For blood flow in AN Performance Non-Stimulant Pre-Workout users are going to get 6g of pure L-Citrulline. This will convert to Arginine in the body and trigger the nitric oxide pathway to push more blood into the muscles. This aids in performance and recovery, as well as the fuller look.

A unique ingredient added to both versions of the AN Performance Pre-Workout is Ornithine. Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that will aid users in improving athletic performance by reducing muscular fatigue. This allows you to get more from your workout. Other performance boosting ingredients include Beta-Alanine at 3.2g, Betaine Anhydrous at 2.5g and Taurine at 2g.

Cognition improvement is a part of the Performance Pre-Workout series from AN Supps. Users will get 500mg of Cognizin Choline and 100mg of Neurorush. Both of these ingredients will boost mood, focus, alertness and recall. 

PeakATP is one of the hero ingredients here. Users will get 400mg of PeakATP versus caffeine to improve energy levels. PeakATP has been shown to help improve muscle strength and power, improved blood flow, reduce muscle fatigue and improve overall recovery.

If you are looking for something that will still boost performance in the gym, along with muscle recovery, muscle endurance, improved cognition but wan’t to skip the stimulants, this one is for you!

Basically everything you love about AN Supps Performance Non-Stimulant (Caffeine Free) Pre-Workout you get with the stimulant versions, except you miss PeakATP but get 300mg PurCaf organic caffeine. 

As mentioned above, every single ingredient at the same dosage is included in this version of the pre-workout except PeakATP. PeakATP is replaced with the PurCaf organic caffeine. PurCaf Organic Caffeine has been preferred by users due to it being derived from unroasted coffee beans versus a synthetic version like Caffeine Anhydrous. Some users indicate that they experience less jitters from the PurCaf Organic Caffeine over Caffeine Anhydrous. There is not any validation behind these claims in terms of a clinical study, but we’ve heard users prefer it over Caffeine Anhydrous. 

AN Supps also leans into their flavor collaborations on the stimulant version of their pre-workout offering both Tang and Chiquita flavor systems along with many of their in-house flavors.

If you are someone who “needs” that caffeine to function through the workout and love all the other performance and cognitive ingredients in this version of AN Supps Performance Pre-Workout then this is one for you.

Note: If you are sensitive to caffeine you could also use this pre-workout at 1-scoop and get 150mg PurCaf Organic Caffeine vs the 300mg dosage.

If AN Supps had a high stimulant pre-workout it would be their ABE (All Black Everything) pre-workout. In terms of stimulant content versus some of the higher stimulant pre-workouts on the market today it is not as high, but it is their highest as a brand. It also contains other unique ingredients that the other AN Supps pre-workouts don’t have.

Like the other pre-workouts, ABE pre-workout contains your standard ingredients like Citrulline Malate at 6,000mg, Beta-Alanine at 3,000mg, Tyrosine at 200mg and Taurine at 200mg. Regarding caffeine content, users will get 350mg of caffeine per serving in the form of Caffeine Anhydrous. This makes it 50mg more than the AN Performance line.

Additional ingredients that are unique to ABE pre-workout include Zynamite, Dynamine and Senactiv. These are unique, patent ingredients that will improve your workout.

Zynamite is used at 140mg. It’s promoted as a clean-label substitute for caffeine, offering both cognitive and physical enhancement without the typical stimulant side effects. In addition to the “energy boost” you get from Zynamite, research shows that you also get mood and cognition improvement.

Dynamine is another unique ingredient used at 100mg. Dynamine is similar to caffeine as well boosting your energy levels, but it kicks in after Caffeine Anhydrous to help prolong energy levels but reduce the crash.

Senactiv is used at 50mg. Senactiv has been shown to help improve performance and recovery at the 50mg dosage by regenerating new cells and getting rid of the old ones.

Other ingredients that aid in cognition include 250mg VitaCholine and 90mcg of Huperzine-A. Collectively these work together to boost cognition for a longer period of time. 

If your looking for a slightly harder hitting pre-workout with an elevated experience in cognition the ABE Pre-Workout could be a solid choice for you.
