Apollon Nutrition Apollon Gym Classic Pre-Workout Supplement Facts

Apollon Nutrition has many different pre-workouts with different angles when it comes to formulation. Some focus on blood flow, some focus on cognition, others focus on energy. The new Apollon Gym Classic Pre-Workout focuses on effectiveness with price in mind. While the other pre-workouts like Bare Knuckle, Hooligan, Desperado have retail price points above $30, the new Apollon Gym Classic Pre-Workout will retail for under $30.

Citrulline – 6,000mg

Citrulline is a staple ingredient in many pre-workouts. The starting dose of Citrulline for effectiveness is 3-5g. Apollon Gym Classic Pre-Workout includes 6g of pure Citrulline. Citrulline works by converting to Arginine in the body after consumption. This then will trigger the nitric oxide pathway and increase nitric oxide production. This then moves more blood into the muscles through more blood flow and widening of the blood vessles.

The larger pump is what a lot of people look for when it comes to Citurlline. The pump is actually reflective of the increased blood flow which is full of nutrients to help repair your muscle fibers after an intense workout.

Beta Alanine – 3,200mg

Beta Alanine is one of the most well studied ingredients in sports and active nutrition. It gets its clout from its ability to cause the tingling and itchyness of the skin. This is called Paresthesia. This, however, is not the benefit from Beta Alanine.

The real benefit of supplementing with Beta Alanine is the fact it can improve muscular endurance and aid in preventing DOMS (delayed on-set muscle soreness) by buffering lactic acid which can cause muscle breakdown, fatigue, failure and soreness.

We are getting the standard acceptable dose of 3.2g Beta-Alanine in this pre-workout.

Betaine Anhydrous – 2,500mg

Betaine Anhydrous is a popular ingredient used in pre-workouts. The common dosage in the market today is 1.25-2.5g.

Tyrosine is an essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. This can lead to help keeping your focus up in the weight room.

The 3,000mg dosage is the same as the current everyday offering.

Himalayan Salt – 500mg

Proper hydration is key to performance and recovery. Apollon Gym Classic Pre-Workout uses 500mg of Himalayan Salt to help with proper cellular hydration. Proper salt in the system can also aid with muscle contractions and recovery. The 500mg dosage is sufficient. 

Caffeine Anhydrous – 300mg

Caffeine is an anti-fatigue ingredient that may give users a sense of increased energy. The 300mg dosage of caffeine used here in the anhydrous form (fast acting) is sufficient and should start to kick in about 10-15 minutes after consumption.
