Today, a lot of athletes and people who enjoy being fit are always looking for a competitive advantage. When looking for a competitive advantage, most people will go to GNC to purchase supplements to help increase their productivity or results in the gym.
The truth about pre-workout supplements
With a lot of people taking pre-workouts nowadays, the reality remains that most are unaware of what exactly is in their pre-workout. At Skinny & Co., we believe that people should be more informed of what they are putting into their bodies, as well as healthy alternatives that exist.
Common ingredients found in pre-workouts
- Caffeine, >300 mg (for reference, coffee contains 65-100 mg)
- Arginine
- Niacin, >40 mg, 200 percent (AMP brand)
- Thiamine, >9,000 percent(1.M.R. brand)
- Vitamin B-6, B-12, >16,000 percent (Animal Rage brand)
- Creatine, 5-10 g
- Beta-Alanine
A natural pre-workout alternative
If you don’t know or understand all the ingredients in your pre-workout, it might be time you seek a more natural alternative. What do we suggest? Skinny Coconut Oil, of course.
