Pre Men
1UP Nutrition
Overview
1UP Nutrition Pre Men combines several well-established pre-workout ingredients such as Citrulline and Beta Alanine, alongside a blend of energy and focus enhancers. The Citrulline and Beta Alanine are dosed effectively to support pump and endurance. The dual-source caffeine mix delivers a significant energy boost, and Nitrosigine may contribute to enhanced blood flow. However, the proprietary 'Energy, Focus, & Mood Complex' limits a full assessment of its efficacy.
The Good
Citrulline is dosed at 6g, which is within the effective range for nitric oxide production and vasodilation.
Beta-Alanine is dosed at 3.2g, which sits within the clinically effective range for improving muscular endurance.
Nitrosigine is included, which may enhance nitric oxide production and blood flow via a different mechanism.
The Bad
High caffeine content may cause anxiety, jitteriness, and insomnia in sensitive individuals.
Potential for interactions with prescription drugs and other supplements.
May contain ingredients banned by certain organizations, posing a risk for tested athletes.
