Whether you like to cycle caffeine, or just prefer to lift without it, non-stimulant supplements like PreWOD (NS) are a great way to maintain an elite level of performance without harsh central nervous system stimulants.

With extra B vitamins, this is also designed to provide a natural energy boost. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

It was nice to see that the beta alanine is effectively dosed at a full 3.2 g per serving. This is going to help prevent muscle fatigue and delay the time it takes to feel the burning sensation in your muscles during your workout.

To help with muscle pumps you’re going to get beet root and agmatine sulfate. These are vasodilators which increase nitric oxide production, delivering more oxygen and blood to muscles for better strength, growth, and recovery.

To further help with strength there’s creatine monohydrate, and taurine and l-tyrosine to boost cell volumization and protein synthesis.

The first thing worth mentioning is the paresthesia you’re going to feel from the beta alanine. This is an uncomfortable skin tingling that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. It’s something that you’ll get used to, so don’t be afraid the first time you try it.

I also felt like I had more strength and endurance during my workouts, and was able to maintain really good muscle pumps. I’ve had several non-stimulant pre-workouts over the years, and this is definitely one of the better ones I’ve tried.

On paper, the ingredient dosages are certainly effective, and it showed during my workout, translating to noticeably better performance.

Price, Availability, Taste

All major online retailers are currently selling a 20 serving container in between $32.99-39.99. On the lower end, this breaks down to about $1.60 per serving, which is affordable for an effectively dosed product.

The only flavor right now is fruit punch, and I can’t say I was a big fan. It’s okay tasting and I was able to drink it just fine, but I’ve had too many fruit punch flavored supplements over the years for any of them to taste good anymore.

If you’re looking for an effectively dosed non-stimulant pre-workout, I would certainly suggest starting with PreWOD (NS). It has a transparent ingredient label, effectively dosed ingredients, and is affordable.
