First, you have no idea what is really in the supplements you buy.
For instance apparently Jack3d was using a synthetic stimulant that causes liver problems. (Article on the class action suit at the end of this article.) You have to be careful. If you buy individual ingredients you can use 3rd party sources to validate the integrity of the product.
Check out this site which tests supplements: https://labdoor.com/review/bulk-supplements-creatine-monohydrate
Second, there are a lot of things in preworkouts that you don’t need.
Supplements are invalidated all the time with recent research.
Third, you’ll save a LOT of money.
Buying the individual ingredients in bulk saves you money over time.
Here’s our suggested preworkout:
- Half dose of protein
- Betaine
- L-Arginine
- L-Carnitine
- Beta Alanine
- Creatine
- BCAA
- Guarana Seed Extract (3 naturally sourced stimulants, including caffeine)
