Not Your Usual Pre-workout
This is not your usual pre-workout.
Most pre-workouts are built around a jolt. Caffeine, a big scoop, a tingle across your face, twenty minutes of feeling enormous, and then an afternoon you have to manage. It works, in the sense that you definitely feel something.
This is built around what's in it.
Seven actives. All of them at doses we print on the front.
Citrulline malate at 3.5g. Creatine monohydrate at 3g. Inositol at 1.8g. Beta-alanine at 1.2g. Acetyl-L-carnitine at 1g. Tyrosine at 400mg. Theanine at 300mg.
There's no proprietary blend hiding the ratios and there's no maltodextrin bulking out the weight. Nothing in there is cheap, and several of them are ingredients most brands leave out precisely because they aren't.
You could make this yourself.
Everything in it is on the panel and none of it is secret. Buy seven ingredients, get a set of scales, work out the ratios, and mix it in your kitchen. That's genuinely how this started.
The reason it stopped being that: you're trusting seven separate sellers on what's actually in the bag. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most commonly adulterated ingredients in the category. Amino acids get cut. Nothing arrives with a certificate of analysis unless you demand one and know how to read it, and by the time you've weighed everything out at six in the morning, twice a day, the effort has outlasted the enthusiasm.
We had it made in a facility that tests what goes in, sealed a measured serve in aluminium, and printed the numbers on the front.
Long names, but worth knowing
Citrulline Malate · 3.5g — Comes from watermelon. Takes a back road into your system that gets more of it where it's going.
Creatine · 3g — The most-studied compound in sports nutrition. Monohydrate, because that's the form the research used.
Inositol · 1.8g — Built into the wall of every cell you have. Almost nobody puts it in a workout formula.
Beta-Alanine · 1.2g — Builds carnosine, your muscle's buffer against the burn. It's also the one responsible for the tingle.
Acetyl L-Carnitine · 1g — The shuttle that carries fat to where it gets burned. Your body keeps 95% of its supply in your heart and skeletal muscle.
L-Tyrosine · 400mg — Discovered in cheese in 1846. The raw material your brain rebuilds focus and drive from.
L-Theanine · 300mg — Found almost nowhere except tea leaves. It's what makes tea feel different from coffee.
The right tool for the job
When to take
Before you train — One sachet in 300ml of cold water.
On rest days — No, this is not an upsell. Creatine and beta-alanine only accumulate if they're topped up, so the days off count too.
The 3pm dip — Tyrosine and theanine without the caffeine, so it doesn't cost you your evening.
Hot days, long sessions and travel — That's the Hydration sachet's job. Real sodium and magnesium glycinate (i.e. the expensive form).
I built this because I couldn't buy it.
I'm Jarman. Years as a chef, then years as a data scientist. When I started taking my exercise seriously I went looking for all the supplements I should be taking to maximise my time at gym.
I read the research and landed on 7 ingredients that had overwhelming scientific evidence proving they worked and were safe to take. Each morning, I would add these carefully measured ingredients to a glass of water and as my energy, strength, endurance, mental clarity, and happiness improved, I thought why isn't this on the market already.
So I did it myself, and this was only the start. Today we have three products - each built from the ground up. Starting with the question "what can I put in my body to be better" and cutting no corners. Every ingredient is there for a reason, every amount on the label.
The chef makes it taste like something you'll actually drink. The data scientist makes sure it earns its place.
