But if you look at any serious athlete or bodybuilder’s supplement shelf, you’ll probably notice that creatine is found on its own as pure creatine monohydrate. Creatine helps you gain lean muscle. Creatine can raise IGF-1 levels, which is a hormone that encourages an increase in muscle mass. Creatine works to maximize your strength, power, and exercise performance as it supports your body in generating more ATP (the energy currency of all cells). But if you’re taking a pre-workout that’s loaded with stimulants—caffeine, green tea extract, green coffee bean, etc.—it’s best to separate your creatine supplementation because it may not actually be as effective as you want.Creatine—We’ll talk more about creatine below, but it’s a common ingredient in pre-workout supplements because of its ability to increase intramuscular phosphocreatine levels, which ultimately enhances physical performance by boosting available ATP and improving muscle morphology.

The main side effects of creatine are nausea and diarrhea if too high of a dose is taken at one time. While it's great to see Citrulline Nitrate in the mix, having malic acid separate instead of citrulline malate would give this mix an even higher effectiveness. Pre Kaged has done a great job trying to create natural pre workout supplements with creatine by sourcing their ingredients from fermented sources rather than lab created additions. If you are set on taking your workouts to the next level, then finding the right pre-workout should be pretty high on your list.

We have to stop thinking about nutrition as something that comes in a tub and start looking at our body’s natural fuel: food.
