Platinum Pre Workout: Boost Your Performance to the Next Level

Introduction

Platinum Pre-Workout™ is a premium supplement designed to enhance athletic performance and optimise even the toughest sessions. With a blend of carefully selected ingredients, it promises to intensify energy and focus needed to maximise your training efforts, whether on the track, field or in the gym.

Understanding the Ingredients

This advanced pre-workout formula has been formulated to contain higher doses of key scientifically backed ingredients, such as, caffeine, beta-alanine, l-leucine, and l-citrulline plus a combination of amino acids and vitamins. These ingredients work together to support various aspects of performance, including energy production, muscle endurance, and mental focus. Let’s take a more in-depth look at these key ingredients.

1. Caffeine, acts as a central nervous system stimulant by blocking adenosine receptors3, which promotes sleep and relaxation. This inhibition of adenosine attachment leads to increased alertness and reduced fatigue. Its ability to enhance performance is well-documented across various sports disciplines3. Studies have shown caffeine’s effectiveness in improving endurance performance by 2-4%3,4, as well as enhancing muscular strength5 and specific performance measures such as jump height in basketball6 and passing accuracy in soccer7.The caffeine content in pre-workout supplements is carefully calibrated to enhance athletic performance, providing a more potent boost compared to regular coffee. Platinum Pre-Workout™ contains 200 mg of caffeine per serving and is our highest dosed pre-workout, ensuring your focus* is intensified for each training session. It is important to be mindful of the caffeine you consume from both drinks and supplements as the World Health Organisation does not recommend consuming more than 400mg of caffeine daily.

2. L-Citrulline, is a naturally occurring amino acid found abundantly in the body and in certain fruits like watermelon and citrus fruits. Its performance benefits stem from its conversion into arginine, another amino acid. Research indicates that arginine supplementation can support nitric oxide production, potentially leading to increased blood flow to muscles and improved muscle function, especially during high-intensity exercises lasting less than a minute1. However, a large amount of dietary L-arginine is used up by the liver which prevents the concentration of arginine in the blood from reaching significant levels to induce a ‘pump’. An alternative, and popular nutritional strategy is to supplement with L-citrulline, which is then converted to L-arginine in the body. Therefore, Platinum Pre-Workout™ contains a substantial 6g of L-citrulline, as studies suggest that supplementing with 6-8g before workouts can enhance performance1, 2.

3. Beta-alanine, a non-essential amino acid, is naturally produced in the body and is also present in foods such as meat, poultry, and fish. It serves as a precursor to carnosine, a compound that support muscles in managing acid buildup during high intensity training. By providing this additional support to muscles, beta-alanine helps delay the onset of fatigue experienced during intense workouts, enabling you to exert yourself more intensely and for longer durations8. This translates to sustained high levels of performance over extended periods, resulting in benefits such as reduced fatigue during exercises lasting between 1 to 4 minutes8. Additionally, research indicates that beta-alanine supplementation can enhance sprinting and power output during brief bursts of activity, whether you’re engaged in sports like rugby, track events, or high-intensity interval training8. With each serving of Platinum Pre-Workout™, containing 3.2g of beta-alanine, we assure you that this supplement will elevate your training sessions to new levels.

4. L-leucine. a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), is a key player in muscle protein synthesis (MPS). It is the switch to accelerate MPS and works together with other amino acids to promote muscle repair and growth over time with the appropriate training programme9. Platinum Pre-workout™ contains 3g of leucine, the optimal amount of leucine to support muscle goals.

Benefits of Platinum Pre-Workout™

1. Enhanced Focus and Alertness*

Platinum Pre-workout™ contains 200 mg of caffeine from natural sources to increase your focus, giving you an intense boost every time you train.

2. Increased Energy**

The combination of high dose ingredients including a blend of B-vitamins will support your energy during workouts, allowing you to unlock more and push through intense training sessions.

Who Should Use Platinum Pre-workout™

Platinum Pre-workout™ is ideal for a wide range of individuals, including athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to unlock more focus* and energy** for their training. Whether you train on the track, field or in the gym, this supplement can help take your performance to the next level.

When to Use Platinum Pre-workout™

For best results, take Platinum Pre-workout™ approximately 15-30 minutes before your workout or training session. This allows the ingredients to be absorbed and begin working when you need them most.

How to Use Platinum Pre-workout™

Mix three scoops of Platinum Pre-workout with 400ml of water and consume it before exercising. Start with a half serving to assess tolerance, especially if you’re sensitive to stimulants.

Safety Considerations

While Platinum Pre-workout is generally safe for most individuals, it’s essential to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and avoid exceeding the recommended daily intake. Additionally, consult with a healthcare professional before use if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medication.

Conclusion

Platinum Pre-workout™ is a top-tier supplement for anyone looking to optimise their workout performance. With its scientifically backed ingredients and proven benefits, it’s a valuable addition to any fitness regimen. Whether you’re a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, this advanced pre-workout formula can help you unlock more when you need it most.

* Caffeine contributes to increased alertness and improved concentration

** Niacin, Vitamin B6 & B12 contribute to energy yielding metabolism.
