Pre Workout
Pre Workout Supplements are commonly presented & sold as Formulated Supplementary Sports Foods in New Zealand – Originally known as Nitric Oxide (NO) supplements, Pre-Workout products function primarily to help to vasodilate blood vessels as a way of improving nutrient and oxygen supply to working muscles. This can help to stimulate muscle hardness and to help increase the ‘pump’ whilst training. As this supplement category began to get popular, Pre-Workout supplements slowly began using other stimulating and mood enhancing ingredients to help improve focus, drive, energy and intensity for workouts and training sessions.
Nitric oxide is a gas produced in the body which has a variety of crucial functions in the body, one of which is cell communications. Produced in the body using the amino acid L-Arginine and involving the amino acid L-Citrulline, nitric oxide offers a variety of beneficial effects for the trainer as well as for the everyday person. Its ability to help increase blood flow is a basis for the compounds main role in helping to support blood pressure regulation. Increased blood flow is great for bodybuilders as it means increased oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other compounds useful for muscle strength, power, repair and recovery. Nitric oxide supplements also play a role in helping to release adrenaline from the adrenal medulla, offering a more powerful training session.
Nitric oxide also helps to reduce inflammation of muscles and with post-workout stress. A person using nitric oxide based supplement can expect increased strength, power, endurance and muscle size with better recovery and enhanced fat oxidation. Besides its ability to affect muscular adaptations and exercise performance, its ability to relax blood vessels means healthier blood pressure, which takes pressure off the heart. Stronger and more fluid blood flow also means the prevention of blood clots. Medications such as nitroglycerine which aim to increase nitric oxide in the body are used by people suffering cardiovascular problems. Nitric oxide helps to reduce plaque from blood vessel walls, which when built up can cause issues of poor blood flow. The compound nitric oxide is also important for kidney function as increased blood flow through the kidneys results in faster urine formation. The increased blood flow from nitric oxide is also of benefit to males due to its connection with erections. The development of Viagra is based on studies looking at the connection between nitric oxide and erections. Other important organs such as the brain, stomach, lungs and liver as well as the immune and digestive systems can also benefit from nitric oxide. Nitric supplements often contain the amino acid L-arginine, which in large doses can result in nausea and fatigue, so it is best to start off with small doses if you’re new to this range of supplements.
The other main group of ingredients used in many pre-workout formulations belong to the stimulant range and can include such ingredients as caffeine and guarana. While they have been shown to help increase energy, focus, attention and performance, it is important to use them at lower doses in the beginning to access tolerance. Besides nitric oxide enhancers and stimulants, pre-workout supplements also contain ingredients to help with mental performance known as nootropics such as
What else do pre workout supplements contain - To train well it helps to feel well & so modern day pre workout supplements may contain feel good nootropic ingredients DMAE (dimethlaminoethanol), Bacopa Monniera (bacioasudes A & B), B-Phenylethylamine (B-PEA), Xanthonol Nicotinate or Huperzine A. Pre-workout supplements stack well with many other supplements, especially protein, post-workout products as well as testosterone boosters and recovery products such as creatine, BCAAs and glutamine. In essence, taking the right pre-workout formulation can dramatically improve your performance in the gym or out on the field and can potentially help you achieve quick and positive results. It can also help boost the ‘pump’ that you get and prolong that engorged, rock hard feeling in the muscles for a longer period of time. While the effects vary from person to person, you can be sure to expect a difference with pre-workout supplements.
Pre-workout supplements are not a sole source of nutrition and should be used in conjunction with an appropriate physical training or exercise programme. Not suitable for children under 15 years or pregnant women. Should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision.
