L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. When paired with caffeine, it seems to create a synergistic effect that provides a number of special benefits.

One of the primary benefits of L-theanine is that it can help counteract the negative effects of caffeine.^[4] By pairing caffeine with L-theanine, it creates a more balanced boost of energy but without the jitteriness and anxiety that typically comes after.

Another benefit of L-theanine when paired with caffeine is that it can help to improve cognitive performance, attention, and focus.^[5] Studies have shown that when L-theanine is combined with caffeine, it can improve various aspects of cognitive function, including memory, reaction time, and accuracy. This can help with providing you with razor sharp focus in the gym and to help with your mind-muscle connection with your muscles.

L-theanine may also help to improve physical performance when paired with caffeine. Caffeine is well-known for its ability to improve athletic performance, but it can also cause dehydration and increased heart rate. L-theanine can help to mitigate these side effects of caffeine, allowing you to enjoy the performance-enhancing effects of caffeine without the negative effects.

As for dosing, a 2:1 ratio of L-theanine to caffeine is typically what’s been shown to be most effective to create the synergistic effect we’re after.^[6] This is why we included 180mg of caffeine, and 360mg of L-theanine into our Beyond Pure PRE.

Citrulline malate is a powerful pre-workout ingredient that can help you take your workouts to the next level.

The main benefit of citrulline malate is its ability to increase blood flow and improve circulation by relaxing your blood vessels.^[7] By increasing blood flow, citrulline malate can help to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which can help boost your workout performance and the “pump” you get in your muscles.

Citrulline malate may also help directly with reducing muscle fatigue and improving muscle recovery.^[8] Leading to better workout performance and faster recovery.^[9]

However, not all citrulline malate is created equally. We not only chose the best absorbing type of citrulline malate, but we also used a 2:1 ratio of citrulline to malate because it’s typically what’s been shown to be most effective.^[10]

As for dosing, research generally suggests that a 6 gram serving is needed to provide the full benefit. That’s why we chose to add the full 6 grams into each scoop of our Beyond Pure PRE.

Taurine is an amino acid naturally found in the body, but delivers several benefits when supplemented. One of the key benefits of taurine is its potential to improve workout endurance and reduce fatigue.^[11]

However, its benefits may also extend beyond that as a blood flow promoter. This can enhance the boost in blood flow and nutrient delivery you already get from the Citrulline Malate 2:1 we added into Beyond Pure PRE.

Lastly, Taurine may also help to reduce muscle soreness after a workout.^[12] Because of these potential benefits, we felt it was worth adding into Beyond Pure PRE. As for dosing, typically a serving size of at least 1 gram is recommended to provide the full benefits. We include 1.3 grams into every serving of Beyond Pure PRE.

Do you know how much salt you need to function properly during your workouts? Most people don't, but it's an important component of your pre-workout nutrition.

That's why we include 500mg of Himalayan salt in each serving of Beyond Pure PRE. Himalayan salt is the purest form of salt you can find and is packed with essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Consuming it before your workout can help improve your blood flow and muscle function, giving you the energy and endurance you need to crush your workouts.^[13]

Plus, it's naturally sourced from Khewra Salt mines in the Himalayas, so you can feel good about what you're putting in your body. After taking Beyond Pure PRE, you’ll feel the difference right away.
