In this post, we’re tackling a pre workout that’s rising in popularity, Wrecked Pre Workout. This review will go through the ingredients, what you could expect, and compare Wrecked to other popular pre workouts. <\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note this review is of the newest Wrecked Pre Workout formula available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Wrecked Pre Workout?<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

As the name suggests, Wrecked is a pre workout supplements. Pre workouts are supplements formulated for enhancing your workout performance. Often this means increasing energy, supporting blood flow and hydration, boosting focus, and promoting nitric oxide production.\u2020 <\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise Wrecked Pre Workout features ingredients to address each of these factors along with ingredients that can support boosting mood, improve metabolism, and maintain electrolytes.\u2020 This pre workout is manufactured by Huge Supplements and is currently retailing for around ~$50USD. In comparison to other popular pre workout, this pre workout is definitely more expensive than what we like to see. In addition to the cost, Wrecked Pre Workout only features 20 servings per tub, which come down to about $2.50 per serving.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrecked Pre Workout Ingredients:<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Although the servings per container and cost of Wrecked Pre Workout don’t meet our preferences, its what’s on the inside that matters most. In this section, we’re briefly discuss each of the ingredients, the dosages, and what role they can play in your gym hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Wrecked<\/span><\/p>\n

Each serving of Wrecked Pre Workout (one scoop) features 17 ingredients for a total of around 30 grams of active ingredients. If you’re thinking that sounds like a lot, it is. This pre workout isn’t one to try dry-scooping with.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Himalayan Pink Salt:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our first ingredient is Himalayan Pink Salt. Salt or sodium is a major component in electrolytes, which are lost through processes like sweating. So, it\u2019s possible that including salt to the formula may aid in rehydration and help prevent muscle cramping. However, its not studies assessing various forms of sodium typically use dosages between .2 to .7 grams. Therefore at a dosage of just under .2 grams, there may not be a significant impact on your workout from this ingredient. (1<\/a>,2<\/a>,3<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

L-Citrulline:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our next ingredient is very popular in pre workouts and for good reason. L-Citrulline is an amino acid and precursor for another amino acid, L-Arginine. Where L-Arginine is the primary substrate for nitric oxide biosynthesis. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a major role in exercise performance, is an important modulator for blood flow, and essential for mitochondrial respiration. By supplementing L-Citrulline, the body can perform a complex enzymatic reaction and produce NO. This can result in improving blood flow, cognitive function, and high-intensity exercise performance. Generally, research on L-Citrulline uses dosages between 3-6 grams. But, taking more than 6 grams may help promote oxygen content in muscles. In Wrecked Pre Workout, there are 8 grams of L-Citrulline. (4<\/a>,5<\/a>,6<\/a>,7<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Hydromax\u2122:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Next, we have HydroMax\u2122 or glycerol powder. This ingredient is a popular for pre workouts for its effect on aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance. Glycerol has several performance enhancing qualities. For starters, it can be used as an energy substrate, which contributes to the energy yield during exercise. Next, it has osmosis-protective properties, which can help delay muscular fatigue. Lastly, when consumed with sufficient water, glycerol can play a role in maintaining hydration and thermoregulation. (8<\/a>) Generally, a dose between 2-5 grams is efficient for this ingredient. However, it’s important to note that this ingredient can cause pre workout powders to clump\/harden. Therefore, you’ll want to store this product in a cool and dry place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Beta Alanine:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Following HydroMax\u2122 on the label is beta alanine, which is one of the most popular ingredients in pre workouts. This ingredient is infamous for causing an itchy-tingling sensation with pre workouts (paranesthesia). The clinical dose range for beta alanine is 2-5 grams, so a dosage of 3.5 grams per scoop may be intense for individuals who don\u2019t like that sensation. (9<\/a>) However, this is an optimal dosage for beta alanine\u2019s effects. This ingredient can help reduce muscle fatigue and improve work capacity by increasing carnosine levels. Carnosine can act as a buffer against muscle acidosis. This action reduces muscle acidity (the burn) during high-intensity exercises, which can help you push further. (10<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Betaine Anhydrous:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Following beta alanine on the label is another endurance aid, betaine, which is set to 3 grams per scoop. Generally, a dosage between 2.5-6 grams is effective. Betaine may support increases in work capacity and power output (though not strength) as well as body composition and reduce fat mass. (11<\/a>,12<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Malic Acid:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The next ingredient, malic acid, naturally occurs in fruits and vegetables, like apples. This ingredient may help promote energy production in itself. But, is often used with supplements to improve absorption of ingredients (shown as \u201cMalate\u201d)\u2020. There is currently no standard dose of malic acid. (13<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Agmatine Sulfate:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Agmatine is a metabolite of to arginine that acts similar to betaine. Current research suggests it may promote nitric oxide (NO) synthesis better than arginine, as well as properly regulate cellular energy. This makes agmatine sulfate a popular pump-inducing ingredient, but further research is necessary. (14<\/a>,15<\/a>) Agmatine Sulfate is typically dosed between 500 to 1,000 mg for exercise performance. There currently isn’t evidence that dosages over 1 gram will be any more efficient or beneficial. So a dose of 1.5 grams as seen in Wrecked Pre Workout meets the standard dosing, but this may also contribute the potential clumping effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

L-Tyrosine:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our next ingredient, L-tyrosine, is our first cognition-boosting ingredient. L-tyrosine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in the body. It\u2019s essential for the production of several neurotransmitters; including Dopamine, and hormones; including thyroid hormones. However, increasing your body\u2019s L-tyrosine levels doesn\u2019t necessarily translate to increasing these compounds. Supplementing with L-tyrosine can support boosting alertness, attention, and focus. Tyrosine is commonly taken in doses of 500\u20132,000mg, so a dosage of 1.5 grams per serving may be sufficient for these properties. (16<\/a>,17<\/a>,18<\/a>,19<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Alpha GPC:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Following tyrosine is another focus ingredient, Alpha GPC. Normally, the dosage of this ingredient is between 300-600mg, which is seen in Wrecked Pre Workout. (20<\/a>)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lion\u2019s Mane Mushroom Powder:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our third cognitive boosting ingredient is Lion\u2019s Mane Extract, which may have neuroprotective properties. Additionally, studies show it may improve mental clarity and functioning. While animal studies show it may be beneficial in preventing neuronal damage. (21<\/a>,22<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Caffeine Anhydrous:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Now, we have the first stimulant in Wrecked Pre Workout, Caffeine. Caffeine is one of the most popular stimulants available. This Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant can help promote energy, focus, and mood and even support weight loss. (23<\/a>) But, it\u2019s important to understand where you fall in line with your tolerance to Caffeine to avoid negative side effects like jitteriness. (24)<\/a> In Wrecked Pre Workout, there are 250mg of Caffeine. This dose is equivalent to almost 3 cups of coffee per scoop. If you’re sensitive to Caffeine, you’ll want to start off with a half of the serving.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Eria Jarensis Extract (N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine):<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine is our next ingredient and it’s the compound name for a plant extract we see often in fat burners, Eria Jarensis. This is compound has grown a reputation for its euphoric effects. There isn\u2019t a lot of research done on this ingredient and its effectiveness for exercise performance or energy. However, we often see it dosed between 50mg to 300mg.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Theobromine:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Following Eria Jarensis is a stimulant similar to caffeine, Theobromine. Theobromine is an alkaloid of Theobroma cacao and serves medicinal purposes as a bronchodilator and vasodilator. Although it has practically no stimulatory effects on the central nervous system, like Caffeine, it may have stimulatory effects on smooth muscle, which contributes to its effects as a vasodilator. (25<\/a>) Studies utilize a range of doses for theobromine, often between 250mg-1000mg. (26<\/a>) Here in Wrecked Pre Workout, the dosage is featured at 150mg per scoop.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Di-Caffeine Malate:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Next, we have Di-Caffeine Malate. This ingredient aims to extend energy-boosting properties and reduce the risk of crashing. But, the research on this ingredient is limited.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

S7\u2122:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Next, we have S7\u2122, which features a blend of 7 plants at 75mg per scoop:<\/span><\/p>\n
