FAQs

How much caffeine should I use?

Commonly 3–6 mg per kg body mass, 30–60 minutes pre. Start low if new to caffeine.

Do I need beta-alanine every day?

Yes—its benefits come from saturation. Daily 3.2–6.4 g split into smaller doses can reduce tingling.

Is creatine better inside a pre-workout?

Creatine timing is flexible. Take 3–5 g daily (any time). It doesn’t need to be in a pre.

What’s a good stim-free setup?

Citrulline 6–8 g + betaine 2.5 g + taurine 1–2 g, optionally add a nitrate shot 2–3 h pre.

Why avoid proprietary blends?

They hide underdosed ingredients. Choose transparent labels that list exact amounts.
