Pre-shot was born out of frustration. Frustration that the current pre-workout market is focused on performance at the expense of taste and side effects. If you’ve had pre workout, you’ll likely have experienced the tingling and jitters. Not enjoyable. This focus on a purely physical response ignores the mental aspect of performance. Mental clarity, that feeling of being dialled in and ‘in the zone’, is just as important when it comes to setting a new PB. Being able to focus on the task at hand and eliminate distractions maximises performance. As a result, the team developed Pre-shot to be an effective pre workout; targeting focus, fatigue and energy. Whilst ensuring it was still convenient and doesn't sacrifice on taste.The team behind Pre-shot believe workouts should be hard, pre-workout shouldn't be.
PRE-SHOT INGREDIENTS
Pre-shot contains a mix of scientifically studied active ingredients that have been shown to improve athletic performance. Beta-alanine and caffeine are key components in pre-workouts, Pre-shot have combined with beetroot extract and arginine to increase nitric oxide. Nutrient-rich mushroom blend contains adaptogens specifically selected to improve performance. A daily dose of B vitamins essential for energy production at a cellular level.
- Beta Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that is produced naturally in the body, it aids the production of carnosine, which is a compound that plays a key role in muscle endurance in high-intensity exercise. Carnosine acts as a buffer and reduces the level of acid present in muscles, therefore helping reduce muscle fatigue.
- Caffeine: Caffeine increases mental alertness and physical energy. It blocks the receptors of a neurotransmitter called adenosine, and increases the level of other neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate energy levels. Reducing the feeling of tiredness and drowsiness, temporarily lifting fatigue and increasing alertness.
- Beetroot Extract: A nitrate rich ingredient, this is converted to nitric oxide which supports physical performance through vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and muscle contractility (increase in the force of contraction). A key effect of dietary nitrate is that it reduces the oxygen demand of exercise, meaning the muscles need less oxygen to maintain a given work rate, thereby improving exercise efficiency, fatigue resistance and exercise performance.
- Arginine: Supports the production of nitric oxide, it expands the blood vessels by relaxing the muscles of their walls. Resulting in lowered blood pressure and increased blood flow to the muscles during your workout.
- Mushrooms: Pre-shot’s unique mushroom complex contains adaptogens specifically selected to improve performance. Pre-shot uses extracts that are highly concentrated, so you only get the most nutritious parts of the mushroom, and do not have to compromise on the earthy flavour. New research is continuously being published showing the vast range of benefits of mushrooms.
- Vitamin B: B vitamins are essential for energy production at a cellular level. They do not directly provide the body with fuel energy, but play a key role in the complex biochemical process that breaks glucose into ATP, releasing energy from the food we consume.
