PEScience Prolific is a high-stimulant pre-workout featuring effective doses of L-Citrulline and cognitive enhancers for comprehensive workout support, but it's on the pricier side.
Flavour: Sour Green Apple
This pre-workout formula provides a potent 320mg of caffeine from two sources (Infinergy and Anhydrous) for immediate and sustained energy. The 6g of L-Citrulline is an excellent dose for nitric oxide production, leading to improved blood flow and muscle pumps. Nootropic ingredients like L-Theanine (to smooth out caffeine effects), Cognizin Citicoline (for focus), and NeuroFactor (for brain health) are well-dosed to enhance mental acuity during training. Betaine Anhydrous supports power output, and Taurine contributes to hydration and muscle function. The blend is comprehensive for fitness goals, making it a strong contender for those seeking an all-in-one pre-workout. The high caffeine dose is a significant factor to consider for user tolerance.
- Provides a high and effective dose of L-Citrulline (6g) for excellent muscle pumps and endurance during workouts.
- Includes a comprehensive nootropic blend with L-Theanine, Cognizin Citicoline, and NeuroFactor to enhance mental focus and reduce caffeine-related jitters.
- Combines two forms of caffeine for a potentially smoother and more sustained energy release, suitable for intense training sessions.
- The 320mg caffeine content is very high and may be too potent for individuals with low caffeine tolerance or those who train later in the day, potentially leading to sleep disturbances.
- The price per serving ($0.99) is relatively high compared to many other pre-workouts on the market, which might be a barrier for budget-conscious consumers.
- High caffeine content (320mg) can cause significant jitters, anxiety, rapid heart rate, and severe sleep disruption, especially if taken by individuals sensitive to stimulants or close to bedtime.
- Individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or high blood pressure should consult a healthcare professional before using due to the high stimulant load.
