saltysteve 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2018 Hey all, Just wanted to know how much caffeine you'd use as a pre or even post workout. Basically I've been making chewy caffeine + l-theanine candies for focus at work but I've had some feedback that people might like them for exercise. They are however only 20mg each and from what I read 150mg of caffeine is closer to a reasonable dose. Has anyone experimented with smaller doses of caffeine? would a couple of candies have any real effect? I suppose the glucose would help with energy anyway, interested to hear your thoughts. P.S. Candies above are 'pina colada ' flavor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valentin01 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 Preworkouts do contain other beneficial ingredients that will help with endurance, pump, and focus. Many of them do contain creatine that doesn't really have to be used preworkout. If one doesn't a tub can be picked up for cheap with. I don't pay for preworkouts anymore but felt they are worth it when I did. We have a buy 2 for $40 deal on VaporX5 going on now. The link is in my signature if you are interested.

cdqui 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2020 the suggested dosage is 3-6mg/kg around 60 minutes before exercise, OR a smaller dose (<3mg/kg - about 200 mg) taken with a carb source before or during exercise for similar benefit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gymelle 1 Report post Posted January 12 The recommended dose varies by body weight, but is typically about 200–400 mg, taken 30–60 minutes before a workout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
