A Pre-workout protein is a quick release protein that may contain some additional workout improving workouts such as creatine, l-carnitine, added amino acids, or maybe even a bit of caffeine.
These types of proteins are awesome for using before a workout, activity, or competition. They give the body an easily absorbable form of protein so it can use the amino acids to protect the muscles from being stripped for energy use.
The added ingredients such as creatine, caffeine, or l-carnitine are excellent for giving the muscles that added energy boost. Creatine gives the muscles additional ATP (short burst energy) to help increase the amount of repetitions you can perform in a given set. Caffeine and L-Carnitine give the body more endurance by incorporating more fat for energy.
Not every pre-workout protein uses the same formula so be sure to check out each one and see which one fits your needs and goals.
Mixing a pre-workout protein with a quick-absorbing carbohydrate such as Waxy Maize Starch is a great way to give your muscles that much more energy for an even more intense training session!
