Primal Concentrate Pre: A new pre-workout for those who need more
Mixing up a potent pre-workout before a tough training session is the ideal way to prime your mind and body for the hard effort that lies ahead.
A product like Primal Pre is an ideal option. This high-potency pre-workout is formulated with a combination of critical ingredients that enhance training and may increase performance, with 2,000mg BCAAs, 3,000mg Beta alanine, 380mg Acetyl L-Carnitine, and 300mg caffeine per scoop.
Concentrated Energy
That’s why Primal has added new Primal Concentrate Pre to its arsenal. This explosive pre-workout is dosed to deliver a surge of energy and increased stamina to power through your workouts with added ingredients to support intense muscle pumps.
Each serving contains 3,000mg Beta-alanine, 1,500mg L-Citrulline Malate, 1,500mg L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG), 1,250mg Betaine Anhydrous, and 250mg Caffeine Anhydrous to support training intensity to deliver better gains.
- L-citrulline malate: Has been shown to increases nitric oxide (NO) production1, which can improve blood flow to boost muscle pumps while delivering more oxygen to potentially delay fatigue.
- Beta-alanine: Has been shown to increase muscle carnosine levels², which in turn buffers lactic acid buildup during high-intensity exercise, potentially delaying fatigue to improve stamina.
- AAKG: May enhance blood flow to muscles³, potentially leading to increased muscle pumps, improved nutrient delivery, and enhanced workout performance.
- Betaine anhydrous: May boost muscle protein synthesis by supporting the production of methionine, enhances power, and reduces perceived exertion and fatigue⁴.
- Caffeine anhydrous: Improves various aspects of athletic performance⁵. Provides a quick energy boost by acting as a stimulant for the central nervous system, increasing alertness, focus, and energy levels.
Comparing Primal Pre-workouts
With Primal Pre, the formulation delivers a good balance between energy, focus power and recovery.
In comparison, Primal Concentrate Pre is designed with fewer ingredients, however made to maximise energy and pump.
The combination of L-Citrulline Malate and AAKG significantly increases N.O. production.
This results in improved blood flow to working muscles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients. This translates to better muscle pumps, increased endurance, and the ability to push harder.
Betaine Anhydrous further supports power output and muscle endurance, allowing you to lift heavier and perform more reps.
Ultimately, Primal Concentrate Pre is geared towards those who want to maximise performance and achieve intense muscle pumps, while Primal Pre offers a more balanced approach with added recovery benefits.
Primal Concentrate Pre is available online or from your nearest Dis-Chem Pharmacy in Cherry and Coco-Pine flavours.
