Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky
Bucked Up
Overview
This non-stimulant pre-workout aims to enhance performance through a combination of amino acids and other ingredients. While Citrulline Malate and Beta-Alanine are present at clinically relevant doses, the effectiveness of other ingredients is less certain due to lower dosages and limited research. The inclusion of proprietary blends such as Astragin and Actigin adds further uncertainty to the overall effectiveness of the product.
The Good
Citrulline Malate at an effective dose for vasodilation and potential performance enhancement
Beta-Alanine at a clinically relevant dose to improve muscular endurance
Non-stimulant formula suitable for those sensitive to stimulants or who prefer to avoid them
The Bad
Deer Antler Velvet Extract lacks strong evidence for claimed benefits
Taurine is underdosed for performance benefits
Limited research on the long-term effects of Actigin and Astragin
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals sensitive to stimulants, evening exercisers, those seeking enhanced pumps and focus without caffeine
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a doctor.
