Overview
Here’s what XBrain have to say:
You’re Holding More than a Pre-Workout.
You’re holding a “Pre” that is CHARGED with the BEST performance-enhancing
ingredients in the World. Creatine, Beta-Alanine, BCAAs and Caffeine - they’re
all inside, and properly dosed to help support explosive energy, massive
strength, and greater muscular endurance. And that’s not all. You’re holding a
“Pre” that’s CHARGED with innovation too. A “Pre” with 14 grams of pure MCT oil
to help boost energy and support fat loss. A “Pre” that helps support healthy
joints. And a “Pre” that may help reduce cortisol and support a healthy immune
system thanks to our breakthrough RNA Nucleotide complex. With 22 naturally
flavored and great tasting servings inside, you’re holding more than a
Pre-Workout. You’re holding the BEST Pre-Workout you’ll ever use. Guaranteed!
Nutritional
Information
Not relying on sugars or high amounts of caffeine
to power you through a workout seems to be the aim of PreCharged. Providing you
with great doses of Glutamine, BCAAs, Creatine.... along with some fat burning
ingredients which is slightly unusual. We have Green Tea & L-Carnitine and
healthy fats in the form of MCT oil. These should help draw energy from stored fat. There is a modest amount of caffeine to
assist with energy but its not the sole or even the primary source of energy.
There is also a healthy amount of Glycine
included which is often overlooked in pre and post workout supplementation. Glycine
assists with energy production, acts as a neurotransmitter in the central
nervous system, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and assists with the
uptake of Creatine. A very important yet simple amino-acid.
Taste
It only comes in Organic Pomegranate it is
an incredibly strong and distinct flavour. In smaller concentrations I found it
too strong to drink but once it is sufficiently diluted I could manage it. It
mixed up fine and didn’t have an aftertaste but I do think the flavour could use some
work.
Side
Effects
Slight tingling from the Beta-Alanine but that’s
to be expected.
Price
£37.99 for 22 servings.
Results
XBrain really like to go all out on their
formulas and this is no exception. Don’t expect PreCharged to be a “sugar rush”
pre or a “caffeine buzz” pre, this is a complete preworkout. The formula is
incredibly well thought out and meticulously dosed, which is fast becoming the
hallmark of an XBrain product.
PreCharged is more about energy and
muscular endurance than pump and that’s not a bad thing. With more energy and
endurance you will likely find that you can add a few reps to most sets which will
lead to a greater pump. The energy itself doesn’t hit you like some pre’s but
rather gradually builds over about a half hour period before levelling out at a
nice high rather than a spike and crash that overly caffeinated products can
provide. The endurance was very good too, I very rarely ran out of energy and
usually I some had some left in the tank by the end of the workout.
The taste isn’t great and neither is the
price. They are the two down sides to PreCharged. The product itself is great,
its well built, it has actual health benefits rather than a standard workout
booster and more importantly it does exactly what it sets out to. 7
