Nutritional Information
 PreCharged™

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
