THE PROMISE
Dymatize has not been a serious player in the pre-workout category for a long time but they are planning to change all that with the upcoming release of the Dymatize Pre W.O. Promising to be their best pre workout to date. Honestly, being their best so far is not a serious challenge. But introducing a fully dosed pre-workout with the Dymatize name behind it is something worth your attention and we are all set to give review the Dymatize Pre W.O.
THE LABEL
The Dymatize Pre W.O is available in a 20 serving 400g tub. That’s a MASSIVE 20g serving size. A quick look at the label and you’ll see that more than 90% of them (18g) are active ingredients. That is some serious action taking place.
Pumps & N.O
Citrulline Malate (8g) WHOA! Dymatize get serious right of the gate. This incredibly powerful nitric oxide booster L-Arginine in effectiveness yielding greater vasodilation, vascularity, and pumps. L-Citrulline also enhances athletic performance by enhancing ATP production in the body, boosting endurance, and supporting lean mass gains. And at 8g it beats a lot of its direct fully dosed competition.
Inositol-stabilized Arginine Silicate (1.5g) Is a complex that binds arginine with silicate to unlock powerful synergistic effects. It can help build nitric oxide levels over time to support healthy circulation and blood vessel integrity in the body. 1.5g is literally double of what we are used to see!
Power & Endurance
Beta-Alanine (3.2g) Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid. Unlike most amino acids, it is not used by the body to synthesize proteins. It works together with histidine to produce carnosine. Which is stored in your skeletal muscles to reduces lactic acid accumulation in your muscles during exercise. This helps to improved performance. 3.2g of Beta Alanine is the recommended dosage for full effect.
Betaine (1.5g) Betaine Anhydrous, also called Trimethylglycine, is becoming popular as a pre-workout performance enhancer. Several studies have concluded that Betaine is capable of increasing strength, muscle size and enhancing aspects of recovery. We are used to seeing Betaine at 2.5g in fully dosed Pre-Workouts but 1.5g is definitely a respectable amount.
L-Taurine (2g) Taurine is one of the non essential Amino Acid that helps pull extra water in muscle cells, which supports hydration, endurance, and gives some pretty sweet water-based pumps, there’s also research that shows that Taurine can help to bolster your focus during workouts. 2G is at the top of the range.
Coconut Water fruit powder (200mg) The short story is Hydration & Digestion support. The longer one is: Coconut water is made of many naturally occurring bioactive enzymes such as acid phosphatase, peroxidase, catalase, dehydrogenase, diastase, RNA and polymerases. All of these enzymes work together to aid in digestion and metabolism. Coconut water also supports detoxification and is a good source of B-complex vitamins.
Energy & Focus Blend
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (350mg) Bring on da focus….Is an acetylated form of L-Tyrosine. It breaks down to L-Tyrosine in the kidneys and is more soluble than Tyrosine supplements. It has been shown to enhance cognition during workouts.
Caffeine Anhydrous (300mg) Caffeine anhydrous is made out of the seeds and leaves of coffee plants. “anhydrous” means “without water.” The stimulant properties of caffeine are increased because it enhances the effects of natural stimulants like dopamine, norepinephrine, glutamate and adrenaline. 300mg is quite an amount. Some may say too much (not me…)
Theacrine (125mg) Works naturally together with the body to supplement energy and motivation. Theacrine is very similar to caffeine, but is longer lasting and provides more benefits than just being a stimulant. 125mg is a hefty amount!
The Label’s Bottom Line
Tons of active ingredients & Packing a lot of energy, pump and also great profile on endurance & power on this one. Overall Looks like a well rounded label from the team at Dymatize. The only thing we are missing here is more focus elements. L–Tyrosine is the only one really there & and we don’t see how that would cut it…
Dymatize Pre W.O Best TASTE AND FLAVOR
Available in 3 flavors on launch day, we tried HAND SPUN COTTON CANDY flavor which taste GREAT! No after taste or chemical flavor. It is on the sweeter side but that is expected with a COTTON CANDY flavor. SO keep that in mind if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth.
