We recommend taking Gnarly PRE 20-30 minutes before your workout, drinking Gnarly BCAAs during your workout and then following up with your favorite Gnarly protein. This keeps leucine levels (one of the branched chain amino acids critical to preventing muscle breakdown and promoting muscle growth) in your blood high and maximizes the benefit you get from your training while minimizing soreness and fatigue.

Tingling in your hands and face after taking Gnarly PRE is completely normal. Gnarly PRE includes Beta Alanine, an ingredient that increases muscular carnosine levels and helps buffer muscular acidity. Beta Alanine also causes “pins and needles” type tingling, the medical term for which is paresthesia. Paresthesia is a harmless side effect but can be reduced or avoided by taking a smaller dose of Gnarly PRE.

If 180mg of caffeine is a bit too much for you, remember that Gnarly Preworkout comes in a caffeine free strawberry lemonade flavor. We also have a lot of athletes that end up mixing ½ scoop of the caffeinated Gnarly Preworkout with ½ scoop of the caffeine free Preworkout - this provides a much more moderate 90mg of caffeine/serving while providing full doses of BCAAs, Beta Alanine and Citrulline Malate.

We recommend taking Gnarly PRE 20-30 minutes before your workout/training session.

1 Serving of Gnarly Preworkout is 14-15g.  14-15g of powder is approximately 1 Tablespoon.

No, we didn’t forget yours. We’ve come to the hard decisions to ditch our scoops for the sake of Mother Nature.

Losing the scoops will save an estimated 28,000lbs (that’s a Freight Ship with Rocky Balboa as the Captain) of plastic per year. It’s a no brainer for our beloved Earth.

Now don’t just start pouring powder into your drinks willy-nilly. Have a regular spoon laying around? Good. Here’s the kitchen equivalent:

1 scoop with 10-12 oz of liquid, or 1.5 tbsp. (14-15 grams) with 10-12 oz of liquid.
