Hey Guys Welcome back to my Channel .
This Week I'm going to be Talking about pre-workouts and all the dangerous stuff that People put in Pre Workout and then
Sell to you so for Those of you that Follow me on my Instagram
Or my snapchat you'll know that I stopped taking pre Workout on a while Ago now
The Reason I stopped Taking it was Because I really Didn't like how it Made me Feel. I Didn't like the icky Ants on my
skin Feeling you Know
and i didn't like the Insane Amount of Energy that I got and so I've Been Replacing it With like Green Tea
Or Coffee. I basically Researched
What the ingredients Are for Pre-Workout and you'd be Surprised how
Much Crap They put in Pre Workouts. So in this Video I'm going to go
over two pre-Workouts That Have Been Banned and why They
Were Banned. I'm Sure a couple of you have heard of Them but I'm going to explain
Why, They were Banned and The ingredients that were Banned in Them and why, They
Were so Bad and then I'm also going to go, over Some red flags when you Buy a Pre-Workout
So big no-no. next Week's Video
We're Going to Figure out how to actually choose a Pre-Workout
That's Right for you and has good Ingredients I'm going to go over a list of the most Common ingredients Found in Pre-Workout and Basically
With science Backing Me Up whether or not This is useful or not a useful
Ingredient and Whether or not you even Need it in a Pre-Workout
Also as A neuroscience Major I've Been Taught to not Talk out of my, ass and Make Sure I have
Science and facts To back Up everything I'm Saying
So for every Single Thing that I'm going to be Saying in This Video and next Week's Video
I'm going to have a link in the About Section of the Video to the Article
Backing up the Statement that I'm Making so you Guys Know I'm not Talking out of my
Ass and This is all backed by Scientific Research.
Let's get started. The first Ingredient that I'm Gonna be Discussing Is an Ingredient Called
DMAA and That Stands for 1-3
Dimethyl A Melamine I
Basically
DMAA
It was in A Pre-Workout called Jack3d and Oxyelite Pro.
These Both Used to belong to Company USPlabs and so Initially
Usp labs put this DMAA
in The Pre-Workout and They Marketed it and People Just Loved it because it gave them a ton of Energy and so
Later studies have shown That This is Actually A very very Dangerous
Stimulant and so when You take dMAA it's Basically like caffeine you'll Get A surge of energy
But it Gives You that Energy by active in Different
Mechanisms in your Brain I'm not gonna go Into it Cuz it's Really, Unnecessary to know all These Mechanisms
Well let's Just put it this Way caffeine is Safe
DMAA is not Safe
so this thing was on the Market for A couple Years and then the FDA
Was like Holy Shit why Are They Putting This a Pre-Workout this Is very very Dangerous
So people that Consume DMAA and A lot of People Consumed it with Caffeine
Or like other Stimulants it Could Lead to Stroke it Lead to heart Attacks Basically you could die from taking this and so um
They immediately Contact USP Labs and like you Guys Have to take this off The Market now
I'm sure you guys know you Can Still find this on ebay or I don't know some
Third-Party
Site Or something that will sell this to you
don't Buy it this Thing is dangerous it's not good for you you will be able to lift the House
But you might die in the Process not Worth it so the second Ingredient Is n Alpha
phenylthylamine Or Basically This is going to be the acronym
We're Going to use I'm not even Gonna Try to pronounce it We'll just Call it N- Alpha so N-Alpha is Basically
Found in A pre-Workout Called Craze now the Problem With N-alpha Is that it is a methamphetamine
analogue. what does that mean if This is meth this is the analog it's like a mirror Image of meth and so
You Could view This as like meths twin brother that has Like a little Different Nose or something like that
It's Basically the Same tihng and so
When you were Consuming Craze you were Basically Consuming Fruit-Flavored meth now What Amazes Me Is that Craze Had About
21 To 35 Milligrams of
N-alpha in Each serving that's a pharmaceutical Level dose of meth like I hope you guys Comprehend This
So it was just Crazy I'm so glad they Pulled this off the Market but again if You happen to find Craze
Line Please don't Buy it this is very very
Dangerous I'm Sure you Guys all know the negative Side effects of met I think This is applicable to this as
Well I also linked the Article Below so you guys Can See just how Crazy it Is and how
Unregulated The Supplement Market Is
Like They Took Meth and They put it in a Pre-Workout and Nobody Said Anything for A couple Years until Someone
Was like Holy Shit This is Really Dangerous.
Obviously before you Consume Anything do your Research Make sure that what you're Buying Is not Dangerous for you
Okay so now that We talked about two of the Banned
Ingredients That Have Been Found in Some free workouts let's go
Over Some Red Flags When Buying a Pre-Workout asyou know the supplement Industry Is not Regulated by the FDA its Supplement Companies Can Basically
Do Whatever They want with
Pre-Workout and Any other Supplements for That Matter They Can put Whatever They want They Can use fillers They Can Use dangerous Ingredients
and the Reason for this is like i said the FDA doesn't Approve or Disapprove supplements Unless it becomes Really
Dangerous Like Meth and The other the other Reason Is that science Takes A long Time to Catch up to the current Situation
So the supplement Company Made Craze they put meth
In Craze and They Marketed it and Nobody Figured this out until science Or Research Actually caught up with it and so
Here are A couple Guidelines After doing my Own Research about Pre-Workouts that I put together
That you Should Kind of Look out for when you Purchase your Pre-Workout, okay so first and Foremost if You See A
Proprietary Blend in your Pre-Workout that Should, be A Big red Flag
So let's Take a look at this label right Up here it has
Something Called A Proprietary Blend and This is Basically A
Whole Bunch of Ingredients That the Company Puts Together under Their Name so it's like a market
Or it's like an Umbrella for that Product and They Basically
Don't want to tell you what's in it so they'll Say it's a proprietary Blend and that Way they get Around
Having to Disclose The List of exact Ingredients in the Pre-Workout
Now in My Opinion When a company Says they have a proprietary Blend it's Just Bullshit They
Don't want to tell you what's in it because it's Probably a whole Bunch of Fillers and
You're Paying A ton of Money Or even if it's not
You're Paying for something that's not doing Anything it Could be Coloring it Could be Flavoring it could be Just Any
Any Number of Fillers that you don't Really need in A Pre-Workout
Another Thing if A company will Show you scientific Research that's Been Conducted on animals don't
Necessarily believe That that's Applicable to humans Either Usually the Research will be done on lab rats and so what affects Them does not Necessarily
Affect Us in the Same way so be Cautious Make sure to look Through the Research Article if The Company Even Cites it to See
Whether Or not This Scientific this Scientific Claim is Actually Back
The Third Thing if A Pre-Workout Contains A lot of ingredients that's A big red Flag
Now I know this is counterintuitive Because A lot of People like
Oh if it has A lot of Ingredients it's Probably More effective
That's Actually not True [A] long List of Ingredients in your Pre-Workout Or in Any
Supplement For That Matter it Just means that you're Probably getting low Dosages of very Ineffective
Ingredients and so Instead of Putting Three of the Main, Ingredients that you need in A Pre-Workout
They'll Put 10 Different Ingredients Some of Them Fillers some of Them Ineffective Or some of Forth if a Pre-Workout is Really heavy on
Stimulants ie Has A ton of Stimulants in it I would be a little bit Wary again this is up [to] you
We do need stimulants since that Is kind of the point of a Pre-Workout but be
Cautious so as you Guys Probably Know A lot of pre Workouts Have
Caffeine and sinephrine and These will Increase Energy and Performance but some Pre-Workout, Rely Way too
Heavily on Stimulants and so the Reason for this is very Simple
Stimulants Are Cheap and They Give you a jolt of Energy Which is what you're Looking for in a Pre-Workout
Most supplement Companies want you to feel like, you're getting the biggest Bang for your buck With Regards to energy and the way they
Do this Is by loading up on stimulants so you feel like again A
Ton of Energy and This is Actually A very effective Pre-Workout some People Really
Enjoy that but like I said at the beginning of This Video I am not a fan of the Ants on my skin Feeling or
My Heart Racing for dear Life I like to get A jolt of Energy but
I don't like it to the point Where I feel like I'm Going to
die so it's really up to you if you Guys Want Stimulants I personally prefer to avoid them because they
Don't Make Me Feel very, well but if You really
Enjoy that I guess then you can go Ahead and find a Pre-Workout that has A ton of Steam
And gives You the amount of Energy you're Looking for the next Thing is artificial Ingredients
I know a lot of Pre-Workouts and A lot of supplements in General use artificial Flavors and Artificial coloring Because
Let's Be Honest it's cool, to see your water turn blue when you mix a Pre-Workout in and you
Also like your Pre-Workout to taste sweet or case like a blueberry Without Having the Calories or the Carbs or Anything like that
The Thing is if it has A couple of Artificial Ingredients
That's you know more okay in my Opinion but if it's packed with A ton of artificial colors and Artificial Ingredients
Then I would be wary Now like I said I'm not Exactly a hypochondriac when it Comes to like
Artificial Ingredients But I don't like Consuming a ton of them
A lot of Artificial Colors Are Made from Petroleum Which is Gasoline Basically and so you Can Assume that
Consuming Those is Probably not Ideal for your health
Secondly A ton of Artificial Ingredients is Really not good for your Stomach [for] Me and Makes me Feel really
Bloated Particularly Artificial Sweeteners and so I think if A company Really wants to invest in its Product
Instead of using Like A cheap artificial sweetener it Could use Stevia
Or something that's a little bit more natural science has not Caught up to everything in The Supplement Industry and so just because Somebody Says
That There's no science Proving that artificial Ingredients Have A negative Effect on the Body. I
Wouldn't Be Too sure about that
There's no Science
yet that Proves that There might be Science in A couple Years [or] proves They're very very Dangerous for you all right Guys so I
Hope you Enjoyed this Video and I hope it helps you a little bit When Purchasing A free Workout if You're Going out what you?
Should Be Looking for Or
What you Should avoid in a Pre-Workout this is all backed up by
Scientific Articles They're all linked Below in The About Section so Feel free to check them out
