Where to buy it

You can buy Alpha Pre Pre-Workout by Alpha Supps at the following retailers:

  • Supplement City
  • Alpha Supps

My Experience

I took Alpha Supps Pre five times over three weeks, twice before a workout and three times before my 12-hour shift at my day job. 

While I didn’t experience the pumps I was hoping for during the workouts, it gave me significant energy and focus, especially for my day job.

Effects

Within 10 minutes, I felt a smooth wave of energy come over me, which lasted 3 hours for a workout and well over 7 for work.

About the same time the energy came in, I felt the Beta-Alanine tingles. Even at 2.5-grams and without a digestive aid, I could still feel a moderate tingling sensation.  I would rate it a 4 or 5 out of 10. 

Several minutes after the energy and tingles started, the focus began and was quite dialed-in side. Furthermore, it stayed the entire time, and gave a pleasant and mild head-buzz afterward.

I observed minimal thermogenic effects and no adverse side effects.

Flavor

I tried the Peach Rings flavor, which was smooth and sweet I liken it to candied peach rings more so than fruit-based peach rings. Overall, I’d give it a 9 out of 10. 

Other flavors include Blueberry Lemonade, Candied Tart, Green Apple Jolly, Raspberry Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, and Watermelon Lemonade, giving you plenty of variety in flavors to choose from.

Scoop Size

A whole serving is one scoop of 10 grams, which luckily comes out to a dead-flat scoop.

Ingredients

Alpha Supps Pre Ingredients Label

L-Citrulline – 3,000 mg

L-Citrulline is one of the most common pre-workout ingredients. Extensive evidence supports its ability to increase nitric oxide production, power output, and endurance, making it an essential pump pre-workout ingredient.

The effective dose is 4-9 grams, putting Alpha Supps Pre just below the 4-gram minimum for an effective amount.

Beta-Alanine – 2,500 mg

Beta-alanine has been shown to support muscular endurance and can act as a lactic acid buffer. 

However, beta-alanine requires regular intake to be effective, similar to creatine. Daily supplementation of beta-alanine is recommended, with a loading period of three to five weeks to become effective.

3 to 4 grams is the recommended daily dosage for beta-alanine, placingAlpha Supps Pre below the dose. Although the amount is less than the recommended daily dose, you still feel the tingles.

Agmatine Sulfate – 1,000 mg

Agmatine sulfate assists endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), which signals vasodilation.

1 gram is the ideal dose, which Alpha Supps Pre provides

S7 – 50 mg

S7 is a patented blend of seven plant-based ingredients (green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, turmeric extract, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli, and kale) that increases nitric oxide production, helping to improve athletes’ pumps. 

The 50 mg found in Alpha Supps pre is recognized clinical dosage.

Caffeine Anhydrous – 300 mg

Caffeine needs no introduction, but it’s one of the most researched sports supplements. Most fat burners will range between 175 mg (as with the great M2) and 600 mg (as with the smoothest Hooligan).

Typically, pre-workouts range from 250 to 450 mg, putting the 375 mg of total caffeine in Alpha Supps Pre in the middle of that range.

Eria Jarensis (Whole Plant) extract – 200 mg

Eria Jarensis, N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine Citrate. Eria Jarensis is a stimulant commonly seen alongside DMHA in high stim pre-workouts.

200 mg is a good dose of this ingredient. Usual amounts range from 150 mg to 500 mg, as found in Flame Pre Workout (which is terrific).

Infinergy ™ (Di-Caffeine Malate) – 100 mg

Di-Caffeine malate is the “extended-release” version of caffeine. Combined with caffeine anhydrous, it extends the effects of a pre-workout and offsets crash effects of high caffeine doses.

Alpha Supps Pre uses “Infinergy,” a patented form of di-caffeine malate. In theory, this should give you more confidence that it is a high-quality ingredient.

Di-Caffeine Malate yields 75% of actual caffeine, meaning you get 75 mg of caffeine from this source for a total of 375 mg of caffeine.

Synephrine – 50 mg

Synephrine is a well-researched ingredient that has been shown to aid in weight loss. 

“In general, bitter orange extract alone (p-synephrine) or in combination with other herbal ingredients did not produce significant adverse events such as an increase in heart rate or blood pressure or alter electrocardiographic data, serum chemistry, blood cell counts, or urinalysis. p-Synephrine alone and in combination products were shown to increase resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure, and modest increases in weight loss were observed with bitter orange extract/p-synephrine-containing products when given for six to 12 weeks.” 

Synephrine Meta-Analysis

The 50 mg of synephrine found in Alpha Supps Pre is a decent dosage for fat-burning effects

Huperzine A – 200 mcg

-Like Choline Bitartrate, Huperzine A is cholinergic and acts as a cognitive enhancer. As an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, It helps lengthen the half-life of cholinergic sources (Examine). 

Huperzine tends to be taken in doses of 50 mcg to 200 mcg, so the amount found in Alpha Supps Pre is at the top of the range.

Alpha Supps Alpha Pre Pre-Workout Review
3.5

Summary

Alpha Supps Pre provides smooth energy and fierce focus. Although I found it to be underwhelming as an all-around pre-workout, it works well as a higher-stim nootropic. If not considering the pump-side of the product, I’d give it a 4.1 out of 5 instead, as the energy and focus are more than acceptable but not too overwhelming.

Pros

  • Open-label
  • Great, smooth energy
  • Strong focus

Cons

  • Underdosed ingredients (especially L-Citrulline and Beta-Alanine)
  • Underwhelming pumps; could use more ingredients or higher doses.
