What Makes Thorne's Pre-Workout Elite Different from Other Pre-Workout Supplements?

With the recent launch of Thorne’s new Pre-Workout Elite, you might be wondering, “What makes this pre-workout so special?” There’s a lot to love – even the product’s origin story. For years, our customers have asked us for a pre-workout supplement. Well, this one is for you.
Our mission is to create products that help our customers lead happier and healthier lives, and we’re proud to deliver on that promise with a pre-workout supplement that defies industry standards. We’ve never been one to shy away from a little healthy competition, so here are four reasons why Thorne’s Pre-Workout Elite is in a league of its own.
1. No side effects
Yes, you read that right. No side effects. That means no jitters. No tingling. No itching. No sugar crash. No elevated heart rate. No palpitations. With Pre-Workout Elite, you no longer have the unpleasant side effects that are so common in other pre-workout supplements on the market.
And although Pre-Workout Elite does contain caffeine from the guayusa leaf extract ingredient (equivalent to about one cup of coffee), it doesn’t rely on a caffeine rush.
2. Feel it working in as soon as 30 minutes
When you add a new supplement to your daily regimen, you want to know if it’s actually working. The good news is you likely won’t be asking yourself that question with Pre-Workout Elite.
You can feel the benefits in as soon as 30 minutes after consumption,* making Pre-Workout Elite not only an ideal choice for those who are new to a pre-workout, but also for busy individuals looking to get the most out of the limited workout time they have. Our formula works faster than many other pre-workouts that can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes to kick in.
3. Clean ingredients
We source the cleanest ingredients in their purest possible forms and, in the supplement industry, that makes us an outlier; anyone who takes a pre-workout knows there is an overwhelming range of choices – not just for flavors and descriptive names, but for effectiveness and quality.
When you take a supplement, there should be no mystery about what you’re consuming. For example, Pre-Workout Elite’s label does not list sugar – so that means there is no sugar. And the flavor is derived from natural ingredients.
Everyone has a right to know what they are putting into their body – the ingredients, their quantity, and their quality. When you purchase Thorne’s Pre-Workout Elite, you’re investing in a quality product with a clear label and clean ingredients.
You’re also buying a pre-workout that is NSF Certified for Sport®, a distinction that is known in the industry as the gold standard of supplement testing. As a member of Thorne’s NSF Certified for Sport product line, Pre-Workout Elite has been tested by NSF International to ensure the absence of 290 banned substances. And NSF’s testing is in addition to the four rounds of testing that we do for every Thorne product.
4. Customize your stack
Although many pre-workouts on the market have mysterious ingredients, there are some that will sound familiar to you. For example, many pre-workouts contain creatine or beta-alanine, two products that we sell. But if you check the label on Pre-Workout Elite, you’ll notice these two nutrients aren’t listed there. Why is that?
At Thorne, we believe in a one-size-fits-one approach because everyone has different needs and routines. This is why we offer many single-ingredient products; you can take a Thorne supplement with the assurance that you’re only consuming what you need with the option to add more.
The benefit, of course, is that you have ultimate control over your own supplement stack! Customize it any way you want – that could mean adding a supplement like Amino Complex (a clinically-validated BCAA formula), Creatine, Beta Alanine-SR, or a protein powder – or just Pre-Workout Elite. The choice is yours!
