Do pre workouts work better with carbs?
Carbohydrates aren’t required for a pre workout supplement to be effective, but having some carbs beforehand can give you an extra edge.
- Pre workouts are designed to boost energy, focus, and performance through ingredients like caffeine, amino acids, and nitric oxide boosters.
- Carbs provide a quick, accessible fuel source for your muscles, which can help sustain energy during longer or more intense sessions.
If you train fasted, your preworkout will still work — but a light carb-based snack (like fruit or oats) may help you perform at your best.
