Pre-workouts are rightfully among the most popular dietary supplements among strength athletes.But if you work out late in the afternoon or in the evening, regular pre-workouts are not very suitable for you. The high stimulant content has a negative impact on sleep quality, which further results in many negative effects on both performance and overall health. Therefore, pre-workouts without stimulants are a highly desirable commodity.
Today, we're going to take a look at a new product from Vilgain together. Pre-Workout without Stimulants 2.0 is an improved version of an already very popular product. But is it really better? And how does it compare to competing products? Is it worth trying? Find out that and much more in today's review.
Content of the review
Pre-workouts without stimulants don't offer the same powerful effect as regular pre-workouts, but they can still help you get better results in your workout. They promote blood flow, which is especially evident in much better pumping, and focuswhich helps you perform the last repetition technically perfectly. If pre-workouts with stimulants don't suit you for whatever reason, pre-workouts without stimulants are a very good alternative.
Improved composition
Vilgain Pre-Workout without Stimulants 2.0 has seen significant changes in composition compared to its old version. It now also contains beetroot extract, L-Arginine AKG and L-tyrosine, but on the contrary, there is no trace of taurine. One dose of Vilgain Pre-Workout without stimulants 2.0 therefore contains the following:
- 6000 mg of L-Citrulline Malate 2:1, which is the best supplement to improve NO production and thus muscle blood flow
- 3000 mg of SaBeet® beetroot extract containing nitrates for maximum muscle blood supply during training
- 2500 mg of L-Ornithine HCL effectively helping to release anabolic hormones and improve proteosynthesis
- 2000 mg of L-Arginine AKG 2:1 to support maximum NO production
- 500 mg of Acetyl-l-Carnitine serving as an energy source during hard workouts
- 500 mg of L-Tyrosine acting as a precursor to adrenaline and noradrenaline
- 100 mg of rosehip extract, which acts as an adaptogen
- 20 mg of DMAE to delay fatigue
We must appreciate the high content of l-citrulline, which very effectively promotes proper blood circulation.Somewhat unusual is the extremely high content of beetroot extract. This also helps to promote maximum blood flow. When I first looked at the ingredients, I was quite surprised by this decision of the manufacturer, but I have to admit that in the end this combination works more than well. Also, the other ingredients in the formula clearly have their place and work very well together. Although the 8 active ingredients are not very many compared to the competition, their ratiofine combination works very well and personally I have to say that I don't really miss anything much in the product.
What has been our experience with using it?
The manufacturer recommends taking one scoop of 18 grams with 250 ml of water. Drinking a quarter of a litre of water before training seems quite a lot to me personally, on the other hand Pre-Workout without stimulants 2.0 can be taken 30-60 minutes before training. This will give you plenty of time to get a bit of sleep after drinking it. If you follow the recommended dosage, one pack will last you a total of 20 workoutswhich isn't bad at all, although most competing products last longer.
As for the effect itself, it should be remembered that each of us may perceive it a little differently, and forI can't say that you will feel exactly the same. However, for myself, I can say that I felt a solid blood flow during my workout that is comparable to what I have experienced after using proven competitor products. So in this respect I have nothing to complain about and I can recommend the product.
Unusual taste
At the moment, the product is only available in strawberry and lime flavour. This unconventional combination honestly didn't really entice me at first glance, but after the first taste my fears thankfully dissipated. The taste itself is a bit sour, but that's not uncommon in pre-workouts. If it still doesn't suit you, you can simply use a little more water to soften it up. For myself, however, I have to rate the taste of Pre-Workout without Stimulants 2.0 positively.
Higher but fair price
At the time of writing this review, you will pay just under 600 crowns for one pack containing 20 doses, which corresponds to about 30 crowns per dose. This is honestly not a little, but at the same time it is not a disaster. Given the hilarious composition and very decent effect, I dare say that the price-quality ratio is still at a very good level in this case. Of course, you can find much cheaper alternatives on the market, but their effect will be in most cases much worse.
Final evaluation
Vilgain Pre-Workout without Stimulants 2.0 offers an improved formula compared to its old version and from my point of view also a much better effect. In terms of taste, I don't expect it to suit everyone, but it will certainly find its fans. In terms of price, it is not the cheapest product, but the value for money is still very good. Therefore, we can highly recommend Pre-Workout without stimulants 2.0 by Vilgain.
