Deal updates for NITROSURGE Pre-Workout
Nitrosurge is the budget pre-workout with nothing hidden: 180 mg of caffeine, 3 g of L-citrulline and 1.6 g of beta-alanine per scoop, printed in full on the tub. The label allows two scoops for experienced users, which makes one tub stretch from a mild to a strong pre-workout.
Both carry a best-by date on the tub. Creatine monohydrate powder is stable when kept dry; pre-workouts can clump or lose fizz once moisture gets in. Keep the lid tight and the scoop dry.
Follow the serving suggestion on the label. Many people take creatine at the same time every day for consistency, and pre-workout 20–30 minutes before training; the timing matters less than taking it as directed.
It's printed on the label — commonly 150–300 mg per scoop, about one to three cups of coffee. If you're sensitive to caffeine or train in the evening, look for a stimulant-free version.
