Everyone loves to grab an energy drink on the way out the door for their daily workout. A boost of energy always helps that targeted PR. Unfortunately, most energy drinks stacked up on the grocery store shelves are loaded with caffeine and sugar, which doesn’t necessarily help accomplish that PR in a healthy fashion. The caffeine and sugars will offer a quick spike of energy, but it is usually followed by an unenjoyable crash. There are many pre-workout options, including BeGOAT, that include a healthy list of ingredients to help avoid that mid-routine crash and sustain maximum output to get the most out of the workout.
There are several health and performance advantages of maintaining a well-rounded diet and consuming clean nutrients pre-workout such as improving energy levels, elevating performance during a workout, aiding in post-workout recovery, preparing for workouts, and lowering the risk of exhaustion and training injuries. These clean and natural nutrients include:
Caffeine –
Caffeine is known to be a stimulant that can help cognition and performance during a workout. Both the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have defined a daily intake to be 400 mg of caffeine. That equates to consuming 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day or 1 to 2 sustainable energy beverages, depending on the caffeine content. BeGOAT has the ideal quantity of 200 mg of caffeine per serving, therefor you can consume up to two of your favorite BeGOAT flavors pre-workout.
Vitamins & Minerals –
Our body is a magnet for vitamins and minerals. These are both essential factors of our daily diet for our body to function in a healthy way. From bone-strengthening metals to immune-supporting antioxidants, these are all important for maintaining a nourished system to maximize a workout. Fortunately, BeGOAT has been concocted with a unique ingredient known as cascara. Cascara is the coffee fruit or coffee cherry that grows around a coffee seed. This is the most essential portion of the fruit that is usually disregarded during the processing stage of coffee production. Cascara is bursting with caffeine, packed with several nutrients, and loaded with antioxidants in addition to polyphenols which all contribute towards improving cognitive health, supporting the immune system, providing a healthy energy boost, lowering stress and anxiety, and assisting with weight loss.
Carbohydrates –
Consuming carbohydrates pre-workout is very common and has proven to enhance performance. The glucose that is found in carbs helps fuel all the muscles throughout a workout. Short and intense workouts pull from our body’s glucose storage as the main source of energy. For longer workouts, the way carbs are burned depends on the intensity, and type of workout, in addition to the overall diet. BeGOAT is sweetened naturally with allulose, organic sugar, stevia extract, and monk fruit extract contributing towards the 7 net carbs found in every flavor. Once again, making BeGOAT is a good option for clean energy pre-workout beverages.
Proteins –
When looking for additional improved athletic performance, protein is a great source. When consuming protein before a workout, with or without carbs, it can increase muscle protein synthesis. Muscle protein synthesis(MPS) is the naturally occurring metabolic process of muscle damage from a workout, then repair and growth post-workout. Although BeGOAT doesn’t come loaded with protein, pairing the 7 net carbs found in these beverages with your protein consumption may assist with the muscle protein synthesis process.
Fats –
Fat is another outstanding source of fuel for longer and moderate-to-low-intensity workouts. Although fats are important to eat pre-workout, this source of fuel is measured over a longer period. The amount of fat stored over the past few weeks is going to maximize athletic performance more than fat-loading right before a workout. Once again, BeGOAT is not packed with fats but it is the overall combination of all the ingredients that are contributing towards a healthy pre-workout clean energy beverage.
The timing of consuming these clean and natural ingredients pre-workout is just as important as ensuring a well-rounded diet. To maximize fitness results post-workout, it is best to complete a meal containing carbs, protein, and fat 2-3 hours pre-workout. If eating 45-60 minutes before a workout, the food selection needs to be simplified for easier digestion such as only carbs and a smaller portion of protein. The boost of caffeine is icing on the cake if you want to beat last week’s PR.
It is especially important to drink plenty of fluids pre-and post-workout, as you perspire throughout the process. Fortunately, BeGOAT has brewed a healthy, sustainable, and refreshing boost of energy plus antioxidants. Featuring 200 mg of caffeine, 25 calories, 5 g of organic cane sugar, non-GMO, gluten-free, and 7 net carbs, in addition to all-natural plant-based ingredients.
