- Is it better to drink pre-workout fast or slow?
As a general rule, you'll see the best results from your pre workout supplement if you take it within about 30 minutes of your workouts. It's during this time frame that caffeine reaches its peak effectiveness. You'll likely feel some of the effects of the caffeine almost instantly after you consume your pre workout.
- Should you drink pre-workout slowly?
Most of the active ingredients in your pre-workout drink take 30-60 minutes to reach peak levels in your blood. It takes your body 3-5 hours to cut the concentration of caffeine in your blood in half. So if you have it anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before your workout, you're getting the full benefit from it.
