  • Improved stamina + endurance

Ingredients

MAXed L-Citrulline

L-Citrulline boosts nitric oxide production, which leads to enhanced blood flow and powerful muscle pumps.* It also improves high-intensity strength and power performance, and also supports endurance and helps reduce feelings of fatigue.* Our fermented L-citrulline is 100% plant-based. In Pre-Workout Elite, we use the MAXed form for enhanced absorption.*

MAXed Carnosyn® Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine directly improves performance by fighting muscle fatigue and increasing muscle endurance.* It’s also what gives your pre-workout that tingly feeling, called paresthesia. We use the patented, pure form, CarnoSyn®, and the MAXed form for enhanced absorption.*

MAXed Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most well-researched and effective supplements for enhancing athletic performance. It's a natural amino acid-like molecule that turns into creatine phosphate in the body, which helps make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides the energy for muscle contractions, making creatine monohydrate a powerful ingredient for those looking to increase muscle mass, strength, and exercise performance.* We use a micronized form so it mixes easily.

MAXCatalyst™ Piper nigrum Fruit Extract

MAXCatalyst™ is a patented ingredient from black pepper extract that has been shown to help improve the absorption of the key ingredients L-citrulline, Beta-alanine, and creatine. This means, you can get more of the benefits of these ingredients, from improved pumps to reduced fatigue and increased strength. Research has shown…

Citrulline + MAX = 64% improvement in plasma amino acid concentration

Beta-Alanine + MAX = 116.23% improvement in plasma amino acid concentration

Creatine + MAX = 40.15% improvement in plasma concentration

BetaPower® Betaine Anhydrous.

Betaine has shown to support strength, power, and muscle endurance.* In particular, it may help increase max power output, making it a staple of our pre-workouts. BetaPower® is a patented, purified form.

NO3-T® Creatine Nitrate

Creatine Nitrate (NO3-T®) works as a 2-in-1 supplement, providing the performance benefits of creatine while helping amplify your muscle pumps. Simultaneously a quality creatine and nitrous oxide booster, NO3-T® can also enhance endurance, allowing you to train harder and longer.*

elevATP®

elevATP® is a natural combination of ancient pear and apple polyphenols that support increased lean muscle, strength, and power output in connection with resistance training. It does this by increasing endogenous ATP, the currency of energy in our body.*

Taurine

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that has been shown to support stamina and endurance.* It also supports cellular hydration, electrolyte balance, and more efficient muscle contractions.*

Coconut Fruit Water Powder

One of nature’s superfoods, we use freeze-dried coconut water powder made with a low-temperature dehydration process.

L-Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine can improve focus and motivation, especially when combined with Caffeine. It can enhance mental performance under stress, which is one of the ways Pre-Workout Elite keeps your mind-locked on crushing your workouts. It does this by stimulating the neurotransmitters associated with motivation and our “fight or flight” response.*

PurCaf® Organic Caffeine

PurCaf® Organic caffeine is a premium, organic certified, 90% pure caffeine extract derived from water extracted green coffee beans for naturally sourced energy. Kick synthetic caffeine to the curb and switch to "green energy." PurCaf®is manufactured using a solvent-free process.

This clean form of caffeine helps give you the energy our pre-workouts are known for.

AmaTea® Guayusa Leaf Extract

AmaTea® Guayusa Leaf Extract contains caffeine that gives you a smooth boost in alertness and energy. Extracted from an herb in the upper Amazon basin, the herb highlights the naturally occurring antioxidants and caffeine from Guayusa for a cognitive uplift, without excessive jitters.*

Huperzine A

Huperzine A is a cognitive enhancer that supports lasting focus and attention. It inhibits an enzyme that degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, so it can help keep acetylcholine, and therefore focus levels, up. It can help you mentally stay dialed in during long training sessions and grueling sets.

How to Enjoy

Directions: Pre-Workout Elite® is a high-stimulant, advanced pre-workout. Start by mixing ½ scoop with 6-8 ounces of cold water 20-30 minutes before training to assess tolerance. Stay at that dose, or move up and mix up to 1 scoop with 12-16 ounces of cold water 20-30 minutes before training. Add more or less water for your ideal sweetness. Do not exceed more than 1 full scoop per day.

Frequently asked questions

Pre-Workout Elite

Is “Pre-Workout Elite” The Same as “Pre-Kaged Elite?”

Yes! We’ve decided to simplify our naming conventions. As such, “Pre-Kaged Elite” will now be known as “Pre-Workout Elite.” The packaging you receive may vary, but it’s the same award-winning pre-workout formula.

What are the benefits of using a pre-workout supplement?

Pre-workout supplements like Pre-Workout Elite are designed to enhance energy, focus, strength, and endurance.* They can help you train harder, recover faster between sets, and achieve better results from your workouts.

Are there any side effects associated with pre-workout supplements?

This is a high-stim pre-workout. This means if you have it later in the day, it can negatively impact your sleep. For best results, take it earlier in the day.

It also contains beta-alanine, an incredibly that causes paresthesia, or a tingling feeling. This is a harmless side effect, but some people do find it uncomfortable, especially at first.

Can I take a pre-workout supplement on an empty stomach?

You can take Pre-Workout Elite on an empty stomach, but your individual tolerance may vary. If you experience any discomfort, consider taking it with a small meal or snack.

Reviews

Kaged crushed it!

"This workout is serious. It amplifies whatever you bring into the gym with you. You never get a huge sloppy energy surge, jitters, or dramatic heart rate spikes, you get exactly what you should from a clean pre… sustained, consistent energy, increase pump and strength, and focus. Kaged crushed it with this one!"

Amanda L. (5/5)

Get rid of everything else

"Easily one of the top pre workouts I’ve used. No crazy ants crawling on you feeling but instead straight energy and drive. Definitely worth it. It helps to push out those last reps."

Garrison (5/5)

I am loving it.

"Kaged Pre-Workout Elite is less of a supplement and more of a legal waiver that transforms your nervous system into a high-voltage power grid. With 388mg of caffeine hitting like a freight train and enough Beta-Alanine to make you feel like your face is being serenaded by a choir of electric fire ants, this formula transitions you from "mildly caffeinated human" to "sentient lightning bolt" in under twenty minutes. The pump is so aggressive you’ll swear your skin is two sizes too small, leaving you looking like a topographical map of the Andes while you deadlift the Earth closer to the sun. It’s the perfect choice if you want to shatter a personal record and then solve a cold case in the parking lot, just don't take it if you plan on sitting still, unless you enjoy the taste of your own steering wheel."

Mark (5/5)

Ain't stopping

"I took 2 scoops 3 days ago. WHY IS IT STILL MY SET?"

"This is a very good pre workout. Lasts throughout my workout. No crash. Great energy. Multiple time buyer"

Patrick C. (5/5)

Pre-Workout Elite primes the PUMP!

"I love my Pre-Workout Elite! Flavor great and almost immediately feel a rush which helps motivate me to have an intense workout!"

Chaitanya M. (5/5)

Awesome

"Perfect pre workout ever"

Mohammad J. (5/5)

Greatest ever

"This is the best pre-workout I’ve ever used. Keeps me focused and energized throughout my workout"

Ricardo (5/5)

Excellent product!

"I’ve been using Kaged products for several months now, and I must say, I have been very pleasantly surprised and satisfied! Other supplement brands I’ve used lack a balanced approach between energy, efficiency, and effectiveness. So far, Kaged has done that for me! The pre workout gives me the energy boost I need to get me in the gym after work and the extra stamina to get more reps in when I’m already tired from a long day! Oh, and it tastes great too! Anyone who uses supplements knows something palatable isn’t always easy to find."

Josh (5/5)

SVP Businesss Development

"KAGED's pre-workout is an absolute game-changer! From the moment I take it, I can feel the surge of energy and focus that propels me through my workouts. The blend of ingredients is perfectly balanced to provide that much-needed boost without the jitters or crashes. It's like having a personal trainer in a tub! KAGED's pre-workout is my go-to, and it never disappoints. 💥🏋️‍♂️ #WorkoutFuel"
