{"product_id":"5150-legendary-series-pre-workout-blue-ice","title":"5150 Legendary Series Pre-Workout Blue Ice | 384 Grams | 5% Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003e5150 Pre-Workout Blue Ice by 5% Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you an experienced athlete who is used to caffeine? Then you probably already know the name 5150. This \u003cstrong\u003epre-workout\u003c\/strong\u003e by 5% Nutrition is made for experienced athletes who are used to stimulants. One scoop contains over 400mg of caffeine from seven sources, 4000mg of L-citrulline and 2000mg of taurine. The Blue Ice flavor is fresh and sweet, a bit like a blue water ice pop on a warm summer day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the name 5150 comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich Piana chose the name deliberately. In America, 5150 is the police code for someone who is temporarily admitted because they are no longer in control of themselves. Quite a wink, then. He wanted to make it clear that this is not a product for beginners, but a formula for the real stim lover. And you can see that on the label. While many pre-workouts contain around 150 to 300mg of caffeine per serving, 5150 goes well beyond that. A high stim pre-workout in the literal sense of the word. Good to know: the manufacturer therefore recommends starting with half a scoop first. This way you can see how your body reacts before you go for the full serving. If you normally drink little coffee, then this simply is not the right tub for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeven types of caffeine in one scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe largest part comes from caffeine anhydrous (350mg), anhydrous caffeine. In addition, it contains dicaffeinemalate. That is caffeine linked to malic acid. Cacao alkaloids provide theobromine, a family member of caffeine from the cocoa bean. The rest comes from green tea, yerba mate, guarana and green coffee beans. Many athletes wonder how much caffeine is in a pre-workout. With 5150, that is over 400mg per scoop, from seven different sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCitrulline, beta-alanine and taurine alongside the caffeine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pre-workout is not just about caffeine. L-citrulline (4000mg) is an amino acid that also occurs naturally in watermelon. Beta-alanine (2500mg) is a non-essential amino acid. The tingling sensation on your skin after a scoop comes from the beta-alanine. That is called paresthesia and it is harmless. You probably know taurine (2000mg) from energy drinks. It is an amino acid-like substance that your body also produces itself and which is very common in muscle tissue. It is a regular guest in formulas with a lot of caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTyrosine, choline and two B vitamins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, each scoop contains 750mg of N-acetyl-L-tyrosine. That is the amino acid tyrosine with an extra acetyl group (a small molecular appendage), which makes it dissolve better in water. Each scoop contains 195mg of choline from 500mg choline bitartrate. Choline bitartrate consists of approximately 40% choline. 1000mcg of vitamin B12 and 30mg of niacin are added to that. Vitamin B12 contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. With one scoop, you are well above the daily reference intake for both vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes 5150 Blue Ice different from an average pre-workout with caffeine is mainly the honesty of the label. Every substance is listed with an amount, including the seven caffeine sources. No secret blend, then. But a hefty dose, and a blue ice flavor that goes down perfectly with cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"5% Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Blue Ice","offer_id":54999458939218,"sku":"5Nutrition-001","price":41.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/5Nutrition-001.jpg?v=1791539865","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/5150-legendary-series-pre-workout-blue-ice","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
