integrity and honesty is why I watch this man. Planning on having a stockist in the UK? Shipping makes it a little bit pricey.
Bought your pre-workout last week the best one I've had so far! Has a great pump with cracked out feeling and No crash thank you 🙏!
Where can I buy it ?
Good video Layne. Not that big fan of the product but I really appreciate the transparency, as expected from you.
Thanks @biolayne! Love the explanation and the ingredients!!
Definitely will look into your supplement line.. some of the people I follow for nutrition advice and workout advice I like to try their supplements to see if there is any difference in quality between them and something you’d buy at Walmart but good video again Layne.. I’ve learned alt since subscribing to your channel and watching videos
Bought some just now. Thanks Doc, can't wait to try it.
How was it???? Was it worth the money?
Super impressive formula! Definitely a premium/high-priced product, but love that it's simple and you didn't cut corners.
Premium priced? 40$ is cheaper than the standard for 20 scoops of a fully dosed pre most 45$ or 50$
@@thatjackal74 Lol that just means you're getting ripped off then.
Shillology 101
I wonder if Derek from MPMDs will cover this to compare his pre to yours.
@@eclecticbynature9375 that would be interesting. can't wait for the thumbnail.
@@Marta1Buck Title something like: Meathead Chemist vs Ph.d Pre Comparison
Did you consider including l theanin?
How do some of these adaptogens affect the stimulus from exercise? I'm thinking kind of like vitamin c blunts effects of exercise because it makes it less taxing on the body...
Very informative, I look forward to testing your product.
Thank u man , people should learn more from you
Hey man I love the transparency on this video! I also really like that there’s no creatine in this as that’s something you should add on your own if you want to do that over time and can actually get the cumulative benefits. You just got a sub and I’ll be being this to try it out!
deception trough truth
"i always say the truth even when i lie" joke tho
love the 10 second intro
Great👍 Had a couple of them separately at home. Mixed 'em up with some other stuff pre workout. I think I felt a bit more energy anyway 🏋️
I’m purchasing the pre-workout on 2 factors alone:
1.) reputable information that I cross checked
2.) your continual reinforcing that no supplement will compensate for poor sleep and nutrition.
We need more messaging like this.
Sean nawalni brought me here. Well deserved. Great info content
After seeing these comments and watching this video I think that I’ll order some soon thank you so much!!!
Just ordered some of your pre-workout pretty happy to find a good company selling what you actually need 🤙🏻
If there's beta alanine in a supplement, I won't take it. Makes me feel like I'm being devoured by spiders.
@sean tellier It varies from person to person. Unfortunately, I happen to be someone who gets more than just a tingly feeling.
Yes there is 3.2 grams like all products out there!
I love that feeling! 😂
Then there’s me who bought extra beta alanine to take with pre workout to get more of that feeling 😂.
Can't say I enjoy the feeling but it doesn't last that long for me, meanwhile my workouts have been ridiculously consistent on this stuff regardless of how tired I am.
I have thalassemia, which impairs energy production and has been getting worse as I age. So anything that can help me stay consistent is worth it's weight in gold.
After seeing this video I ordered this pre workout. I have been taking it for six days now before my workouts. I can absolutely with 100% complete honesty attest that everything Layne states in this video about his pre workout formula is accurate. This pre workout formula is nothing like any other I have tried and I tried about 9 others. The energy you feel from it is very different. The only way I can describe it is mellow energy NO over the top jacked up wired feeling BUT massive great energy. It also does give you that "good feeling" that he talks about. Its kind of hard to describe how great this product is. I am not affiliated in any way with Layne and I am not being paid for this endorsement, just wanted to point out that this is a real endorsement. I felt the need to tell it like it is because there are a lot of snake oil salesmen in the supplement industry just like all other industries. I assure you Layne is not one of them. Try this product you will not be disappointed, you can thank me later.
Shill!
Could you do a video on your recovery supplement as well Layne? I would be interested in trying both. I really like Rhodiola as well. I take it as a pre workout with a coffee before training quite often
I like the kaged stuff. It’s the only pre that hasn’t made me feel like trash.
Jim Stoppani said the exact same thing when he came out with his supplement line. He even said dont buy those proprietary blends because that might the company trying to pull one over on you
What's the ratio on the citrulline malate? Usually if it's not specified, I'll just assume it's 1:1 but would hope you did 2:1?
Gr8 product man. Pls make it available in India man. 👍👍🔥🔥💪💪💪
Hi Dr Norton,
Really love your channel and i have been a follower of your teachings and theories for over a decade. I have question about one specific ingredient which is the L-DOPA that you added in your pre-workout. Do you think that it is safe to use L-DOPA regularly especially if you are someone like myself that takes pre-workout 4 to 6 times weekly. I have done extensive research on it and found that it has major side effects if taken regularly. As you may already know L-DOPA is used for Parkinson's and has also been reported to cause psychological effects if taken for a long period even at small dosages of 100-150mg. Can you elaborate on this matter and specifically what your thoughts are on L-DOPA.
thank you
How does this compare to carbon? I loved it
id buy this if it wasnt for the caffeine. Youre right about rhodiola though. its awesome. been on it for 2 years mostly for cortisol control. (ties with caffeine sensitivity i think) tried to cut it out just to see and only saw negatives.
Thoughts on nitrates in pre workouts? Sodium potassium nitrate etc or even beet root
I've never used any kind of supplements, and at this point in my training I don't think I really need them. But if I would ever consider to use them. Yours are my first pick. No questions asked.
Thank you
I appreciate any dosage of l-theanine if it’s equivalently dosed with caffeine because I find it does reduce the negative aspects of caffeine… but I honestly love the crash from caffeine alone. I workout late at night so if I go hard for two hours, the best feeling is to smash that pillow and pass out right away.
Any plans to do an intra-workout? Can't wait to try this pre. After years of following, I don't trust anyone in this field more than you, and confidently feel like your products will be worth my hard earned cash. Thanks man.
Thoughts on agmatine sulfate in pre workout products?
Hey! Just picked up this pre-workout… any thoughts on taking this before cardio, such as a 5k run on treadmill?
Thanks!
Hey, maybe a late comment but I have an important question about caffeine. I am taking my pre workout 2 times a week. You said that you have 300 mg of caffeine in it and that you should have 300-400 mg. I am 17 years old and I only have 200 mg caffeine pills. Should I take 2 of them or can I split one pill into 2 so I can take one and a half?
Would appreciate an answer!
If that matters, my pre workout includes:
L-Citrulline 5g
L-Theanine 300 mg
L-Tyrosine 3g
(Koffein 200 mg)
Thoughts about STEM-free pre-workouts?
what's your thoughts on people using your pre workout label to make their own DIY pre workout?
what do you think about creatine nitrate and arginine nitrate and bcaa nitrate? this creatine is most effective form ever.Regards from Poland
Good video but i disagree with the Beta Alanine part. All of the studies ive read say it doesnt have any imidiate effect on performance, you have to take it over time and saturate your muscles, same as creatine. Even when you do that it only gives small benefits to HIT style workouts or sets lasting longer than 60 seconds. But hey, everyone can decide for themself if its worth the extra price and the itchy feeling.
For those willing to shell out the money, getting everything on Amazon individually in bulk cuts serving cost. I can get each ingredient for $140 total pre tax, or about $14 per 20 servings (his pre has 20 servings and cost $39.99 from what I saw online)
Is there a caffeine free version? I work graveyards and lift after my shift , then I usually go bed after around 3 hours after my work out !
Totally agree with leaving out Creatine. Creatine and Citrulline give me brain clog. Lol. But I love the 6mg Citrulline.
Still waiting for outwork to be able to ship to Singapore :x
The Tropical Candy is BOMB! The flavor is very very unique!..The only con is the color. So I just put one pack of Sugar Free Tropical Punch Kool-Aid...in product container and shake it up! Then when I mix it up it has a slight red to it!
Who cares about the flavor.. Does it get you jacked
Would this be good for boxing? Sparring in particular?
Layne what r ur thoughts on multi vitamins alot of Ppl say they're not worth it because the body can't absorb all the vitamins simatounsely and some of them cancel each other
They give you very expensive urine
This is true. Most of them are not absorbable. Try eating eggs, oysters, and beef liver - it’ll cure your deficiencies.
Next video on citrulline malate vs l arginine?
Do the same video for the recovery one
Next week 💪🏻
@@biolayne1 omg thanks
N.O. Xplode for the win!
Arginine, caffeine, creatine, beta alanine, citrulline malate, taurine, vitamins, etc

Is this good for keto and does this have and added sugars
I think you meant 150 mg caffeine and not 1500 mgs 😂 I've always thought that about putting creatine in pre-workouts though, seems pointless as a one off and most serious gym goers will likely already take creatine and pre-workout should be more of a secondary supplement. Me personally, I just stick with caffeine for heavy workouts on top of my daily creatine
The ultimate forbidden pre
Hi Layne. Currently in NZ, how do I get some of your products?
Can you use pre workout and your recovery product during a fast?
Re-stocking soon? Shipping worldwide?
Every prework out I have ever had makes me nauseous - headaches and sometimes vomiting. Any ideas on what I could be allergic/intolerant to! It’s not beta alanine or caffeine dosage as I have used preworkout without BA and have energy drinks with 150mg of caffeine. TIA
What is citrulline malate ratio ?
Wish you sold them in europe, but its mainly caffeine that i require so easy accessible everywhere.
I'm sold
Just tried to buy from you, but no shipping option to UK or Europe. Is that a mistake? It sounds from other comments like people were able to ship to the UK previously
Unfortunately not available in the UK. Any good alternatives?
Hi Layne, what are your thoughts of L-Tyrosine in pre-workouts?
It’s great, I have actually used l tyrsoine itself as a pre workout how much I used to like it
Was that study on citrulline malate or L-citrulline?
Google shows
Can you link the studies/papers?
Thanks a lot for not including creatine! It exacerbates my hair loss (if you're prone to MPB you should also stay away from it unless you're on a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like finasteride), so I haven't been able to use any pre-workouts blends before
I really wish you would skip the stimulant (caffeine) though, since a lot of people work out in the evenings and it has a 6hr half life. But hey, I guess no size fits all.
Also love the transparency on the ingredients.
This comment is extra comical due to the video he posted today.
@@mrw9216 it’s actually not comical. Creatine increases my DHT by a whole lot and I have labs to prove it. I’ve done this experiment more than a few times. Just cause there aren’t that many studies on this it doesn’t mean that it’s not a real thing for some people.
There’s a stim free option now
@@karlmicx Anecdotal, so “what can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence”. Which means this would be an entirely pointless debate. 👍🏼
@@mrw9216 pointless unless it affects you. There are lots of unknowns in the science world. We’re at the very beginning stages of information era. Before there was proof that cocaine is dangerous it didn’t mean that it wasn’t.
Bruh! It’s sold out! When will we be back in stock? ALSO, how come I’ve noticed that pre-workout is great for heavy lifting but causes me to get winded more quickly during HIIT or Trail Running? Is it due to the caffeine possibly pre-raising my heart rate? Just something I’ve noticed: better performance in gym; worse performance in exercise causing my heart rate to remain at a higher level.
How can i buy your supplements?
Will you be releasing a caffeine free version ? I'm hyper sensitive to caffeine and 300 mg would cause serious insomnia for me even if I took this first thing in the morning.
Canadian Protein .com has all those ingredients and you could make your own with less caffiene. Just make sure you mix it with something other than water if you do.
gorilla mode nitric is my go to
You should buy Citruline, Tyrosine, Caffeine and whatever else you want seperatly. It will be cheaper and you can control your caffeine intake
What’s the ratio of the citrulline?
Where can you buy
This pre ?
Is l-dopa equivalent to l-tyrosine or it is completely another thing?
Doc can we have a update please
Anyone has tried it and whats your experience? Do you ship in australia? Thanks
I do my own blend. First 3 ingredients included in simmilar doses. i will try the this 2 more stuff. Cant buy yours because You knew, Europe.
Anyone know how to get his sups in the EU?
could you do an update on this video?
Why Citrulline malate over L-citrulline?
And your tub of pre-work out I noticed that you have a break down here of supplemental fax as to watch in a scoop. How can you determine because there is no difference in color in the different supplements that are in this how much of each one you’re getting when you take a scoop in this tub and remove it you can’t see the color difference in the elements, so how do you know you’re getting so much of that one thing that you say is a percentage of a scoop in all these different supplements that are in supposedly disturb.
Rhodiola is an adaptogen which requires time for it to have an effect. Why not the creatine then.
A lot of people get major stomach pains when taking creatine before working out. Taking it after working out reduces/eliminates that stomach pain.
Why would you pick citruline malate over L-citruline?
I'd love to buy your preworkout. However, it's not available in my country. I have been looking everywhere for a good preworkout and there's not way to get one that's not underdosed or has shady ingredients in Romania. Oh well, I'll stick to coffee I guess.
Your old pre-workout (that was quite some time ago) contained betaine which is a proven and effective ingredient. Why did you ditch it and replaced it with beta-alanine?
beta alanine is more effective
@@liamherringer3626 that is not at all true. the real reason he left it out is because he moved the betane to his recovery formula, which doesn't make a ton of sense seeing as Betane is proven to have an immediate effect on power output and endurance, unlike beta alinine.
What do you think about i am fucked up joker edition?
Why do you add beta-alanine if this works by acumulation, right? So, you need to take enough amount of days to feel the benefits
Beta alanine provides an acute response. From my experience, the "less used to it" you are, the more you feel it kicking in. To me, beta alanine is the "signal" that my pre workout has kicked in.
I don't have to watch a biolayne video to know its gonna be good. Thank you for not adding creatine mono. The water retention I experience is extremely uncomfortable for me...especially as a woman.
does caffeine lose effectiveness over time for performance the way it does for alertness if you don't take a break every now and then?
I formulate my own pre-workout so I can manipulate what's in it. From my experience, a shitty one, yes it does lose effectiveness overtime. I went for as up to 600mg and it didn't feel like I had anything. Decreased it to 400 for a week, then 200 for another week, then went free for 4 days. Then shot back for 300, felt like the first time I ever drank coffee. My humble advice is to stay caffeine free during your rest days, or take off caffeine 4 days every 2 weeks. You can try and add L-Theanine to your caffeine if you feel like it does nothing to you. But don't go Rich Piana mode like I did. Especially when you're 5'7" and 150 lbs.
Cdetaine added in there just a filler should take it separately added to the preworjout
Not bad price was expecting higher
What about protein?
You didn’t mention the dosage of Beta Alinine
Uh I look for high amounts of dmha and dmaa 😳❤️
Is there even research supporting the idea of PWOs increasing long term muscle and strength gains? It all seems like speculation based on acute effects.
How much sugar does it contain
I think prop blends can be acceptable as long as the caffeine amount is shown, that can make a big difference to the weight of the blend
No they aren't. If you just want your water to change color and taste good then proprietary blends are fine. If you actually want an effective pre-workout you need to know what you're taking because many proprietary blends are dosed so low they're completely useless.
If it wasn’t banned, would you add DMAA to your preworkout?
I hope he wouldn't lol. There's a reason it's banned.
Why is it banned? I never really looked into it, only that people who were abusing it ie. taking it and doing intense cardio were having heart issues. I used it for a few months a few years back and honestly loved it lol.
@@zacharyhorne4884 according to the fda it narrows your blood vessels and arteries which may cause cardiovascular problems such as shortness of breath, arrhythmias, tightening in the chest, and heart attack, as well as seizures. And it also can cause other neurological and psychological problems.
@@zacharyhorne4884 actually I just looked bit more into it and it seems that some PhDs in the field and a some studies claim that for low dosages it's still effective (but obviously less) and is unlikely to cause problems. So idk maybe it's not that bad if you're not abusing it.
That being said the study I saw was funded by a company that sells dmaa... And I still thinks that if the fda decided to ban it there's a good reason for it but I don't actually know much about it.
@@tomerwolberg37 That's always been my philosophy behind it but I won't sit here and pretend to be a professional when discussing the product, because I'm certainly not. I'm just a guy who has an average understanding of health supplements and loves pre-workout. I understand that while taking stimulants you should probably avoid high heart rate cardio sessions. That being said, when I took pre-workout that had (what I believe to be around 40mg) DMAA in it, it was truly the more satisfying product. I have never felt as good during my lifting sessions as I have with that pre-workout (Mesomorph) and have been searching to find a product to give me those "feels" again. The closest I could get to it currently is Amped AF from Steel Supplements and even then that product doesn't come close to the indescribable experience I had with DMAA lol. Currently taking Gorilla Mode from Gorilla Mind and it is a very handsomely dosed product. I plan on trying Lane's formula once my Gorilla Mode is finished up as while his dosing isn't what Gorilla Mode is, it does have a interesting composition, specifically the L-DOPA and Rhodiola.
Why not use citrulune rather that Malate ? Cost ?
The malate actually has benefits, too, not just the citrulline. And citrulline malate itself has studies showing benefits
The secret ingredient was an amphetamine like compound 🤣 bring back OG Craze. But I ordered this anyways since it’s probably the best that’s out there atm.
You don't ship to the UK, I don't suppose you can recommend any pre-workout that has the same quality in the UK?
We do ship to the uk
@@biolayne1 "We currently ship from the USA to Canada and Australia.
We no longer ship to the UK due to Brexit and the new VAT tax requirements."
DMAA plox
While you are speaking it would be great of you kept a picture of your Ingredients
But I thought beta alanine, like creatine, had no acute effects.
It has small acute effects but in order to get the max benefits you need to consistently take it. Great point
So I'm a bit confused here. You said you didn't want to put creatine in the pre because it doesn't have an immediate effect, which I 100% get and personally I prefer that as well, but you then put Beta-Alanine in the pre, which doesn't grant an immediate performance boost because, like Creatine, it has to be built up in your body to a saturation of 179 grams, typically over a period of one month, before a lot of the effects and benefits you mentioned in the video even come into play. I guess I'm just confused why you would add one but not the other, especially when Beta-Alanine has the annoying side effect of jitters and itching which can be quite distracting during a workout.
If all advertisements were this straightforward, I would actually enjoy commercials. You're presenting you're product and telling us exactly why you made it... of course I'm open to trying it out. It's the people who try and hide stuff and distract me with random promises as if I'm supposed to believe you just because you're a big company or have pretty packaging.. Ok I'm done ranting lol
Imagine if US politicians were as straightforward. It’s really because straightforward doesn’t sell as strongly as flash and vaporware.
Sadly, that is the marketing that works.
