There's a new category of energy drinks popping up in shops recently: the pre-workout drinks. These are usually 330ml cans with extra high caffeine content of around 200mg. You've got to be careful drinking these - please consume carefully or if you're particularly sensitive to caffeine then avoid and go for one of the regular energy drinks. This particular drink is from SCI-MX, the sports nutrition brand who mostly make protein supplements and similar products so I guess a pre-workout drink is on-brand. The original flavour I'm trying here is unusual - I was expecting some sort of Red Bull clone but what I actually got was a tangy sour fruit drink, possibly passion fruit? There's no clue on the can as to the flavour but it's certainly an interesting choice for the 'original' variety. Also in this can is 3g of citrulline malate... and yes, I'm Googling that right now... one second reader. Oh, ok... it's some sort of pre-workout supplement that delays the on-set of muscle fatigue. So I guess if you're about to run a marathon then it could be useful - I'm sure if you're already serious about supplements in your training plan then you'll already be taking this, so if you are then make sure you've considered that this drink already contains one of your doses.
