When I take a pre workout shake, like for example White Flood or Size on I get something like a sugar high that I don't crash off of, what is causing this? I have heard references on other threads talking about Beta Alanine and Niacin or something. I want to be able to describe the effects from the ingredients to my university friends, I can't just say broscience cause they are majoring in biochemistry and stuff and actually know about the compounds... What does what?
Sorry if this is poorly written or sounds noob, I just know some of you guys are alot more aware than me as to how this stuff actually works.

beta-alanine causing a crash? never heard of it. maybe the stimulants are causing your crash -- WF contains caffeine. and do you mean Superpump 250 instead of Sizeon? Sizeon doesn't have stimulants IIRC.
also, if your friends are majoring in biochem, shouldn't they know what each substances does or have the resources to find out instead of you having to tell them? i mean, it's good to know for your own benefit, but they shouldn't rely on you if that's their thingSponsored Muscle Pharm stack log:

you might have good results from WF because it is, IMO, a better product than NO-xplode, never tried horse power. and i don't know how much caffeine is in WF per se.
caffeine is not in all pre-WOs, but in a good majority of them. if you get crashes from pre-WOs containing caffeine, look into non-stim pre-WOs -- there are quality ones out there.Sponsored Muscle Pharm stack log:

I don't really crash, off any of them but I notice some work way better than other was curious as to what was different between the different supps, my biochem buds could probably tell me all about the compounds but I would like to be able to discuss it with them without sounding dumb...
and yes I meant Super Pump, I have just been reading up on Size on that was a mistake.
I was just thinking that maybe the beta alanine or something had something to do with the "sugar high" feeling I was unaware the effects were caffeine based.
