Pre-Workout
Garth tried pre-workout. His face is buzzing. Is he dying? (No.)
In this episode
The real fact
Carnosine
Pre-workout has beta-alanine. Your muscles use it to build carnosine, a tiny two-amino-acid peptide that helps muscles keep going when they burn. The tingles are a normal, harmless side effect.
CARNOSINE
2 amino acids, built from beta-alanine
THE TINGLES
a normal, harmless side effect of beta-alanine
Comedy, not medical advice. Amino Falls never sells peptides or links to anyone who does. Each episode explains one real fact for general education. Nothing here is a recommendation to use anything. Talk to a doctor about your own health.

Coach Brick
Pre-workout, ladies! One scoop and you'll FEEL it!
Garth
I don't feel anything. Wait. My face. MY FACE IS fucking TINGLING!
Danny
Your face is vibrating.
Garth
Am I dying? Or turning into Wolverine? Which one, Theo?
Danny
Please be Wolverine.
Theo
Neither, you dumbass. Pre-workout has beta-alanine. Your muscles use it to build carnosine, a tiny two-brick peptide.
Theo
Carnosine helps your muscles keep going when they burn. The tingling is a normal side effect. It's harmless.
Garth
HARMLESS? Then I'm gonna run SO fast!
Pip(mumbled)
my spine
Coach Brick
That's the pump, son!
Theo
That is not the pump, Coach! That is a lawsuit!
Danny
So pre-workout feels like bees... because of a peptide.
Coach Brick
Pip! You missed your scoop!
Pip(mumbled)
...cool.
