MRE contains complex carbs (rolled oats, yams, sweet potato) to give you long lasting sustained energy.

Protein water is one of the newest ways you can add protein to your diet. It's made by mixing protein powder in water.
There is no doubt protein is good for you, it's one of the Four macronutrients your body needs in large amounts, protein fuels your muscles and your brain as well as regulates your hormones, digests food, repairs damage to the body, makes new cells, builds muscles, bones, cartilage, tissues and skin and also carries oxygen to the organs through your body via your blood.
What's the difference between protein water and protein powder?
Whey protein isolate (WPI) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) are pure dairy protein powders. Although they are the best source of protein for muscle building and recovery some people don't fancy a “milky” shake or isn't appropriate for dairy intolerant people.
The main difference and the reason people go for protein water is the taste! It's amazing, and because it's made from collagen, a different type of protein, it mixes clear and is easily flavored. Because of this we get protein water or what I like to call…. Protein cordial.
There are some good things but also downfalls with protein water which i will explain. Protein water has been proven to help rebuild damaged cells all over the body however, it doesn’t provide you with the necessary amino acid profile for adequate muscle tissue repair. So if your aim is to build muscle a Whey protein is better. That being said collagen is better for joints, hair, skin, nails and gut health in comparison to a whey protein.
Collagen also has really effective anti inflammatory effects on the body where as whey does not.
So if your aim is to increase your overall protein in a delicious way collagen is for you, otherwise if you're wanting to maximize muscle recovery and growth we opt for a whey protein, it's just not as delicious ;)
Thank you
Creatine is one of the most researched products in the supplement world. It has been found to increase the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is an essential source of instantaneous energy. A boost in ATP within the body can help increase lean muscle mass and strength, anaerobic capacity and output, explosiveness and power, brain function, and reduces muscle damage and supports recovery. Our body produces 1-2 grams of creatine, but to see great results we recommend 5 grams for female and up to 10 grams for males pre or post workout.
EHPlabs IsoPept is one of the highest quality whey protein and contains 27g hydrolysed whey protein isolate (WPI). By being a WPI it immediately replenishes your fatigued muscles post workout with rich nutrients for optimal muscle growth and recovery. IsoPept also contains ashwagandha and theanine to balance out those stress levels and anti-bloating digestive enzymes, so you aren’t left with an upset stomach which most proteins can give. Lastly, the flavours EHPlabs have in the IsoPept, they are all delicious, my favourite being chocolate decadence.
Faction Labs “Attention” is a pre-workout supplement made to increase your attention, focus, and mental cognition. It is an all-in-one nootropic. Nootropics are a natural and synthetic ingredient which has been found to boost mental stimulation to overall improve performance. It also contains caffeine anhydrous for an increase in energy and di-caffeine malate to control the after effect, so you are not left with a crash. This product ticks all boxes, supporting energy production and performance, cognitive function and memory, boosts alertness, concentration, and focus, enhances mood, and recovery whilst reducing fatigue and inflammation.
Ashwagandha is known to be one of the most important herbs used in today’s society of natural healing. It is used for multiple benefits such as, to relieve stress levels and anxiety, increase energy levels, improve concentration, and brain function, reduce inflammation and help improve sleep. I personally use ashwagandha, one tablet at night to help with sleep and stress levels, and I give it a solid 10/10.

Today we will be discussing and comparing Nutrition Industries top 3 selling pre-workouts for June 2023. They are Disorder from Factions labs, Notorious and Cross Eyed.
My Name is Heidi, and I will be breaking down the ingredients, dosages, as well as who and what the pre workout is for and best time to take it. So lets get into it:
Disorder: Disorder is a great all-rounder product, it can be used for multiple reasons such as sports, Athletics, swimming, gym, weights training and powerlifting. This pre workout stands out to me because of the wide range of ingredients in this product such as 3000mg of Citrulline Malate to give you a good pump, 1600mg Beta Alanine to help prevent muscle soreness and improve muscle endurance. It contains a perfect hit of caffeine dosed at 250mg and contains your key focus-based ingredients such as L-tyrosine, Alpha GPC.
Another benefit of Disorder is that you can consume this product in the morning, midday as well as late afternoon without the stimulates in the product affecting your sleep schedule. I believe overall this is one of THE best medium stimulant pre workout as well as being THE best tasting flavours also with THE widest flavour range!
Cross-eyed: Cross-eyed is a very well-known high stimulant pre workout with their caffeine dose at 325mg per scoop. It contains 2100mg of beta alanine which is defiantly enough to give you the tingles! This pre workout is most known for their eye-popping energy blend for people who like to take their workout to the next level. This pre-workout is not only good for its high caffeine dose, but it also contains a stack of your nootropic ingredients (focus-concentration) such as 500mg of L-tyrosine, 150mg green tea, 125mg L-phenylalanine, 50mg selenium tortuosum, 2.5mg Huperzia serrata. And on top all of that off, they’ve included 3000mg of Citrulline into it to give you a skin splitting pump!
Who is best suited to take this pre? I would suggest it to any powerlifter or weight trainer who loves high intensity workouts, this pre is definitely for them.
When do I take this? Being consumed in the morning – midday would be best suited as the caffeine levels are quite high and there are long lasting caffeine ingredients in the pre workout.
Notorious: Notorious is a very underrated product, and it is my personal favourite for a PR Day or a brutal leg day. This product has a lower dose of caffeine in it containing 175mg of caffeine. The reason why this product is so highly rated is because of the crazy stims in it such as some of the old school stuff which get you absolutely buzzing and a crazy strong mind muscle connection, insane focus and motivation to get it done and gives you that feel good energy. The stimulants in this product are long lasting, lasting up to 8+ hours giving you not only a good performance workout but leaves you feeling good after your workout ready to smash out the rest of your day!
Who is best suited to take this pre? I would suggest it to athletes, weight trainers, power lifters, swimmers.
When to take this? I would strongly suggest using this pre workout morning-midday as it would impact your quality of sleep.
So there you have it guys! My take on the Top 3 Pre-Workouts for June!
Heidi
