Studies have suggested it can improve reaction time, working memory (which is similar, but not exactly the same as short term memory), and perceptual memory (which involves interpreting and categorizing incoming stimuli).(4)(5)(6)(7) It would be weird if we just ignored the evidence that caffeine, while totally a stimulant, has plenty of links to focus as well. People are pretty sure it’s good during workouts too because the same hormones can be involved.Ī good dose is at least 500 milligrams (this is important because a lot of pre-workouts only have 100mg), but note that it may not be a good idea for people with hyperactive thyroids and it may block the uptake of some prescription drugs, so check with a doctor before getting started. There’s evidence for beneficial cognitive effects on people who are fighting through a cold, have been awake for ages, or have spent days in an intense military training course. Studies suggest it could potentially help with working memory, well-being, and perceptions of stress, but the strongest evidence is on cognition(1)(2)(3). Probably the most common “focus” ingredient, tyrosine is an amino acid that appears to be the most useful during times of stress, be it from work or a workout.

On top of the caffeine (or sometimes instead of it) the best pre-workouts include ingredients that are linked to better power, endurance, blood flow, and focus. And we’re not just talking about the caffeine. Yes, there are a lot of phony products in the health and fitness space but that doesn’t mean there’s no research supporting pre-workouts.
