How much caffeine is in Stigma Pre-Workout?

Each scoop of Stigma Pre-Workout contains 325mg of caffeine anhydrous plus di-caffeine malate for a dual-source caffeine system. That's a high-caffeine pre-workout built for serious lifters who want fast-hitting energy with a smooth, longer-lasting drive. Start with a half scoop to assess tolerance.

Is Stigma a pre-workout without beta alanine?

Yes, Stigma Pre-Workout is formulated without beta alanine, so you get zero tingles and zero itchy skin. We use agmatine sulfate, taurine, and alpha yohimbine for focus and intensity instead. If you've been searching for the best pre-workout without beta alanine, Stigma is dosed exactly for that.

Why does pre-workout make you itchy?

That tingling or itchy sensation is called paresthesia, and it's caused by beta alanine, a common pre-workout ingredient. It's harmless but uncomfortable for many lifters. Stigma Pre-Workout leaves beta alanine out entirely, so there's no itch, no tingle, just clean energy and pumps.

When should I take Stigma Pre-Workout?

Take Stigma Pre-Workout 20 to 30 minutes before training. Mix one scoop with 8-10 oz of cold water on an empty stomach for fastest absorption, or with a light snack if you're sensitive to caffeine on an empty stomach. Avoid taking within 6 hours of bedtime.

How long does pre-workout last?

Stigma Pre-Workout typically lasts 3-4 hours depending on your caffeine tolerance, body weight, and meal timing. The dual caffeine system (caffeine anhydrous plus di-caffeine malate) gives you an instant hit followed by a smoother, longer-lasting drive that avoids the sharp crash most pre-workouts cause.

How much pre-workout should I take?

Start with one scoop, the clinical dose for our full formula. If you're new to pre-workout or sensitive to stimulants, start with a half scoop to assess tolerance. Do not exceed one scoop in any 24-hour period due to the 325mg caffeine content.

Can I take Stigma Pre-Workout every day?

Yes, Stigma Pre-Workout is safe for daily training use when taken as directed. For best results, cycle off every 6-8 weeks to reset caffeine tolerance. We also recommend taking rest days from pre-workout when you're not training hard.

Does pre-workout expire?

Yes, pre-workout typically has a 2-year shelf life from the manufacture date when stored in a cool, dry place. Check the expiration date printed on the bottom of your Stigma tub. Expired pre-workout may lose potency but isn't dangerous to consume.

What are the side effects of pre-workout?

Common pre-workout side effects include jitters, rapid heartbeat, digestive discomfort, and the classic beta alanine itch. Stigma is formulated to minimize these: no beta alanine means no tingle, the dual caffeine system means no crash, and the transparent label means you always know exactly what you're taking.

What does Stigma Pre-Workout taste like?
