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?

Stigma Pre-Workout comes in five flavors: Strawberry Dragonfruit (smooth tropical red pre-workout), Grape Candy Blast (bold purple pre-workout with candy edge), Baja Burst (zesty lemon lime green pre-workout), Sour Lemonade (sharp sour pre-workout with real citrus bite), and Sour Cotton Candy (nostalgic cotton candy pre-workout with a sour kick). All flavors mix clean with no chalky texture, no chemical aftertaste, and no artificial candy overload.

What is creatine and what does it do?

Creatine is a compound your muscles store and use to regenerate ATP, which is the energy your body burns through during short, explosive efforts like a heavy set or a sprint. Daily supplementation keeps your muscle stores topped up. Translation: more strength, more reps in the tank, more power, more lean muscle over time. STIGMA's is 100% pure micronized monohydrate. Nothing else in the tub.

How much creatine should I take per day?

5 grams a day, every day. One rounded scoop. You can load (20g a day split into four doses for the first week) if you want faster results, but it's not necessary. Steady 5g gets you fully saturated in 3–4 weeks. There's no benefit to cycling off.

When is the best time to take creatine?

Doesn't really matter. What matters is taking it every day. Some research gives post-workout a small edge from the insulin response, but morning, pre-workout, or before bed all work. Plenty of lifters dump it straight into their pre-workout scoop and never think about it again.

Does creatine cause hair loss?

No. The hair loss story traces back to one 2009 rugby study that measured a DHT-related marker — not actual hair loss — and the result has never been replicated. Creatine also doesn't cause acne or kidney damage in healthy adults. It's one of the most-studied supplements on the planet. If you already have a kidney condition, ask your doctor first.

Does creatine make you bloated?

You'll gain 2–5 lbs in the first few weeks. It's water inside your muscle cells, not fat. That intramuscular water is what makes muscles look fuller and perform better. The puffy "skin bloat" some people complain about fades in 2–3 weeks as your body adjusts. Pure mono like STIGMA's causes less of it than the cheaper blends do.

How long does creatine take to work?

On 5g a day with no loading, real strength gains show up around the 3–4 week mark. Load it (20g daily for 5–7 days) and you'll feel it inside a week. STIGMA is pure micronized mono — nothing in the powder slowing absorption, so it saturates as fast as creatine can.
