Pre-Workout Nutrients Dr. Lynch product Q&AUpdated 2 hours ago

Hi Anna -

Yes you may. Creatine is actually great during breastfeeding.

Hi Stephanie -

I am glad you still loved it. It was not easy for me to donate it but it just didn't hold up to the standards we have.

Ask my team to see if we still have some - and say you can have it for free :) Give them a call.

There is not much DIM in there especially at 1/4 of the suggested use so you'll be fine. The added DHEA offsets that for you.

Do keep in mind how you're feeling though as you are present with you and I'm not :)

If you have a big drop of estrogen after ovulation and find it hard to be calm and collected, that may be a big drop in serotonin as well. Consider Serotonin Nutrients after ovulation if you need healthy mood support for that time period.

Dr. Lynch

Hi Stephanie -

I hear you. It is a bummer. There was one ingredient in here that just ruined the consistency of the product so much that we had to donate it.

I have an even better formulation that I need to get made.

Consider:

• Testosterone Nutrients: 1 capsule for you after dinner and 2 capsules for him after dinner. This supports healthy blood flow and healthy testosterone levels.*
• Fish Oil: 1 capsule after dinner
• Optimal Electrolyte: 1 serving in the morning upon waking and another one sip during workouts. This has taurine, ATP, magnesium and creatine - all of which were present in the PreWorkout Nutrients.
• Immune Intensive: 1 serving for you after dinner and do for 2 weeks then stop.

Sauna! :)

Here's a guide on how best to sauna:

Hi Goldie -

I do think the Pre-Workout Nutrients would help but I am redoing the formulation.

For now, I'd like you to use a lozenge of Brain Nutrients just prior to working out along with a serving of Optimal Electrolyte.

This should make a big difference in supporting a healthy workout and healthy mood during.*

Hi Melissa -

It is not fizzy no -

The malic acid is more for tartness so it tastes better.

It's more like a very faint lemon taste - very dilute. Nice actually.

The powder is a bit thicker consistency than you're used to and that's due to the HydroPrime ingredient.

It still scoops and dissolves in water very well.

Have a great workout! You'll see :)

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Monica -

No niacin.

The feeling you had is like a niacin flush a bit. Tingling in the ears, warm sensation.

That's from the beta-alanine.

I suspect you were nervous about the feeling which then altered your breathing. Try using half the amount you used prior.

The beta-alanine is very supportive of healthy exercise performance.

People tend to get used to the beta-alanine over time. The first month of use is the most intense and then the tingling reduces considerably.

Hi Kate -

It's a supplement designed to support healthy performance while working out and the healthy recovery post-workout as well - the benefits align.*

It taking this, you will notice healthy recovery compared to not taking it.

That said, consuming protein post-workout is a must.

I like goat whey and some collagen.

I'm working on making both of these products for people as we speak.

You'll note that our pre-workout is non stim - it's simply designed for performance not a mental insane jolt.

The preworkout has an interesting consistency to it because of the HydroPrime - which is a glycerol based hydrating nutrient. It dissolves well in water and performs as designed.

Dr. Lynch

Hi Steph -

I'm glad to hear that the Vitamin D3 + K2 and Stress Nutrients are helping with your anxiety :).* That's great news!

There are no ingredients in the Pre-Workout Nutrients that would raise testosterone levels.

It does however help to preserve or build muscle, depending on the type of training you do. You are starting to get into the age bracket where this becomes important.

Here are some ways you can support your testosterone production:

• Resistance training such as weightlifting can boost testosterone short-term.
• High-intensity interval training can also do so.
• Not eating a low-fat diet as this may decrease testosterone.
• Reduce stress - you're already working on this one!
• Low vitamin D can be linked to low testosterone - you're already taking this :)

You may want to get your DHEA levels checked with your healthcare practitioner. This can often be a reason for low testosterone in women.

All the best :)

I noticed there are natural flavors in pre-workout nutrients. Everything I read says to avoid natural flavors. Please explain. We also use the electrolyte drink. Thank you!

Hi Jen -

The term of natural flavors has been seriously diluted along with organic.

Big food is to blame on this.

"You may have noticed that Seeking Health's flavored chewables, powders, liquids, and lozenges are flavored with "natural flavors", which is shown in the "Other Ingredients" of the product label. Here at Seeking Health quality and purity are of utmost importance to us. Dr. Ben Lynch only sources ingredients that he, himself, and his family would consume, resulting in some of the highest quality flavoring blends on the market.

"Natural flavors” found in Seeking Health products are flavoring constituents sourced from natural plants or microbial fermentation that serve as a taste enhancement.
Seeking Health does not add artificial flavors or colors to any of our supplements to maintain the purity and quality of the products you trust. These flavoring blends do not contain any of the eight Major Allergens (Milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy). Products with flavoring blends that contain these allergens must disclose this information on the labeling. Similarly, flavorings cannot claim to be free of animal products for a vegan lifestyle if their actual ingredients do not comply with that claim. Seeking Health aims to source flavoring blends that are free from GMO markers and tested for contaminants such as heavy metals and microbials.

Unlike artificial flavors, the flavoring must be derived from a plant, animal, animal byproduct, or fermentation byproduct obtained from 182.10, 182.20, 182.40, 182.50, part 184, or 172.510 of this chapter.” (FDA Electronic Code of Federal Regulations - 101.22).

Note that the FDA defines “natural flavor” as follows:

“The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. Natural flavors include the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants listed in 182.10, 182.20, 182.40, and 182.50 and part 184 of this chapter, and the substances listed in 172.510 of this chapter.” (FDA Electronic Code of Federal Regulations - 101.22)"

Hi CS -

You got it.

Here's what I recommend:

• Pre-Workout Nutrients: 1/2 to 1 serving 30 minutes prior to working out.
• Optimal Electrolyte: 1 to 3 servings a day as needed. I like having this in my water bottle when exercising or working in the yard. I also add a bit more table salt if I'm sweating a lot. 1/4 tsp = 500 mg of sodium roughly.

Enjoy the performance! Great combination :)

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Anna -

Expert, eh? We'll have to see what my wife thinks of that statement. :)

I like your pick of the Pre-Workout Nutrients.

Here's why:

• working out is incredibly difficult on the body - it's a stressor.
• insufficient nutritional support prior to, and during, and after, depletes the body of vital nutrients and causes it to malfunction.
• Pre-Workout Nutrients supports a healthy workout as it nutritionally supports your body before and during.*

Consider:

• Brain Nutrients: 1/2 to 1 lozenge upon waking in the morning to get your brain going in a healthy way.* You'll feel it within a minute.
• Pre-Workout Nutrients: 1/2 to 1 serving mixed in a glass of filtered water and drink 30 minutes prior to working out.
• Optimal Electrolyte: sip this periodically during your workout to support healthy hydration. If you're sweating a lot, add 1/4 tsp of salt which is 500 mg of sodium.
• after working out, have some protein right away - say 20 grams along with some carbs.
• keep an eye on your breathing technique while exercising as well. very important to be breathing and ideally nose breathing as much as you can.

Keep me posted.

Dr. Lynch

Hi Anna -

Yes you may.

Your baby benefits from creatine as well as creatine supports healthy brain development.

Hi Amanda -

Yes, this supplement is tested gluten-free. We are updating the allergen graphics across the site to be more clear.

Enjoy it! Sip it about 30 minutes prior to working out and if you want, you can finish it during your workout. It's best combined with Optimal Electrolyte.

Consider adding 1/4 tsp additional sodium (table salt) to Optimal Electrolyte if you're sweating a lot while working out.

Dr. Lynch

Hello Kerri,
There was an error in the graphic for this product page, the Pre-Work is suitable for vegan and vegetarians. It contains no materials sourced from animal products. We have also confirmed this with our manufacturer and material specifications.

Hi Brandon -

Great question.

The biggest issue with HydroPrime was when it was effervescent electrolytes.

That said, there is some mild clumping with the Pre-Workout Nutrients but it still dissolves very well once you scoop it and put into water.

In the next lot, we will remove the HydroPrime from the Pre-Workout Nutrients and use more creatine and adding in more arginine precursors.

The performance of the Pre-Workout Nutrients is still good to go and people are experiencing great results - so we are happy to keep offering it as is.

If we notice any issues, we will change our stance but as of now, it's performing well.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

Hi Gabriela -

They are derived from fruits using a fermentation process.

There is no MSG in it.

Despite the fermentation process, there is no histamine remaining.

I have histamine issues and do very well with this.

The flavor is also very very mild.

Dr. Lynch

Hi Adriana -

Yes, it's safe for her. Keep an eye on her blood pressure.

Low blood pressure is a common cause for falls in the elderly. Doctors often medicate and then walk away for months leaving their patients unmonitored.

Check her blood pressure and make sure it's not lower than 120/80

I'd look into our Joint Nutrients for her knees. She would take 1 capsule upon waking and 1 capsule before bed.

Dr. Lynch

Is this safe to take while breastfeeding very limitedly?

Hi Elizabeth -

Absolutely.

You may use as needed - no restriction needed.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

If I usually take creatine and l carnitine prior to working out do I still take that if I start using this?

Hi Kathleen -

You will not need to take either of those if you take this.

In health,
Dr. Lynch

What is the flavor?

Hi Paula -

It is a very, very mild lemonade flavor. One hardly tastes it - by design. It's very neutral and easy to drink.

In health,
Dr. Lynch
