We\u2019re going to take you through the ingredients in our new pre-workout and highlight how these can benefit both your performance and recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Article by PhD Nutrition<\/em><br><strong>The Benefits of Caffeine<\/strong><br>Caffeine can exert ergogenic effects on exercise performance by acting on the central nervous system by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. Caffeine enhances focus, alertness, reaction time, and concentration(1) and reduces the perception of effort and pain during exercise. It\u2019s also well established that acute caffeine supplementation at a dose of 3-6 mg\/kg body weight enhances various aspects of physical performance, including power output, time to exhaustion, sprint speed, repeated sprint performance and strength(1,12,13). PhD Pre-Workout + Collagen (with caffeine) provides 200 mg per serving, a dose shown to be effective in the scientific literature.<br><strong>Benefits of L-Taurine<\/strong><br>Taurine is an amino acid that plays a role in a range of physiological processes that can influence exercise performance, including calcium handling, ATP turnover (the release of energy), and the reduction of blood pressure. It\u2019s been shown in several studies to enhance endurance performance and reduce muscular fatigue during strength exercise when consumed at a dose ranging from 1-6g daily(15). PhD Pre-Workout matches this dose by providing 1g of l-taurine per serving.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/Man_Lifting_Weights_Preworkout_Blog_PhD.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/Man_Lifting_Weights_Preworkout_Blog_PhD.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/Man_Lifting_Weights_Preworkout_Blog_PhD-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/Man_Lifting_Weights_Preworkout_Blog_PhD-768x488.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>The Benefits of Collagen<\/strong><br>Collagen represents one of the most abundant proteins in the human body and is a predominant component of muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Given its role as a building block in these tissues, supplementation with collagen has been explored within sports science for a range of potential athletic performance benefits.<br>To date, randomised trials found improvements in tendon properties(4), accelerated recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage(3), and improvements in joint pain and function(8) with chronic collagen supplementation.<br><strong>Benefits of Leucine<\/strong><br>Leucine represents an essential amino acid that plays a key role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, a process, alongside muscle protein breakdown, that determines changes in muscle mass. Leucine should be consumed in a range of 700-3000mg(16) in a meal or drink with other essential amino acids to maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Our new PhD Pre-Workout + Collagen contains 3000 mg of leucine per serving to have a potent effect on stimulating protein synthesis.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/image-69d3956ddb9b3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/image-69d3956ddb9b3.png 768w, https:\/\/fcartwordpress.blob.core.windows.net\/fircartcontainer\/2026\/04\/image-69d3956ddb9b3-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Why a Caffeinated and Non-Caffeinated Version?<\/strong><br>PhD Pre-Workout + Collagen comes in two versatile versions to bring you the best of two worlds:<br>The caffeinated version is perfect for those early and mid-day workout sessions, where the extra caffeine provides an additional boost in mental and physical performance.<br>The non-caffeinated version is better suited for evening sessions when you still want to perform, but without the extra boost that may negatively impact sleep quality, and therefore, recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fitcart believes in True Play and Clean Sport<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-4f438b2b24d282d3320f7b5182a65345\">#trustedbrandsbetterhealth<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is in our new PhD Pre-Workout + Collagen?And why should you take it?Pre-workouts are a great way to give yourself a much-needed boost to support your performance during your next workout, whether that\u2019s an intense weightlifting workout, a high-intensity interval training session, or a long endurance session on the bike or running.However, to ensure [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[396],"tags":[403,399,405,407,406,402,398,400,404,397,401],"class_list":["post-244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-collagen","tag-collagen-benefits-for-fitness","tag-collagen-pre-workout-supplement","tag-energy-and-endurance-supplement","tag-joint-support-supplement","tag-muscle-recovery-supplement","tag-performance-booster-supplement","tag-phd-pre-workout-collagen","tag-pre-workout-ingredients","tag-pre-workout-supplement-india","tag-pre-workout-with-collagen","tag-workout-energy-supplement"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244\/revisions\/249"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fitcart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
