James Ellis, women’s specialist nutritionist and health coach explains: “Pre-work out supplements are designed to do three things; to increase performance, increase energy and delay fatigue. It’s in these cases that a pre-workout supplement can be of some use.” If you are looking to introduce a workout supplement into your routine, it may be worth finding out a bit more about what to look for and whether they’re right for you, which is where expert advice can help, so we’ve asked Ellis to share his insights and recommendations on which supplements to choose, from Vivo Life to MyProtein. “These small increases in performance might be imperceptible unless you’re at the front end of a sport, so consider the cost vs impact before purchasing a supplement.” What are the best workout supplements for women? While a Google for “women’s pre work out supplements” delivers almost eight million hits, Ellis says it’s vital women don’t blithely take supplements without looking at the benefits they may be getting from them.
