Transparent Labs is making some pretty serious waves in the supplement industry, and not just because their products are all free from artificial ingredients. This is the kind of company that takes transparency pretty darn seriously: not only do they provide certificates of analysis and authenticity on their website, but they also back up all their claims with links to published studies.

They have a large amount of pre-workouts on offer as well. We've tried the one designed for muscle gain and the one designed for fat loss, but the Transparent Labs Stim-Free Pre-Workout is pretty interesting as well. Of course, there are no stimulants. So what does it bring to the table?

If you're interested in power, the betaine and the creatine were both included on our science-backed list of supplements for boosting power. Tyrosine and taurine can both improve focus, with taurine also having some links to improved recovery because it can help draw more water into cells.

Beta alanine is another pre-workout stalwart that may help with endurance, while choline bitartrate can improve anaerobic endurance or short, high-intensity bursts of energy. The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) may help with muscle retention and focus during intense workouts, particularly if you're exercising on an empty stomach.

What about the doses? They're actually pretty darn solid in this Transparent Labs preworkout. Many pre-workouts contain ingredients that have a lot of research supporting them, but they don't include enough of them to produce the desired effects. Transparent Labs really does a great job in this regard, with the possible exception of branched chain amino acids which are dosed at 4 grams, while many feel 7 grams is a better bet.
