How to choose the right pre-workout (and why you should go for the one from Happyness Food)

A good pre-workout can transform your workouts: more energy, focus, power, and better resistance to fatigue. But with the jungle of formulas available, how can you find the ideal product to achieve your goals without hassle or side effects? Here are our key tips, followed by a focus on our exclusive Happyness Food formula.


1. Check the key ingredients and their dosages

To assess the effectiveness of a pre-workout, start by looking at the list of active ingredients and their quantity per serving :

Ingredient Dosage / serving (6.5 g) Main role
Beta-Alanine 1,600 mg Delays lactic acid buildup, reduces muscle fatigue
Creatine monohydrate 1,500 mg Increases strength and power, promotes ATP synthesis
L-Arginine HCl 1000 mg Nitric oxide precursor, improves blood flow and muscle pump
L-Tyrosine 200 mg Improves concentration and stress management during training
Caffeine 190 mg Stimulates the central nervous system, increases alertness and endurance
Vitamin C, B3, B6, B9, B12 from 1.43 mg to 2 µg Support for energy metabolism, antioxidant protection and recovery

Tip: Choose dosages close to those scientifically recognized as effective (for example, 1,600 mg of beta-alanine or 3–5 mg/kg of caffeine) rather than “under-dosed” formulas.


2. Prioritize quality and transparency

  • Traceability of ingredients : choose brands that clearly indicate the origin (Creapure® creatine, anhydrous caffeine, natural vitamins, etc.).

  • No questionable additives : avoid artificial colors, fast sugars or excess maltodextrin.

  • Third-party labels and audits : a guarantee of trust (GMP, Informed-Sport, etc.).

Our Happyness Food pre-workout uses premium raw materials and a short list of safe sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame K) for a pleasant taste profile without overloading with empty carbohydrates.


3. Adapt the formula to your needs and tolerance

  • Beginner or low caffeine tolerance : Look for a formula containing 100–150 mg of caffeine, or one that offers a “half scoop.”

  • Endurance goal : focus on moderate stimulants and nitric oxide boosters (e.g., L-citrulline, L-arginine).

  • Strength/power goal : High creatine intake (3–5 g per serving) is key.

With 190 mg of caffeine and 1,500 mg of creatine , our product is in the sweet spot for most intermediate to advanced athletes. You can start with a half dose to test your sensitivity before increasing.


4. Taste, solubility and texture

A pre-workout should offer:

  • A pleasant taste and not too syrupy

  • Fast dissolution , without lumps

  • A light texture , avoiding stomach “filling”

The Happyness Food formula comes in several fruity flavors, tested to melt instantly in fresh water, neither too sweet nor patient.


5. Safety and side effects

  • Avoid overdosing on stimulants : never exceed the indicated daily dose.

  • Contraindications : pregnancy, hypertension, known sensitivity to caffeine.

  • Cycling : Remember to take breaks (4–6 weeks of use, then 1–2 weeks off) to maintain your tolerance.

Our recommendation: 1 dose (6.5 g) dissolved in 250 mL of water, 20–30 minutes before the session, no more than 1 time per day.
