# Why Did My Pre-Workout Clump?

# **Why Did My Pre-Workout Clump?**

Pre-workout products have amino acid ingredients & their derivatives like citrulline, arginine, beta-Alanine, agmatine sulfate, betaine anhydrous, creatine, etc. These ingredients are hygroscopic – which means they attract moisture from the air and can clump together to form granules.

## **How Do I prevent My Pre-Workout From Clumping?**

- Keep the silica gel pack inside the container. This little pack protects your pre-workout by attracting moisture, helping to minimise clumping.

- Use your pre-workout within weeks of opening, and shake or stir once or twice a week if not used too often.

- Store your pre-workout in a cool, dry place away from the bathroom or kitchen. However, if you live in a hot & humid area, you can store your pre-workout in the refrigerator.

## **How To Fix My Pre-Workout If It Clumped?**

You can:

- Give the container a good shake.

- Break the clumps with a steel fork or knife.

- Put the powder in a blender and blend. Then you can return the powder to the container.

## **Are Clumpy Pre-Workouts Still Safe To Use?**

100% Yes.

It is by no means that the product quality or effectiveness has been compromised. As we have learnt, it is completely normal and occurs because of the natural hygroscopic ingredients used.
