advice against the pre-workout
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.
It is good to know that you are a fitness and body building enthusiast. I am as much of a gym freak guy as you are.
I would advice you against taking this pre workout because it contains caffeine.
Caffeine is a stimulant which causes nervousness and anxiety. Since you have a history of anxiety disorder in the past, this may be precipitated by the supplement
I would rather recommend you to have a caffeine free pre workout supplement for eg BSN NO XPLODE caffeine free
I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.

Dear Sir,
Pre workout supplements are known to cause a high and then a crash. this is true even for caffeine free supplements. They also cause jitteriness, constipation as a side effect. If you ask me a sincere opinion as a doctor, I would suggest you not to go for any pre-workout stimulants. rather you can have a whey protein drink with some dextrose, creatinine and glutamine in it and make your own pre-workout supplement. This is exactly what I do in my workouts and I have excellent results for lean muscle gain.
I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
