5 Best Pre-Workouts for Pregnant Women

One of the most common questions we field here at Best Price Nutrition, as well as in our retail shops is the question of whether Pregnant Women can take Pre-Workout Supplements, where there are any safe pre-workouts for pregnant women, and if so what pre-workout supplements would be the best fit for pregnant women. 

We recently did a blog post on this topic and answered the question of whether pregnant women can take pre-workout supplements, if you didn't catch that one you can read it here. In short, most experts state pregnant women can safely take between 150mg and 300mg of caffeine without negatively affecting their pregnancy, though the American Pregnancy Association does recommend pregnant women should avoid caffeine as much as possible. We would recommend pregnant women consult with their physicians on this topic, and should you decide that you'd like to take a pre-workout supplement, we've compiled a list of The 5 Best Pre-Workouts for Pregnant Women which you can view below.

Zhou LIte Up Xtra is a great option for pregnant women. It contains a moderate 100mg of clean natural caffeine sourced from green tea, about the equivalent of a cup of coffee. Zhou Lite Up Xtra alsofeatures ingredients for pumps, blood flow and endurance. Zhou also is flavored with natural flavors, features Stevia instead of artificial sweeteners and uses vegetable juice for colors instead of artificial dyes.

Rule 1 Roar Preworkout is another great option for pregnant women. In addition to being very cost effective at just $21.99 for a 30 serving tub it features a relatively moderate 175mg of caffeine. Roar also contains moderate dosages of creatine, citrulline for pumps, beta alanine for a bit of the tingles and an electrolyte blend among other ingredients. If you're looking for a cost effective preworkout with a moderate amount of caffeine and stims Roar is a great option.

NutraBio's Amino Kick technically is a caffeinated amino supplement but many use it as a preworkout.

Amino energy features 160mg of a Energy and Focus Blend which contains 100mg of caffeine per two scoop serving, if you want even less caffeine you can take a single scoop which will provide just 50mg of caffeine, about that of a cup of tea.

Allmax ACuts is a long time favorite among those who like lower stim preworkouts. Allmax ACuts is somewhat similar to energized amino supplements like Amino Energy and NutraBio's AminoKick, however they've added a bit of a weight loss kick to the product by adding CLA and Green Coffee to it. A:Cuts contains 127mg of Natural Caffeine per serving and comes in a variety of tasty flavors, it also doesn't break the bank coming in at under $20 for a 30 serving tub.

Stars N Pipes, last but definitely not least is the single non-stimulant option among our 5 selections. While many women seeking out pregnancy safe preworkouts are generally seeking out stimulant preworkouts, just lower stimulant preworkouts, Stars 'N Pipes is a non-stimulant option and contains no caffeine, no DMHA and no stimulants. The formula is pretty simple, just 4 ingredients, all meant to increase blood flow, muscle pumps and endurance, it features hefty dosages of Citrulline, Glycerol, Nitrosigine and Pine Bark. If you're looking for non-stim preworkout you can take at night or take without consuming caffeine, but while still increasing endurance and getting a nice pump Stars N Pipes is another great option.
