A hypothesized pre-workout supplement designed to improve athletic performance

This project proposes a pre-workout supplement that could theoretically boost performance and mentally prepare athletes for training and competition. A compounded formula is proposed based on evidence-based effects of individual supportive ingredients. Each ingredient appears on the US Food and Drug Administration’s list of chemicals and food additives that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), which are exempted from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) that dictate additive tolerance requirements (reference:  http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GRAS/ucm2006850.htm). The end goal would be to have an effective product formulation that can be used prior to exercise to facilitate increased performance and enhanced capabilities during physical activity The need for this project is explained further in Chapter I regarding the importance of maximizing physical and athletic performance. There are few effective pre-workout products on the market. This project proposes a supplement containing a combination of ingredients that would create a higher standard of quality and effectiveness. The project will propose a supplement formula that may improve performance and fitness. Ingesting key ingredients, (explained further in Chapter II), can potentially enhance performance in practice and competition settings.
