Question 1

How do I use Pulse?

Accepted Answer

If this is your first time using Pulse, assess your individual tolerance by mixing 1 scoop with 10-12 ounces of water and drinking it 15-30 minutes prior to exercise. If you experience any non-optimum effects, stop and consult your doctor.

If 1 scoop is well tolerated and you want the full clinically effective dose of Pulse, including 350 milligrams of caffeine, mix 2 scoops into 10-12 ounces of water, and drink it 15-30 minutes prior to exercise.

Question 2

How does Pulse compare to other popular pre-workouts?

Accepted Answer

Compared to other popular pre-workouts, Pulse provides a clean rush of energy with no crash or jitters and an optimal dose of performance-enhancing ingredients to make your workouts significantly more enjoyable and productive.

The only stimulant in Pulse is a moderate dose of caffeine, and we’ve also included a matching dose of the amino acid theanine, which makes the caffeine rush and “comedown” noticeably smoother and more enjoyable. Other pre-workouts can leave you feeling edgy and burned out.

Question 3

What type of workouts is Pulse good for?

Accepted Answer

Pulse is good for both anaerobic and aerobic workouts. It's not just for weightlifting but for cardio and endurance training, too.

Take it before a weightlifting workout to see benefits like increased strength and muscle endurance. Take it before a cardio session and see benefits like increased intensity and endurance. Whatever type of exercise you do, Pulse helps you do it better.

Question 4

Is Pulse for men and women?

Accepted Answer

Pulse is for men and women. Keep in mind that each serving contains 350 milligrams of caffeine, which may be too much for some women (or smaller men). In those cases, ½ of a serving (which contains more active ingredients than a full serving of most other pre-workout supplements) works perfectly. Bottles last longer this way too!

Question 5

Pulse is too sweet/strong tasting for me. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If Pulse is too sweet/strong tasting for you, increase the amount of water you’re using until you find an amount that works for you. (Most people like 8 to 10 ounces.)

Also, we continually tweak Pulse’s flavor profile based on customer feedback, so please let us know if you don’t like it. It helps us improve!

Question 6

How many servings of Pulse can I take in one day?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you take only one serving of Pulse per day. Research shows that caffeine intake shouldn’t exceed 6 milligrams per kg of body weight per day (about 400 milligrams for the average person), and that most of the benefits are seen at moderate (not excessive) doses.

Question 7

What does the Prop65 warning on the label mean?

Accepted Answer

The Prop65 warning on the label means the product contains one of 900 chemicals. The product is still safe to use and has the label because California's Proposition 65 goes well beyond the safe levels set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and requires the label by law (even when the chemical is found in trace amounts). You should not be concerned about it and don't need to be worried--Pulse is completely safe. Just because a product bears the Prop 65 label doesn’t mean it’s dangerous (for instance, just two servings of tuna puts you well over the Prop65 limit for lead).[1]

Question 8

Is Pulse gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pulse is gluten-free. Pulse is also vegetarian but is not vegan because it contains honey as part of its natural flavoring.
