Behind every mouse and keyboard is a gamer....That is probably fueled by several cans of RedBull.And nope RedBull isn't the best thing for energy, nor is any of those canned energy drinks.Most of them are packed with sugar, artifical sweeteners and can just cause problems in the long term.They aren't the best picks.And you probably know that.You've read it somewhere but that doesn't help you much since you dont know what to get instead.So instead of paying 100% more for energy, you could save a ton more money by getting any of these supplements below.Pre workouts are generally great to use before any event that requires increased mental performance (reaction time etc.) but they are loaded with ingredients that are best used for physical performance for enhanced strength and muscle gains.So unless you need to bench press your keyboard, you don't need to spend the extra cash on those pre workouts.Caffeine is great, that's the secret of most of these supplements.But there are other stimulants and mental enhancers you could take advantage of.
Also you may be a fan of green tea, or you've heard of it's long lasting focus and energy that it provides?Green tea is just caffeine and l-theanine, so you could just buy these ingredients in bulk if you're not a fan of tea for whatever reason.But these supplements provide different ingredients to all round mental enhancements (like enhanced memory, reaction time and overall performance).If you're a fan of sleep, then you probably know stimulants and sleep are not a good sleep.Alcar and l-tyrosine for example are natural energy boosters that will stimulate mental abilities but will not interfere with sleep if taken at least a couple hours before bedtime. Ingredients:1.85g of taurine,velvet bean, ALCAR and more...1.2g L-Tyrosine, choline bitartrate, and more...163.5mg Antioxidant ComplexWhile it sounds like this stuff is what turned the Hulk into, well, the hulk (Gamma rays?)Actually this stuff is made for gamers as the name states G-Fuel (Gamer's Fuel).G-Fuel is strategically put together with a blend that enhance focus with a moderate dosage of caffeine (150mg), which would feel like even more as it combines both L-Tyrosine and N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine.The energy won't feel overwhelming however as it has Bacopa Monnieri, an adaptogenic herb, it helps reduce stress and anxiety.
We generally don't get enough fruits so antioxidants are a must. It includes a blend containing several types of fruits. G-Fuel will put you in a mindset which will help you conquer the battlefields inside and out without facing any signs of mental fatigue.

Since it has a blend of Beta-PEA, it will last much longer with the help of hordenine (making your mood elevated for a longer period of time).So since it has just under 10mg of caffeine, this would be a perfect addition to your cup of tea or coffee or energy drink.Or for those late evening gaming sessions...

Was it made by a tribe living out on an island?You'll love this, even though you may not understand the ingredients....If you value focus and drive, you will love Hydrazine. The only thing is that if you've heard of Driven Sports (their Craze v1 was spiked with an meth-like stimulant which provided the "clean", long lasting energy and euphoria), they may be connected with Hydrapharm (the makers of Hydrazine).Craze v1 is a long gone legend in the pre workout industry, and here we have an legit replacement which is 100% comparable, though Hydrazine doesn't provide as much euphoria as Craze did. But the focus is unreal and limitless-like.It may seem expensive, but really it may be the same price as any energy supplement as it is a true two pills per serving.Since you are gaming, you'll likely experience plenty of focus from one pill.Since it has no beta-alanine or really any muscle building ingredients for that matter, this makes for the perfect productivity and gaming supplement.
