The dirty secret of pre-workout drinks is the main ingredient is often caffeine. While effective in the short term, it means gym-goers are paying top dollar for a cheap solution, and hordes of health enthusiasts are now looking to get more for their money.
That's not to mention footy players, who are more pedantic than most about what they are putting into their bodies.
To put it plainly, Hercules Supplements' Energy of the Gods is built different. As a clinically dosed pre-workout for sports professionals and fitness fanatics alike, Energy of the Gods includes citrulline and agmatine, complementary amino acids that support longer-lasting performance.
Pre-workout powders have exploded in popularity in recent years, progressing from a bodybuilding trend in the 2000s to a TikTok topic of choice by the 2020s, with everyone from pro power-lifters to market-shaping “momfluencers” sharing their favourite products.
On the footy front, Melbourne Demons premiership winner Christian Petracca may be the most prominent, regularly posting nutrition and health content to his Instagram.
“It's something I've always been passionate about,” Petracca told Men's Health.
“My three pillars are nutrition, hydration and sleep. As long as I address those each week, I feel like I have a good chance of playing well.”

Petracca has also spoken about the need to focus on the mindset element of a workout, from mental health to remaining ‘present' in your routine.
“To be honest, I feel like I do more from a mental point of view than physical,” he says.
Energy of the Gods addresses your mental endurance with Alpha GPC and L-Tyrosine, which promotes “razor-sharp mental drive and elite mind-muscle connection”.
