About Pick My Pre

How the picks are made

Your answers are scored against a fixed catalog of 13 pre-workouts. A request for no caffeine, a request to avoid beta-alanine, and dietary restrictions are hard filters: a product that fails one does not appear. The one exception is when fewer than three products pass, and then the results page says it topped the list up.

The remaining products are scored on how close their caffeine is to what you asked for, on your creatine preference and on your dietary needs, and the top three are shown with a match percentage. There is no AI model and no randomness in the scoring: the same answers always give the same picks. The guides read their figures from the same catalog, so a number on a guide and a number on a result card come from one place.

Where the product information comes from

Prices, caffeine amounts, ingredients and dietary flags are recorded from public manufacturer information. Brands reformulate, rename and reprice products, so a figure here can be out of date. The manufacturer's own product page is the authority; check the label and price there before you buy.

No affiliate links

Result cards link to the manufacturer's own product page. Those are plain links: Pick My Pre does not currently use affiliate or tracking parameters and earns nothing if you buy. It is not sponsored by or affiliated with any brand it lists. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy say the same.

Reporting a mistake

If a price, caffeine amount or ingredient looks wrong, trust the manufacturer's page over this site. Pick My Pre does not have a public contact address yet, so there is no way to send a correction from here today. When one exists it will be listed on this page.

Not medical advice

This is an information tool, not advice from a doctor or dietitian. Pre-workouts are not right for everyone; the Terms of Service explain who should talk to a healthcare professional first.
