Why Most Pre-Workouts Make You Itch (And How Purge 2.0 Fixed It)
We’ve all been there. You’re five minutes into your warm-up, and suddenly, your face feels like it’s been hit by a swarm of invisible ants. Your ears are tingling, your neck is itchy, and your hands won’t stop prickling.
In the fitness world, this is known as the “Pre-Workout Itch.” While some “stim-junkies” wear it like a badge of honor, for most athletes in India, it’s a massive distraction that ruins focus during heavy sets.
At Arscor Nutrition, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between performance and comfort. Here is the science behind the itch and how we re-engineered Purge 2.0 to eliminate the discomfort.
The Science: What is Paresthesia?
The technical term for that “pins and needles” sensation is Paresthesia. It is almost exclusively caused by an ingredient called Beta-Alanine.
Beta-Alanine is a fantastic amino acid. It helps your body produce carnosine, which buffers lactic acid in your muscles. This means you can train longer and harder before your muscles “burn” out. However, Beta-Alanine also triggers certain sensory neurons under your skin. When these neurons fire all at once, you get that famous (or infamous) itch.
The “Cheap Stimulant” Trap
Many supplement brands in India use massive, unbuffered doses of Beta-Alanine as a marketing tactic. Why? Because it’s a cheap way to make the user feel like the product is “kicking in.”
If your skin is crawling, you assume the pre-workout is powerful. But in reality, an over-dose of Beta-Alanine doesn’t equal more strength — it just equals more irritation.
How Purge 2.0 Fixed the Formula
When we formulated Purge 2.0, our goal was simple: Explosive Energy without the Distractions. Here is how we solved the itching problem while maintaining elite performance:
1. Precision Dosing
Instead of “pixie-dusting” or overloading, Purge 2.0 uses a clinical, balanced dose of Beta-Alanine. This ensures you get the endurance benefits for your 1RM (one-rep max) without the overwhelming tingling sensation that breaks your mental focus.
2. The Focus on Vasodilation (The Pump)
Most “itchy” supplements lack expensive ingredients like L-Citrulline. Purge 2.0 prioritizes blood flow. By using high-quality L-Citrulline and Betaine Anhydrous, we shift the “feel” of the workout from skin irritation to a deep, muscular pump.
3. No-Crash Stimulant Blend
Itching is often accompanied by the “pre-workout crash.” By using a purified Caffeine Anhydrous blend, Purge 2.0 provides a smooth ascent in energy and a gentle taper off, ensuring you don’t feel jittery during your session or exhausted two hours later.
Is the Itch Dangerous?
No, it’s completely harmless. But is it necessary? Absolutely not.
Modern supplement science has evolved. You no longer need to feel like you have a skin rash just to hit a new PR on bench press. You need sharp focus, increased oxygen to the muscles, and sustained stamina.
Conclusion: Elevate Your Training Standards
If you are tired of scratching your face between sets and want a supplement that actually respects your physiology, it’s time to switch. Purge 2.0 by Arscor Nutrition is designed for the serious Indian athlete who demands “laser-sharp” focus and skin-tearing pumps — minus the “ant crawl.”
Stop the Itch. Start the Gains.
