A New Kind of Pre-Workout

Good for your brain

Enhances mental focus and boosts brain health from adaptogenic mushrooms used in traditional Chinese medicine to prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s.*

Boost your immune system

Powerful adaptogens that activate your natural killer cells, the ultimate immune warriors! (with a badass name)

Ethically sourced ingredients

We use earth grown ingredients, fermented amino acids, and real fruit powders for a refreshing flavor that's not overly sweet!

No jitters or skin tingling

Natural caffeine from organic guayusa tea paired with adaptogens means sustained energy and focus without the crash! There's no beta-alanine in the formula, which means none of the skin tingling.

Promotes recovery

Taking BCAAs before a workout helps to prevent muscle tissue breakdown. We also use L-Citrulline to boost blood flow, which is the first step in healing.*

Functional Energy

Formulated with intention where every ingredient boosts your performance AND your overall health without the crash.*

Ingredients With Intention

  • Lion's mane provides a significant boost of BDNF, a brain protein known for increased focus, memory, and overall brain health. It's also a powerful immune booster and adaptogen!*

  • Rhodiola is a superfood and adaptogen that is clinically proven to help our bodies "adapt" to stress. Exercise puts stress on the body, and this helps reduce exercise fatigue for a killer workout!*

  • This sacred tea is a superfood sourced from indigenous tribes grown in ancient Amazon forest gardens called "chakras." Guayusa is similar to yerba mate, but with even more antioxidants and 100mg of naturally occurring caffeine. Oh, and an added bonus, this patented form of Guayusa (AmaTea Max) has clinical studies to show the benefits of caffeine without the jitters! You can learn more here

  • Monk Fruit is a sweetener with zero calories and zero effect on blood sugar. The best part is it's a real food and contains an abundance of antioxidants. The monks used it as a natural cold remedy, hence the name Monk Fruit!

  • Stevia is a natural plant sweetener that has been shown to help control blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, improve cholesterol levels, and lower blood pressure.*

  • L-Citrulline is an amino acid that plays an important role in the promotion of vascular dilation (aka "The Pump"), which helps support normal oxygen and blood circulation.* Take that pump cover off!

  • The body uses BCAAs to promote healing of injured tissues, speed up recovery, and to protect against muscle tissue breakdown during exercise.*

  • This sweet red fruit is known for its antioxidant properties due to its high content of anthocyanins and ellagic acid that give them that deep red color. Our strawberry fruit powder is 100% organic strawberries and possesses all the natural taste and nutrition.

  • These citrus fruits are packed with vitamin C, offer detoxifying benefits by flushing out unwanted toxins, they're energizing, hydrating, and they boost the immune system.*

  • Bamboo extract is nature's highest source of organic silica. Silica has amazing benefits on the body and is used in TCM for connective tissue support, hydration, and more. *

Frequently Asked Questions

  • KONO Pre-workout uses fermented amino acids, superfood ingredients, and flavor our products with real fruit! Our goal was to create a product where every single ingredient has a benefit for your performance AND your health. Our opinion? We created the healthiest pre workout in the world. It supports performance, focus, and overall wellness as part of an active lifestyle.*

  • No! The ingredient in most pre-workouts that gives this effect is Beta-Alanine. The purpose of this ingredient is used as a fatigue fighter. However, KONO uses the adaptogen Rhodiola Root instead of Beta-Alanine. Rhodiola has been clinically proven to reduce effects on perceived exercise fatigue at a dose of 200mg.

  • Each serving contains 100mg of naturally occurring caffeine from Guayusa tea leaves, providing smooth, focused energy without the jitters.

  • We use real, whole fruit to flavor our products instead of sketchy ingredients used in most “natural” or artificial flavoring. Our Lemons/Limes is most often described as a tart lemonade. Our Strawberries flavor is often described as a strawberry tea. They both have a more natural taste than any other pre-workout you’ve ever tried, because they are! And we’re proud of that.

  • Absolutely NOT, there are no rules! We have many customers report that they use it as a coffee replacement, an afternoon pick me up, while studying, before video games, before hiking, before skiing, or WHENEVER you need an energy and mental performance boost!

  • We have a small but mighty team to ship your order out as quickly as possible from our fulfillment center in Utah! 99% of our orders ship out within 48 hours!

  • Yes! They are 3rd party tested by an independent lab for molds, yeasts, bacteria, heavy metals, and more! (click HERE to see results and click HERE to see how to interpret 3rd party testing results)
