Product Summary
Beyond Raw Lit Pre-Workout is designed and produced by GNC, a leading supplement retailer for over 85 years. Lit is intended to provide a consistent burst of energy with clinically-dosed ingredients such as nitrosignine and l-citrulline to enhance pump during workouts.
Trademarked ingredient elevATP is claimed to increase the production of ATP, the human body’s main source of energy. Combined with a solid dosage of 250 milligrams of caffeine, Lit brings the fire to your training sessions with minimal post-workout crash.
With flavors most can recognize such as Jolly Rancher Green Apple (it really does taste just like the candy) and the classic Fruit Punch, drinking Lit is an enjoyable experience, even without its potent effects on performance.
