The Impact of Artificial Colors in Pre Workouts on Health
I have noticed that my pre workout is a bright neon blue color and it makes me wonder about the impact of artificial colors on my health. Many of these supplements use Red 40 or Blue 1 which have been linked to various issues in some studies. I am in the UK and I am trying to be more health conscious with what I put in my body.
Why do companies even use these dyes? I would be perfectly happy with a clear or naturally colored drink. I am starting to look for brands that are dye free. Do you think it actually makes a difference to your long term health or am I just overthinking it?
Have you found any high quality pre workouts that do not use artificial colors? I am specifically looking for products that still taste good and provide a decent energy boost. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether we should be avoiding these additives in our supplements.
