Australia and New Zealand has become one of the larger sports nutrition markets out there, not as large as the likes of Europe, Canada, and, of course, the US, but still impressively strong. That has led to all sorts of newcomers getting into the space, one of the latest being BDE, which isn’t beating around the bush at all and says it stands for “Big D*** Energy”. Unsurprisingly, the brand has begun with a stimulant-backed pre-workout, the best way to deliver an experience of Big D*** Energy.
The fresh, colorful, and new BDE and its flagship supplement, BDE Pre-Workout, cover all of your bases in terms of effects for this sort of offering, including energy, focus, pumps, and performance. The brand relies on common components, in 6g of citrulline malate, 850mg of classic arginine AKG, and a rather light 750mg of betaine for pumps, plus the ever-present beta-alanine at a full 3.2g. AstraGin is in the mix too at 25mg a serving, a reliable feature to improve absorption and efficacy of the formula.
Again, BDE and the BDE Pre-Workout rely on common ingredients, and for the energy and focus effects, that continues. Alongside the citrulline, betaine, and beta-alanine, there are b vitamins, 150mg of the nootropic alpha-gpc, 300mg of English walnut, and finally, a nice hit of caffeine at 350mg. The caffeine should ensure you get a solid uptick in energy, as 350mg is strong, but definitely keep in mind the regulations in Australia are strict, and there are several ingredients the brand just can’t use.
Currently, the best place to get your hands on BDE Pre-Workout is through BDE’s online store, and it is priced very similar to other competitors in the intense category, landing in at $69.95 (46.03 USD) for a full-size bottle of 40 regular or 20 maximum servings. The newcomer has built a relatively well-rounded and respectably dosed supplement, with a few areas that could be dosed higher, although still a robust pre-workout, in three flavors, with Sour Grape, Raspberry Jelly, and Tropical Rush.
