Just going to copy and paste a comment I saved a while ago from /u/Waja_Wabit. Many people recommend making your own pre-workout because almost all pre-workout blends have a lot of added shit that does nothing for you, and it costs more.
Sometime later in the day, with a meal or in an after-workout/evening shake, just make sure you have another 2 g of beta alanine. If not, then increase the beta alanine to 4 g (1 tsp) for your preworkout, but be warned you will get a strong (but harmless) skin prickling sensation.

And then of course 5 g creatine at some point during the day, but it doesn't have to be in preworkout.
BulkSupplements Creatine Monohydrate 1kg - $0.09 per 5g serving
BulkSupplements Beta Alanine 500g - $0.15 per 4g serving
BulkSupplements Citrulline Malate 1kg - $0.27 per 8g serving.
Total in bulk - $0.51 per serving
Total with pre-made - $0.83 per serving
I'd say overall it's not bad, but it'll certainly be cheaper per serving to buy in bulk. And while it's refreshing to see more supplement companies not using proprietary blends and using effective doses I find it odd they decided to include creatine and beta alanine in a product marketed as a pre-workout, given these supplements are not timing dependent.
Also, unless you're doing a large volume of high rep work (15+ rep sets) you might not be getting much benefit from beta-alanine.
Here's what I'm thinking of putting together:
BCAAs (Edit: Just realized this is not vegan friendly)
L-Arginine a-Ketoglutarate
L-Citrulline DL-Malate
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine
Beta Alanine
Creatine Monohydrate
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Maltodextrin
Waxy Maize
I'm currently using a mix very similar to the above listed ingredients and it works very well!
I would like to just take a pre-mixed powder, but it seems like they all have caffeine, which I'm not a fan of for working out in the evening.
I'm also somewhat interested in Agmatine Sulfate and Phenylethylamine. Anyone have any opinions on those two chemicals?
I have tried multiple preworkouts and recently have been making my own. I bought the following from amazon: caffeine, beta alanine, and the scale. 200 mg caffeine and 4 g beta alanine per serving. I bought 500g of each and that comes out to about 21 cents per serving which is much cheaper than any actual preworkout.
