The Pre-Workout That Won’t Break Your Fast — And Still Delivers
Intermittent fasting might sharpen your mind, improve insulin sensitivity, and help torch body fat, but as anyone knows it can leave your energy levels crashing hard before a workout, especially if you’re partial to black coffee on a fast.
The Booster by The Help is a new player on the market, a gut-friendly, fasting-friendly pre-workout that fits hand in glove with fasting. With just 3 calories per serve, it won’t break your fast, making it ideal for 16:8, 18:6 or OMAD fasting protocols. But more importantly, it helps you train harder, think sharper, and stay energised without the bloating or lunchtime caffeine crash.
At the core of The Booster is a precise mix of green coffee bean, green tea extract, and guarana, ingredients shown to support thermogenesis (i.e., calorie burning via heat production) and fat metabolism when combined with training. Translation: your body taps into fat stores more effectively during workouts, helping you stay lean, alert, and dialled in. It also includes raspberry ketones, a compound with emerging research in fat metabolism. Recently in June 2025 the Union Cycliste Internationale, the world governing body for the sport, accepted ketones as a legal supplement after a four-year study.
There’s also a hit of acetyl L-carnitine and essential B vitamins (B5, B6, B12) to boost mental focus, support brain function, and keep your mood on track which makes it perfect for early morning sessions or deep work sprints.
Bottom line: you’ll feel alert, not wired.
Where most pre-workouts overload the gut and jack up your nervous system, The Booster is clean, light, and easy on the stomach. It’s vegan (who cares?), gluten-free, and gut-friendly, so no jitters. It’s just smooth, sustained performance.
And beyond performance, it supports immune health and overall wellbeing with antioxidant-rich ingredients like bitter orange and magnesium to reduce oxidative stress and keep your recovery on point.
It’s a well-designed fasting pre-workout.
So, if you’re over coffee, this has a crisp lemon-iced tea flavour and 50 serves per tub, it’s a smart upgrade to your supplement stack, especially if you train fasted, are in a calorie deficit, or just want to ditch the gut-punch to your energy and wallet of your usual long black.
