While dry-scooping isn&#8217;t completely new, the TikTok craze is a first\u2014and pretty alarming.<\/p>\n<p>Never heard of dry-scooping? It&#8217;s exactly what it sounds like: People pour scoops of powdered sports supplements (mainly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/thermogenic-pre-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-workouts<\/a>) straight from the tub into their mouths instead of mixing them with water, as recommended.<\/p>\n<p>While this might sound like the harmless adult version of eating Pixy Stix (which, let\u2019s face it, often ended in gasps for air and water), it doesn&#8217;t come without potential consequences.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Dangers of Dry-Scooping<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Generally, people seem to be throwing back dry pre-workout powder in the name of good fun and scoring a few laughs online or in the gym\u2014but there\u2019s also a misconception out there that this delivery method will make the supplement kick in faster. And that\u2019s just not the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ingredients [in pre-workouts] are designed to be dissolved in water or other beverages, which increases their solubility which helps them be absorbed in the GI tract,\u201d says nutritionist Brian Tanzer, M.S., Manager of Scientific Affairs for The Vitamin Shoppe. So, if you\u2019re looking for the most bang for your pre-workout buck, you\u2019re truly better off sipping it down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/thermogenic-pre-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Should You Switch To A Thermogenic Pre-Workout?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all, though. While coughing down Pixy Stix as a kid was certainly uncomfortable, doing the same thing with a powder loaded with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/caffeine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caffeine<\/a> and other active compounds could be much more serious. \u201cDry-scooping pre-workout can cause serious burning and irritation in your throat and esophagus, as well as choking, which could cause some of the product to actually get into your lungs,\u201d says Tanzer.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, if you exceed the recommended amount of your pre (especially if it\u2019s a high-stim product) for the sake of the stunt, there could be serious consequences. \u201cIf the product contains high levels of caffeine, which most do, you risk severe and potentially dangerous adverse effects like a rapid and\/or irregular heartbeat, severe headache, and more,\u201d Tanzer adds.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Right Way To Take Pre-Workout<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The lesson here: Do yourself\u2014and your workouts\u2014a favor and steer clear of dry-scooping.\u00a0To reap the intended benefits of your favorite pre-workout, stick to the label&#8217;s instructions. Seriously. Tanzer recommends mixing it up in your shaker cup at home and drinking it over the course of at least a few minutes on your way to the gym or before you get moving. After all, what\u2019s the point of splurging on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/pre-workout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delicious pre-workout<\/a> if you won&#8217;t enjoy it going down?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether or not you&#8217;re on TikTok, chances are you\u2019ve heard about a trend referred to as \u201cdry-scooping\u201d that\u2019s been going viral on the social media platform.
