Pre-workouts without beta-alanine
THE SHORT ANSWER
11 pre-workouts meet this list's rule, out of 73 pre-workouts with a complete label on file in the FormulaSignal Record. By the stated rule, RAW Nutrition Essential Pre-Workout Tingle-Free ranks first: 2 of its 2 main actives sit inside researched doses at $1.00 a serving.
Read from the labels on file, the newest observed August 3, 2026. No brand pays to appear, and the order comes from the rule printed below.
The rule
What qualifies, and how it is ordered.
Qualifies: The complete label declares no beta-alanine in any form.
Order: Ranked by the share of main active ingredients declared at an amount inside the range published research used, then by lower cost per serving. The same rule FormulaSignal uses for “best pre-workout”. It compares numbers on a label, not how well a product works.
Note: Beta-alanine is the ingredient most often associated with a tingling sensation. Whether that matters to you is a preference, not a safety question the Record can answer.

Not counted: 3 normalized pre-workouts whose label is not complete, because an absence on a partial label is not evidence; 18 pre-workouts in the Record whose label has not been normalized yet; 7 adjacent amino, EAA and thermogenic products, which are ranked on their own names and never as pre-workouts; 46 products in other categories. A product missing from this list may still qualify once its label is read.
