                                While no specific federal law in the United States requires an individual to be 18 to purchase pre-workout supplements, new state laws, such as New York's, are starting to restrict sales to minors. This raises important questions about safety and ethics regarding who can and should consume these powerful, unregulated products, and whether you have to be 18 to buy preworkout from certain retailers.
