This stuff is a solid go-to for a boost before hitting the gym or whenever I need a little pick-me-up during the day. It’s been a great way to avoid grabbing energy drinks, which are usually loaded with sugar and way overpriced. The flavor’s pretty good too—nice and refreshing. Yeah, it’s a bit on the sweet side, but no big deal; I just mix it with more water, and it’s perfect. Plus, it’s super convenient to toss into a shaker and go. Overall, it’s a great product.

Tasty drink! No jitters, and it’s so easy to mix and go! I love this product! Perfect pre workout mix!

This powder last a long time. I have been using it for half a year. Gives you energy and no jitters. Great taste! Helps keep you hydrated with electrolytes. This mixes well and great value for your money! This is the 2nd time I bought this!

Love the taste. However, it doesn't dissolve as well as i would like and i use a bullet type blender. Leaves sediments of at the bottom of my glass.

I love the taste of this one. I’ve tried the others. I don’t like the taste of others. Strawberry burst is the best at least in my opinion.

I've tried two other brands of BCAA energy type drinks and this is by far the best. I like that is contains multiple types of BCAA's not just 2 - 3. It isn't full of sugar but tastes really nice. Watermelon is my favorite. It gives a nice boost of energy without making me jittery. I do mix it with more water than directed because it is pretty overpoweringly sweet if you don't. Great for staying hydrated with some electrolytes!

Update: This is the second day I’ve used this product. I did not add in the beet root powder this time. The taste is like Gatorade- salty with a little sweet because of the electrolytes. I still don’t think this is a very good supplement to use as a pre workout unless you max the dosage which is 6 scoops but that’s a bit excessive (it’s 300mg caffeine). I used 2 scoops plus a half (so 150mg caffeine). The nice thing is that the manufacturer included multiple serving suggestions on the label so that you can see exactly how much caffeine you’re getting- that’s impressive. I wish coffee would have the same labeling.So my face has that itchy feel which doesn’t bother me but again, I don’t have that “I’m ready to get up and exercise” push that I was hoping to get from this drink. I purchased this to minimize the types of chemicals I was putting in my body and also because I needed an amino acid drink. I still feel like I want a container of pre-workout and a separate container of amino acids without caffeine. Bummer.Original review:Tastes very good! I bought watermelon and mixed in a serving of organic beet root powder. It tasted like a fruit punch jolly rancher. I bought this thinking I would be able to use it as a pre-workout but I’m not so sure. I am used to that instant energy surge that I get after taking pre-workouts. This gave me energy but nothing to help with motivation and focus. I think that’s what is really missing here is the focus component that pre-workouts have. Otherwise, nice amino acid drink
