Naked Nutrition Naked Energy All Natural Pre Workout Powder For Men And Women - 8.2 Oz 50 Servings

I've tried plenty of other pre-workouts and all the others I've tried gave me the same negative side effects... They make me feel bloated, give me gas, and make me constantly belch up disgusting flavors while I'm working out which is not a good feeling lifting and doing cardio plus it sounds gross. I take two-scoops of this with about twice the recommended amount of water, I do an hour of cardio 5x weekly and I haven't had any negative side effects. No gas, no belching, no bloating. The focus and energy you get is good and 100-200mg of caffeine is really my max and preference I'd want in a pre-workout for those that are caffeine sensitive but need a boost, a serving size is 2 scoops and you would do fine with 1 scoop and 8oz of water for 100mg of caffeine. For those that need 300-500+ mg of caffeine in a pre-workout this isn't for you... I would say no one needs that much caffeine for energy to go workout, I'd say what you are missing is the motivation. If you want something that tastes good, well look somewhere else... I bought the fruit-punch just to try out a flavor and I wish I had bought the flavorless. It tastes like kool-aid with no sugar, so it's extremely tart. To offset this I usually throw in a cup of frozen blue berries after I mixed it up to make it cold and to give it some sort of sweetness and that helps a lot. Overall this is probably the best pre-workout I've had. It gives you everything you need and nothing you don't need -- Energy, focus, no crashes, no bloat or gas. I recommend people go with flavorless, you'll love this product and probably never go back to anything else. Cheers!

I will break this down into three sections: Background/Physical Quality, Taste, and Perceived Workout-Benefit. Background/Quality: I decided to get a pre-workout because I really wanted to start exercising more but I've always had significant trouble motivating myself to go to the gym, and one of my biggest excuses was "I'm too tired"/"Ugh, I don't really feel like it right now, today was a long day". I figured if I forced energy into myself via pre-workout, I wouldn't have that excuse anymore. I chose Naked Energy's Unflavored pre-workout because it is only made up of 10 ingredients, all of them are natural, there is no sugar (gains-killer), and one serving is just under 5 grams (which I can drink with 8oz of water rather than getting a flavored one that's 16g per serving that I would need to drink 24 oz of water with, and which allows for me to pay $40 for 50 servings instead of $40 for 20 servings). When the product arrived, I was glad to see that there wasn't really much clumping and that the powder was pretty fine in terms of particle size. When I began using it I was disappointed by it's ability to dissolve in water, however I realized relatively soon after that I had just been too impatient with it. If you give it 30+ seconds of stirring, it will be almost completely dissolved, which is a huge plus. Taste: Bear in mind that supplements in general are not meant to be delicious. bearing that in mind, this is UNFLAVORED. that does not mean that it does not have any flavor, it means that they don't add anything to make it "yummy". It tastes AWFUL. It is one of the most alien and bitter tastes I've ever had. I started drinking it with a -take five sips without breathing, chase with water quickly, then repeat until gone- strategy. I mixed it with a cool raspberry-hibiscus tea and it was bearable. I went back to the five-sip method because I'm lazy and was able to manage. Read the next section to see why the taste didn't drop this product's stars. Perceived Workout Benefit: This stuff works. there is no doubt about it. it has become a staple of my morning routine. half an hour before I want to workout throw on workout clothes, I mix this with 8 oz of water, drink it quick (because again, the taste is atrocious), and watch an episode of the office for 20ish minutes while I let the pre-workout kick in. by the time the episode is over, I feel wide awake with clean and non-jittery energy, I can feel a light pins-and-needles tingle from the beta-alanine (which is bearable at 2g), and I actually look forward to doing my daily workout. I have never gone to the gym as consistently as I have with Naked Energy, and I've never woken up before my alarm and decided "you know what, I should go to the gym" and then feel like I could put in maximal effort at 5:30am until I started using Naked Energy. Plus, for 50 servings at $40, it's almost impossible to find a better option. TL;DR: Ignore the horrible taste, this stuff is awesome. Mix until clear and wait 20-30 min before starting exercise.

Great product, gives me the energy I need to have a productive workout, and I only use 1 scoop, I bought the fruit punch flavor and its not bad at all, I just tasts like very diluted fruit punch, I will buy this again when I run out

Highly recommend! Give a great energy boost. I take 1 heaping scoop (.65 servings) and it works well enough for me for intense early morning athletic workouts. I feel focused, not jittery. I like that the caffeine is a bit less than some and there is no sugar. About the flavor: note that alone, this tastes slightly like baking soda, (I wrongly assumed it might be flavorless) but when paired with a drink with even light flavor it's not bad or noticeable. I usually prefer bland flavors but using this in water solo might be unpleasant even for me; but to each their own.

Has absolutely no taste whatsoever. I thought the first time I used it, I had added too much water and that's why I couldnt taste the flavor but the same thing happened the second time. I used water as the directions and I just can't do it. Smells yummy and fruity but doesn't taste anything like fruit punch. Sucks I wasted my money since I can't even get a refund .
