NUTRITION ESSENTIAL Watermelon Preworkout Essential Reviews Summary

Energy and Focus

Pros:

• "It's just a steady flow of boosted energy."
• "Amino Energy offers the perfect balance of high intensity energy and improved focus."
• "This has given me the energy and strength to do more intense workouts."
• "It gives me enough energy to be alert at the gym, without giving me the shakes and making my skin itch."
• "I have been able to tell the difference in energy immediately and throughout the day."
• "It's a very 'smooth' boost to the workout - I'm impressed!"
• "With amino energy I have managed to complete insanity workouts to a level of extreme intensity."

Cons:

• "Had to up it to 2 servings prior to workouts, that helped for a bit before my tolerance grew again."
• "It doesn't really give you a big energy rush unless you take the 6 scoops it tells you to take for intense workouts."
• "This stuff doesn't even give extra energy."
• "I did not really see any noticeable change in energy."
• "It's not as intense as other 'pre workouts' but it tastes great and it's good for every day use."
• "The drawback is that with it comes intense shaking of my hands."
• "Sometimes at 10oz I would find a fine silt of the powder at the bottom of my cup after I'd finished."

Taste and Flavor

Pros:

• "Doesn't taste artificial, no chemical aftertaste you get with some preworkouts."
• "The pineapple flavor is SO GOOD."
• "I really enjoyed the Pineapple flavor."
• "The Green Tea flavor is light and crisp, making it a refreshing treat before exercise."
• "The grape is my favorite flavor."
• "The Concord Grape flavor is legit tasty."
• "Pineapple is now my favorite flavor that I've tried."

Cons:

• "Its not overly sweet and has a slightly bitter aftertaste but nothing intense."
• "The first can had so much flavor I could hardly tolerate it, this second one has almost no flavor at all."
• "The flavor is so strong, it needs to be diluted quite a bit to be tolerable."
• "Not a huge fan of the taste, but I seem to be the odd man out on this one."
• "Flavor is par for the course with any blue pre-workout and is pretty gross."
• "There is no acidity to this batch, so it tastes bland like cheap cough syrup."
• "However, the green apple flavor was not my favorite. It’s waaayyy too sweet!"

Value and Packaging

Pros:

• "It's hard to beat the price."
• "Great value for people who are looking for a 'pick-me-up'."
• "Product was sent as expected and on time."
• "I'm also a big fan of Optimum Nutrition because of their unmatched quality."
• "It's the perfect fuel to power through intense workouts, giving me the endurance I need to push my limits."
• "I love that I can measure the level of intensity by the number of scoops."
• "I've been taking it for two weeks with positive results."

Cons:

• "I haven’t tried this so I can’t say anything about the product. I literally just opened this and look at how empty it looks.. The packaging is ridiculous."
• "I’m always looking for a great way to boost my energy and this product was great. I must say for the cost of the product and the size bottle, it comes half full…. But it taste good."
• "It stains my hands if I get it on them, and I hope you don’t have a light color counter, cuz this stuff sort of goes everywhere when you scoop it out."
• "So by taking 4-6 scoops for a workout, you go through this preworkout really fast, and it's not a good value monetarily."
• "It arrived under half full. After using 6 scoops a day were not even a week in and its almost empty."
• "I think it is very pricey for the small amount you get in the bottle. The bottle is only half filled."
• "Once you start getting to the bottom 1/3 of the container, it gets a bit hard to get your hand in there to get the last couple scoops."
