Has anyone used this pre-workout energizer before weightlifting? How does it compare to other non-Vegan pre-workout drinks?

I have not tried any other vegan drinks. I do use it for my pre-workout and it does help to give me energy but doesn't make me feel all tingly like other energy drinks. The taste isn't great by any means but it's tolerable.

Yes- and I don't know if its because I was so use to using King Kong (pre work out) but the vega sport put me to sleep.. I wanted to switch off the harsh pre work out (King Kong) so that's why I decided to try vega sport but it honestly doesn't give me the energy I need- I Switched to black coffee for energy before my work out instead.

I love this product, I use it everyday. It gives me a natural boost of physical and mental energy. I don't do a lot of weight lifting, but when I do I get hungry quickly so I use the Vega Sport Recovery when I'm done.

I got it after a recommendation from an Instagram account, and here are my thoughts. I will compare it to Pre-Jym which is by far the best I've tried. The Vega is less pungent but worse tasting. It does not mix as easily as other more common supplements. It gives a light clean jolt. Vega won't amp you up for a PR or an heavy volume day.

I use it before my workouts. I do not do weightlifting, but rather Hi Intensity Interval Training. I exercise at 5am and there's no time for a pre-workout meal, so I drink this and get a nice boost. The sugar helps provide some spark.

I use this pre-workout very regularly. I find it to provide sustained energy opposed to a short burst of energy and I do not experience a "crash" after as I have with other pre-workout supplements in the past. I also feel more focused and am able to concentrate on what I am trying to accomplish. I HIGHLY recommend this product. I have not used the Lemon-Lime one but the Acai option is fantastic.

Gives me some energy when working out, but doesn't blend as well. The acai taste isn't too bad. No more tingling feeling!

Hi, Travis. I bought this product to help me out with my routine. (I go to the gym 4-5 times a week for about 1.5 hrs each time) this product does not work AT ALL. At least for me.I Took it as directed, no energy and no fat burning affects. I took the entire bottle hopping that maybe it was one of those products that will have to built up in your system. So I went back to my regular supplements. But as you may already know! There is no magic pill or drink that will help lose weight if you are not regularly exercising and dieting... I wish you the best of luck and hope you achieve your goals :) Hi, Travis. I bought this product to help me out with my routine.

I work out before I go to bed. I usually drink it on my commute home from work and it seems to kick in about the time I begin my workout. I'm doing P90X3 Mass right now, so some of the workouts are pretty extreme as far as exerting energy, and I'm able to go to bed after and not have trouble sleeping but I wouldn't call it a "crash". So, I'm not sure that it would carry you throughout the day, but I've used it as a pick me up on the weekends if I'm trying to get some project done around the house and it works well.

Absolutely!! I do it with my pre and post workout shake. No taste or aftertaste!

Yes, and yes. We've been using Source Organic at our CrossFit box for close to a year, now. Everyone who's tried it swears it's the cleanest, best performing whey they've ever tried. If you're going to be consuming a lot of whey, you want some that works! The only complaint we've ever had is that it's nearly flavorless, which most find is a benefit.

I just love the protein powder, gives me energy for the whole day. I drink it with water or I put it in my oatmeal breakfast, I mix it all with water too and let it sit over night in my refregerator and have it in the morning before I go to the gym

It really depends of your nutrition as a whole. This product is great because it has creatine which prevents your body from eating out the glycogen (the sugar in your muscles), so it prevents muscle anabolism. You can take before (to give you more energy) or after to build more muscle. I personally take it during my workout.

It is a pre workout pill. It's main ingredient is nitric oxide, which stimulates blood flow in the body. This carries more oxygen to your muscles than normal, which gives you better performance, strength, and stamina. This is a great product because it gives you a more pure form of the active ingredient in all those pre workout drinks minus the caffeine, sugar, and calories

Had not heard of it, but after checking it out, and comparing ingredients, and price I am staying with my incredible greens. We are not athletes just trying to maintain our health and get in our vegetables and fruits. We drink it first thing every morning. Hope this helps.

I have only used the product with the 'blend'. So I couldn't recommend one over the other but the version I've been taking seems to help. I'm taking it to help recover from prostate cancer surgery but I've noticed a sudden desire to do a 5k run. Just sayin'. I don't know if I really will but I've certainly not thought that way before. I've done a little background check on the ingredients listed in the 'blend' and it seems they might be helpful. You may be onto something though.

i just looked and saw no lead mentioned? is that a joke? we have used the product a few times when we travel, i feel it is a good morning start up drink, much easier than taking vita mix, and our green house with us!

I have never tried Skratch labs hydration. A surgeon that my brother does long bike training with, introduced me to Nuun. I exercise about 2 to 3 hours daily and perspire a great deal more than 99% of the population that exercise. Nuun has helped me greatly without the extra garbage. I don't get faint, tired, or exhausted for most of the day after my exercise routine. It truly has made a big difference and is not as expensive as some of the other hydration drinks that I have tried. Good luck on your search for the item that works for you.

I have heard great things about craze. I've tried C4 before and it did not give me the results that I was expecting. However I don't think any pre-workout does the job like Bullnox. If you pair Bullnox with a thermogenic like Detonate you will have a combination that will not only give you the energy you need to make it through your workout but it will also give you some amazing muscle pumps and strength increases. Just remember to follow the directions on any supplement that you take to prevent harmful side effects.

It seems good to me.....I need extra protein in my diet and thought this was a good way to supplement it. I like that it is very easy to mix when I don't use my blender. I just add it to water in my glass and mix with a spoon. I tend to drink it after working out. I've had other protein shakes over the years and this one is low in sugar, easy to mix & has a good creamy taste. (before drinking after mixing, I let it sit for about a minute and it seems to get more creamy) I really like it.

I use this separately from whey, i mix it with fruit juice post workout to offset the taste

Really? I've found it to be one of the better tasking powders. That having been said, I make a smoothy with a banana, a scoop of Vega, a handful of frozen strawberries, a handful of frozen cherries, and top it up (to the consistency you like) with vanilla almond milk. Give it a good blitz (a Vitamix is capable of breaking it down even further so it's not chalky at all) and voila! Blends right in! Pun intended... :)

I do a hard 1 1/2 to 2 hour workout 5 days a week. I use this product in pre-workout drinking and during the workout in a mixture with a very low calorie peach tea type of beverage to make it nutritious. This is for thirst quenching and it tastes great to me. I do have a protein type smoothie post workout but don't include green barley then. (the smoothie is loaded with so many other things)
