Nutricost Pre-X Xtreme Pre-Workout Complex Powder, Blue Raspberry, 60 Servings, Vegetarian, Non-GMO and Gluten Free

Love this stuff. It really gets me going in the gym, today I hit a deadlift PR after taking this. I mean, holy cow, I only take half a scoop because I have a pretty low caffeine tolerance, but this still really gets you going. The pump, the body feel, the tingling from the beta alanine, you get a really high quality workout after taking this because it just gets your blood flowing. I'm amazed that it costs so little considering you get everything you want from a preworkout mix out of this. My one complaint was the flavor: I got the blue raspberry stuff and MAN is that a strong flavor. I usually dry-scoop my preworkout but even when you dilute it with a ton of water it still has a very strong sour taste. My friends seemed to like the taste after I gave them a scoop but after having taken it a few times I think it's way too strong. Still, I know I'll be purchasing this product again because it's such a fantastic value, I'll just get the unflavored stuff next time. Anyways, this stuff is fantastic for me during weightlifting, and I would 100% recommend it as someone who's tried a lot of different mixes that try to get what this preworkout offers.

This pre-workout is legit. The fruit punch flavor tastes great (not too sweet), and the energy boost kicks in fast without making me jittery. I power through tough workouts with focus and stamina, and there's no crash afterward. Love that it’s vegetarian, non-GMO, and gluten-free too. Amazing value for 60 servings—definitely my go-to pre-workout!

I tried this product the moment it arrived at my doorstep and could not have been happier with the results. A bit of backstory for context - I've been on a strict lean bulk diet for about a month now and have been alternating between Bucked Up and STEEL pre-workout, as well as some Celsius on days I had no other alternative. The cost of these other supplements were unsustainable for my budget so I looked into making my own using Nutricost ingredients.I was mainly looking for caffeine, L-citrulline, and beta-alanine as these are the generally agreed upon most important supplements for muscle growth and recovery. I had no previous experience with the Nutricost brand, but due to their great value, I was all set on buying those individual supplements, along with creatine monohydrate and L-theanine (to reduce jitters/anxiety and increase focus). However, in the final moment, I decided for pure convenience to purchase this pre-workout instead of the individual components separately. While this route was slightly more expensive, I didn't plan to workout long enough to use all 200+ servings of the individual supplements, so I decided this pre-workout was the better option for me.The biggest reason I decided to purchase this pre-workout was the fact that it included all of the most important ingredients for muscle growth and recovery, while also including several other ingredients that are said to help in other various regards. I decided to take only 10g per serving, rather than recommended 15g, in order to decrease the caffeine intake from 300mg to 200mg - I suggest anyone taking this to do so as well. This conversion, however, lowers the amount of L-citrulline and beta-alanine that you get per serving, which is lower than the expertly recommended doses. This worried me prior to trying the product, but I can say after using it that everything worked as needed.The beta-alanine really helped me push through the last couple of reps that usually give me trouble (by reducing lactic acid build-up, reducing fatigue), all without giving me tingles (I'm not a fan of tingles so I was glad I didn't get them). The L-citrulline helped with vasodilation, increasing blood flow to my muscles, and gave me a nice pump. After my workout, I was still energized and didn't experience much muscle pain or fatigue. All in all, each ingredient seemed to function as intended.I gave this product 4 stars (4.5 really) for two reasons. The first reason is that other customers report that clumping may occur as you get to the bottom of the jar. Because of the fact that I plan to only take 10g servings, I'm expecting to get 90 servings out of this one jar, which increases the likelihood that I will need to deal with clumping later on. As you can see from my photo, however, the powder came as fine as I could expect, so hopefully clumping won't occur until much later. The second reason is that I did experience slight stomach unease after taking the supplement. This feeling may go away after taking the product for a longer duration, but even if not, I'd still recommend this pre-workout to anyone who needs a high value low budget supplement.

No BS review from a dude: This is normal stuff. So if you NEED a pre work out, this isn't it. If you want some extra energy and vitamins to help out with your workout, this is it. Not very expensive, not intense, just good. Don't buy if you're a dude between 18 and 35, this isn't what you're looking for. Great for everyone else. Tastes good. I've purchased 2x.

I am a big fan of Nutricost products, so decided to take their pre-x. I do only take half of a scoop (300mg of caffeine full scoop, too much for me) and did well with the energy. Mixes great, just the taste is awful. I had issues getting it down and keeping it down. The fruit punch (my opinion) is one of the worse tastes in pre-workout supplement. Have to find something to mix with it or will not be able to drink the product.

Great product my number 1 go to for pre-work out. I've tried many and this hits the spot good amount of caffeine per serving and also doesn't taste so bad tried mango, grape , fruit punch all good. And no pre-work out explosion in the toilet prior or cramps. No crash seems good with no proprietary mix where you don't know the exact dosage. Mixes well no clumps

Good product, but it has a higher caffeine content then the non "X" version. That said tastes good and works well, but nausea can occur, I've ran into this with other pre-work supplements as well. Just bring a protein bar or nutri grain type bar, other snacks might work, but I just eat one as soon as it starts and it settles everything. Little weird eating in the middle of the gym, but it works.

I thought it would hit harder, but it’s actually pretty mild. It’s not bad at all — it gives me solid energy and good focus, but I don’t really feel any strength boost, just clean energy.It lasts a decent amount of time and has zero side effects: no itchiness, no racing heart, no crash — you just feel awake and ready.I’ve tried over 15 different pre-workout brands, and Pre X by Nutricost is a solid option if you’re looking strictly for long-lasting energy. At this price point, it’s a great pick for those who want a simple, effective energy boost without the side effects.
