NAKED Energy - Pure Pre Workout Powder for Men and Women, NSF Certified, Vegan, Unflavored, Healthy Pre Workout - No Added Sweeteners, Colors Or Flavors - 50 Servings

I absolutely love this pre workout! From the first scoop I could tell it was different. No artificial sweeteners, no fake flavor, and no weird crash afterward. It gives me clean, steady energy that helps me power through my workouts and even my busiest days. I really appreciate that I can recognize every ingredient on the label and trust what I’m putting in my body. It mixes easily, tastes fine even unflavored, and gives me great focus without the jitters. If you want a pre workout that’s simple, effective, and clean, Naked Energy is the one. I’ll definitely be ordering it again!

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.

Ever heard of the phrase, “beauty is pain?” This is that. The taste is not the best, but it should be known considering this has no artificial flavors. These pre-workouts are not intended to be like candy. This is a healthy pre-workout that doesn’t have any additional ingredients to keep you buying it over and over. For those giving poor reviews simply because of flavor, grow up. Take it with a sweet drink if you cannot bear the taste. As for the product, it works wonders. It gives you sustained energy to get through an intense workout and still feel energized through the day. I would recommend this for those with a morning workout routine. If you workout at night, consider half the serving size to avoid a sleepless night. I would also recommend easing yourself into the pre-workout. Serving size is 2 scoops. Take 1 scoop for 1-2 weeks, then transition into the full serving. This helped my body adjust to product and it’s been the best experience since. Good bye cancerous dyes.

Written after 3 weeks of use: Switched to this from a different pre workout (GM) because I was looking for no additives. This is much more compact both in formula and packaging. These scoops are SMALL. The scooper is the size of my thumb nail and I’m a 5’3 lady with baby hands. The package itself is the size of my palm. I will say, for such a small amount it packs a punch. As for its performance. It definitely gives a caffeine boost. I only do one scoop since I’m on the smaller side. One scoop is plenty to get me through a 2 hour workout session. I notice the biggest boost to my running and weight lifting. Granted, I don’t lift heavy weights, just light dumbbells but I find that I can easily get through sets while taking this preworkout and my running is easier too and I don’t build up lactic acid as quickly. The negatives: The caffeine can give me a bit of jitters since I’m not much of a caffeine person on the daily. I also do notice a tiny bit of face and hand itch from the Beta Alanine although that’s said to be common and harmless. If anything I kind of appreciate it since I know the pre workout has kicked in at that point. It’s not very distracting to me but if you’re sensitive to such things I would advise against any preworkout with that in it. Overall I would recommend this to someone who’s keen to avoid unnecessary additives. It’s not quite as powerful as the super popular preworkouts but i would say it’s about 80% as powerful so the benefits outweigh the slight performance drop. The taste is pretty horrible but I just take it dry, plop it in my mouth and immediately swish with some water to get it down then I drink the rest of the recommended water afterwards. I think this is the easiest way.

I've been slingin' steel for nearly 20 years now so I've run the gauntlet of everything from C4 to local customized vitamin shop brews. My nearly decade steady go-to has been PreJym by Jym - great for what it is w/ minimal crash. Recently have changed my diet entirely towards a sustainable modified low-FODMAP setup (which has been great) and so I needed an absolutely clean pre-work out w/ no flavoring, preservatives, or additives of any kind. NAKED (unflavored) ticks all of those boxes and my first couple of workouts with it have been some of the best of the last five or six years. I dry scoop (straight to the back of the throat) one heaping scoop ahead of my workouts and it helps just knock it back w/o tasting, chase w/ a glass of water. The pumps are on par w/ anything else but the focus & stamina I've had with this stuff has been unreal - I maxed weight & reps in everything I did on that first workout with it, and it continued into my second. I have no gas or ugly burps/stomach uneasiest like I'd become accustomed to, so to get the workouts I have without the bloat...5 stars. I will use it exclusively.

My sugar levels are high, so I was looking for a pre-workout without sugar. I also experienced strong palpitations with the other Naked pre-workout. Since switching to this one, the palpitations have stopped, which is a huge plus for me. I will say, I don’t love the taste, it tastes horrible, but it works for me, and that’s what matters most.

Horrible after taste. Did not notice much of a difference as a not stim pre workout.

I was driving myself crazy trying to find a preworkout without all the terrible sweeteners they put in them (sucralose, erithrythol, stevia, etc.) because these have always given me terrible GI issues and would prevent me from working out at all because I’d be in pain. So I was so excited to find this product because it’s no BS (at least the unflavored version, I wouldn’t be able to do the citrus one for the reasons above) but it’s so great! Good clean energy, no jitters, better energy than coffee, and no digestive upset. I mix it with watermelon and lime juice in a blender and cant even taste it. Workouts have been good and my energy sustained which I struggled with. After taking it a few times I noticed headaches and faintness about 3-4 hours after, probably from all the caffeine, even with drinking lots of water, so I might scale back and take 1/2 a scoop. Nevertheless happy with the product. Thank you to whoever formulated this product and cut out all the BS that preworkout tends to have!!

Find the taste is horrible but you get used to it. I used to use gold standard pre, however, I wanted to go cleaner so started using this and the pump/feeling from it genuinely feels so much cleaner and natural than the Gold Standard pre. I also mix it with optimum nutrition micronised creatine as that's the only ingredient of this drink that's missing (obviously because it isn't vegan-friendly). Dunno if its just one that works so well or both as I only every mix them together with 400ml of water. Would I buy this product again? probably the taste is unique and you just get used to dealing with it after a while. Would like to know more about the maker of it though as the American site seems set up and running and usable but the UK one is none existent, so I am not too sure how much I trust the making process of the product.

I'm on my 2nd jar of this pre-workout and very pleased with this product. It delivers 'clean', reliable, and sustained energy for my workouts, with no jitter or crash during and after. It doesn't really mess with my sleep either if I take it in the afternoon. I feel good about not putting junk and filler ingredients in my body with this product. I found 1 scoop of this pre-workout + 1 scoop of this company's BCAA powder + 1 scoop of creatine + 1-2 slices of lemon with the rind to be the perfect gym concoction. The lemon masks the slightly bitter taste and you get used to it after a while. I'll only buy this pre-workout from now on, hopefully the company doesn't change their recipes.

Item was sent within a week of purchasing and was 4 months out of date. Not sure if anyone had a similar problem but the sell-by-date is printed on the bottom and I was disappointed to read it said January 2020.

I would have to agree with the reviews, the taste is pretty bad. I mix a bit of organic lemon juice in with the water and it cuts the bitterness. You definitely won’t want to dry scoop this stuff. I will add that this pre-workout gives me a lasting boost, and the tingles that I personally like! Totally worth it for the clean ingredient list.

Used this today for a fasted workout and it gave me a good workout. Loads of energy and nice tingles. Tastes weird but if you mix with dilute orange then it tastes fine! Love it! My favourite preworkout!
