Red Leaf Pre Workout Energizer Powder, BCAA's, Beta-Alanine, Amino Acids and Green Tea for Immune Support and Preworkout Energy, Natural Cranberry Lime Flavor - 30 Servings

This is probably my favorite supplement right now. I finally decided I had enough of cheaper pre-workout supplements that I thought was good value. Then I came across to this product on Amazon. I didn't actually have much hope when I bought Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer, to be honest. I thought I would give it a shot anyway especially since my wife wanted to start using some kind of pre-workout supplement also. She hated my "good value" stuff which gave her all kinds of bad reactions. Right from the very first use I could tell I was finally using some high quality product. First, the taste is amazing! I don't think there will be too many people who will think otherwise. Second, you can feel it working within may be 20-30 minutes which is quite fast, in my opinion. Third, no jitters - only pure high energy and focus. Fourth, which I find most amazing, no stomach pains, cramps or uncomfortable bathroom visits. I just couldn't believe it. I was so sure this was only a one time, first use luck. I wanted to finish the tub completely to even write a review for it. My plan was, if it doesn't make me want to buy it again, it's not worth taking the time to write anything about it. I have to admit I feel like a complete fool for not listening my body before. What I can't figure out is, how in the world one tiny scoop manages to give energy to someone who is a heavy and strong coffee drinker? I remember some days one serving took me from state when I could barely keep my eyes open to full blown awesome workouts within 30 minutes or so. I can definitely tell you it's effectiveness on me isn't psychological at all because I started using this product with the highest skepticism you can imagine. Aside from its amazing taste, and mind blowing effectiveness, I certainly appreciate not having any stomach issues whatsoever. I am taking night classes and I fit my workouts right before class. You have no idea how amazing it feels to have full confidence I can attend my 2.5 hour classes with no problems. What's more is my wife also loves this product whose little stomach is way more sensitive than mine. This is the only supplement she actually takes and enjoys. In summary, it is unlikely this product will disappoint you. If you know how to read labels and ingredient lists, you will know this product is top notch. If you know (or decide) to listen your body, this product will prove to be a good fit. If you are skeptical, try it at least once and then decide. It's the best recommendation I can give to anyone.

I am still learning about pre-workout drinks and wanted to find one for women. I wanted one where I can drink without any jitters or bad taste and to give energy too workout, without feeling any bloating or giving gas and heart burn. I've tried other before and it was either to bitter or it gave me heartburn. In addition, it seems as I get older I tend to not have as much energy like when I was in my 20's, and 30's. So I came across this one (Red Leaf energizer). I ordered it b/c it suppose to be Natural and also made in the US. As I was drinking it I felt a tingling sensation in my face, ears, hands and arms. I was thinking what the heck is that?! Lol! At first I wasn't sure if it was the ac in my car trying to cool me off due to the heat outside or the drink?. I had to admit I got a little worried there. But then I had realized, it was the pre-workout drink. It was good, a sweet taste to it, not bitter or chalky. It gave me energy but after all, it was my first day trying it. So I have to wait and see in a couple more days if I get energized to give a proper rating. But I will give 4 stars ,for fast delivery and taste. Ok!l, had time to process. On my 2nd day trying the Red Leaf energizer, went well. I took it 15 minutes before going to the gym and it gave me energy. As I was heading to the gym I felt that tingling sensation again but then started to get a little warm, then my energy was going. I was excited ready to workout. It got me through my workout and I felt great afterwards. I like this preworkout drink. All though the price is great, the container is small and would perfer a larger one. But other than that I think this ia a great preworkout drink and I would buy it again. I would recommend this to my family and friends. And this is my honest opinion and I will give it the 5 stars.

I wish I could give this 5 stars, but I can't. I usually take C4, which is pretty good, but this stuff just tastes better and makes me feel better; that's the benefit to it. The way I take this stuff is I go one month or so on C4 until I run out, then I take about a week off of preworkouts and then switch back onto this stuff until it runs out. Why do I do that? Because C4 has practically the same things I'm looking for Caffeine, B vitamins and beta alanine, but C4 has creatine monohydrate in it that I like. The reason I start to take this is during an off cycle from the creatine. The reason why I can't give this 5 stars is because of the concentration of ingredients. For some people who want to go light on the caffeine and beta alanine this is for you, but for me I'd like to see more per scoop. The lower amount of caffeine in here is good, I would say they just need to raise it by a little more and the beta alanine by a lot and then I would be extremely satisfied with this product and it would only require 1 to 1.5 scoops depending on how I'm feeling that day. Overall, makes me feel ready for the gym without feeling like I'm putting some magical chemicals in my body. Good good product, wish I could give it 4.5 stars honestly.

When I began my fitness journey in 2012, I was gung-ho and full of energy because I was determined to join the gym and commit to working out 5x a week. In 2013 I began a new job and my energy was dwindling by the time I would hit the gym. My boyfriend had purchased Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer due to the flavor, both of us are huge lime fans. I tried his and was hooked, I even ended up using most of his before buying my own. I drink it about 30min before I hit the gym and I feel more alert, am able to work out for longer, and do not get fatigued easily while running/doing cardio. With Red Leaf there's no crash for me, I get steady energy and when it wears off it is gradual. There's no jolt or jitters either. Sometimes if I need a pick me up at work, I'll drink a glass and it provides just enough energy to perk up and get through the afternoon! It's perfect if you're caffeine sensitive like I am - other energizers mess with my entire day and I never wind down and cannot fall asleep at night. With Red Leaf, this is not the case. It is just enough energy to fuel your workout and push yourself. I've tried other energizers, but I am not a fan of their flavors (chocolate, vanilla, blue raspberry, tropical, etc). I find myself craving the cranberry-lime flavor and look forward to drinking it before a workout. I did find if I use less water (I usually use 8-12oz because my shaker is a 12oz one), the mixture tastes sweeter and the flavor is, of course, more concentrated. I tend to like things a bit watered down, so I usually fill up my whole shaker.

I really love this pre-workout so far....... First off, it really tastes fantastic. Second, I felt slight tingling, but nothing extreme, like I have with other pre-workouts that I have tried. I hate them, it feels like needles pricking me and makes me itch....nothing like feeling itchy during a workout. I used 2 scoops, because I am not overly sensitive to caffeine, about 30 minutes before I did my 45 minute cardio workout. It lasted me through that workout and still felt good. I probably could have done 30 more minutes or gone on to some circuit training. I could also see myself using this as a mid day pick up as well. So far it seems to be good, clean feeling energy. No let down, no crazy spike. I felt energized, without feeling crazy. I feel like my energy level and motivation was an even keeled experience. It is a bit pricey, IMO, but in reality, for the number of servings you get, it is not far and away more expensive. It is pretty evenly priced, comparatively. Now, if only they would get a subscribe and save option, I would love it!! It would be added to my list immediately! Just so a new buyer is not surprised, they container is quite small and is only about half full. I counted out the scoops, (1 scoop= 1 serving), and there is definitely 30 in there. Maybe one or two scoops more than that. So you are getting what is advertised. It is just a bit disconcerting opening a container that you pay 33 dollars for and finding it half empty!

I have tried to switch to more natural supplements because I recently have been doing research of my own on how certain brand products add extra ingredients that are typically not the best for your health so I went ahead and gave this a try. Pros: -Great taste -Natural feeling pump.(no tingling skin/itchy/hot flashes) -No crash. -Can be used as a energy drink alternative. -Not caffeine overloaded. -Uses natural ingredients to provide energy. -Has BCAAs in it and glutamines which are really good for recovery. Cons: -roughly about a $1/scoop but you are paying for quality over quantity. -Some people prefer the itchy feeling you get with some pre's if you do, this one is not for you. -Not a lot of choices in flavor(although this one tastes really good, some people like diversity). Overall score: 5 stars. Simply because it makes me feel great with no crash and it also supports muscle recovery and natural ingredients so you know exactly what you are putting into your body. I would say it is worth the dollar a scoop but I obviously wish it could be cheaper or at least bought in bulk.

If you're looking for a mostly natural or low caffeine pre-workout, this is your best bet. I've grown tired of all the pre-work outs that have crazy amount of caffeine (some have more than 300 mg!) and are full of artificial sweeteners. This is the only one I can find that has a moderate amount of caffeine at 40 mg/serving. It does have artificial sweeteners, although they are not listed on the label for some reason. The company responded to a question stating each serving has about "1/5 packet" of artificial sweetener. If you ask me, it probably isn't needed. This pre-workout is almost sickeningly sweet. It is one of the better tasting pre-workouts. It works pretty well. It won't send you into beast mode, but it will give you a little extra kick to get going in the morning. Only downside is the cost. It is more than $1/serving.

I've always favored training as naturally as possible and was a little resistant to succumbing to all the supplements, especially the ultra artificial pre-workout stuff. However due to the time I was going to the gym recently (before dinner) and my body's condition (I have lower blood pressure and that coupled with low blood sugar makes bad things happen, like seeing stars way more frequently than I normally would do (i.e. hitting maxes)) had me always a bit tired and lethargic during workouts and it was getting harder to focus, which was a bit of a problem when I primarily do Olympic style weightlifting. I have only used it once so far, so I can't speak too much about the long term effectiveness of this thing. I was bit worried about the jitters that I hear with the pre-workout's, but I really like that this one is more natural and have moderate caffeine so that it doesn't make me feel jittery even though I am very new to this whole pre-workout supplement thing. I have noticed increased focus and energy during workouts, and I was more aggressive with the lifts. Interestingly, it also affected my confidence and helped me to reduce the self doubt that inevitably happens when I am going for a new PR. Mixing it with water was a little grainy, but nothing too bad, and it tastes pretty good for what I can tell. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer and will continue to use it.
