Nutricost Pre-X Xtreme Pre-Workout Complex Powder (Fruit Punch) 60 Servings

Where do I even begin? Having spent over 20 years in the fitness industry, I’ve tested nearly every pre-workout on the market. This formula is, by far, the most complete product I’ve encountered. Flavor & Mixability: I actually look forward to the Fruit Punch every morning. It’s perfectly tart, smooth, and—most importantly—it dissolves completely. There’s zero grittiness and no medicinal aftertaste. Unbeatable Value: Most retail pre-workouts run $45–$60 for standard sizes. This brand has completely disrupted the market by offering double the servings at a fraction of the cost. The longevity of this tub is unmatched. Performance & Potency: The energy is dialed in perfectly. You get the "tingles" without the over-stimulation, allowing you to lock in and work. I’ve taken this through heavy lifting sessions straight into hour-long rides with zero crash—just the satisfaction of a finished workout. I’ve trusted this brand's supplements for a year, but I wish I had switched to their pre-workout sooner. It’s officially a staple in my routine.

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.

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.

Absolutely loaded with all you need! Great part is no crash or jitters if anything an absolutely phenomenal focus! Great pump great blood flow during the workout! Fullness from the first set! Pair it with the nitric oxide booster and you have a top tier pump! No itchy or scratchy feeling at all! Price is solid price point for servings and honestly better flavor and potency than most name brand! It’s by far the most effective pre I’ve used without having to be high on stim! Great sustained energy as well!

Cheap, good tasting, and well formulated. The texture is pretty decent too.

Works as advertise, but the taste is awful. And it does make you feel a little nauseous for a while.

I am well versed in pre-workouts (2+ decades). Caveat: I do prefer the high stim variety. This is the best I have had in YEARS. Throw in the price...such an easy choice. Do it!

Great taste and clean energy, no jitters.

this product had a good ingredient profile but the taste is so bad it has a really strong chemical taste that i really struggle to drink if you are someone who doesn't mind the taste and wants the performance then you should try it . its very cost effective compared to other pre workouts overall i would give it a 6/10
