Transparent Labs Stim-Free Pre-Workout - Caffeine & Stim Free Pre Workout Powder for Men and Women with Beta Alanine Powder, Citrulline Malate, & elevATP - 30 Servings, Strawberry Lemonade

First, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. Some of the reviews here had me dreading it, but I've tried both strawberry lemonade and blue raspberry, and can happily report that they're both decent. It's about the flavor you'd expect if Monster Energy made a strawberry lemonade or blue raspberry flavor....not something you'd drink for fun, but if you can handle Monster, this will taste fine.As for effectiveness, I bought both Lean and Stim-Free, and both of them make an immediate and noticeable difference. I can't yet comment on long term gains, but what I can say is:After taking Lean for just a week, I added two reps for both pull-ups and bench press, and that's after being stuck on a plateau for bench for the past few weeks. I was also massively more energetic during my initial warmup.I also took Stim-Free before a morning jog. I noticed a clear tingling sensation in my face and chest, which is one of the potential side effects associated with greater bloodflow. I'm not a very good runner and usually get lactic acid pain pretty quickly, but during this run, there was no lactic acid at all, which is one of the main benefits that Stim-Free claims. I felt purely limited by how hard I was breathing and not by muscle pain.One week in and I'm already a clear five stars. I'll check back in once I have evidence of long term gains.

This works well for me. I can definitely feel a difference in my workout. I'm able to get a couple extra reps in with less rest between sets. Also helps me focus. I didn't experience any of the side affects listed by others (nausea, tingling, etc..), however, because I tend to have a hard time getting enough sleep, I only use 1/2 the dose and limit my coffee intake to 1/2 cup in the morning before workout. I use the Tropical Punch flavor and it tastes better than I was expecting. Can't comment on other flavors. It does have Stevia, which I personally don't care for, but I don't notice it in this brand/flavor, but again, I only use 1/2 dose. In the end, everybody's different so you just have to take all the reviews with a grain of salt and try stuff to see if it works for you. TL is kind of on the expensive end and it would be nice if they didn't include natural flavors, but on the balance I'm happy with it and will continue to use it. I'd recommend to others.

I really loved this product, i use before my cycling training and i had improve my strength and general performance . Zero tingle feelings when use as i read before buy on sevaral comments

I’m nightshift and have to workout after work and must sleep right after. This has way better ingredient amounts compared to other common preworkouts and I appreciate the straight up information. Solid amount of Citrulline & Beta Alanine for a pump (compare to others) for a solid pump. Pretty much sold me to switch over completely to this brand.

Love the tingle feeling on a preworkout without the caffeine and crash

I cannot comment on the effectiveness as I mainly use pre workout as a method to make myself go to the gym and keep up the habit when I don't want to. However, it should be illegal to call something "Blue Raspberry" when the product contains no artificial color flavors or sweeteners. This is disgusting and does not resemble "Blue Raspberry" at all, this is blatant false advertising. Blue Raspberry is the single most artificial flavor in existence so there is no way to make it recognizable without artificial flavors, possibly without artificial sweeteners, but the blue color is part of the flavors identity. Other flavors may be fine, but calling this Blue Raspberry is the supplement equivalent of a war crime.

I bought this product to try and use a stim free pre-workout drink since I get plenty of caffeine each day from other sources. It did the job, I didn't feel jittery, no weird side effects. That being said, the taste was not something I enjoyed. That is the only reason I rated it low, the taste wasn't personally appealing and im not gonna drink something that taste bad no matter how well it works.

Great choice if you're looking to lower or stop caffeine use.Taste and texture are good.
