Naked Energy

Highly recommend! Give a great energy boost. I take 1 heaping scoop (.65 servings) and it works well enough for me for intense early morning athletic workouts. I feel focused, not jittery. I like that the caffeine is a bit less than some and there is no sugar. About the flavor: note that alone, this tastes slightly like baking soda, (I wrongly assumed it might be flavorless) but when paired with a drink with even light flavor it's not bad or noticeable. I usually prefer bland flavors but using this in water solo might be unpleasant even for me; but to each their own.

This product is GREAT! I also use their Creatine and it dissolves perfectly into anything with no flavor. As a pre workout it is great! I take one scoop and get a little tingle in my face after I get to the gym and start working out. Not too much caffeine just the right amount to wake me up. 12/10 I purchased The Naked Energy "Unflavored" because I wanted the fewest amount if ingredients as possible. The taste I can't even describe. Its bitter for sure, just terrible honestly. BUT! That's what I paid for, and the company delivered. Its nothing they did, its just the fact your drinking raw supplements which aren't meant to taste good. I original plan was to mix it into a small amount of water in the morning like a shot. That was terrible. I have dry scooped it since the second day and that has worked the best. Its a great product just get the flavored kind, your future self will thank you.

The kitchen light hummed, reflecting off the pristine white seal of the "Naked Energy" tub. This was supposed to be the final piece of the puzzle, the fuel for the late-night sessions and the 5:00 AM grinds. I held the container, expecting the reassuring heft of a full pound of supplement. Instead, it felt light, hollow, and deceptive. As I rotated the tub, the Strawberry Lemonade label seemed to mock me with its bright pink promises. Through the plastic, the silhouette of the powder told a grim story: a vast, empty canyon of air sitting atop a shallow floor of dust. "Nothing to hide," the label proudly proclaimed. I hadn’t even cracked the seal, yet I was already looking at the bottom of the jar. In a world of rising costs and blatant shrinkflation, this felt personal. It wasn’t just about the missing scoops; it was about the principle. I’m out here putting in 100% of the work in the gym to reach my goals, but the brand I trusted couldn't even manage to put 100% of the product in the jar. Absolute shame.

I've tried plenty of other pre-workouts and all the others I've tried gave me the same negative side effects... They make me feel bloated, give me gas, and make me constantly belch up disgusting flavors while I'm working out which is not a good feeling lifting and doing cardio plus it sounds gross. I take two-scoops of this with about twice the recommended amount of water, I do an hour of cardio 5x weekly and I haven't had any negative side effects. No gas, no belching, no bloating. The focus and energy you get is good and 100-200mg of caffeine is really my max and preference I'd want in a pre-workout for those that are caffeine sensitive but need a boost, a serving size is 2 scoops and you would do fine with 1 scoop and 8oz of water for 100mg of caffeine. For those that need 300-500+ mg of caffeine in a pre-workout this isn't for you... I would say no one needs that much caffeine for energy to go workout, I'd say what you are missing is the motivation. If you want something that tastes good, well look somewhere else... I bought the fruit-punch just to try out a flavor and I wish I had bought the flavorless. It tastes like kool-aid with no sugar, so it's extremely tart. To offset this I usually throw in a cup of frozen blue berries after I mixed it up to make it cold and to give it some sort of sweetness and that helps a lot. Overall this is probably the best pre-workout I've had. It gives you everything you need and nothing you don't need -- Energy, focus, no crashes, no bloat or gas. I recommend people go with flavorless, you'll love this product and probably never go back to anything else. Cheers!

I am brand new to using pre-workout and this one seems to do well for me. The taste is not great but you only need to drink 8oz. of it. I think it does give me more energy for my workout! I like that it’s all natural and not a bunch of garbage.

I’m a mom of young children with not a lot of time to go off to the gym by myself. I prefer to run or do an at-home workout anyway. And while I do like to work out, being at home can inhibit me from getting started. More and more I have been needing some kind of energy-boosting supplement and I’m SO glad I found Naked Energy! I add it to a glass of water and stir with my little hand-held whisk and chug the whole thing down. The flavor is not pleasant per se, but it’s not the worst. I just appreciate that it’s not laden with sugar or artificial sweeteners. The first time I used it, I got a pins and needles feeling in my fingers that I wasn’t expecting, along with an awesome burst of energy. I figured both were from the Naked Energy, and I then found out the tingle is from the beta-alanine and is totally normal. I’ve taken it 6 times in the last two weeks, about 15 minutes before I start my workout. I don’t feel jittery at all; just energized and with a boost of “let’s do this!” I recommend!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I picked this product because it has clean ingredients. The flavor is not so good but I will still use so I'm not using a product that has unnecessary or harmful ingredients.

Great product, gives me the energy I need to have a productive workout, and I only use 1 scoop, I bought the fruit punch flavor and its not bad at all, I just tasts like very diluted fruit punch, I will buy this again when I run out

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.

Tastes like crap but if u mix it with lemonade it's not too bad but it's the best pre workout I ever had! lots of energy going to the gym and even after I was done! I love that's its not filled with garbage like sugar or artificial sweetners

This is a great pre workout. also if you do the math you get more servings for your buck then most on the market and no crap ingredients. It does add a bitter taste so I recommend to add it to juice or a water flavor of your choice.

A couple of things are important when it comes to supplements, but I'll touch on two: taste, and performance. First, the good - Performance: If I were rating this product ONLY on performance, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I first tried it with one scoop, and it was okay - but I found that it worked the best for me with 1.5 - 2 scoops. It gave me a clean energy, and no crash at the end of my workout. I did feel like it lacked something though, but maybe that's just because I'm used to products like C4's pre-workout or Vega pre-workout. Either way, it worked well, but not the best. I do enjoy that it didn't have any flavour or colours, and I also appreciate that there wasn't a listing of 30+ ingredients on the jar. Which, brings me to the next point... Then, the bad - Taste: In all honesty here - negative 1 star for taste... I tried a few ways of mixing this. Water only, almond milk (sweetened and vanilla), coconut water, orange juice, apple juice, lemon juice... Nothing could take away the medicinal taste that this gives off. I tried sipping it with juice, I tried chugging it as a shot... Both were NOT enjoyable experiences. (And, to be a little gross here - burping after drinking this stuff? Don't expect to forget the taste it leaves in your mouth any time soon after...) That, unfortunately, is the trade-off for using a supplement that doesn't have any sugar (or sugar subs), flavour, or anything else. The last time I used this, I had to mix it with a BCAA mixture I have just so that I could get it down. But - my BCAA mixture has some other sweetener, so there goes the one main benefit of using this pre-workout. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a clean source of pre-workout energy, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has sensitive taste buds or who can't handle medicinal tastes. It's pretty bad in the taste department, but if you're 100% committed to cutting out sugar and sugar substitutes, just take a shot back as if you were playing the "Roxanne" [by The Police] drinking game in your old college pub. And, make sure you have a good chaser.
