Transparent Labs Bulk Pre Workout Powder - 30 Servings, Peach Mango

I got this a couple of days ago, but I just did my first workout with it. So, of course, I'm an expert now and qualified to leave a review. In my research before this purchase, I came across several mentions of the "beta-alanine tingling." I noted this, but who cares, right? Wrong. The "tingling" is less of a 'foot fell asleep' and more of a 'I'm doing yard work in the summer and got sand down the back of my shirt, and now it is irritating, and I can feel it grinding all over me'. I don't really notice it when I'm lifting, but during rests between sets I do, quite annoying, but not a reason to avoid purchase in my opinion. The instructions on the tub say to take a half scoop to gauge tolerance; I ignored this. You can choose to follow it if you want. If the beta-alanine experience I mentioned above would keep you from buying the product, then I would suggest following the instructions. If you're stubborn and a tough guy, take the full scoop. The instructions say to take it 15-20 minutes before a workout. I heeded this and took it at 2:45 a.m.; I started working out at 3:15 a.m. At the start of my second set, the tingling began. So, I would say their timing is accurate. I'm sure it is "working" before the tingling, but once the tingling arrives, all doubts about its presence are gone. As for the effectiveness once it starts. I usually allot 3 hours for my workout, and I often drag it past 3 hours. Today, I finished everything in 2.5 hours and still feel like doing more as I sit here writing this, and I still might after I finish. I would like to mention that I don't consume caffeinated products or products with added sugar. I drink milk, water, V8 splash's, that's it. So, a product like this may affect me more than it would someone who drinks energy drinks all the time, but I'm no expert, despite my claims at the beginning of this review. I do find it is quite effective for me. The taste is acceptable. I got Peach Mango, and I see no reason to switch. It has "bite" like a soda, despite not being carbonated. It isn't smooth like a juice, but that's not an issue; just an observation, so I won't be chugging it. It mixed well; I stirred it, and there was still some powder at the bottom of the cup. It would probably be better to shake it, but I'm fine with the results. Just added a bit more water after I finished to get the remaining powder. You may see in the images that it arrived as a clump. I believe they addressed this by adding quite a large desiccant pack to the product. So, when you open the tub, you'll find two things inside (besides the powder): a scoop and a desiccant package. Mine arrived without any clumps, so I am pleased. I wasn't too happy with it being $49, and I'm still not; however, as long as it works as well as it does, I'll keep my mouth shut about that. Do note, though, it is a 30-day serving @ $50, so that comes to $1.67 a day, and $608.33 a year. This assumes you workout daily, which I don't (6 days a week), so it will be a bit less, but still >$500. This is acceptable for me, but realize the commitment you're making if you make this one of your every workout products. I will continue buying it going forward, though, as I believe it is an excellent product.

This is the pre-workout you’ve been looking for! From a “drinkability” standpoint, absolutely delicious, the powder dissolves quickly & completely (literally now grainy residue)! I got the peach mango flavor and it’s very good, no puckering due to sourness. From an effectiveness standpoint, very solid energy and focus boost. I love that it I started feeling it very subtly and steadily, no jitters whatsoever, and no crash! This was definitely worth it in every aspect!

I bought it many times in the past, I usually just do half a scoop but even the full one is fine as there is not a lot of caffeine compared to other products It is on the pricier side, but it can be justified by the quality. Very smooth flavor and gives a nice energy boost. It dissolves very easily in water. I highly recommend it

Gives me energy and focus i get the tingling throughout my body without crazy jitters. It works so well that I need to always keep an eye on the time because a 1 hour workout can be turned into a 2 hr workout with this product!

Works as advertised. It’s really does give you that extra effort during workouts. It doesn’t give you any shortcuts but does amplify your gym time. Tastes pretty good too!

Pretty good overall

Does it work? Yes. Is it good for you? No. This stuff is clean and third party tested but I’ll tell you the truth, you’re messing up your heart by taking this. How do I know? Because my doctor told me the same thing. taste and texture is fine kinda like medicine, ironic right? Gives you the poops real bad though after you take it. I’d be taking a solid dump before each workout. They should rename it to “pre-dump workout”. That would be a little more accurate. This brand is great but pre workout in general will mess you up. Just saying.

Wow, what a difference. I've been using a different product since I got back into the gym and didn't really get any benefits from it. I've been using this product for just over a week and I've already been making gains in the gym several times in the past week, on multiple different exercises, with absolutely zero jitters, zero after affects, no sudden urgent trips to the bathroom, etc. This also doesn't have the usual tingling/jolting feeling that you get from a lot of pre-workout drinks. The flavor could be better but it's not terrible and so far, it's the only downfall. I'll be buying this again and again and again!
