Gold Standard Pre-Workout Energy Shot, Ready to Drink Food Supplement with Beta Alanine, Caffeine, PerforMelon Boost and Vitamin B6 and B12, Mixed Berry Flavour, 12-Pack, 12 x 60 ml

Extraordinary. Extreme. My darling hero or I become a hero for others with this shot ! This doesn’t cause any issues of your colon clearing after drinking it but it does boost concentration and energies. I use this for my desk works for my defence and ultra complex issues get easy and I can face anything with courage. It however does stimulates my nervous system like an electric shock and I feel a bit of shaky sensation after a shot like others commented . Slightly scary. Obviously I am not going to use this ultra strong shot except my true necessity. But I am facing the most challenging moment of my life now . The effect is dramatic. I really appreciate the product . My brain works . Hopefully this hardship stops and I turn this to my best opportunity of my life . It doesn’t depress me after use . For sports I use the powder version. When you are hyper challenged and got to face tough situations, and you desperately want to demonstrate your strength. This will help you like a hero to instantly wake you up and make you get focused. The effect lasts long hours for me . I have no issues with sleeping after a shot . But I would use this only when I am hyper challenged. I would not take them regularly as hyper strong to slap my nerves.

After hitting a slight plateau - I managed to overcome and achieve a new bench PR today. I purchased the Cola flavour and they taste fine. It's slightly concentrated but nothing crazy, I didn't have a sour aftertaste and it went down well. I am someone who has around 3 black coffees a day; with this context, I did not get itchiness or any sort of anxiety/shakes from this. I felt that I could focus on mind-muscle connection more which is a bonus and probably why I managed to hit a PR. The energy boost felt smooth and not a spike. It took around 15 minutes to start kicking in. These work out to be around £1.26 per shot which I think is worth it. Pair it with water + electrolytes you've got a smashing session ahead.

Found these to work well, made my skin tingle, so know they’re doing what they should be doing. They came loose is a box, not in the original packaging which I find to be very unprofessional.

I used to use a powder in my water bottle but struggled to drink it all before a workout. These are literally great to have in the car and drink on the way to the gym. These taste is quite bitter however work quickly and I always have a better workout. Ordering again soon.

Super handy shot size, to keep in my rucksack, workout bag, or even my car. A good alternative to sugary energy drinks. Consistent quality that you can expect from Optimum Nutrition, which I’ve trusted as my go-to supplement brand for years. The ready-to-drink shots lack some ingredients of powder based pre-workouts, such as creatine, but still provides a decent boost. The flavours are very strong aa expected for a PWO shot but tasty nonetheless.

I initially found these quite sour the first few I had but realised they work great and quickly got used to the flavour soon after. My morning routine is to run between 5-10km before work and I take one of these shots 20-25 mins before I start. Considering I am finishing upto a 10k run by 8am I’d say they do the trick! I do get a tingly/itchy sensation in my face and hands about 10-15 mins after I take the shot but it doesn’t last too long and it’s not too severe. Certainly worth having one of these than not. I have tried a couple other pre work out shots from the gym vending machines but this is still my preferred brand and flavour and get this on subscribe and save.

Don’t taste very nice but seem to give that boost of energy

Taste good. Gives a kick. Perfect shot before workouts.
