Natural Force Raw Tea All Natural Pre Workout Powder, Original Flavor – Best Preworkout for Men and Women Made from 15 Premium Herbs and Superfoods *Powerful Energy Booster

Performance: I am a petite (110 lbs) girl, who rarely has caffeine. I tried this for the first time today, because I just received it and was excited. I wasn't planning to go to the gym, but had a lot to do, so I figured it be good to try today. WOW! First of all, I didn't get shaky like I typically do with caffeine or high amounts of guarana. I felt like a dang super hero, not gonna lie. Got everything done with energy to spare. You cannot take this and just sit there or you will burst out of your skin (or at least that's how I felt). There's no way I would be able to do 2 scoops as the label suggest for veterans. It made me sweat a little bit, or maybe that was just from me moving around so much, not sure. If you're use to caffeine and/or are bigger, I think this would still work nicely for you, you may end up taking more than me, but maybe not.Cons: The taste is pretty strong, but you get use to it after a few minutes. It's not sweet at all, so I added a tiny amount of stevia, so that it would be more palatable. It does taste like a strong herbal tea, into the warmer spectrum. Meaning it tastes reminiscent of cinnamon mixed with clove and maybe some ginger, with a vitamin like twang. I did not enjoy the taste, but like I said, I got over that really quickly. You can definitely taste the bee pollen. YES, it has Bee pollen and royal jelly, so if you are allergic to bees or if you have really bad allergies, you may have a problem with this product. I have minor allergy issues and this made my throat a little itchy, but no serious issues.THE WORST PART FOR ME: It made me totally mindless. I've made a thousand typos in this review, which I usually don't do. Several times I've walked into a room (quickly because I'm pretty jacked up) and forgot what I was going in there for. That happens to me, but not 5 times in 30 minutes. I also tried to pay my credit card bill and had a hard time trying to figure out if my balance was wrong. Perhaps I haven't exerted enough energy, because I didn't hit an actually workout, besides going for a light walk/jog with the kids after I finished everything, but the mindlessness is a little bit annoying and that's why I didn't give 5 stars. I will definitely take this again and yes, I recommend it to health conscious people who still want a boost to get crap done (in the gym and elsewhere).

I’ve been using this for years and at first I used it to work out, slowly shifting to drinking it like ritual tea or morning coffee. I like the flavor and the energy spike. Not sure it’s strong enough for a full lifting workout but it’s a great supplement.

Raw Tea, is a quality product. I have done the big stimulant pre workouts, and through becoming more educated on ingrediants. Including an ingrediant I was unknowingly taking that the FDA outlawed... because it was linked to cerebral hemoraging... NATURAL FORCE has quality natral ingrediants that give you good results. I trian hard everyday and am exhausted the next day. Raw tea keeps me training every day and training well, and I can take it with a clear conscious that it wont give me future problems. I also am not a super vascular guy genetically, I dont have visible veins usually ever. First day, I got a crazy pump. Veins I have never seen before in my forarms, shoulders, bicepts, and even hands. I have been on it for 4 days now and each day a get a good pump, not as rediculous as the first day but definatly good.It also smells good to me, tast is a bit od at first but easy to get used to.All and all im very pleased.

I love this stuff for a clean source of energy and focus before my workouts. It's the only pre I've found without artificial coloring or sweeteners and it doesn't give me the jitters. The only thing I dislike is the price, but we all know being healthier usually comes at a cost. This tiny container actually lasted me a good amount of time while working out daily and I am ordering my second batch two months later. The taste is especially good considering the lack of chemical sweeteners, etc. I also find it helps with vascularity.UPDATE 1/21/15: After purchasing my second batch of this preworkout, I can barely drink the new batch. It does not mix well - it never fully dissolves no matter what, the taste is more harsh, and it foams A LOT more to where I am drinking half foam. I understand changes are sometimes necessary but this is a completely different product now that I do not look forward to drinking anymore. I am forced to drop my 5 star review down to 2 because I don't even want to drink this new batch and that is absolutely not worth the cost. I am not sure what the company is doing but I hope it is just my batch. I will watch new reviews before ordering again.UPDATE 3/19/15: As it turns out, this small company has surprisingly EXCELLENT customer service. The owner contacted me after my previous review and I was able to try out their new Peach Tea flavor. The new batch foams much less, mixes much better, and tastes absolutely delicious! The only pieces that do not blend entirely are the organic bee pollen bits, but they are very small and not bothersome or gritty. This company went above and beyond to make my order right and I wholly appreciated their efforts and wish more companies would strive for this level of service. Thanks again, Justin! I have been able to use it before every work out this week! :)
