MRM Nutrition Driven Pre Workout Powder - Mixed Berry Flavor - 29 Servings

There are a ton of pre-workouts out there on the market, but more often than not, they use artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavorings. And if you find one that is more natural, they usually charge an outrageous amount. But here we have the under-the-radar MRM Driven - natural sweeteners, flavorings, and colors, and a price point often at or below your typical cheap Walmart C4 pre-workout (especially if you can catch this on a deal). Taste: so with natural sweeteners, it's not going to be the sweetest tasting pre-workout out there, some of the ingredients can be difficult to cover their bitter taste. So on it's own beware it's not going to be like your artificially sweetened pre-workouts. Mix with something else flavored and your good to go though. Or use less liquid to concentrate the flavor. Otherwise from MRM's side, I think they could reformulate this with a bit more citric acid to add more of that sour taste that helps mask the bitter ingredients, and add a bit more from the sweeteners as well. Ingredients: This isn't a high stim pre-workout at about 125mg of caffeine per serving, a little more than a cup of coffee. The other ingredients, without going in to detail, I think could use a bit of retuning or have increased amounts based on research studies for more effective dosing, but for the price and the natural ingredients, I'm ok with what I get, though I think they could keep the price point even with adjustments. I definitely support MRM for their efforts in keeping ingredients natural and for keeping their price point very reasonable. I have been using this pre-workout for a couple years now and will continue to do so in the future.

This is one of my favorite prework out supplements. I have been using MRM products and this preworkout in particular for years now. Despite what other reviews may think, I think the taste is not bad and the consistency is good. I have taken a lot of workout products and a very avid workout person. If you are not use to supplements, it may take a little time getting use to the taste and consistency but I will tell you this one is better than a lot of other ones I have tried. The biggest reason I take this pre workout over others is because it doesn't have any artificial ingredients including artificial sugar. Artificial sugars are a big ingredient in most workout supplements which drives me crazy! There is evidence of how bad they are for your health yet they are being added to these supplements that are supposed to be used to better your health through exercise. Pros: Price - price is very reasonable for a pre workout supplement Taste - a pleasant taste and good consistency though it may take a little getting use to if you are new to workout supplements Quality - no artificial sweeteners which is a BIG PLUS! If you are trying to be healthy through exercise but taking workout supplements with artificial sweeteners than you are being counterproductive Efficient - good clean energy without feeling jittery (this is something that is hard to find with a pre workout supplement, most will make you feel extra jittery or you get a big niacin flush (that skin crawling feeling)) I haven't had this happen much with this supplement. I am only 115lbs and take the recommended dosage and I just get a light niacin flush but a lot of focus and energy to power through my high demand workouts.

This gives me energy without making me jittery. Honestly I use it sometimes instead of coffee in the morning. Here is an overview of my main pros and cons. Pros: -Sugar free -Clean energy, no jitters -Good taste (a bit on the sweet side) -Lasted me a while. I use a scoop about 4-5 days a week and its lasted me months. Cons -Artificial sweeteners (wish it was a little less sweet) -Can harden without the moisture removal packet it comes with(I accidentally through it out halfway through the bottle) -Sometimes it doesn't dissolve completely leaving some grit on the bottom of my blender bottle. I would recommend this product. I might try a few other sugar free pre workout supplements, but I can see myself coming back to this since all my complaints are pretty minor.

I really like this pre-workout. I haven't gotten the chance to try too many pre-workouts without artificial sweeteners, but I've tried tons that did have stuff like Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, etc. This one, along with "Honey Badger" are great if you're looking for something without the artificial stuff. The sweeteners used in here are ones like sugar and Stevia leaf extract (Stevia actually has benefits on it's own). I would give this pre-workout a taste of maybe 3.5 out of 5, maybe almost a 4 (depending on my mood for the taste). It doesn't taste the greatest but I really don't mind it much either. I'm not exactly drinking it for taste though anyway. It has a lot of ingredients I look for in a pre-workout: B-vitamins, Electrolytes (good for hydration), Arginine (contains a good bio-available form called AAKG), Creatine Monohydrate, Beta-Alanine, Citrulline (Amino like Arginine, has synergy with Arginine), Betaine, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (Another amino acid - precursor to Dopamine), Caffeine, and other ingredients. It may not work for everybody and may not taste great to everyone, but if you're looking for a pre-workout that's natural and doesn't contain anything artifical, I would give this one a try at least once. It feels much cleaner, in my opinion, than pre-workouts that contain stuff like Sucralose and then also usually have way too much caffeine and stimulants in them. I'm prone to anxiety and the jitters sometimes, but with Driven, the effects are always clean and smooth. For reference, there is about 125 mg. of caffeine in each serving. If a person truly wanted, they could take two servings (even the label says 1-2 scoops is fine).

This pwo is pretty good used to use it in hs and then stopped training up until 3 years ago. Ingredients are overall pretty good at 65 cents a serving. Downing this is always a task, but it does give me a clean sense of energy for about 40 minutes. The drink doesn't always dissolve and sometimes does have clumps, taste is very sour and gross and would gladly pay a dollar a serving for this to taste better.

This is a good, nutrition packed, naturally sweetened preworkout powder. If you're looking to boost health while boosting your energy and focus, this is a great one. It's also a good preworkout to cycle between other preworkouts. Using natural sweeteners is important in case you haven't looked up the effects of artificial sweeteners yet. This is a great product that has had a great price too. Thank you for making this!

(First off let me state, before you by this product read the reviews. Before you read the reviews check out the other people who wrote these reviews. Click on the reviewers name and see if they only reviewed products made by this manufacturer "MRM".) I had high expectations for this product, one of the main reasons I purchased this pre-workout was because it was cheaper than other pre workouts and it did not have any controversial cancer causing sweetener. Thats the good.. This is a great pre workout if you have not tried other pre workouts that have give you that pump. Now the bad.. No pump, I was waiting for the pump (ENERGY)... Whatever energy I had was lost after the first 30 minutes of working out, which is bad because I spend about 10 minutes stretching out and warming up.. I tried using two scoops and it my energy lasted a bit longer but still no real PUMP... I tried mixing it with a small dose of other pre workouts and I feel that I just hit a placebo. One of the other down sides is that this product contains creatine, which is not a bad thing. I found out that in this proprietary blend, their is a 1450 mg of creatine monohydrate per serving. Creatine is fine but, I do not like to retain water weight, creatine does give you a pump but this product does not give me that pump. This product does have Arginine AKG that does give you boost of energy but not enough in one serving size to have any real affect. So overall, this is product is okay but it lacks that OOMPH! That other pre-workouts have..

Great product!
