I received a 4 serving tub of Nutrabio's PW in the new Cherry Limeade flavor to
tryout and review so a HUGE thanks to Kon_Rock and Nutrabio for graciously
giving me the opp to try this new flavor. I'm no stranger to this PW and I've
tried and reviewed some of the other flavors in the past and I liked the effects
of it so I was definitely up to try the new flavor.
I received my 4 serving container and I spread the workouts over the course
of 10 days so that I could use other pre's with different profiles on other days
since I'm a big fan of NOT using the same PW every weight training session so
that I vary my caffeine and stimulants so I don't build a tolerance to anyone
formula. I also wanted to try each serving with different water amounts so that
I could give feedback on which amount I liked best and I do have other pre's on
hand in Cherry Lime flavor so I could compare the flavors.
I weighed out the scoop and it was a PERFECT 30 gm at level each and
every time so the scoop size is on point.

Ingredient Profile- 9.5/10- This is a LOADED profile with a hefty 28.5 - 30 gm scoop depending
on the flavor and ALL dosages of the ingredients are fully disclosed down to the flavoring and
sweetener. There are ingredients that some might look at and say you don't need in a PW which
I agree but from my experience with this PW it just seems like everything comes together to
really give you a totally GOOD workout experience.
The only ingredient I would tone down in this this profile is that HEFTY 300mg of L-Theanine
which I know some people like but for me it just tones down the energy and focus from
hitting me the way I like and I personally feel pre's shouldn't have more than 100mg. I've tried
pre's with 200mg or more and again the energy and focus just doesn't hit and when I've tried
a PW with 100mg the overall effects of the energy and focus comes through better with still
NO crash later in the day.

This was ^^^^14oz of water and it had a strong lime flavor with
something else that couldn't figure yet if it was cherry.
Mixability-9/10- The first time I used it and I went with the recommended amount
of ice cold water which was 14oz and it mixed with barely any foam and just a little
residue and sediment which is expected when your using a PW with over 10gm of
powder and this one has 30gm so the mixability for this amount of powder is VERY
good. I had no issues at all with the mixability at each of the water amounts that
I used whenever I took this PW.
Taste-8/10- I tried this at 3 different water amount 14oz, 17-18oz, and today at
20oz and the flavor doesn't get watered down at any of those amounts and it
just taste stronger at 14oz but again even at 20oz which is usually what I like
for my pre's the flavor was still strong.
At each water amount I always got that tangy lime flavor which I like but I really
didn't get a heavy cherry flavor and for me it came through as a very refreshing
juice type flavor which at 20oz almost had a pink grapefruit flavor. I definitely
wouldn't have an issue going through a tub of this flavor and honestly though the
Apple is my favorite I would go through any of the flavors with no issues at all.
Just an FYI I did have a sample of the Blue Raspberry a while back and I thought
that was done well and for all of the people who don't like that heavy artificial color
this one is colored with Spirulina so that is a BIG +
Energy/Focus- 8/10- The energy on this comes in really smooth even though it has
350mg of caffeine but some of it is in the form of a time released version so it doesn't
hit all at once. The 300mg of L-Theanine I've already mentioned also keeps the energy
from hitting too hard. The energy doesn't hit hard but whatever energy you do feel it
remains consistent throughout your workout and there isn't any energy crash or stomach
issues later in the day. I would definitely love to feel this PW with just 100mg of the
L-Theanine and I'm sure it would be a bit more to my liking in the energy and focus
effects.
Performance- 10/10- What this PW lack's in hard hitting energy it makes up everywhere
else because the pumps are excellent, power is there each an every set where you'll be
pushing and lifting either heavier or doing more reps, and the endurance is definitely there
where you can take your workouts into much higher reps and volume without running out
of gas. That tank always feels like it's running on high octane which is where that hefty
profile of ingredients come into play and again I know I and others would say some of
the ingredients are unnecessary in a PW but it just all comes together for a very good
workout experience.
Overall-9/10- There is a reason why this PW has remained in the top 5 for so long
when it comes to conventional pre's with no exotic stimulants and it's because of
the very good workouts you experience each and every time you use this. I definitely
recommend giving this Nutabio PRE a try and this Cherry Limeade for me is a very
refreshing juice type flavor which is a bit different from the other Cherry Lime flavored
pre's that I've had from PROSupps, Dymatize, Controlled Labs, Iforce, and Top Secret.

This was today's dosage of water 20oz and it had a bit of a pink grapefruit
type flavor so for me 20oz is what I like and that's usually the amount I use
for all my pre's cause I find them to be less sweeter and I can taste the
flavor better with more water.
I train fasted first thing in the a.m. so I ALWAYS drink plenty of water before
I train so 20oz or more water in my pre's is nothing for me and my stomach
never feels heavy from the amount of water I consume before training.
What I feel from the bigger dose of water is that my muscles pump up
quickly and my vascularity pops as soon as I start lifting and even on leg
days my arms look pumped and vascular as if I just trained them so again
water is my best friend.

I did mention that I had a sample of the Blue Raspberry when this flavor first
came out a few months ago and this is a pic of what the color looks like as
opposed to the heavy bright blue's of other pre's that use this flavor.
This had a slightly different shade of blue with the natural Spirulina used
and the flavor was actually pretty good and as I mentioned all the flavors
are decent considering the hefty dose of ingredients.

First thing I do when I get out of bed in the morning is down a 16oz glass of
water with my favorite joint supp cissus and if I'm using a herbal booster I
take that also and then about 10 min later I consume my PW with about 20- 24 oz
of more water so before training I have over 32oz of water in my system.
I usually consume about a gallon and a 1/2 of water throughout the day.
