Tastes ok, the sour watermelon was better

The stuff works, it tastes okay, the sour watermelon flavor was a lot better. I'm not sure why the buyers thought it was a great idea to go with just this flavor.

Solid Energy, No Jitters

I've been trying RAW Nutrition CBUM Essential Pre-Workout, and honestly, it's pretty solid. It gives you a nice boost of energy and focus without making you feel jittery or crashing later. The mix of ingredients like L‑citrulline, beta-alanine, and 200 mg of natural caffeine hits that sweet spot for endurance and pumps. It mixes easily, tastes good, and feels smooth — no weird chalky texture. If you're looking for something mild to moderate, it's perfect for regular gym days. Just don't expect it to hit like some of the super intense pre-workouts out there. Overall, I'd say it's a reliable, beginner-friendly daily booster.

The perfect daily pre.

This formula is perfect for daily use. 200mg of caffeine provides a nice boost of energy without being excessive, and is easy to balance with other sources of caffeine throughout the day. I don't experience an energy crash or jitters. For tolerance reference, I consume about 400mg of caffeine daily including this formula.The formula is very gentle on my digestive system. I have consumed it with an empty and full stomach with no issues.The flavors are outstanding. They are easy to drink daily without becoming fatigued of the same flavor (nothing stopping you from buying multiple flavors though!). My favorites are White Cherry, Raspberry Creamthickle, and Watermelon Grape.Tingles: this formula does pack a decent punch with 3.2g of beta-alanine. I prefer the tingle; I feel it on my face and shoulders and it really helps me wake up and lock in. If you are sensitive to beta-alanine or don't prefer the tingle, consider the Essential Tingle-Free formula!

It's a great pre workout. rarely makes me itch all over usually only ever need 1 scoop. I would love it if the brought back the Watermelon. After a year of my berry I could use a break (add a splash a lemonade just to make it taste different every now and then).

Really good pre workout

The essential pre workout is great! I can definitely feel that little bit of extra energy from it without any jitters. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for that little bump of energy without the jitters or tingling sensation.

It tastes like it's name

Honestly bum does taste a bit like bum, at least compared to alternatives like c4 specifically. It's after taste is too chemical and artificial sweetener vibes. I really wish Sam's Club would carry Hawaiian Punch c4.

Pre-workout

It's good but it's very sweet if you are looking for something less sweet.

Pre workout

Your pre workout don't dissolve. Sad. So everyone you are just drinking gritty flavored water..... Just tell people just to scoop it in their mouth dry then drink water or whatever after. Disappointment. In addition, only has 200 mg caffeine so most of us are going to need to buy more supplements to achieve the results you want. Time to move on. Yes I have been shaking for a good 10 minutes. Terrible.

Don't waste your money

If I could give this product a zero I would. After trying this product several times it had no caffeine boost or energy boost at all. DO NOT Purchases this product. The taste of the product is ok. Normally, within 30 minutes of taking the product you feel the energy kicking in. I didn't feel any energy boost at all. Again, don't waste your money.
