Greetings !

Thank you for selecting me to trial your new beta flavor Blu-Raz.

I hope to be able to provide some anecdotal feedback to further enhance your product developement.

I got my sample prior to vacation and was using primarily as an energy boost late in the day.

Look for updates soon whwere I'll be incorporating Supersize - Blu-Raz pre workout and try my best to detail the effects.

In the past few days I have randomly selected some testers to help me with the taste profile.

here are the results - note, all testers are not users of PreWO mix's

AGE Gender Comment
17 Female Tolerable but would not drink unless it did something

46 Male Good, tastes like grape 5hr energy and Sprite zero

23 Male Too sweet, with an aftertaste, would it be enjoyable to drink the reply was “no”

50 Male Ok flavor, tastes similar to Milo drink mix.

55 Female Too sweet, wouldn’t get through it, funny after taste

35 Female It’s ok, too sweet, nasty aftertaste

48 Male Sweet, syrupy, nice aftertaste, can taste the blu raz

45 Female Sweet, cherry-berry, doable if it’s cold

40 Female Aftertaste like Splenda, fruity but tangy

50 Male Sweet, slight berry flavor, would use if it did something

47 Male Salty, fake sugar, grainy feel, tongue tingle, reminded of 5hr energy

Ok now my personal review of the flavor. Being a beta test is good because I think the flavoring does need some tweeking a bit. It's close but still needs something. I am fully aware of the complexities of masking the taste. In my vast experience others are more superior in the area of flavor.

Using 1 scoop in 8 oz water gives me a slight burn in the back of the throat which does dissappear quickly but a sour, almost chemical flavoring aftertaste remains. The slight throat tingle occurs with every sip except when the whole 8 oz is slugged down. I do notice a bit of grainyness due to some particles not mixing entirely which makes me suspect there is some type of Leucine.

Being an experieneced user of PreWO drink mixes this does not effect me personnaly, however, I can't predict what the mainstream of consumers would say.

I absolutely love that there is no coloring added ! this alone makes me ignore any of the pit falls above.

Several times using I've gotten headaches afterwards ? not sure if it's product related just an observation.

I tried a dose around 6pm to evaluate if it would keep me awake all night. This is for the people who's wo schedual is typically after work at night.

I was able to go to bed and fall asleep 4 hr's later without difficulty.

Next I'll try a dose first thing in the am on an empty stomach.

The pump effect was noticed during a bi workout, mostly the veins swelled up like a fire hose and produced the roadmap affect along my arms. It wasn't skin splitting or so much the muscles range of motion was impeded. It felt like more blood was coursing / delivered instead of water. At 1 scoop there was a decent result. I'm tempted to try 2 scoops after reading some of the other logs, but sometimes more is not always better, but I'm def wanting to try it out.

Headache is likely due to nitrates. Have you had blood pressure issues in the past?
This could occur from prolonged use, however an almost immediate issue with headaches is different.

That's also the effect of nitrates and how they are intended to function.
2 Scoops is ideal for performance, however that is dependent upon bodyweight.

Nope ! only a few. but as I said these were not a specific target group "note, all testers are not users of PreWO mix's"

A real supp junkie will not be concerned with taste from what I've read in the past, comment such as "I thow a scoop in the back of my mouth and slam it down with some water"

I was attempting to get a wide range of perspective.

The headache was only a rare occurance, I've had issues in the past, I would say it was not a problem with this PreWO

Yeah, I'm liking the 2 scoops best now.


I stand by my previous observations, the flavor could use some tweeking and the effects are nice but the stim junkies, which I am not, may not be impressed. I prefer to use this as a PreWo for weights and not Cardio.

So I've been using 1.5 - 2.0 scoops - curious to know if this is ok ?

Mentionable attributes:
The energy and focus are very good
Flavoring is a bit harsh a 2x dose, mostly after taste in back of throat, but it does go away pretty quickly. I keep using so it does not bother me to the point where I wouldn't use, however, being a beta test I feel it should be mentioned. I'm only mixing with 8oz cold water and gulping it down rather quickly 30 min to WO.
I get winded easily which is sort of odd, heart rate is increased.
Sweat is not changed - but I do feel slightly warmer, not like a thermogenic and I'm quite familar with BA tingles which this product does not have that effect for me.

At close to 200lbs, 2 scoops would be a solid choice, it all depends on the effect. If you feel it at 1.5, then maintain at 1.5.
After taste is likely the nitrates, which can only be masked so far before it's overkill.
Supersize does not contain BA.

I'm using "rounded" scoops - so actual measurement is not critical.
Any athlete will ignor the nitrate flavoring, my comments are more for the general user. I actually don't mind the harshness because like I've said it lasts only for a very short time.

My first impressions are usually critical, now I look forward to using it PreWO.
Good pump, nice focus, and no crash afterwards.
Personnaly I'd use for weight training only not cardio, but thats my preference.
