I honestly have nothing but good things to say about Vega as a whole. I’ve tried quite a few of their products and have yet to find one that I didn’t like. This product is no exception.
Daniel purchased this along with the Electrolyte Hydrator as a healthier take on the pre-workouts that we used to use. My complaint with those is that they would leave me jittery, my lips itchy, and they more often than not had a bad after taste. To give you an idea of how Vega’s Pre-Workout Energizer stacks up against the typical pre-workout, here’s what I thought of it:
PROS
-doesn’t cause the jitters
-no bad aftertaste
-affective for workouts that are 1hr or less
-the flavour doesn’t taste “chemically”
CONS
-limited flavours (lemon lime & acai berry)
-the flavour isn’t super strong, (it does taste citrusy, but isn’t necessarily true to taste)
Is the Vega Sport Pre-Workout Energizer effective? Yes. That being said, the flavours are limited and aren’t necessarily true to what’s indicated on the container. I find that part a tad disappointing, since their other products are so spot on.
Running Fast, Lifting Heavy Approved: I’m going to say yes, providing you can overlook the fact that the flavours aren’t as strong as desired.

I call this Magic in a Can. I love it. Have you tried the Recovery Accelerator? I use it after my Long Runs and it is great.

I really like Vega, but I think I tried this and found it to be way too sweet.

I can definitely see why you’don’t say that. I found it to just have a generic citrus flavour and not the flavour quoted on the container. I’m just thankful it doesn’t have that horrible aftertaste that most pre-workouts do!

So do you think it’s not good for workouts that are nearing 2 hours?? I usually take so long because I take longer rest periods between sets (powerlifting)

Powerlifting does take up quite a bit of time. My boyfriend powerlifts and what he usually does is drink the pre-workout energizer before and during the workout for a continuous stream of energy.
