ASCENT Orange Mango Pre-Workout Hydration Fuel, 11.6 OZ

The main reason I purchased this pre-workout was because it had more "tame" ingredient profile. I am not looking for something insane that would give me a mini panic attack before working out. And that is the reason I gave this pre-workout 2 stars. I don't feel jittery or itchy, I just feel energized and focused which is what I am looking for in a pre-workout supplement. The second star was for the cost, compared to other pre-workouts I have purchased, this one was competitively priced.And lastly, the taste of this pre-workout, at least the orange mango flavor, is god-awful. No way around it and no other way to put it. Absolutely disgusting. I mix it with a small bottle of orange body armor now and even though it ruins the taste of the body armor drink, at least I can finish the bottle with a scoop of this pre-workout.

Pre-workouts can be tricky so I did some research and found this brand. Love the package so I said “what the hell” and ordered. The taste isn’t bad and the mix dissolves quickly in 10 oz. of water. I used a traditional blender bottle. Within 20 minutes I felt the powder working. I left about 1/4 cup in my bottle in case I needed an extra boost during my workout and I didn’t even need it. Looking forward to trying the other favors. If you are looking for that "C4" style pre-workout - this ain't it!

I love Ascent products and take regularly their Whey and Casein so I decided to try the “Orange/Mango” flavor.Unfortunately I hated it. Completely. The smell makes me want to vomit and the taste is unbearable. I hate to waste anything I buy so I try it a few times. Every time I would try a gulp and spit right out. I couldn’t take this. It went straight to trash. No regrets. Won’t ever buy it again (wouldn’t take it even if it was free).

I normally don't write a review, but I wanted to warn others not to waste their money on a trash product like I did.I wanted to give Ascent pre-workout a try after trying their post work protein and seeing all the good reviews about it. Their pre workout is nothing like their post workout. It does not mix well ( I used a water bottle with a shaker ball in it). It leaves a foaming and chalky taste. I figure whatever on the taste, as long as it gives me that boost. Needless to say, it didn't give me jack $%#@. I felt no energy and was tired.I truly believe some of these 5 star reviews on this product are bought, because the it did not do what it was suppose to. I was looking for a replacement to nitro surge, but I will be sticking with it since the taste is not bad, and it gives me a boost. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on this Ascent pre workout!

Flavor is good, not overly sweet. Can’t tell about workout stamina, but can attest that on days when I don’t drink this, my muscles are more sore afterwards. Ingredients look acceptably minimal.
