Platinum Pre | By Optimum Nutrition
I was really excited to try out Platinum Pre for the first time. After reading the description and a few reviews, I was convinced it was going to be amazing. While I really did enjoy the effects, there was a small hiccup along the way that I did not like. We'll get to that part.
The effects of Platinum Pre were really quite good. I felt incredibly energized and driven to get movin'. It uses about 200 mg of caffeine per scoop to do this as well as some other pretty quality ingredients like Beta Alanine (crazy tingles with this supp too) and L-Citrulline etc. I didn't get to feeling jittery, which was surprising for so much caffeine, and the energy was long lasting without a big dirty crash following. Overall very pleased with the effects. One thing to note here is, it is Creatine free so I was adding my own to the equation.
And now to get into the bad part. I had the displeasure of tasting the SuperFruit flavor. Don't get me wrong, the actual flavoring was pretty tasty and unique even - but the after taste of almost every sip had a distinct checmically taste to it. Almost like a burn in the back of your throat. This was enough to turn me back towards the remainder of the C4 I had left over from a previous purchase....but eventually I had to get through it; and I did not like one minute of it. If you're someone who just chugs the whole pre-wo down in a couple gulps, then this would be no big deal, but for me - I find it hard to choose something that doesn't taste great when there are many other effective and good tasting options out there.
