BPI Sports 1.M.R Vortex Pre Workout Powder – Blue Raz Flavor – 50 Servings – High Stim Preworkout for Men & Women with Glycerol, Caffeine, Niacin, and Herbal Extracts – Energy, Focus & Endurance

I needed a break from aminos so I picked up the vortex. What do I think ? It does jazz you up mentally however, the original formula was perfect. Why mess with something that works ? I miss the original 😢. With that said, in 2024, this formula does its job. 50 servings, that's never changed. It's very productive to a extra serving count beyond 30. I've used this many mega years for running in the hot Summer heat and found vortex most beneficial in extreme conditions such as July/August summer days. For me, it's important a pre workout primary function supports concentration, mental aspects. If your mental faculties are in check, you can accomplish anything 😀 [vitality]

My favorite preworkout ! Tiny scoop is all you need !

The product, at first, was extremely potent. I have an extremely high natural caffeine tolerance (Not joking, red-line energy drinks barely affect me), and quickly develop tolerances to herbals and other non-extreme, non-chemical, and non-harmful stimulants, so this review MUST BE TAKEN IN LIGHT OF THE AFOREMENTIONED FACT.I like this product because it is CLEAN.My body is not left with detrimental substances in it after using this product, and one or two scoops later (not three... or four... or five...) I can feel a moderate energy boost characterized by increased endurance as opposed to hyper-stimulated biological desperation mechanisms, such as those induced by chemical-based stimulants like NOExplode (which gives me such a terrible headache...).I DID buy this for weightlifting (its designated purpose), and it DOES provide a noticeable energy boost. Caffeine, as it were, is an empty energy, but the herbals in this product are a relatively good moderator and provide a subsistent increase in strength.This product is, literally, caffeine and herbals. That's why I bought it and I am NOT disappointed.All in all (to use a druidic axiom) it is, indeed, a great product for a few simple reasons; It is Clean (no headache, no poisonous effect), it Does work (a moderate, 7/10 energy. And do you really WANT to feel like you just ate Meth? If so, then you might at well just go ahead and...), and it tastes GREAT (I just eat the powder straight. It doesn't stir well well in water; You have to shake it in a bottle. But the powder is quite edible; It's like Kool-Aid without the bitterness).It's a great product.If you're looking for something super methy, look elsewhere. If you're looking for something you can use Sustainably and Consistently, here you are. I might not recommend using it every day, but if you use it consistently you're not looking at long-term health effects unless you eat a LOT of it EVERY day for Months.But that's caffeine for you.

This stuff is amazing! I have a high tolerance for preworkouts and have a hard time finding one that is affordable, tastes great, and gives me the energy to push through early morning workouts. This one checks all the boxes. I use 2 scoops about 15 min prior to working out and I can feel when it starts kicking in. I also love that it doesn’t give me any crashes when it wears off. Will definitely purchase again.

The Good:One of the best tasting pre-workouts I've ever had (and I've tried a lot) when the batch is good.Nice subtle boost in energy but nothing over the top.The Bad:Extremely inconsistent in their quality control.Bad customer service from BPI.I tried this pre-workout on a trusted recommendation and, initial, was happy I did. The first tub I got was a blue color similar to the packaging. The taste was great and the energy boost was there but nothing that was over the top or made your skin crawl.The second tub I got was brown in color and didn't mix and had a different smell and taste from the first tub I bought. Quite frankly I thought I had gotten an expired container but the expiration was dated 2018. An inconvenience but with Amazon's return policy not the end of the world. I exchanged the product for a replacement and received the exact same thing. Amazon was awesome and refunded my money and didn't make me send back the second tub, which went directly in the trash. I am currently waiting on my third replacement only because I loved the first so much. I will update the review when I receive it but three strikes and your out in my book.Now, let me tell you a little about BPI and their response to my concerns. I posted to their Facebook page with pictures and just basically stating my concern over their quality control. My post was quickly removed and received no response. I also sent a message via email which I did receive a response. Below is their response.Hello,Thank you for your purchase of our products and for your feedback as well! We are aware of this and to inform you, it is actually normal. The reason why this happens is because the ingredients for that product are natural, because of this the color and consistency of the powered can vary depending on what time on year the ingredients are harvested. If you have any other question please let me know.Regards,RODRIGO CORREA | CUSTOMER SERVICE REP3149 SW 42nd St. Suite 200 - Hollywood, FL 33312PH 954.926.0900 | FAX 954.284.3381bpisports.comSo apparently they are aware of their quality control issues and just don't care. I don't care if their formula doesn't work at different times of the year. That just tells me that BPI shouldn't be selling it at those times of year because it's not just a color and consistency problem. The powder smells bad and taste equally as bad.Edit:Received my third tub of this product. Same problems as the previous two. That's it, three strikes and your out. I'll never buy another BPI product again.
