Pre-Workout Review: Driven Pre-Workout Boost

I'm not a person who takes a bazillion supplements. I'm not a juicer, a cleanser, a believer in THE magical supplement. However, as I've gotten older, I've discovered that there are a few key supplements that my body seems to need to perform and recover properly. **I am not a doctor, registered dietician or a rocket scientist (I just thought I'd throw that last one in), I just write about what has worked for me. These are my own opinions.

I currently take a multi-vitamin (brand = whatever is on sale at GNC, which I like to split in a.m. and p.m. doses), fish oil, a mid-day vitamin C and D and Iron, pre-workout that includes Beta-Alanine, and BCAA's after the workout.

Reload Fitness provided me a sample of MRM's Driven Pre-Workout Boost for me to try and review, and I was happy to use it. I really like Driven.

Taste: 
I like the mixed berry flavor. Although, I'm not so sure it tastes like mixed berry-- it's definitely got a fruity flavor. I don't find it overly sweet or artificial tasting, and it doesn't leave a bad aftertaste like some pre-workouts do. Really, the taste reminds me of sweet tarts, which is really good, considering Driven is sweetened with stevia and monk fruit and contains only natural flavors.

Ingredients: 

Results:

Honestly, I'm hesitant to use products that contains caffeine or other stimulants because I'm on thyroid meds (due to a sluggish thyroid), but this product isn't heavy on the caffeine-- it only contains about the equivalent of a large cup of coffee. It doesn't make me feel jittery at all.

I had stopped taking Beta-Alanine and Creatine for a few months and noticed my gains had stalled, so I started taking Driven and happily in the past few weeks I'm back to hitting some PR's-- in my overhead squat, my full snatch and my front squat.
