What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Follow the listed direction of one level scoop in 350 ml cold water and do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. Store out of children's reach. The supplement is not a substitute for a varied, healthy diet. The listing's primary supplement type says Magnesium, while its title and ingredient information present a pre-workout blend. It lists the form as both Granule and Powder. The title and description identify Green Apple, while the description also lists several other flavours for the range. Check that the selected listing is the intended flavour and formulation.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Adults looking for a powdered pre-workout with caffeine, creatine and several additional listed ingredients.
- Buyers who prefer a scoop mixed with water and want a tub labelled for 30 servings.
Less suited to
- People who need to avoid caffeine or prefer a stimulant-free supplement.
- Buyers who require a reliably pleasant flavour or easy dissolving, given the mixed feedback.

Customer feedback reports perceived workout effectiveness and energy, with some users describing improved performance. However, responses vary on taste, energy delivery, dissolving and value, and some customers report headaches. These are customer perceptions rather than established effects. The mixed comments matter for a drink mix whose listing gives a specific caffeine dose and preparation method, particularly if flavour, easy mixing or caffeine tolerance are priorities.

Negative themes
- Some customers describe the flavour as unpleasant.
- Some report headaches after use.
- Some say the powder dissolves poorly.
Mixed feedback
