Now in Classic Grape Flavor

Some brands put the lion’s share of their energy into formulation, and others stake out a position for themselves with flavoring. Raw Nutrition does both.

It’s clear that Raw is certainly not lacking in the formulation department – with a huge catalog of unique and powerful formulas like the Thavage pre-workout, the Fuel endurance blend, and the Signal T-booster, the brand of Chris Bumstead knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff. This is especially clear when it comes to their streamlined Essential Pre-workout.

That doesn’t mean, however, that you’ll catch them slacking when it comes to flavor. Just two weeks ago, we got a new Milk & Cookies flavor of Itholate, and a Raspberry Creamthickle flavor of Essential Pre. Now, we’re getting yet another Essential Pre flavor:

Raw Essential Pre Flavor Drop: Grape!

Some flavors are complex, but often, the best flavors are the classics. Take grape, for example. It’s natural, satiating, and refreshing. It calls to mind sipping on some nice cool grape juice (or grape drink) as a kid.

Now you get to experience that same classic taste with your pre-workout. Essential Pre is a work of minimalistic art, with only the needle-mover ingredients – like citrulline, tyrosine, and a modest dose of natural caffeine – making an appearance. It makes a great daily driver.

We’re going to dive into a little summary on how Raw Essential Pre works, but first, let’s check PricePlow for good Raw deals, and check out our video review of the new flavor:

Raw Essential Pre – How It Works

You can read the full lineup in our main CBum Essential Pre article, but a quick synopsis is below. Each 13.5g scoop of Essential Pre contains the following ingredients:

L-Citrulline (4000mg) is a conditionally essential amino acid that boosts nitric oxide (NO) production by converting into arginine, which improves blood flow, athletic performance, and recovery. It also helps detoxify ammonia, reduces muscle soreness, and increases endurance.
Beta Alanine (3200mg) is a well-established ergogenic aid that increases athletic endurance by boosting carnosine production, which helps reduce lactic acid buildup.
L-Tyrosine (2000mg) is a valuable pre-workout ingredient that supports thyroid hormone production, boosts key neurotransmitters like dopamine and adrenaline to enhance focus and fat burning, and improves alertness, especially in sleep-deprived individuals.
Taurine (1000mg) is a conditionally essential amino acid that improves cellular hydration, boosts endurance, supports neurological health through its GABAergic and antioxidant effects, aids fat burning by converting white fat to metabolically active brown fat, and enhances both mental and physical performance.
Natural Caffeine (200mg) not only fights fatigue by inhibiting adenosine receptors but also boosts metabolism and fat burning through increased ATP production, while enhancing physical performance, focus, and reaction speed.
Himalayan Pink Salt (200mg) replenishes electrolytes lost during exercise, particularly sodium, which is essential for muscle contractions and hydration.

The partnership between RAW Nutrition and Chris Bumstead has led to an awesome line of supplements.

Flavors to Keep Things Fresh

Of all the product categories, there are two that will have the highest rate of usage: protein, and pre-workouts. There are many other categories that are best used as needed, but these two are mainstays in any athlete’s routine.

Because you rely on your pre-workout so heavily, it’s important to switch things up. To keep the experience from getting stale. Once you settle on a formula that works for you, the best way to do this is with flavors, and in the span of two weeks, you have two new ones to try for Essential Pre.
