37 out of 100

E.S.P. Pre-Workout Blue Raspberry contains ingredients intended to support alertness and exercise, alongside B vitamins that support normal energy use. Undisclosed individual stimulant amounts make it difficult to judge what a serving will deliver.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality20

Ingredient forms are not identified, so their quality is difficult to compare. The blend also lacks an individual breakdown, leaving the nature of its contents unclear.

Ingredient Transparency38

Label detail is limited, with some amounts and all ingredient forms unstated. The blend lacks an individual breakdown, making serving comparisons difficult.

Value For Money38

Potassium appears reasonably priced, while magnesium and niacin offer less value. Cost comparisons for the remaining ingredients are uncertain, so the serving price gives an incomplete picture.

Customer Satisfaction69

Customer ratings are generally positive. The relatively small review pool limits how confidently satisfaction can be generalized.

Product Focus34

The formula is aimed at pre-workout energy and alertness. Unresolved individual amounts limit confidence in how well it fits that purpose.
