When It Comes To Supplements: Buyer Aware
Unfortunately, there are plenty of shady supplement companies, marketing bad pre-mixed supplements, filled with junk and chemicals.
When I heard about Onnit, and their natural approach using earth grown ingredients, I was intrigued.
Especially when it comes to there natural Total Strength + Performance pre-workout supplement.
With that said, let’s put the stimulant-free Onnit Total Strength + Performance pre-workout supplement through my 4-point test.
4-Point Supplement Review: Onnit Total Strength + Performance
This pre-workout supplement is designed to help the body get stronger and recover faster.
Strength is super important in sports, but being stronger also makes everyday life easier.
For me, I love taking some type of pre-workout, as it focuses and energizes me for my workout.
Criteria #1: Onnit Total Strength + Performance Supplement Ingredients
The ingredients is what sets the Onnit Total Strength + Performance pre-workout apart from 99% of the other pre-workout formulas on the market.
Total Strength + Performance does not include chemicals or stimulants.
It doesn’t even include caffeine, which is an issue for me, as I love taking caffeine before my workout.
I’m mixed with this rating, because I love that it’s sweetened with stevia, and not artificial sweeteners, but I really miss the caffeine.
When I took Total Strength + Performance, I felt like it worked, since I did feel an energy jolt.
However, I feel an even better energy jolt when I use a pre-workout supplement with caffeine in it.
Total Strength + Performance includes a proprietary blend of:
- Amino acids
- Herbs
- Vitamins and minerals
However, since it’s a “proprietary” blend, you never know how much of each ingredient it contains.
When it comes to ingredients, I give the Total Strength + Performance a rating of 3.5/5.
I only gave it a 3.5/5 because as a pre-workout supplement, I miss the caffeine.
Criteria #2: Onnit Total Strength + Performance Taste
There’s no other way to put it.
The Total Strength + Performance natural melon flavor doesn’t taste good.
This is not a surprise, since it doesn’t have an overly sweetened artificial taste, that so many other pre-workouts have.
That’s what happens when you go natural.
For the average person, I give the Total Strength + Performance taste a rating of 2/5.
Criteria #3: Onnit Total Strength + Performance Mixability
Nobody likes grainy and chunky pre-workout drinks, that don’t mix well.
No worries here.
The Total Strength + Performance mixes perfectly when shaken in a shaker cup with water.
When you are on your way to the gym, you can simply put two scoops of Total Strength + Performance into a shaker cup with water.
No blender required.
I give the Total Strength + Performance mixability a rating of 5/5.
Criteria #4: Onnit Total Strength + Performance Value
The Total Strength + Performance is priced very competitively with other higher quality pre-workouts.
However, I’ll say it again.

I just miss the energizing effects of the caffeine.
To me, based on the price point, the poor taste, and the feeling of a less than optimal energy boost when I take it, it does affect the overall value.
Based on an overall value, I give the Total Strength + Performance a rating of 3/5.
Onnit Total Strength + Performance Pre-Workout Supplement Overall Rating
The Onnit Total Strength + Performance pre-workout supplement receives an overall score of 13.5/20.
If Onnit comes out with a caffeine version and improves the taste, would be a big winner with me.
However, that’s just my honest personal opinion.
If you’re overly sensitive to caffeine and want a really clean pre-workout formula, try this Total Strength + Performance pre-workout formula.
Update: Onnit now offers a caffeinated pre-workout called Alpha Brain Pre-workout.
That’s it Live Lean Nation.
I love you guys and keep Living Lean.
