White Flood was the 2nd pre-workout supplement that I tried after finishing two full tubs of Jack3d. I wanted a PWO that was creatine-free and White Flood seemed to be the most highly regarded supplement in this category. I tried a free sample of the Electric Lemonade first, and then purchased a 50 serving tub of White Raspberry.

I am pretty tolerant to stimulants and dosed anywhere from 1 to 2 full scoops of White Flood, on an empty stomach, roughly 25 minutes prior to exercise.

TASTE & MIXABILITY: 8/10
Electric Lemonade: 5/10
White Raspberry: 8/10
I find that most Controlled Labs products have a certain medicinal taste to them that is not entirely pleasant. This is especially true of the Electric Lemonade flavor of White Flood. Although I only had a single serving of this flavor, it was enough to dissuade me from purchasing a tub of it. Instead I bought the White Raspberry flavor, which aside from tasting nothing like white raspberry, was actually pretty decent. In truth, I have no clue how to describe the taste. It is a bit fruity, still has a slight medicinal tinge, but is also fairly smooth. I had no issues with mixing this product – either using a shaker cup or a simple spoon and glass. The powder mixes cleanly with no clumping, and unlike Jacked, there is no grainy residue left at the bottom of the cup.

EFFECTIVENESS: 7.5/10
Pump: 6/10
Energy & Focus: 9/10
For me, White Flood’s true redeeming factor came in the amount of intensity it brought to my workouts. As previously stated, I have a high tolerance to stimulants and generally do not experience the “energy burst” most PWO’s claim to provide. White Flood was a nice change of pace in this department. I would be at the end of an exercise and just when I would be getting ready to set down the weights, a little White Flood inspired voice inside my head would start screaming at me to push out two more reps. In this way I felt my workouts definitely increased in intensity and that I made greater gains while using this product.

Unfortunately White Flood didn’t give me a strong pump at all. I never got that strained, bulging, “about to burst” sensation that I got while using Jack3d. The pump was so poor during some workouts that I was Driven to purchase SciFit’s Nox3000 in an attempt to get more fulfilling and more vascular pumps during my lifting sessions.

VALUE: 9/10
White Flood really shines in this area as it is one of the most affordable pre-workout supplements on the market. A 50 serving tub will run you $27.99, which equates to a per-serving cost of $0.55 provided you only need a single scoop. A 100 serving tub is even more cost-efficient and will run you about $0.40 per-serving. As a comparison point, a single scoop serving of Jack3d also costs $0.55 (I personally needed 3 scoops of Jack3d per workout), while single servings of SuperPump250 and Black Powder will cost you $0.84 and $1.24 respectively.

The only reason White Flood doesn’t earn a “10” from me in this category is due to the lack of pumps I personally experienced. If I hadn’t had to purchase additional supplementation to achieve a satisfactory level of pump, then White Flood certainly would have maxed the scale for value.

OVERALL: 8.5/10
This is a great pre-workout option if you are on a budget or are starting a creatine-free cycle and want to continue using a pre-workout supplement. I should say however, that on occasion White Flood gave me a nasty case of… well… the “brown flood”. Personally I don’t really have an issue with this as it seems that a lot of PWO’s have this unfortunate side effect. I still feel that this is a really strong product that has a very particular niche of the PWO market locked down.

A free sample of White Flood is almost always available of BodyBuilding.com and I certainly recommend trying it out if you haven’t done so already.

I will keep this one short, sweet and to the point.

Been struggling with this one for about 3-4 weeks now. Wanted to try a non-creatine pre-workout and chose White Flood.

Effectiveness: Good energy and boost with good pumps. Nothing dramatic and didn't even come close to Jacked. I was kinda of disappointed in that respect. Jacked gets me much better pumps and focus.

Value: This has an average price point, but compared to Jacked, the money and results are far sub-par.

Taste: It's fine, who cares about taste.

Biggest Let down: Made my stomach upset about 25% of the time, can't 100% pin this on White Flood, but it wasn't any change in my diet.

Conclusion: So, where do we go from here. This isn't a bad product by any stretch. I'm not disappointed, it is an above-average product. But, Jacked is where I will next.

This is my go to PWO when I am cycling off of creatine. So many PWO's have creatine that it is hard to find a good one that doesn't have any, and I have yet to find any that stack up to White Flood. It gives good energy and focus that is enough to get through about an hour and a half workout without feeling any crash and it gives really good pumps by itself without adding any extra arginine to the mix. Seems like I don't have much trouble sleeping if I have to take this a little later in the day due to hectic work schedule, which is something that I have had a problem with other PWO's in the past. The taste of the lemonade flavor isn't bad, but it does have a weirdness to it that I can't really describe. This makes no difference to me since I am strictly focused on the effects and the taste is just icing on the cake. It mixes very nicely and doesn't get any white crystals and won't settle unless you let it sit for a long time. I know a lot of people say that they build up a tolerance to this product very quickly but I really have never had that problem. All in all it is a great product and like I said it is my go to PWO when I am cycling off of creatine. Not my first pick when creatine is not a factor but still well worth the money you spend on it in my book. Controlled Labs generally makes pretty good products and this is one of their best in my opinion.

I think this is my preferred pre-workout product; definitely an excellent choice.

I tried a tub in between two 12 week cycles of Jack3d with a month off all pre-workouts in between. I will definitely go back to this after my 1 month off of Jack3d.

The flavor I got was White Raspberry, and it was delicious enough that I'll buy it again. It tastes great adding a scoop of Xtend or Purple Wraath with it for some added Branched Chains before a workout.

I consider this a double edged sword over Jack3d. With Jack3d, I got insane amounts of energy no doubt, but the pumps were pretty general. I felt it needed to be stacked with Super NOS Pump or something.

White Flood gave great energy as well, not as much energy as Jack3d, but it also gave me really good pumps.

The ingredient list isn't as exclusive as Jack3d, but the ingredients are still pretty minimal. Not everyone wants Creatine in a pre-workout (me being one), which makes this a go to product for that. Also has Beta-Alanine--me being a huge fan.

I also enjoyed the fact there was no bloat/stomach pains with this like many other pre-workouts can cause.

The serving size is one scoop, and I took only one for the entire 12 weeks I took it, never feeling the need to up the dose like with Jack3d. Granted, Jack3d I would only take a max of 2 scoops, but I really didn't build up a tolerance up at all with this--one scoop every workout for 3 months and I still felt the effects.

Jack3d you can usually find between $25-$30 for 45 total scoops.
White Flood is generally the same price with 50 total scoops. Or 100 scoops for $40.

Both products are great values.

So overall, I would say it mimics Jack3d in every aspect, but it takes away a small portion of that crazy energy and gives you some pumps.

Stack it with Purple Wraath and some added Glutamine and Beta-Alanine, and you're looking at phenomenal workouts!

C.L White Flood is a refreshing alternative to a PWO.. The taste takes a little getting used to as the flavors don't actually taste like the flavors.. I started with fruit punch, went to electric lemonade, then bought 2 got 1 free in the juicy grape flavor.. I had to mix my 1 1/2 - 2 scoops in 14oz of water and drink half 45 minutes before working out and the rest during my workout, which was alright with me because it kept the energy alive..

One thing strange was that I would literally have a fruity taste in my mouth the entire rest of the day (I work out in the mornings).. This didn't effect my cardio at all and would be able to take 1 scoop on cardio only days and have plenty of energy to get through the session..

It took quite a bit of shaking and letting the powder sit and then more shaking so the mix-ability was definitely NOT there.. :/

Overall this product last quite a while and holds it's punch through the tub..

This is my favorite pwo have tried c4,jacked and no xplode and prefer white flood over all of them,the focus is unreal feel like i coyld stay in the gym all day,have moved up in weight on every workout since i started taking white flood love it!!

ok i have tried white flood before and i thought there lemon flavor was good till i tried the fruit punch it mixed very well some settleing at the bottom but one shake and your good and i also like the fact that you can take it before or during your workout but i downed it cuz it taste great it didnt take long to kick in walking to the gym i felt the n o flowing my shirt felt a little tighter around my arm and once i got to the gym it was on i was picking up weight with no problem i was shoulder pressing 100 like there were 60 and the energy last a while here and there i would feel the carnosyn beta alanine give me the chills and i love it the energy felt clean nothing crazy like i had to rush to finsh or get to the next exercise at the end of my work out i felt great one of my best shoulder days and i enough to do legs i never felt jittery the whole time i was at the gym some time you might need more than 1 scoop but you still get a good amount of serving so all in all white flood is up there with allthe other good pre`s i like and i would recommend people to give it a try

Taste- I have to start out by saying that taste is not high on my list of priorities. However, the taste on this product was more than manageable. The powder was slightly less soluble than any of the other pwo's I've used before, but not aggravating.

Pump- The pump from this was not overwhelming, but it was definitely there. It was less than an Assault, NO-Xplode, or even a SuperPump. However, it did provide sustainable pumps.

Focus- This is my favorite part of the product. It provided me with an amazing focus and drive that pushed me through my workouts like a maniac. It most compares with Jack3d, but a cleaner feeling. It is hard to explain the exact difference but it was noticeable

Unique factor: This product contains no Creatine, which I really find convenient when I need to cycle off.

Ingredient Profile: I don't like to post the ingredients you can find them yourself, but the Live Energy Complex is packed with GABA and Beet Root which are wonderful ingredients. The Beta-Alanine and Citrulline are also two of my favorite and most noticeable ingredients.

Value: I found this product to be slightly more expensive than others, but only buy a few bucks. Go on the internet to buy this, for the love of god do not pay full price at a vitamin store.

Overall: Give this product a shot, I've taken almost every pwo available and this really really made me happy. I would most definitely buy this product again and again.

Thank you for your time and consideration in reading my review. I hope I have provided you with a well-balanced view of this product.

Value is great found it for 40$ for 100 servings

Works really well no letter how tired I am ill always be ready to get through the workout, it doesn't give the crazy tunnel vision rip the gym into half energy but the chill ill get this done easy feel.

Recommended def great product

Used watermelon taste is fine not anything great buy no prob in downing it

Mixability no effort to mix

9-10 for sure I don't see any flaws except id like to have the feeling I could flip the gym upside down.

I wasn't overly impressed with White Flood. I have tried dozens of preworkouts and found this one to be ok, but nothing special. It didn't give me the energy and focus that other preworkouts give. Pumps were decent. The taste was ok. This just wasn't one of my favorite products. May be good for someone that doesn't like a lot of stims.
