First Orders is a very versatile supplement, whether your weight training or endurance sports or ANY activity, you will see benefit from it. No matter if your an experienced guy or not, after 1st dose of first order you will start to notice the difference between taking it or not.

I experienced more positive effects on the cardio thing rather than in my workouts. At least when i was doing HiiT for 25 mins, at the end i was DEAD, but after a week of first order and a good diet and strict training ( started training legs again ) i was easily doing 35 mins of HiiT without ending totally dead.

If you want a boost to get through your workouts, this is def a choice you must try before judge. I recommend it.

First Order was my first experience with a beta-alanine product so I didn't know what to expect other than the "tingling" effect that I had read so much about before trying the product. When it came time to actually try it out before my workout I was very excited. I mixed First Order into 7 ounces of cold water because the 4-6 ounce recommended range just seemed a little low.

The first thing I noticed was the amazing taste, I found it hard to believe that a high quality nutritional supplement could taste so good. I have tried all of the flavors and they all offer a very satisfying drink, not too sweet, not too bland; just right.

The product mixed very well in a shaker bottle, no clumping whatsoever and in a few shakes everything was completely mixed.

First Order delivered yet again about 10-15 minutes after I consumed it, the "tingling" sensation associated with beta-alanine was present in full force. During my training I did notice an increase in focus and mental clarity as well as endurance, which all stayed with me throughout my use of First Order. I tried using two servings per workout as BodyWell suggests, one prior to training and one either during or after and found that consuming the other during training was the best for me. This brought the tingling effect to the next level and ultimately forced me to push harder and harder while I was in the gym.

The price is reasonable considering you get 50 full servings with a tub and a truly great tasting product that delivers in the gym.

Did First Order give me more energy for performance?
First Order made me feel energized, but in a controlled way.

Did First Order increase stamina and endurance?
First Order allowed me to push myself past fatigue and perform better in the intramural soccer playoffs in which my team won.

Does it let you train harder, become stronger, and recover faster
First Order allowed me to train at the highest level. I was able to get 225 X 11 on flat bench.

Did it increase mental acuity, lower cortisol levels, and support growth hormone levels?
I am not so sure about these factors. I do know that First Order allowed me to focus longer on subjects and concentrate.

What is my favorite flavor?
First Order Lemonade is the best flavor out of all of them. Second, is the Orange. Last is Fruit Punch.

I give First Order an 4.5 out of 5 in response to the things it claims to do. I do like the added ingredients besides the First Order, but I believe it can be just effective with Beta-alanine alone as long as the flavors remain tasty. This would drive down the price for it.

I was given the opportunity to use First Order for 30 servings. I was able to try all three flavors, and will review them based on taste and overall effectiveness.

The recommended dose is 2 servings daily, but it was very rare that I used the product like this. Though it is a blend, there is over the recommended amount of Beta Alanine in each serving (as I've been told anyway.) I can back this up by saying that the tingles in First Order are stronger than any BA tingles I've ever felt with any other product.

The tingles were intense and hit soon after finishing my serving of First Order. I think there was maybe one or two days I didn't notice the tingle, but for the most part it was always there.

Most days I took one serving pre workout, and one serving on my way to the gym to play basketball. This way, even though I used the recommended two servings a day, I had it spread out enough to where I feel I was getting the benefits of the product during both workout sessions daily.

I found that all three flavors were great, but I will rank them in the following order:
1. Orange
2. Fruit Punch
3. Lemon

That isn't to say that all of them aren't great (it is one of the best tasting supplements I've ever had.) but that order was my preference while taking them. The only problem I saw with the product was that the Lemon flavor was brownish looking instead of yellow, which made it less drinkable for me for some unknown reason.

I had great workouts while using First Order, and it was a really good boost of energy every time I took it. I tried some tests for effectiveness by taking a day off here and there to compare my workouts, and I feel that I was much more energized on days that I took First Order. I definitely feel that's a plus as there is no caffeine in the formula.

I would say that on days I didn't take First Order my workout was probably a 6-7, and days that I did take it I would say averaged 8-9. This is one of the best pre workout supplements I've used. It doesn't deliver the "pump" like some of the preworkout supplements offer (animal pump, NO Shotgun, and RPM) but it is a great endurance product. I believe that this product is best suited for someone who is cutting and looking for a boost during cardio, as I found it put my cardio energy levels and endurance through the roof.

The one complaint I could have about First Order would be the price. As a college student I doubt I'd be able to afford First Order in order to use it again until I was out of school. I struggle to keep the basics covered along with a preworkout supplement every once in a while.

However, for those out there looking for a cardio boost, or looking to get out those last few extra reps, who have some money to spend, definitely consider looking into First Order. The taste is great, so if you complain about the way things taste and it's important to you, you'd be hard pressed to find something better tasting that delivers these kind of results.

My final scores are as follows, based one my 4 weeks full of workouts (four weeks is including off days, days that I tested the product by not taking it, etc.)

Taste:
-Orange: 10/10 One of my favorite tasting supplements of all time.
-Fruit Punch: 9/10 Very good taste, just didn't enjoy it as much as orange. (normally I hate fruit punch though.)
-Lemon: 8/10 Still really good, just my least favorite of the three. This is the area that other supplements start to compare, taste-wise.

Effectiveness: 9/10 The product really shines as an effective cardio booster. On days that I took it and went cardio intensive, I was able to do it much more effectively than without First Order. Definitely helped with the endurance aspects of my workout. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if I could have seen some strength gains on it. I'm used to pre workout supplements that give you the pump and the strength gains, and this one doesn't deliver that as much. As an endurance booster though, it's hard to be beat.

Price: 5/10 Not the worst price, but not reasonable for my budget while at college.
