Customer Rating: Summary: 5-hour energy drink is a great product Comment: 5-hour energy drink works within minutes. It gives me that extra boost I sometimes need to get started in the morning and it lasts a long time.5 Hour Energy, Berry Flavor, 2 Oz, Box/12 Customer Rating: Summary: A long boost Comment: As advertised this drink gives you a long boost when you need energy and you are out of it. with a very fruity flavor the drink delivers its promises. Customer Rating: Summary: best out there, still not perfect Comment: Of all the energy solutions out there, this is easily the best one. However, it still has its drawbacks.
First, the PROs -
Instant energy - Works almost immediately (within 1 minute for me)
Not a lot of "jitter" - Many other energy bars and drinks give you that shaky feeling. This one does not
No Crash - Its true, there is no crash. Though when you come back to your previous energy level, it might feel like a crash.
A very positive energy - In addition to the physical energy you also get a very refreshing mental energy. It can almost be described as a very focused high. A feeling of clarity and motivation all at once
Small amount goes a long way - I like that you dont have to drink a big 16 oz bottle of this stuff. Most energy drinks have a taste about as appealing as bath water. So, its nice to only have to drink an oz or two
Now, for the CONS
Taste - See above
Thirst - I get very thirsty on this stuff. I always have to make sure to have a big bottle of water around
Its addictive - The "mental" energy you get from this makes you want to do it all over again. Probably not for people with addictive personalities
Big initial blast - The first 10 minutes for me are almost too much. I seem to want to do everything all at once. After that, i calm down a bit and become intensely focused. But, those first 10 minutes are usually spent just trying not to knock anything over in my office Customer Rating: Summary: Good Communications Comment: I rec'd different flavor of item ordered 5-Hour Energy Berry 12 bttls; but my email was answered immediately & an equitable solution was reached quickly. Would definitely use this vendor again. Customer Rating: Summary: AMAZIING!!!! Comment: I primarily use these to prevent a hang over. Since your body gets depleted of most of the vitamins that are in this it gives you an extra BOOST of these vitamins right before I go out for a night of drinking. I can have fun all night long, drink like I'm 18 years old again (and as long as I drink a fair amount of water also) I wake up with absolutely NO hangover whatsoever!!!!!
I may feel a lil tired the next day from being out late, but NO hangover!!
I've also used these about an hour before I go work out and it gives me an extra little boost to push myself a little harder on the treadmill or when I'm lifting weights.
I HAVE experienced the niacin flush that they warn about on the bottle, but it went away within a few minutes. This usually gives me INSTANT "energy". It's not really an energy energy perse, but I feel a lot more alert and focused.
THERE are THREE main reasons I use these......... 1.) PREVENT hangover 2.) Boost workout 3.) Energy boost
I LOVEEEEE it for ALL three! (Especially the preventing a hangover part!
