Product Reviews of 5-Hour Energy - Berry 1.93-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)
Product Review: Wonderful stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very leery of "energy drinks." I have never tried Red Bull or Rockstar, and I really don't plan on it either. The thought of pumping myself with artificial energy (sugar and caffeine) and then crashing hard is just not very appealing to me. So, I was likewise hesitant with 5-hour Energy.
After hearing all of the radio ads, though, and constantly seeing these little red bottles on the gas station counters, I had to give it a shot. I kind of coughed it down the first time as the flavor wasn't real great to me, but I figured it was only 2 ounces and I could get it down. I'm sure glad I did, because I was amazed at what it did for me. Using vitamins and minerals (and the same caffeine dose as in a cup of coffee), I was given energy that lasted and did not cause me to crash!
I try to keep some of this stuff on hand (berry is my favorite by the way) and I usually take this when I am feeling like I really need a nap but the nap isn't an option. While it doesn't instantaneously feel like leaping off roofs, if I can motivate myself to start some project, within a half an hour I notice I am not tired anymore! This energetic (and non-sleepy) feeling last for quite a while too, so I don't take this beyond perhaps 4 or 5pm if I want to get to sleep that night.
I cannot tell you how many people I have gotten started on this. Usually it starts with something like this: Them--"Does that stuff really work?" Me--"Yes! It's awesome, and it isn't like most energy drinks. This is really vitamins. Here, try this!" Them (two weeks later)--"Wow! That stuff really does work. I have been buying it now!"
This is highly recommended for safe and healthy pick-me-ups! (Can I give it 10 stars?)
Product Review: Works, but feeling after isn't worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
This product does work. I have taken it multiple times. Every time I do take this 5 hour energy, I am more alive and aware.
It helps, but it makes me crash real bad at the end. It says no crash, but just last night when I took this, I couldn't keep my eyes open after taking it, I kept trying to stay awake, soon as I laid on my bed, at 9 pm. I woke up at 1 pm the next day. I missed the entire morning because I had crashed so unbelievably hard.
I do not recommend this to everyone, everyone has a different reaction to it, but mine wasn't so good.
I suggest if you take these when "Not Tired" to avoid heavy crashes like mine. I took mine after being up for around 18 hours. So take them when you are only feeling a little worn out, not exhausted or restless.
Product Review: no headaches next day
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried other energy drinks and 5-hour is the only drink that does not give me headaches the next day. Taste is just okay but bearable. Price is expensive if you buy at convenient stores but cheaper via amazon.Product Review: taste....
Summary: 5 Stars
The second I tasted this product, I knew that drinking it as a shot wasn't for me; but, I also knew, just how it would work, and I don't know why it isn't written on the package somewhere.
This is the best way to use it:
Take a bottle of water and pour in the amount you want to drink of the shot - half for some or the entire bottle for others. This tastes exactly like the flavored bottled waters that you can buy. Everyone is different, but all the flavors were good like this, to me, except the lemon or lime or whatever that one is. As a matter of fact, the grape flavor added to water tastes identical to the flavored Dasani grape water.
I take a bottle of this 5 hour energy/water concoction to the gym with me. It has helped me get back into working out. I don't need it everyday, but some days it helps me overcome the tendency to flake out and not go, when I feel tired. I imagine that with lots of things, the effectiveness is compromised if you use it everyday.
I also have A.D.D. and just finishing any task is a challenge. This helps me with that...as well. I know a little bit about the ingredients in this and a lot of the energy comes from the l-tyrosine, which is used by some to treat a.d.d.
Happy living!
Product Review: works pretty well, but didn't feel too wired
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually drink half, wait an hour or so, and finish the bottle. The biggest advantage for me is that I'm not running to the restroom as often with this as with coffee or tea. I bought this with Amazon's Subscribe & Save which is the best price I've seen anywhere. I don't drink this everyday, but only when I need help staying awake in a boring class or for a homework assignment.
