Product Reviews of 5-Hour Energy Berry 12 bttls
Product Review: Worked for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to drive 500 miles and the drive began late in the day when I was already tired and on a full stomach from lunch. Needless to say I was feeling a bit drowsy. A friend of mine suggested I try the 5 Hour Energy, and incredibly, I was wide eyed and alert for the entire drive. The next day, I had to drive another 500 miles, and while it began earlier, I had a hard time sleeping. Maybe it was the effects of the 5 Hour Energy still affecting me, or maybe it was because of the loud noises at my hotel. Either way, I only had about 5 hours of rest, and I needed to cover 500 miles. So I drank a bottle at the beginning of my drive and sure enough, I made it the entire way. This is incredible for me as I have sleep apnea and although being treated with a CPAP machine, I still suffer from loss of energy throughout the day. This has been the ONLY product that keeps me alert. I do wonder what the health risks if any are though.Product Review: Best energy product on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
Aside from all the obvious advantages (size, taste, calories, sugar, etc.), the impact on my energy levels is far superior to any other energy product I have ever used (mostly coffee, red bull and rockstar). They truly last for a very long time and don't leave you feeling like garbage afterwards. A+Product Review: Did little but your mileage may vary
Summary: 2 Stars
It is hard to review products like these because results are very dependant on each person's physiology and are also subjective. I don't think anyone who has said they've had great success with this product is lying, nor do I think those that have said they've had little success are lying. As such this is a product you have to try to see what happens for you.
I am not a huge consumer of energy products, but I do like to them from time to time. My standard has been Rockstar Zero Carb (i.e. no sugar) which is a full size energy drink. I have found that it works well and usually I don't need to drink the entire can. The appeal of 5-hour Energy is its small size and easy storage. I don't drink Rockstar for it's outstanding taste, so if I can get the energy in something smaller and easier to consume, why not try?
I first tried 1/2 a bottle of 5-hour Energy as some of the reviews made me a bit wary of how I might react. I found that 1/2 bottle had almost no effect. On a different day I tried the entire bottle and again I saw almost no effect. It is possible that there was a slight pickup, but nothing that would make this product worth buying. I find this a bit strange because the ingredients and amounts appear to be more than what is found in the Rockstar Zero Carb mentioned above. As such I would expect at least the same level of energy pickup, but again that wasn't close to being the case.
I am not going to throw in the towel just yet, however. I plan to try the "extra strength" version of this product to see if that yields a better result. For now though, while I cannot personally recommend this product based on my own results, I think each person will have to try and see for themselves.
Update: I tried the "extra strength" version of this product. I took the entire bottle and found little to no difference between this and the "regular" version. Since the regular version, as mentioned above, had pretty much no effect on me, I don't plan to buy anymore of this product.
Product Review: this really works
Summary: 5 Stars
5 hour energy really works. It makes you awake and aware but without feeling jittery, and there's no crash.Product Review: Five hour energy - expensive, but seems to work.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a big health proponent, so I look down on most of the "energy" drinks out there because looking at the bottles tells you it's mostly sugar and caffeine. Not to mention most of them taste like crap.
These little gems seem to contain mostly vitamins, some natural supplements and some caffeine. I'm a big coffee drinker, so I know when I've had to much, like when I'm jittery or my stomach gets queasy. But I don't get a big rush from the 5-Hour drinks and I don't get a big crash. It's pretty even for several hours, and it helps keep me focused and a bit more motivated.
I usually take regular vitamins and some B vitamins and a little coffee to keep me going, but the formula in these things does the trick on it's own. Wish they were a bit cheaper so I could take when I want - the price limits me to just a couple times a week when I need to get things done.
Probably won't work for everyone, but worth a try. Amazon has the best price I can find - down the street I can get them 2/ $5 but that's the best - otherwise they're way over priced.
