Product Description:
When describing the 5-Hour Energy feeling, some people say it's "like the sun coming up in my head." That's because when you're feeling groggy and lethargic, 5-Hour Energy wakes up your brain and gets you back to feeling the way you want to feel bright, alert, focused and energetic. What you won't feel is jittery, or crash. That's because, unlike other energy drinks, 5-Hour Energy doesn't jack you up with sugar, caffeine and herbal stimulants. Instead, it's packed with stuff that's good for you B-vitamins, amino acids and enzymes.
To get anything out of those canned energy drinks you have to force down a lot of liquid up to 24 ounces for some of them. It takes just seconds to slam down a 2-ounce 5-Hour Energy shot. That means its energizing ingredients get into your system faster.
In a few minutes you can feel 5-Hour Energy brushing away the cobwebs and helping you regain the alert, focused feeling you need to get through your day. Canned energy drinks give you a lot of sugar, caffeine and herbal stimulants which can make you feel jittery, shaky or tense. But 5-Hour Energy's blend of vitamins, amino acids and enzymes gives you hours of "smooth energy."
We named it 5-Hour Energy for a reason. People typically feel an elevated sense of energy, focus and alertness for about five hours. Individual results will vary, of course. And when that feeling wears off, it does so gently. Other energy drinks can make you feel jittery and tense for a short time then let you down with a crash leaving you feeling worse than before.

It is amazing to take a look at the supplement industry as billions and billions of dollars are spent every year on the newest supplement. Every supplement company out there makes outrageous claims in a very smart marketing scheme and sucks in millions of individuals every year. Did you know that the supplement industry is not regulated? Did you know that you can actually create your own supplement and sell it is to health food stores? One group of individuals went this route to prove how unregulated the supplement industry is. They had their own nice looking bottle created, filled pill capsules with house hold flour and packaged them up in the bottles as a "Muscle Building" aid and sold them to the local health food store which were priced at $30 a bottle. Don't believe me? Go watch the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" in which there is a segment of this exact thing.
A bit about 5 Hour Energy to hopefully educate our ignorant society that is so blinded that we get sucked in to every marketing scheme out there.
Let me go ahead and explain this product to all those who think of this as the new "Miracle Energy."
The biggest argument in using 5 Hour is that it has only 4 calories. Calories=energy. This is the same concept of why we eat food which is calorie dense and provides energy. Specifically the quickest reacting calorie is carbohydrates which is why athletes are recommended to consume 60% or more a day of carbohydrates. 5 hour has 0 carbohydrates which = 0 energy. So lets talk about what IS in 5 Hour. For one you have the 8 oz coffee equivalent of caffeine. Well we all know that caffeine increases alertness. Every energy drink has this and so does coffee which happens to be a tons cheaper than 5 hour. Other ingredients include:
Niacin-Coenzyme in carbohydrate/lipid metabolism. In other words it breaks down carbohydrates to be used as energy. Interesting enough, this is found in FOOD
B6-Coenzyme in amino acid (protein) metabolism. It breaks down protein to be used as energy. Guess what? This is also found in FOOD
B12-Coenzyme in blood formation and nervous system function. And again, if you eat food then your on track to consuming enough B12.
Folic Acid-Coenzyme in amino acid metabolism. Also found in food.
The final ingredients make up your "Energy Blend" of Taurine, Malic Acid, Glucuronlactone and a few others, non of which are energy providing nutrients. In fact Taurine is found in ALL energy drinks and there is not 1 single study which provides results that Taurine is a component of energy production. This is true for the rest of the above "Herbal Ingredients" as well.
For all those who believe you are experiencing increased energy using this product. You ARE and your doing it for 3 times the cost that you could be by simply drinking an 8 oz of coffee. The only ingredient in 5 Hour that is providing "alertness" is caffeine. It is a shame that so many people out there fall for marketing schemes because of their own lack of knowledge in the field of nutrition. Hopefully this has provided some much needed information on what is actually in 5 Hour and what actually provides energy to the human body. Stop wasting your money for $3 Five Hour Energy products and go consume carbohydrates and a little added caffeine if need be and enjoy the energy providing benefits that food offers. You will even save money in the process.

I figured this would be a good energy shot before my evening workout and it is. After working all day and still needing more exercise this really helps get me through. At first I was amazed at how good it tasted. It reminds me a bit of Kool-aid. Then the aftertaste hit and I thought I was going to die. Fortunately it is small so you can shoot it down and chase it with anything. I'll keep using these as long as I can find more. The pricer here on Amazon also makes them a valuable find.

Great product. I mix it with some green tea extract. It's a great alternative to downing 3 cups of java.
