Description:

About 5-Hour Energy Drink Feel bright, alert and focused 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. Click here for a list of ingredients. Drink it in seconds 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. Feel it in minutes 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.” Lasts for hours with no crash* 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. Click here for more details What to Expect from 5-Hour Energy If you're not tired, why take an energy drink? 5-Hour Energy was designed to be functional, not recreational. It will take you from tired and foggy to bright and focused. But it won't take you beyond that. Click here for directions. Afraid to try 5-Hour Energy? You may have read some scary things about other energy drinks and are afraid to try 5-Hour Energy. The knock on other drinks is their large amounts of sugar, caffeine and herbal stimulants such as guarana and ginseng. But 5-Hour Energy contains no sugar, no herbal stimulants and only as much caffeine as one cup of coffee. The active ingredients in 5-Hour Energy can be obtained in everyday foods, or is a nutrient your body makes naturally. Click here for complete details. www.5hourenergy.com

    I keep a bottle of this stuff on me every day. For those long night shifts, I take one about half-way through the shift, and am still able to to sleep soundly when I get home. Hey, with no sugar, and with extra B-vitamins, it's great for STRESS too! I highly recommend this stuff! One quick shot (about 2 gulps for me), it has a blueberry-like flavor (does leave a bit of aftertaste - but not for long), and I'm thinking clear again. Just try one. Hey, if it doesn't work the same for you, you've only spent $2-3 bucks...but if it DOES work, it can help you on those tough nights...(paperwork comes to mind? *grin*)

    This stuff is absolutely amazing! It works almost instantaneously and lasts a minimum of 5 hours. It usually works at least 8 for me. It's great for those mornings when you just can't drag yourself out of bed or are desperately in need of a power nap, but have no time or place to grab those zzz's. There is no crash from this, either, as it is only 4 calories for the entire bottle. The berry flavor tastes pretty good. I haven't tried lemon-lime, as the clerk at the convenience store told me it tasted like puke. I may try it in a pinch, though.

    A tad pricey but it is a shot. It will keep you going without a crash, and isnt full of caffeine, taurine or guarana. Only 4 calories, and B vitamins and Amino Acids. It can taste rough, but mix it with juice or a gatorade, or just have a stick of gum.

    My Supervisor uses this sometimes, so I tried it too. It works well, give you an energy boost. We work two 12 hour days then two 12 hour nights, so often feel like on constant jet lag so to say. I do not like to drink more then one cup of coffee on our night shifts, and I do not like to use the energy drinks too much either, they can irritate my stomach.Same thing with any of the stay awake type of pills.Overdoing it on caffiene is not a good thing. I really do not like to use anything on a regular basis, but I do like this product, and the vitamins, ect in it.When I need a boost of energy, I do recommend it. But as with anything new, try it when you are not working, just at home, so you can feel comfortable on how you react to it.

    not the best tasting, but if you mix it with something similar (orange flavor with orange juice) you don't taste it at all. I'm gonna look for the B-complex vitamins recommended and try that next midnight rotation.

    I have used this often. 5 hour energy, it is exactly that, an energy drink. It's like the bigger (one pint) ones. If you takes this make sure you only have one. Do not drink it with another kind of energy drink, atleast not when you are still buzzing off of it. If you do however try it with something else you may become dependent and addicted to energy drinks. If you're not so tolerent and are new to energy drinking you'll probably be thinking you're gonna die. I've been told the effects are similar to the effects of Cocaine. That brings it to GNC territory, like "Redline." 5 hour energy drink lasts for 5 hours. I drank one before a 6 hour shift and I was pretty sluggish an hour before it was over. I feel it does have a 'lull,' but not a fullblown crash. Good stuff over all.

    This product works, but definitely gave me jitters. Actually, I had two of them during a 12 hour drive from Indy to Hampton, VA and ended up having my hands, chest, and face go numb towards the end of the drive. Use this product sparingly. And, the taste could be alot better. Couldnt get the aftertaste out of my mouth for miles!!!

    This product is great!! Actually tastes good too - I love the mixed berry flavor. I drove a 18wheeler around the country for several years. My shift usually started around midnight, so I'd be up all night. Rough! To the point, I've tried multiple different kinds of energy drinks, supplements, etc, and none worked as good as this. Never let me down with a crash or gave me the jitters, like most do. Ive been recommending this product to everyone i know, and some i dont, ever since I started using it years ago.Good stuff - keeps us movin..

    The orange and lemon lime taste pretty bad .......berry is acutally good ....sold in 6 packs at walmart if you need it on a regular basis about $11 which beats the price at the stop n rob....be careful not to mix with other caffine drinks until you gauge its effect which is a little different for everyone. Great for those back to back shifts when sleep is not an option.
