Grape

Even though I dislike grape-flavored products for the most part, the flavor was the least disappointing thing about 5-hour energy. While this is touted as the ultimate energy product, it's anything but. First, this didn't last for five hours, more like one and a half, which isn't bad, but well below the claim. The ingredient profile is pretty solid, though standard - caffeine, B vitamins, tyrosine, taurine and a few other ingredients you see in every energy drink. Some research found that there's about 138mg of caffeine per bottle, which can be hefty if you're not into hardcore pre-workouts and other stims. The commercials are right in that you don't crash, but I wasn't that energetic to begin with so it didn't really matter. This is alright, but not really worth $2.99 per shot.

5 hour energy is not near as great as it is advertised on TV. They say there is not "crash" afterwards, which is partially true, seeing as you can not crash if you did not have any energy boost to start out with. I tried this and i really did not feel any significant boost of energy. It helped with workouts, particularly running, some, since i felt a little less tired than usual, but overall, there was no significant difference. The taste is also very peculiar, though almost like all other energy supplements. If i were you, i would not waste money on this energy supplement, i still prefer plain own energy bars or carb bars.

So i saw his t hour energy stuff as always advertised on Tv, it looked kind of interesting, so i ordered some to try out. The results were not anything like the advertising campaigns claimed. It did provide pretty good energy, but only for maybe a hour or two, in which it just seemed to diminished. It does not have guarana, but it also lacks the main purpose of drinking it, the energy. I acutally stil had somwhat of a crash after the effect diminished, i felt an immediate decline of energy near the end of a workout session. It is also pretty expensive, so i really do not think it is worth your money.
