5-hour ENERGY Shot, Extra Strength Berry, 1.93 Oz, 12 Count. Energy Shot

The box was sent in an envelope, so obviously it was smashed open and all the bottles were loose in there. I guess nothing really bad happened, because the bottles were all intact. Anyway, this stuff helps keep me focused for a while when Im dying of tiredness at my very early morning job. I think part of what drags me awake is the terrible, terrible taste. Honestly, its like burning vomit with a hint of a red after taste. Its very tart on top of that.

I had to stop drinking carbonated beverages about 10 years ago and I hated taking caffeine in tablet form, it was all to hard on my stomach, esophagus and blood pressure. So I broke down and tried this during a long car trip and much to my joy it was wonderful. The vitamin B(s) that are added make it a smooth up and a smooth down, not a jolt yet it does far more than just caffeine would and lasts longer. I dont use it daily, but when I have to be somewhere and I am feeling sluggish I just drink this and very soon the cob webs have disappeared, my sight has cleared and I am ready to deal with what I have to do. I also have a lot of sleep issues and I can use this to stabilize my sleep pattern as well. I also enjoy mixing it with juice instead of drinking it straight, but the taste isnt bad by itself and best of all it doesnt hurt my stomach or esophagus.

To stay alert

These work great! I opened the box and placed one in every console of the vehicles I drive, including my work vehicle, one in my lunch box, and a couple in my EDC bag. These work much better than coffee for me and help to keep my eyes open and on the road when traveling back and forth to jobs. After 13 hour days and an hour drive home these became a necessity some days. IMHO they work better than the regular strength ones and do not offer any of the jitters or stomach aches.

I am sure there are people out there for whom 5 Hour Energy doesnt work or causes unpleasant side-effects. But, fortunately, I am not one of those people. It works fantastically well for me! What I do is drink 1/2 a bottle of the Extra Strength variety. The reason I originally started doing that was because I first used 5 Hour Energy during a period where I needed to stay awake for 24+ hours and you are limited to 2 bottles per day (if you follow the warnings on the label). So I figured that rather than getting the normal strength and only lasting 10 hours, I could get the Extra Strength and stretch it out over 20 hours. That worked beautifully and on the rare occasions I have had to stay up 24+ hours since then, I have always turned to 5 Hour Energy. More frequently though, I use it to get me through a particularly slow afternoon at work where I am just dragging and unable to focus. Id say maybe once every two weeks or so, when Im feeling the afternoon blahs, I will drink half a bottle of the Extra Strength and then I have no trouble making it through the rest of the day. I love how quickly it kicks in too. Id say within 10 minutes or so I am feeling like a whole new person.

Cant get enough of this stuff! Highly effective and keeping me alert and awake, and I find it delicious. And in this 12-pack, its far more affordably priced than what you find in the gas station. Plus, those concerned that this is simply the packaging of dangerous chemicals as an unethical cash-grab would do well to look up Manoj Bhargava, the founder of the company — and the documentary Billions in Change, which documents his use of the proceeds from 5-Hour Energy to literally solve the planets most pressing and universal problems. This man is not the stereotypical money above all else businessman, and the sales of the product are making far more difference than most of its customers realize. Im no scientist, but I think the ingredients are basically water, caffeine and amino acids. (At least thats what I tell myself. Glug glug.)

I dont get jittery as others have said they do, for me this stuff helps me put one foot in front of the other and get stuff done.

This is one of the very few caffeinated drinks that have worked for me. I was surprised by its effectiveness the first time cause TBH I didnt expect anything. I dont drink this regularly though; maybe once a week when I need to remain active despite not having enough sleep and thus feeling sleepy. Great price as well and getting the 12pk is worth it.

Delivery box was badly damaged. Looked like water damage . Product was intact only b/c bottles made of sturdy plastic.

Good
