5 Hour energy

Eagles

Seguin!
So what do people think of this stuff, anyone try it? I had it for the first time on Friday while studying and I thought it worked well. It has an awful flavor though.

Does anyone even know if its safe!?

Tastes like crap. I am not a fan.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

I have a friend who says 5 hour energy is great for helping you stay awake for when you want to get really really drunk.

It's a massive dose of B vitamins so it's natural at least. Everything in moderation I'd say you're OK.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

Considering 5 hour energy is like 1 oz of liquid who cares what it tastes like?

Especially if you can get results and not have to drink 16 oz of those other ones.

You know there is like 4 different flavors right?

5 hour is better than the other drinks...Rockstar and Monster have so much friggin sugar in them you might as well just buy a cane field and eat it.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

It's great for weekend softball tournaments! :)

I tried it a few times at work and it's great if I was running around doing presentations or training classes... but when I needed to sit at my desk and concentrate on computer crap all morning it had me bouncing off the walls.

And, sure, it tastes horrible (like an aspartame Sweet Tart) but they aren't kidding about no crash after - I never have like I did with the sugar loaded drinks.

I never have crashed from Monster. I did crash once from Redbull, but that's because I had more than the daily recommendations (that's when it first came out). Redbull sucks, btw, but back then, that was the only choice around.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

I've tried it, but I don't think it did all that much for me. I don't intend to try again.

It seems like it's more intended for people who are at least somewhat active when taking it. I tried it when I was sitting at my desk in the office. It didn't have the kick that my jittery cup of coffee does.

Sorta.
It's like coffee, but way more so. It does affect others in different ways. Some are subtle, some are not.

I'm a subtle type. My brother is subtle (even subdued). My mom (medical background) tried it, and not so subtle at all. She was wired like no tomorrow.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

I've used it before and it seemed to work for the most part. Again, not something I want to get in a habit of using, but if needed, it works.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

I perfer Snake Eyes berry, although they are harder to find. The Holiday at 169/Bettery Crocker has them 2/$3.33.

Too much B6 and you can have nerve symptoms like numbness, tingling and a dead sensation in the limbs. They taught us about it in school. Have only seen it once but it was pretty distinctive:eek:
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

I've used for studying and it works well. I like Monster a lot but there is so many carbs and sugar in them. For 5 hour energy I've had the berry and the orange. The berry was disgusting and the orange was managable.

I think Redbull has an energy shot too but I havent tried it yet.
 
Re: 5 Hour energy

I usually drink Monster Lo-Carb, so you don't have have all of the carbs and calories that you see with most of the other ones. I think Lo-Carb has only 20 calories per 16oz. can, so there can't be much sugar in there. It works really well for me, especially at work when I'm lacking sleep, and I like the taste.
