5 Hour Energy Drink

Do you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock a few times before finally pulling your body out of bed. Do you immediately start the coffee and keep drinking it for hours. Then by mid afternoon, do you want a nap. So many people today are low on energy or physically and mentally exhausted and there are ways that you can get more energy naturally. Low energy comes with living in the twenty first century.

We are all at times looking for a boost in our energy levels, if not daily. But how do you go about getting more physical and mental energy? Is there a way to get more energy naturally? Do you have a need for alternative energy enhancers or are you going to simply do nothing and stay tired..

Well lets look at physical energy which is is direct control of your mental energy. Today's diets, the build up of environmental pollution and the use of prescription medications, alcohol and recreational drugs throw up road blocks in the body's ability to remain energized.
For your energy to be at it's best you need to have all the following in your daily life. You must eat properly and do not eat any processed foods. Processed foods can deplete your energy levels and leave you feeling tired and lethargic. You need to eat a balanced diet containing fruits and vegetables. The plants that have the deepest green color will deliver the most nutrients to get more energy naturally.

You also want to get a good quality sleep each and every night. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night. This is the amount you need to start each day feeling fresh and alert. You need to rethink your sleep habits.

Most of us stay up late to cram as much into a day as possible day. A lot of people tend to see sleep as a waste of time and a luxury. If sleep has a low ranking on your priority lists then give it the promotion it deserves.

You also want to use energy. By using energy with lots of movement and exercise your energy levels will then increase. If you do nothing in a day you will have less energy than if you do a lot in a day. You have heard the old saying it takes money to make money, the same applies to body energy.

If you make the above changes in your life you will benefit and the results will be an increase in energy. But many of us simply won't change or can't because of your lifestyle simply can't.

You can still get more energy naturally but taking the right natural supplements to feed your bodies cells the proper nutrition and enhance the hours of sleep you do get,clear some of the brain fog and have enough energy to get you through from morning to nigh

  2. QUESTION:
    Is drinking 5 hour energy drink before high intense exercise safe?
    Hi,

    So I still have yet to try one of these 5-hour energy drinks, but I've heard that there good. I'm going to 2 1/2 hours of kickboxing tomorrow and I was thinking of taking the 5-hour energy drink to help get my through it. However I saw someone say that you shouldn't take it and then exercise as exercising while your blood pressure is high from the drink already is a bad idea.

    What are your thoughts on this? Thanks a ton!

  3. QUESTION:
    is it okay to drink 5 hour energy drink with the lapband?
    i drank a 5 hour energy drink and a rockstar and i feel sick. am i not supposed to mix these things??? help!

    • ANSWER:
      It isn't going to kill you but it was a very bad choice. I assume you mean lapband as in a gastric lapband? I'm not even sure how you held that much fluid, but as you know, you aren't supposed to be having so much sugar. In two energy drinks there is enough sugar for a whole day for someone NOT trying to lose weight. Also all of those commercial energy drinks are hard on the stomach linings, which would already be irriated from your lapband. I would like to suggest something that will boost you, has only 20 calories, and no sugar or artificial crap in it. It is called VIV and you can read about it at cbb.kiiera.com. You can also write for a free sample. You mix it yourself, so you can control the volume as well. Some people even claim it is helping them lose weight though I have not tried it for that.

  8. QUESTION:
    Is it a good idea to drink a 5 hour energy drink or even redline for a swimming competition?
    My buddy drank a 5 hour energy drink and he got 2 seconds off.
    My other buddy drank red line and hes looks ok.

    • ANSWER:
      Caffeine is the active drug in what they call "energy" drinks. Caffeine is a stimulant that increases awareness. However, there is not a single performance study that shows the use of caffeine improves performance.

      Regular use of caffeine creates a physical addiction. The user feels a major lack of association with regular daily events unless they have their caffeine 'fix'. When the user stops using caffeine they must go through a withdrawal period that produces mostly headaches.

      However, the use of caffeine helps reduce headaches and it is a major component in over the counter pain medications such as Excedrine. Personally, sometimes when I'm getting a headache I'll drink a bottle of Mountain Dew, which has one of the highest caffeine content levels of any soft drink and usually gets rid of the headache. I rarely, however, drink coffee or tea especially to avoid the use of caffeine.

      Regular caffeine use has negative side effects that include irregular heart beat and nervous system problems such as irritability and what are called the "jitters".

      Occasional use of caffeine usually is OK. However, some people do experience the negative side effects even when used irregularly.

      Although caffeine, as I already pointed out, does not improve athletic performance, excesses are on the list of banned drugs. It would take a major ingestion of caffeine to get the level in your urine high enough to get someone disqualified ... plus, drug tests only occur at very high levels of competition where world records are in jeopardy.

  9. QUESTION:
    Will The Red Bull Drink and 5 Hour Energy drink Stunt my growth?
    I'm 14 , 5'4. I drink red bull At least 1-3 times per week , and 5 hour energy 2 times every week to play sports and be active a lot. I've drink ed them for at least about a month now and my friends tell me that if you take those energy drinks at this age it can stunt my growth, is that true?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think it stunts your growth. My best friend is 5 foot 10 and she drinks those things all the time, yet her growth isn't stunted.

  10. QUESTION:
    What does 5 hour energy drink do to your body?
    Ive seen this ad about 5 hour energy drink, but were does the energy come from when it hardly has any calories in it. Im thinking about takeing a sip of it every morning to stay awake but i dont know the after effects or what it does to my body. Im 16 and i really need something to keep myself awake and alert in class.

    • ANSWER:
      Those drinks are terrible, and are made for tired adults to relieve stress at work. But the wide effects are nothing; it's just terrible for you. I suggest you drink tea, which is very healthy and contains a bit of caffeine to keep you awake. Don't drink it everyday, though. tea keeps you awake for more than 5 hours, so that's what I'm saying.

  11. QUESTION:
    What happens when you drink too many 5 hour energy drinks?

  12. QUESTION:
    Is drinking a 5 hour energy drink before a workout bad?
    So if i drink a half of a 5 hour energy drink before my workout, will that be bad for my body? Will it mess with my muscle growth? Or is it all ok? I think it would help me stay focused on working out, but im not sure. Please help.

    • ANSWER:
      Hm, My friend uses 5 hour energy when he goes to the gym, he claims it gives him more "energy" to do more exercises/workouts. Its been 5 months, so far he hasn't had any problems.

  13. QUESTION:
    What is your opinion on the 5 hour energy drink?
    I am planning a 9 hour long driving trip and was thinking about taking the 5 hour energy drink during the last part of it but i have never had one before and don't know how they actually effect people. For those of you who have tried it have you ever crashed after drinking one or gotten jittery, how do you think they work?

    • ANSWER:
      I absolutely love them. I wasn't jittery at all, wasn't manic, nothing like that. I felt alert and good, and it did last 5 hours as described. They don't taste good, but I like the fact that it's only an ounce or so - doesn't make you have to stop to pee like a big Coke would.

      I was extremely skeptical about them, and was hesitant to try it, but it worked so well I've used them on other trips and will continue to do so.

      If you've never done one before you should try half a bottle first before you actually need it just to see how it impacts you. They contain a LOT of the mineral niacin, and some people report a "niacin flush". Harmless, but annoying.

  14. QUESTION:

  15. QUESTION:
    Will it be safe to drink a Monster now & then a 5 hour energy around 6:00PM?
    I want to wake up now - and I don't think they will let me carry my Monster onto the plane. So if I drink it now...

    Will it be safe to drink a 5 Hour Energy drink right before I board my plane???

    I am 14 and about 120lbs. Will this be bad on my heart?

    • ANSWER:
      Well while energy drinks are not designed for kids there is not much of a problem if one is consumed every now and then. Even so theres should not be any more than 2 a day consumed. Red Bull recommends only 1 to 2 a day and even XS Energy, the top healthy energy drink, recommends against having more than 2 of theirs.

      Now Monster is a larger can so it has 2 servings in it. Even though the 5 Hour Energy is also a healthy energy drink I don't think you should take both today.

      If we drink enough water we increase our energy levels and motabolism by 3%. Plus caffeine actually dehydrates us since it takes more water to process than a caffeinated beverage contains. What I would recomend is to drink the 5 Hour Energy now and drink water for the rest of the time.

      However, if you have the Monster already and can't take it on a plane then I guess it would be just as fine to drink the Monster now and water for the rest of the day. I would save the 5 Hour Energy for another day.

  16. QUESTION:
    is it dangerous to take 5 hour energy drink and push yourslf to the limit?workin out?
    i looked at the 5 hour energy drink's vitamins and stuff and there was an extreme amount of watever it was. i want to know more about the drink and know wats safe to do and wats not. plz any1 telll me.

    • ANSWER:
      Ok first of all there is no such thing as a 5 hour drink to replace water. You are made up of 78% water and to lose just 3% can cause heat stroke and soon as you stop sweating you are now in the throws of heat stroke..this is where your body can not cool it's self and your organs are starting to shut down. It will start with your sweat glands..then your kindneys and then your liver and then your heart. If it reaches that far the chances of you making it to the hospital alive are about 10% IF YOU DO MAKE IT you will likely be brain damage and drooling and not being able to speak or eat or even wipe yourself when you have a bowl movement for the next 50 years.
      So do me a favor and just drink lots of water...and you don't need fancy water, water out of the tap, with maybe some ice and you can do whatever you want long as you keep fluids replaced. It takes to just sit still at 90 temp one gallon a day to survive. TO walk and talk and move around all day outside...you will need between 2 to 3 gallons as your body will be sweating very heavly to keep you cool. You have to understand that the reason you sweat is to creatate a cooling effect by the water "your sweat" evaporating off your skin. If you ever had rubbing alcohol rubbed on your skin it will feel very cool, this is because of the very fast evaporation rate of alcohol. In the old days before ice was a common place rubbing alcohol was used to cool down childern and men that work outside all day.

  17. QUESTION:
    Does the Red Bull Drink And 5 Hour Energy drink Stunt your growth?
    I'm 14 , 5'4. I drink red bull At least 1-3 times per week , and 5 hour energy 2 times every week to play sports and be active a lot. I've drink ed them for at least about a month now and my friends tell me that if you take those energy drinks at this age it can stunt my growth, is that true?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think so, but Red Bull is HORRIBLE for you. Just like the movie "Role Modles" called energy drinks, it's nuclear horse piss.
      5 hour Energy doesnt contain all the sugar and other hardsh ingrediance but you have to be careful with any supplements because your body can become dependant on them to function correctly.

  18. QUESTION:
    What happens if you drink "5 Hour Energy Drink" with Beer ?
    I just had six beers, and i just took a shot of that " 5 Hour Energy drink"

    What happens?

    • ANSWER:
      Most energy drinks advise the consumer right on the label "DO NOT MIX WITH ALCOHOL", yet drinks like Spider Bites and Red Bull with vodka are some of the most popular drinks in clubs and bars right now. Some people claim mixing energy drinks "get you messed up faster", but what really makes you feel drunk faster is all the sugar of most energy/sports drinks. Sugar carries the alcohol to your bloodstream faster, but doesn't necessarily get you "more drunk".

      I say that if the product's manufacturers say that it's not safe to mix, DON'T MIX! They probably know what they're talking about.

  19. QUESTION:
    Does the 5 Hour Energy Drink really have no crash?
    The commercials say there's no crash after drinking the 5 Hour Energy Drink. Is that true? Also, how long does it ACTUALLY last? The full 5 hours?

    • ANSWER:
      I tried that last year when I was forced by family emergency to make a 12 hour drive in one day after getting off a 16 hour international flight. I was quite pleased with it. I don't know how safe it is for regular use though: so I'd give you a warning about that. For your regular needs, you should rely on good food and proper rest. But, assuming you have some kind of special situation like finals or an emergency drive, I thought it worked quite well and there was no crash or any crazy jitters as too much caffeine can do. I only drank about half the bottle at a time, then the other half a few hours later. Doing it that way it lasted me more than 5 hours.

  20. QUESTION:
    should i drink 5 hour energy before football practice?
    i've heard about this 5 hour energy drink and i was wondering if it would give me a boost for football practice so i dont get as tired or anything like that im 16 years old and play high school football?

    And do you have to be 18 to buy it? Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      NO.

      None of the so-called energy drinks will keep you from getting gassed during practice. Running in the off season does that.

      There are artificial stimulants in these things that are a very bad idea when you're practicing hard. I made the mistake of drinking a Red Bull before an off-road triathlon once.... I had heart palpitations through all of the swim and part of the bike before I burned that crap out of my system.

  21. QUESTION:
    Is it a bad idea to have a 5 hour energy drink if you take adderall daily?
    I'm on 10mg of adderall XR and i was thinking of just trying a 5 hour energy drink to see if i like it but my mom told me not to because she's not sure how i will react to it since i am on medication...i'm also taking 5mg of lexapro for depression. Is it dangerous for me to drink it? If i do drink it ONCE, what will happen? (i'm not talking about if i take it at the same time, just like in the middle of the day)

    • ANSWER:
      yes it is a very bad idea , because the adderall is trying to calm u down and the 5 hour energy is trying to boost u up. I know this because my brother took a volume and 5 hour and it had a really bad effect and whenever my dad used to take the 5 hour his heart would start racing. so i strongly suggest that u don't mix the two. hope this helps and u take my advice : )

  22. QUESTION:

    I got a drink and it's called 5-hour energy, and im 13 years old and it's 11:00 pm and im already realy realy hyper. what will hapend if i drink this drink right now?

    • ANSWER:
      you probably won't sleep for a while. It's the same amount of caffeine as in a cup of coffee... it's just not a good idea for a 13 year old to drink that stuff anyway. If you're hyper you don't need it... right?!?!!

  24. QUESTION:
    is there any difference between the vitamins in 5 hour energy drink and regular vitamins in a pill form?
    those B vitamins in 5 hour energy drinks are thousands of times the daily value...can you substitute your multivitamin pills to those energy drinks IF you are already a caffeine addict and the energy drinks have no sugar and you get vitamins other than B group from other sources. in a nutshell how are the vitamins from these two different sources differ? thanks?

    • ANSWER:
      Do you know what's in the drink?

      Do you know what's in the pills?

      People spend billion per year on vitamins and supplements.  According to Everyday Health, here's an article that will tell you why . . . those PRODUCTS by any other name do NOT WORK.  It is false advertisements.

      The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t have to approve supplements — no agency in the United States does. So it’s up to consumers to bring health concerns to light. “It’s important to understand the difference between over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements,” say Pieter Cohen, MD, an internist at Cambridge Health Alliance and instructor at Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Mass. The FDA gets involved only after the fact, if the supplement later appears to be causing harm. By that time, the supplement may already have harmed many consumers who used it. “The burden of proof is on the FDA to determine [a supplement] is dangerous and remove it from the market,” Cohen says. Consumer complaints are the primary trigger for investigations. One recent investigation of the dietary weight-loss supplement ephedra resulted in it being banned for sale in the United States.

  25. QUESTION:
    Is it safe to take the 5-hour energy drink with Adderall?
    I take Adderall XR 40mg. (I've been on it daily for quite a while though. It doesn't have the same effect on me as people who only take it when needed)

    I was wondering if it would be safe to take the 5-hour energy drink later in the day. (Once I feel the Adderall start to wear off?)

    • ANSWER:
      I dont think it would be good unless you know that the Adderall has completely worn off. Because all the enery shot is, is one shot made up of concentrated caffeine that will kick start you and have you wired!

  26. QUESTION:
    Is the 5-hour energy drink bad on your heart?
    Does the 5-hour energy drink race your heart beat up faster than normal?

    • ANSWER:

  27. QUESTION:
    Is it safe to drink a 5-hour energy shot in the morning and a whey protein shake after my workout?
    I am really tired everyday so i started taking 5-hour energy shots but i also work out and take why protein. I take my energy drink at 6 a.m. and my protein shake after i workout at 4 p.m. is this healthy/safe? and if not, what are the bad side affects?

    • ANSWER:
      I drink 5-Hour Energy shots almost everyday, sometimes in the morning, sometimes before I work out, whenever I need that boost. I don't see why it wouldn't be safe to drink it and your whey protein shake, I would keep it up. They're probably the safest kind of energy booster you're going to get (in comparison to other energy drinks I mean) http://5hourenergy.com/compare.asp.

      Good luck!

  28. QUESTION:
    Is it safe to consume a 5-hour Energy drink(small 2 fluid ounce) with anti-depressants? I am on a concoction ?
    of Wellbutrin and Prozac and I was feeling tired so I bought and drank a 5-hour energy drink that made me feel more alert. My doctor doesn't know much about these energy drinks, but recommends avoiding herbal extracts while taking the anti-depressants as mentioned above.

    • ANSWER:
      I could totally understand not using anything that is energy causing while on antidepressants. I just cannot see how it could be a good thing! I would try doing one just before the other??? If you have to do both!

      Maybe time it so that the medicine is wearing off as you take the energy drink.

      I wouldn't recommend the concoction, but if you must... be careful! Good Luck!

  29. QUESTION:
    What would happen if somebody drank a 5 hour energy drink and then took a sleeping pill (ambien)?
    I am NOT planning on doing it... I'm just curious. I do take ambian pills once a night and if I fight the sleep then I often experience some mild hallucinations. I'm just curious if you would still get the hallucinations if you took a 5 hour energy shot? Would it make you fall asleep or stay awake? Is it harmful? I'm one of those people that is always wondering weird things like this.
    i'm not gonna take the risk haha. i'm just wondering what would happen.

    • ANSWER:
      You might hallucinate but you probably would not remember it. I don't know if it is harmful, but you would probably do some weird stuff on it... Like eating everything in your fridge, making people take you to Taco Bell, being obnoxious and wild, bump in to walls, but you won't remember it.

      I only know from personal experience that if I take an ambien and I'm hungry or have a hankering for something to eat (like taco bell) I will turn into a bit of a raccoon creature, get the food I crave, clean up after myself and be known the wiser in the morning. Through in a couple glasses of wine or a cocktail and even stranger things can happen.

      If, by chance, you find yourself in a situation like this I strongly suggest that you have supervision. Ambien affects your brain like some psychoactive drugs and you could end up doing very dangerous things. If you were on mushrooms you wouldn't want to be driving a car or going rock climbing right?

      PS Don't let your friends video you. It might be really funny watching yourself fall down the stairs (and explain all those bruises) but it's not so funny when they youtube them and people make fun of you.

  30. QUESTION:

  31. QUESTION:
    Please help! I took a 1/2 bottle of the 5 hour energy drink and my heart has been beating fast!?
    I took a 1/2 bottle of 5 hour energy drink at 9am its not 2:30pm and my heart has been beating fast all day!! I don't think its supposed to do this! I checked my pulse at its at 100 beats per min. Will this stop??

    • ANSWER:
      Energy drinks are BAD for you. I don't think you were supposed to drink that much, in fact, I don't think you were supposed to drink that at all. All that glucose and caffeine went straight to your heart, making it beat at an abnormally fast rate. Try to relax and lie down. Your body is probably just very sensitive to the energy drink and needs to adapt to it but the truth is you really shouldn't be drinking energy drinks because while they give you the energy boost it will wear off eventually, make you crash and you will feel even worse than before you started drinking them. In your case, it will definitely wear off. Try to find another alternative like orange juice. You don't need energy drinks to get you through the day, you just think you do. Hope that helps.

  32. QUESTION:
    What does that new 5 hour energy drink do?
    Im planning on going to a dance pretty soon and i want to be really hyper! Like jumping around and everything so what do i have to do to do that? I heard about this new 5 hour energy shot thing that i havent tried yet, would that work?

    • ANSWER:
      The stuff I tried gave me a niacin blush, and kept me up for 5+ hours with no side effects other than the raised temperature and blush. I was doing a car trip though, and then waiting until dawn to set up a tent. If you try one with a lot of niacin, don't wear a lot of clothing, or wear layers. You may sweat!

  33. QUESTION:
    Why does 5-Hour Energy Drink contain 8333% the necessary Vitamin B12?
    Why do those 5-hour Energy Drink shot bottles each contain 83 times the recommended daily value of Vitamin B12? (this is a 1-serving size bottle.)

    The label says 8333% per serving.

    Is this harmful (to consume that much Vitamin B12?) And why is it necessary for the bottle to have that much? Does it boost energy or something?
    @ Corbin: Thank you!

    Still, though, wouldn't putting in, say, 3 or 5 times the recommended daily value do the trick, instead of 80 times?

    • ANSWER:
      8333% Vitamin B12? 2000% Vitamin b6?
      Isn’t that dangerous?

      Not at all. In fact, the levels of B12 and B6 are well within safe limits. The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) is minimum daily amounts set by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine.

      Some people are sensitive to elevated amounts of niacin (Vitamin B3). The flushing is a result of the niacin in 5-Hour Energy increasing blood flow near the skin. It generally goes away in a few minutes, and you may not experience a niacin flush again. To help avoid a possible niacin take half a bottle or less and save the rest for later. You may also want to drink Decaf 5-Hour Energy which contains zero niacin.

    How long would the drink stay in the breast milk?

    • ANSWER:
      The 5 hour energy drink will get into your breast milk, and your baby will get the effects. There is no way to stop this. The baby will get super-energized, scream for hours and not sleep for two day.
      Trust me, this is not a way to get things done.

  36. QUESTION:
    Can I drink alcohol after taking the 5 hour energy decaf drink?
    I took the 5 hour energy decaf small drink about an hour ago, it wasn't working and now I want to drink alcohol now. Is this bad to do after taking the energy drink?

    • ANSWER:
      stimulents can allow you to drink more and not feel as drunk, which is bad. So you have to use your head and not drink too much regardless of how you feel. If you don't get stupid with how much you drink, you should be fine drinking after an energy drink. However, I wouldn't make a habit of it: energy and bad judgement is usually a bad conbination, not to mention that you are putting two chemicals in your body that conflict with what they are trying to make your body do.

      Use moderation and common sense, and as with most things, you should be fine.

    Okay so I'm trying out for a hockey team (haven't played in a few months due to an injury) and was looking for that extra kick to get me through. Would a five hour energy drink be the right way to go?
    You know like the actually "5 hour energy" that drink thing. It says all the energy without the crash. It's on T.V.

    • ANSWER:
      I have taken redline before a hockey game. and I played the best i have ever played energywise. it gave me the shakes and alerted my awareness. The downfall is that i couldnt sleep at all that night, had the worest cause of dirrhea the next moring and was litterly to tierd to function but could not sleep.

      An energy drink will not make you play better. if you havnt played in a couple of months and are rusty then the 5-hour energy wont help. Its not going to magicaly allow you to preform better skills. It will just increase your awareness.

  44. QUESTION:
    Will drinking a red bull, 5 hour energy drink or something else help me get through my work out?
    i am starting to lift and i am really pushing myself but im getting exhausted half way through my workout so i thought maybe i could chug an energy drink or something to help me out. any suggestions? also is muscle milk a good thing to drink afterwards?

    • ANSWER:
      Most energy drinks will contain high amounts of sugar and caffeine in which will cause you to have a crash half way through your workout; and can also cause health related problems down the line for you. My suggestion is to find an energy drink that contains little or no caffeine; and no sugar. I personally use XS Energy Drinks when I work out; and have for 3 years now because they contain NO Sugar and NO Carbs!!! There are 14 different flavors; and each one brings a unique taste to the table!!! I have found that it gives you a steady energy source throughout your day because of the high amounts of B vitamins it contains!!! Words cannot grant them satisfaction; I would advise you to try them for yourself and see if they work for you. Also; Muscle Milk is an ok thing to drink afterward; I used to use it as well; but then found better things to use. Hope this helps some.

  47. QUESTION:
    Is it true that 5 hour energy drink can cause stomach or colon cancer?
    I heard that this energy drink can cause cancer like symptoms and if not treated it can get quite serious in combination with stress and not enough food. Drinking it on empty stomach like the people in the commercial is reportedly the worst thing you can do. Is there anything to it or is it just a rumor?

    • ANSWER:
      cancer is a very long term disease due to damage to cells. you do not get it from one or two drinks
      But long term exposure to bad stuff like smoking, asbestos gasoline vapors and industrial chemical probably will sooner or later

      the energy drinks are mostly concentrated caffeine like several cups of coffee at once

      probably not a good idea to take too much

  48. QUESTION:
    is that new 5 hour energy drink safe, and has anyone ever tried it?
    I have to work a late night tonight and I can't sleep during the day because I have a 4 month old at home. I wanted to try that new 2 ounce 5 hour energy drink but I wanted to hear from others who have tried it. thanks in advance!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Do NOT buy five hour energy drinks. They taste horrid. Like a mixture of toothpaste and fruit. Now the concept of five hour energy is great, but the taste is honestly not worth it.

      I drink FRS, it is equivalent to the five hour energy drinks, but it doesn't taste as horrible. They taste pretty good actually. They contain very little sugar and caffeine, and give me tons of energy. I use em to give me an added boost before I work out and before soccer games. Lets me do twice as much and the energy lasts just as long as the five hour would. I found out about it here http://www.voernix.com/2008/07/frs.html and got a free trial because I was skeptical and didn't want to waste my money on it. But it definitely works and I've been an avid drinker for the past three months now.

  49. QUESTION:
    I would like to know if that 5 Hour energy drink works? and are there any side effects? Is it safe to use?
    5 Hour Energy is that new energy shot that came out recently. It worked for me but I seen a review of some people that it didnt' go so well for. I just wanted to know at a whole, if its safe and what the side effects are.

    • ANSWER:
      It's mostly made up of B vitamins which are water soluable and are absorbed into your body quickly.

      If you can get past the taste, they do work pretty well by increasing the energy levels (with the Vitamin B), and there is a slight crash.

      Start with 1/2 a bottle at first if you're worried about the affects. Likely, most of the affects are probably 'in your head'.

      Anything that increases you energy levels artificially is proabably not the best for your body.

      Good luck!
