I tried 5 hour energy for the first time today.
I have to admit I was VERY skeptical at first. I have tried all the energy drinks before, redbull, redbull sugar free, monster etc. Every single one made me jitterty, I figured the combination of the caffene and sugar did not work for me.
5 Hour energy worked for me, like I said I was very skeptical so I didn't take the whole bottle at once I figured "a whole can of red bull makes me jitterty then how can a little tiny bottle of caffene not make me"?
About 15mins later I was alert and fully focused. It gave me a burst of energy that lasted from about 8:30am to about 2:00pm which was exactly what I needed, I didn't get jitterty or feel like after 6 hours that I was exausted which is what most of the energy drinks did.
I took the other half at around 2:00PM when I can feel myself getting drowsy and once again a burst of energy to get me through the rest of my shift.
Now, on a negitive note the taste is just awful, this was my first time tasting it, and friends of mine warned me about the taste, I've only tried the lemon-lime but goodness make sure you plug your noise when swallowing cause it will take your breath away.
I recommend people a postive note on this product, it's not something I would use on a daily basis but after working a long shift or a sleepness night it's okay. Maybe once every 2 months wouldn't hurt. It's packed full of minerals and vitamins but heavy doses are not good for you.
