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.

ANOTHER MUST READ REVIEW:
The problem with this drink is the huge difference on how good one flavor is and how bad another one is.

I purchased the Fruit punch, which comes in a orange and black bottle and was very happy with the way it tasted. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I got the "black adder" 1 out of 5, the red and black bottle and it's terrible! this thing was kind of like a whiskey in respect that it had stages in the taste. First it tasted like a terrible flat mixed drink, Second it changed to almost like a very over carbonated pixie stick, the after taste was that of cough medicine.

So I would suggest that you try fruit punch first. I have yet to try grape, but the black mamba is terrible.

As a recovering opiate addict, I find that 5 hour energy has the vitamin b complex to help one of the most depleted vitamins that were destroyed in the body. It helps with my mind and energy. When one is on opiates for a long time, your enery level is depleted. I am very greatful for this drink as it does help me recover from long term opiate addiction and gives me energy to get out of bed and do a few things around the house. thank you

Me and my friend each drank half the bottle to test it.
I had a basketball game an hour before and when during my warm-up and through out the game I felt dizzy and even more tired than I was before.
Same with my friend, he felt the same way I did.
I was hoping it would work since I read many positive reviews about this drink but unfortunately it didn't give us that kick that I thought it would.

5 stars to the berry flavored, 2 starts for the lemon lime flavored. (it's kinda gross)

I found that I do on occasion get a little jittery when taking a whole bottle if I haven't ate, so I will only take half like the bottle says and it does just fine. It gives me a nice smooth boost of energy, rather than a quick burst like Monster or redbull tends to do. There really is no crash later. I also like taking this energy drink because I can take it late in the day and still fall asleep if I want too and it doesn't interfere with my sleep at all like other drinks can. I also like that it is so small, a few sips and the whole bottle is gone, no more 16-20oz of carbonated beverage to upset my stomach.

I have once experienced the "flush" that they report on the back of the bottle but it lasted only a few minutes and was really not that bothersome.

It is a little pricey though so I do not buy it often

I bought this because the store I stopped at was out of the regular. I found that it made me a little jittery, where as the original does not. It did give me a nice boost of energy and the energy "transition" was smooth, no sudden rush or anything. I fell like if I wanted to go to sleep I could, but I could also go tackle cleaning the garage. It's a nice feeling.

All I can say is WOW!! If you like mangos, papyas, apples and pears you will LOVE Blu Frog! It’s all natural and did I mention the fact that it is truly good for you unlike all the other well known energy drinks! And its mom and coach approved!! Don’t take my word for it look it up in the July 2009 issue of LIVING magazine! http://www.BluFrogCash.8k.com

Oh wow where to begin. My late-thirties daughter who was running 12 miles a day this summer drank a whole bottle of 5-hour Energy just prior to her daily runs and she said it gave her the boost to both motivate and sustain her in the run.

I'm a 59-year old overweight woman plagued by night-time eating and nothing and I mean nothing has helped me--I've tried everything. As the weight has piled on my energy level has fearfully dwindled to almost nothing which as you can imagine has only worsened my health and increased my weight and needless to say, the quality of my life is diminished because of this and I've fallen into depression.

Late this afternoon I could hardly walk I was so exhausted. I remembered the 5-hour Energy drinks my daughter left here and drank one. It's exactly 7 hours later and still have I not eaten anything since dinner, nor have I even thought of food. For anyone with this problem, you know what a blue-ribbon event this is if drinking 5-hour Energy does this for me tomorrow and the next day and the next day.

I read many of the reviews here to find only two brief mentions of 5-hour Energy CONTROLLING APPETITE!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote that in caps in case it helps someone reading these reviews, and suffers from lack of appetite control, could also be helped by this drink.

As my screename says--here's hoping I've found the solution to a life-long curse of night time eating. During these seven hours after drinking it, I've felt extremely alert, focused, and at peace. It's midnight, and though I don't feel tired, I do feel as though I will fall asleep quickly when I go to bed soon.

I'll report back in a few days and weeks to give you updates of how it's going.

Please wish me luck!! And, certainly I hope anyone with this problem of overeating benefits from 5-hour Energy.
