Living Essentials 5 Hour Energy Supplements, Berry, 12 Count

Good price.

5 hr gives me the boost of awareness that I was expecting.

My wife uses these when she works overnight on the weekends. She says they are the best thing when she can't have coffee.

It was supposed to be the regular and it came "sugar free" I'm disappointed because I can find the sugar free anywhere and was hoping for the regular. Maybe update the product picture and description!

Several years ago I took a trip from San Diego to Great Basin National Park in east-central Nevada. It's about a 750-mile drive and i attempted to do it in a day. On the way there, I was getting really drowsy by the time we got to Las Vegas and we still had another 5 hours of driving. I stopped at a truck stop for gas and I noticed the little bottles of "5-hour Energy" drink. I'd seen them advertised on TV but had never tried any kind of energy drinks. I bought one. Being somewhat cautious, I sipped about half or the small bottle, saving the rest for a little later. Well, it seemed to work fine.On the way back to San Diego, I was tired and drowsy right from the beginning of the trip. I was fighting sleep all the way from the park to Las Vegas, where I gassed up. Remembering the "5-hour energy" drink experience, I bought another little bottle for the remaining seven-hour drive to San Diego. After driving for about an hour, I consumed the whole bottle. I was wide awake almost immediately. It was amazing! I still felt very tired, but I was awake and alert and remained that way for all the remaining drive to San Diego.Since that initial experience, I've used 5-Hour Energy perhaps several dozen times. Other than the awakeness and alertness, I have experienced no side effects at all. No nervousness. No jitters. No uneasiness. It has not effected my ability to sleep later during the day.My wife tasted it and hated the taste. She said she would not drink it again, but she doesn't have the drowsiness problems I have. The taste seemed fine for me. Somewhat medicinal, perhaps, but no problem. I'm not drinking it as a soft drink, after all. There are now several flavors available and whatever flavor it might be makes no difference to me.This stuff is effective! I'll now always have a couple bottles in my car for any long drive. It's expensive, but well worth it. The cost by the case, by the way, is substantially less than the cost of single bottles in the truck stops. I buy it at Costco. It's sold here by a variety of vendors. Which might I choose? Well, being frugal, I'd probably go for the cost per bottle, other things being equal.Gary Peterson
