I've always been a huge fan of 5-hour energy drinks, but it's just too expensive for me to take on a regular basis, I know I tried! I've always preferred not to drink coffee, the only way I can stand it is if I overload it with sugar so that's kind of a bust. My co-worker who is a crazy health nut introduced me to DMAA which I've been taking for energy along with caffeine.

It's weird because besides giving more energy, the DMAA also elevates my mood, I feel happier : ) I also like the cost, very affordable. Amazon has always had the best deals, for most things anyways; 10 Gram 1,3 Dimethylamylamine (DMAA or Geranamine) Bulk Powder and as i learned from mr. health nut, caffeine is cheapest and most potent in powder form, 250 grams Caffeine Anhydrous Bulk Powder so you just need to remember that one gram is like 10 cups of coffee so be careful when measuring!

I only take 100mg of caffeine and 25 mg of DMAA, and that gets me going just fine. My co-worker takes triple that of each but he weighs like twice as much as me. I'll always be a 5-hour energy drinker here and there but if you need a consistent source of energy and are concerned with price, this is the most effective and cost effective energy booster I've found. Hope this helps someone!

This product works great to give you that initial push you sometimes need to get moving without any jittery feelings or crash later. I only use 1/2 of the bottle at a time and the no refrideration needed makes it handy to keep in the car and drink on the way home from work when you have a lot you need to accomplish at home. Love it!

I decided to try 5 hour energy after it was recommended to me by my Dad. I have been drinking "Go Girls" for a while and I loved them. I wanted to try the 5 hour energy because the "Go Girls" kept me up at night.

First of all, I understand first hand that this drink affects people differently. Like I said my Dad loves it and swears by it, myself, not so much.

I decided to drink only half the bottle to start with, so it wouldn't be too overwhelming. But, even with half the bottle it really messed me up.

I felt tired but my heart wouldn't stop racing. It was pounding so much, like I just ran 10 miles in record time! The rest of my body felt awful too. My arms were jittery, yet kinda numb. My legs felt like spaghetti and my stomach felt like it was in knots. Andy even though my body felt like it was all amped up I still felt exhausted and needed to keep putting my head down. I also felt like I just wanted to have a meltdown and cry. It was awful!

Be careful if you try this. Take a little bit at a time. For the first time take it when you don't need to do anything or go anywhere. Like I said everyone reacts differently to it. My Dad has these like 2 or 3 times a week and loves it. So try it for yourself, but this was my experience.

Makes you feel alert without making your heart pound out of your chest. Doesn't make you feel hyper-alert, it just makes you feel normally awake. I've taken this on the brink of exhaustion late at night it definitely makes me feel 10 AM awake, without feeling obnoxious. I'm a regular coffee drinker but this stuff is alot more effective with no jitters. Works for about 3 hours for me but the 'no crash' thing is a bunch of hooey. It just means no sugar crash. If you were tired when you took it, you obviously better be near a couch when it wears off. Once your body remembers how tired you really are you'll pass right out when it wears off. Definitely the best out of all the energy drinks out there when used sparingly. Tastes horrible but it does what it claims to do. I only use this stuff sparingly, as-needed but has yet to let me down.

I love this product. I suffer with sinus problems, which depletes my energy level and this really helps to boost me up.

5-hour energy does what is promised. If you are looking for the nervous, jittery, and overall anxious feeling, this is not the drink. Plus with no hard crash, this is the best out there.

I'm a college student who needs all the extra energy I can get. 5- Hour Energy really gives me the boost I need with out any "crash". Berry and Orange flavors taste great. I highly recommend to everyone.

I am a serious runner and a cyclist. I am very skeptical most of too good to be true stuff but I do believe we landed on the moon and 9/11 caused by terrorists not by government. So I sacrificed my body to test this product in the name of humanity. I run without 5 hour energy and then I run with 5 hour energy. Difference is so obvious I really did get extra energy and power to shave off 2-3 minutes of my 5 mile morning run before annoying work day, as a matter of fact I still had gas in the tank to go another 4-5 miles if I had time. Same thing when I do road cycling specially 30-40milers, after 20 mile ride I take a shot of 5 hour energy and double my distance. Having only 4 calories but giving you so much energy is a good thing. I recommended this for my fellow earthlings

My husband loves this stuff. We ran out of it because I had a pending order elsewhere that fell through(they might have kept my money forever if I hadn't cancelled the backordered order), so, needless to say, I was happy to find a good price on Amazon that actually beat what I had thought was the best deal I could find. I received my product within a couple of days and am very satisfied.

As a person who has never consumed a cup of coffee or other energy drink before in his life, I can't say for certain just how effective 5-hour energy is in comparison.

I can say that it worked, though -- my God, did it work. Having drunk merely half the bottle, I felt energized and ready to roll in three or four minutes. The product was true to its label in that I was able to study with concentration from 12 o'clock to 5 with no "afternoon slump" or "jitters"(though for a time I did experience a subtle tingling in my fingers). When my five hours were up, I came back to normal and didn't feel any side effects or "caffeine crash". The product is not addictive: I bought a pack of twelve bottles a month ago and still haven't used them all.

5-hour energy should be used with wisdom, however -- the manufacturers say that it contains "no more caffeine than a cup of coffee" but doesn't specify the size of the cup. It took me an hour longer than normal to get to sleep when I drank a whole bottle.

That said, I have no other complaints to offer of this excellent energy drink. I suggest taking half of a bottle whenever you need a boost of concentration or motivation, as that is usually sufficient. Also, drink these only when you need to -- it's potent stuff, and I wager those little bottles can disappear quickly.

5-hour energy is a great resource for workouts, daily business, and the hurly-burly of modern life. I give it 4 stars.
