I bought one of these and one of the mana potions for fun--was going on a trip to meet up with some friends who would appreciate such items. Here's what we all pretty much agreed on:

Visual: Small but very attractive packaging. Pretty much exactly what you might think a health potion would look like in real life based upon many popular games. Smaller than expected--but then it more easily explains how your character in World of Warcraft, or 'toon, could carry 40 in one backpack.

Taste: Also explains why your 'toon refuses to drink another one for several minutes, even if it means dying. Dying is preferable as long as you still have the aftertaste. Think cough syrup, only without the benefit of alcohol or drugs. Very glad it came in 50ml bottles--one good sized swig and it's gone. After a short period of time, however, one starts to think it wasn't that bad. An appropriate support group could probably help with that mild problem.

Effects: Works as advertised per friends who drank it (I drank the mana potion). They were able to stay up as late as they desired, were able to concentrate well, and noted no adverse effects the next day.

Active ingredients: Per their website, contains 25 calories per serving, includes Vitamin C (100% RDA), B1 (80% RDA), B5 (80% RDA), B6 (1600% RDA), B12 (100% RDA) as well as caffeine and enzymes. Caffeine content roughly equivalent to two Red Bulls or four cups of coffee.

Bottom line: Works well, but based upon the caffeine I would not recommend for children or anyone else you wouldn't hand a pot of coffee to and expect them to drink it all. Really shouldn't be listed in toys and games, but rather with food or energy drinks.

This stuff is absolutely atrocious. I'm a huge fan of energy drinks - generally Monster or 5hr Energy are my top picks, but this seemed interesting enough to try out. The stuff is awful - it doesn't wake you up at all, has no kick, tastes horrible, and worst of all it has made me feel terrible pretty much all afternoon - very bad stomach ache. I would not drink another bottle if somebody offered to pay me the $20 I spent on a six pack of the stuff. (Also, aside from ebay feedback, this is the first online review I have written of ANYTHING - nothing has motivated me enough to sign in and complain about it before, ever, and I buy far too many things for my own good. Hopefully that speaks to how awful this stuff is.) Buyer beware - you could spend half as much money to pay a stranger to kick you in the stomach, and have the same experience.

If you want to buy this to set on a shelf. Go for it! It's kinda cute and fun to have around while gaming. However if you actually intend to drink it. DONT!!! It tastes nastier than anything I've ever drank. It gave me a headache. I've tried alot of energy drinks and none have been this nasty or made me feel totaly sick like that.

There I was, face to face with the fabled Gorlok monster with only 10 HP left. A lesser man would have turned and run, but not me, I had a secret weapon. The Gorlok lunged at me with his 12 arms flailing and his teeth gnashing violently. I could smell the stench of death as his long talons narrowly missed my already tattered left arm while quickly I rolled to the side. As the Gorlok was recovering from his voracious strike I slipped out my Health Energy Potion and downed it in a single, hurried gulp. I could feel my strength being restored and much to my amazement my arm was fully healed! Those magnificent bastards at Energy Drinks have done it again! I sprinted towards the Gorlok, jumped high in the air and did a triple axel while coming down with all my force into the eye of the mighty beast. The Gorlok let out a deafening roar as he toppled to the ground, dead by my hand. I had finally saved the princess who was trapped in that dark castle all these years. I approached her majesty and I'll never forget what she said to me, "Thank you Jeremy! But our princess is in another castle!" Son of a...

I bought one of these to give to my dying grandfather. He did not recover.

I picked these and the mana pots up to display in our curio cabinet. They are totally perfect! Unfortunately, I saved a couple to taste.

If you like how feet, farts, and vitamins taste when licked off of an old woman, you'll love the flavor.

If, however, you prefer your beverages don't immediately make you feel regret and a building of bile in the back of your throat, leave them on the shelf.

Well to start I don't know why this is under toys when it's a drink. The bottle is pretty and coll looking but the smell and taste is terrible. Also the horrible taste will stay in your mouth for quite a while. I don't recommend this is you intend to drink it. But I resealed mine and put in on a shelf with the rest of my collectors stuff. Same thing goes for the mana drink, very pretty and cool but the grossest thing you can imagine.

I tried both the "Health" and the "Mana". Both were awful in taste and neither had any discernable effect on my energy levels. I bought them for their appearance as a fun gift for my LAN group. One of the bottles had leaked in the box and the smell alone should have warned me to not drink it. But live and learn. The one benefit I got out of the purchase was that the bottles can be filled with water and food coloring to use as game props or displays. They are aesthetically pleasing to the eye when you hang them in a window with the different colors catching the daylight.

Got the health and mana potions for my son-- a wow enthusiast. He thinks they taste weird-- I think they taste better than most energy drinks, but that's a matter of opinion...
He was shocked to pull them from his stocking and I got instant "Cool Mom" points-- so I was very happy.
They are great for the novelty though I wouldn't pay the exorbitant price and shipping and handling to get them again...

These are awesome. I'm not going to drink them, they're just to have, for fun, since i love to play world of war craft (where one of my character's profession is alchemy.)
