Product Review and Giveaway: 5 Hour Energy Drink

As a caffeine addict (there, I admit it!), energy drinks were not something I normally gravitate to. give me some shots of espresso and I'm good! 

But when the opportunity came from Smiley360 to try 5-hour Energy Drink,
i decided to give it a go!

5-hour ENERGY is a quick and simple way  to feel alert and energized for hours, in mere minutes, and on the go. And because the key ingredients in 5-hour ENERGY are also available in every day foods, it's perfectly SAFE for you as well!. It contains zero sugar, zero herbal stimulants, and four calories.So everybody can use it SAFELY! In fact, one bottle contains about as much caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee. So you don't have to stress over having too much caffeine in your system wither!

5 hour energy logoHere are 7 reasons to trust 5-hour ENERGY:
  • People choose 5-hour ENERGY over 9 million times a week- you can choose how much YOU need
  • Key ingredients are available in everyday food- like taurine (found in meat), tyrosine (found in meat and fish) and phenylaline (found in dairy, nuts, grains and veggies)
  • Packed with B-vitamins and nutrients, like folic acid
  • No artificial colors or dyes
  • Manufactured and bottled in the USA
  • Complies with the provisions of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act as regulated by the FDA
  • 5-hour ENERGY is in its 8th year of production, it's not some new, unheard of/tested product
In fact the only warnings: about it are very simple:





  • 5 hour ENERGY is not recommended for use with alcohol
  • 5-hour ENERGY is not for children


  • Both of which should be 'oh duh' of course not thoughts to any responsible adult! 

    The instructions are super simple- you can drink half the bottle, for moderate energy boost, or the full bottle for maximum energy, I had not realized that before I was sent the sample bottles! i like that I can be in control of how much I use, and need! (You also can NOT exceed 2 bottles per day, and they need to be consumed 5 hours apart, if possible). I also like that once opened, the bottle is good for 3 days. So if you need a boost today, but not the whole bottle,you can use the rest a couple of days later! 


    I also like that there are 5 flavors to choose, as well as a decaf version, and 2 extreme energy versions. So no matter your taste, there is one you will like. I was sent the Cherry flavor to try. I decided to try it while working a LONG night shift, as I was dragging, having not gotten enough sleep during the day. I took half the bottle and was encouraged by the taste. Know that taste when you make cherry lemonade? It's tart, but sweet at the same time? That's the flavor. It also tasted better, as I had chilled it (as recommended by a coworker, who has used it before). Within minutes the 'dragging' feeling left, and I felt about the same as having a double espresso shot- i was more alert and not as tired. Not so bad! the feeling lasted for about 4 hours, which was long enough to finish the shift and get home. I had no problem falling asleep either!


    Two days later I took a whole bottle instead. I also took it a little earlier in the evening. I definitely had MORE energy and felt like I was jolted back awake, but in a nice way! Again, it last about 4 hours, and I had no problem falling asleep. Would I take it all the time? No. But for the times when you just haven't had enough sleep(running errands, fitfulbaby, loud kids in the house, etc.), it is a quick and easy way toget some fuel into your system! It's also a LOT cheaper than buying a double espresso shot at your local coffee house! In fact, I noticed that a national drugstore chain has it 2 for $5.00 right now. That could be only $1.25 per serving, is you only use half the bottle. SO you could save easily $4 over the espresso single serving! AHA- it's a budget helper too! 


    I will be adding 5 hour Energy to my shopping list, I hope you give it a try too!
