Oh Apple you're my life
Celsius Apple orchard
Ok so here we have a new drink form one of my favorite companies. Celsius may not look the part but they make a great strong line of energy drinks. They are usually in the diet section at your local store instead of the energy drink section but don’t let that fool you. Here we have their try at a Stevia sweetened drink. A slippery slope indeed. Stevia might be the next big thing but so far I have not had a drink made with it that was actually delicious.
Packaging: Ok so the slim 12 oz can as usual looks more like a diet product than an energy drinks. It list key benefits of the drink and is informative. Not something you say wow about but in a workman like way it gets the job done. They do list caffeine content on the can so that is a plus. I think have there niche in the energy product field and a playing to that. Grade C+
Slogan: “Your Ultimate fitness partner” is on the can and I like it. I think it goes well with the packaging as well as their market. Grade B
Taste: So I pop the top and pour some in a cup. It comes out a light brown non carbonated liquid. It has a mild organic apple scent. I take a sip and I get a watery light apple juice flavor. I don’t really taste any bitterness and it is very light on the palate. It is not very sweet at all. I can taste the earthiness of the Stevia at the finish some but that is present in every Stevia product I have tried. Over all it goes down smooth. Grade C
Kick/Ingredients: Being non carbonated it goes down fast. It also hits you fast and hard. The kick is way stronger than you would expect based on the can design. If you have shied away from this drink because it does not look cool you are missing out on a good strong kick. It really got me going with no jitters. I was jacked up on my drive home and had plenty of energy to get in my 6 mile run with energy left over to cook breakfast for my daughter(I was on night shift), make coffee for the rest of the house and annoy everyone with my constant chatter. I got a good solid 4 hours of get stuff done energy. Celsius is powerd by 200 mg caffeine, Taurine, Guarana, Glucuronolactone, Green tea extract, ginger extract, and B vitamins at the 100% rda level. Then they throw in Vitamin C, Biotin, and Chromium to speed up metabolism. No calories or carbs. It is sweetened with Erythritol and Stevia extract Grade A-
Web Presence: The site at celsius.com while not exciting or fun gets the job done well. You will find a lot of product info, Studies conducted as to it’s benefits, and a good store. They also have a Facebook and a Twitter that appear to be up to date. Grade C+
Recap:
So once again Celsius has delivered a great product. This drink delivers big in the get stuff done with energy to spare department. The taste is light and easy to drink. I know a lot of people who hate artificial sweeteners so this gives them an option. If you truly want some good energy for the gym, work out, or just working around the house you need to give this stuff a try. Sure maybe you won’t look cool drinking it in front of your friends but you will have more energy.
A vision of fear becomes as real
Xyience Xtreme Frostberry
Yes! Another new Xtreme drink from Xyience. I am a big fan of the Xyience drinks especially when they come in the black can which means they are the stronger version of Xyience drinks. No idea what a Frostberry is supposed to be but it sounds tasty. Let’s check it out
Packaging: I usually love the slick black cans with their silver barcode and little colored circles. While this one is nice I think the picture of Wanderlei Silva just does not work. Sure he is a legend and all but he is not very edgy and really not attractive. This is a limited edition can though so it is collectable and will be replaced by one with out his image later. Grade B
Slogan: “Xtreme science for your active lifestyle” is on the can. And as I have said before it works well. I’d rather see a more aggressive slogan myself but this one works ok. Grade B-
Taste: Ok so I pop the top and get a nice a candied raspberry scent. Pouring some in a cup it comes out a frosty white color with a heavy carbonation. I take a sip and it is a really tasty blue Raspberry. It is sugar free but not over sweetened and the heavy carbonation really works great with this flavor. Over ice or ice cold this flavor is just plane great. There is no bitterness or after taste. Really it just tastes like a good sugar free soda. Wish I had more than just the one can they sent me though because I would drink this on a regular basis. Grade A
Kick/Ingredients: As usual I got a great kick from this Xyience drink. This stuff really wakes you up and gets your blood pumping. I don’t think it gives me enough energy to take on Wanderlei in the octogon but I swear I could outrun him! I had a solid top notch buzz with no jitters that lasted me 3 to 4 hours with no crash. As with the other the ingredients in Xyience Xtreme are stronger than regular Xyience and include Caffeine at 208mg, Taurine, Ginseng, Guarana, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, L-Carnitine , and some really good B vitamin levels. There are 0 calories, 2 grams of carbs, and no sugar. It is sweetened with sucralose and Ace K. Grade B+
Web Presence: Like I have said before the site at xyience.com is top notch. You will find plenty of product info, tons of MMA and UFC info, a store, events, and more. Really this is one of the better sites I have seen in a while. This is a site you need to check out for sure. Grade A
Recap:
As far as Xyience flavors go this is definitely one of my favorites. I already knew to expect a great kick but the taste really surprised me. If you already enjoy Xyience drinks I am sure you will love this one. If you have not tried one before I suggest you start with this one first. Try it and let me know what you think
Man you gotta be crazy
Loco Tonic energy shot
So while strolling through my local closeout/discount I came up this little beauty here. I had tried the drink of the same name but this was the first I had heard of the shot. I never reviewed the drink but I figured why not have a go at the shot.
Packaging: Ok so it is a 2 0z shot bottle but it is a little slimmer and taller then your typical energy shot bottle. The label is a bright yellow that really catches your eye. The graphic of the smiley face sticking out it’s tongue and wearing a sombrero is very campy and silly. I do like the font of the loco Tonic part though and the caffeine amount is listed on the back. Grade C- for packaging. This package makes it look cheap and more like a novelty product, Novelty products are usually only bought one so I think that is not a good look if you want repeat customers.
Slogan: “Let your body go sonic” is their slogan and it is ok. Sonic rhymes with tonic so they have that making it catchy. Grade C+
Taste: So I open the little bottle and pour out a very brown liquid. I take a sip and it is super sweet. It fact I would call it cloyingly sweet and just over the top. The flavor seems to be a kind of berry with a strange finish that I just can’t pin down. I will say there was no bitterness or medicinal taste at all. Aside from the super sweetness it is not too bad though. Grade B-
Kick/Ingredients: So I was expecting a just average buzz from this novelty looking shot. I was surprised though when in the typical 15 minutes I was very alert. I had a high level of energy and I was in a much better mood than before. Not a super buzz but a pretty strong one that got me moving and becoming very talkative. I had a good solid buzz for around 4 hours with no crash. Loco Tonic is powered by 200 mg caffeine, Taurine, Ginseng, Guarana, L-Carnitine , and moderate amounts of B vitamins. It comes with 0 calories, 0 carbs, and 0 sugar. It is sweetened with Splenda brand sucralose and Ace k. I give this shot a solid B for kick/ingredients
Web Presence: The site at locotonic.com looks just a cheesy as the packaging. Still it is not bad at all. It provides so good ingredients info as well as information about the company and its officers. They also list some celebrity endorsements. There is a store as well as a promotions section. Not super professional but easy to navigate and useful. Grade B
Recap:
I have to say I was very surprised. The shot as well as the people behind it(I read their Bios) seem much more professional than their packaging would lead one to believe. I think if the relabeled these drinks they would have a good chance at making a dent in the shot market. These shots have a unique/good taste and deliver a very solid kick and if you can get some I suggest you give it a try.
Y'ALL SCARED!(Yikes!)
Yikes energy shots (3 flavors)
So my buddy Joe was out of town and when he got back he said he found some energy shots. Usually it is a let down since I have most likely already tried them. To my surprise he hand over 3 shots flavor and it is a brand I have never heard of. Reasearch tells me these are a store brand shot from E-Z Mart. Let’s check them out.
Packaging: Typical 2 oz plastic white shot bottle. From there it gets better with each shot flavor having it’s on colorful whimsical design. Waves, dots, diamonds and such grace each on and they are all so fun. Really I like these bottles a lot and that is pretty cool for a store brand. Grade A-
Slogan: None to be found. Grade F
Taste: Watermelon: Orange colored liquid with a mild watermelon scent greets me when I pour some in a cup. I take a sip and it is a really sweet watermelon candy flavor. It taste good with a nice tart finish giving it a nice zing at the end. Not bitterness or after taste. Grade B+
Kick/Ingredients: Surprisingly each time I tried one of these shots it delivered pretty well. In 15 minutes I was a wake with some mid level energy and had a nice non jittery buzz going for about 3 to 4 hours with no crash. I’d put it on par with a 5 hr energy shot as far as buzz. Just like regular 5 hr it has an 1870mg energy blend. Yikes blend consist of Caffeine, Glucuronolactone, N Acetyl L Tyrosine, Taurine, malic acid, Citicoline and a good dose of B vitamins. No enzyme blend though. You get this with 5 calories and 3 grams of carbs. There is no sugar as it is sweetened with sucralose. Grade B-
Web Presence: All you have is the site at e-zmart.com which while nice looking offers no shot info. They also have a Facebook page. Grade C+
Recap:
You know for a store brand these are some pretty good shots. Maybe not quite as strong as 5 hour but the Watermelon flavor is way better tasting. E-Z Mart is a chain in Texas so if your are down this way you might want to check these shots out especially if they are a cheaper price.
Zoom Zoom Zoom
Zoom Water
So it has been a while since I had a caffeinated water. Some new to the energy drink game might never have heard of caffeinated water but it has been around for a while. I have reviewed one before and I know of several others. Thing is it has yet to catch on and I am not sure why not. It is the ultimate sugar free energy drink and it also as a lot of other uses. Zoom Water has come out of the gate with a lot of enthusium and I am hoping they can take it to the next level.
Packaging: Nothing ground breaking but then again it is water with caffeine. It comes in a sturdy 16.9 oz plastic bottle. The label is simple yet it gets the message across that it is caffeinated water. I like the red Zoom font. The rest is fairly generic but this is a first gen product. One big plus is that the bottle is made of some type of Biodegradable plastic. Grade C+
Slogan: On the label I found “Water + Caffeine = ZOOM” and I like it. It is product specific and right to the point. Grade B
Taste: Really this part is more about lack of taste. You are not supposed to taste the caffeine at all. I think they have succeeded it the only taste being that of nice spring water. There is no bitterness or aftertaste at all. Just clean crisp water. I don’t know how you take bitter caffeine and add it to tasteless water and yet you can’t taste the caffeine. Surely it involves some sort of wizardry or debauched ritual since it just does not seem possible otherwise. Grade A
Kick/Ingredients: So it has an undisclosed amount of caffeine that is probably 70 mg I would guess. I drank a bottle down quickly on a warm day and it did provide me a nice pick me up. It is more subtle than a sugar filled energy drink but it does wake you up. I’d put it a notch under your typical 8 oz 80mg caffeine energy drink. Where Zoom really delivers is that you can make stuff with it. I tried it in my Keurig coffee maker for a jacked up cup of joe and it really pepped up the coffee to the next level. Caffeinated jello! Caffeinated cup of soup! Caffeinated Crystal light! Hell make some Kool Aid since I know you love that stuff. Kool aid comes in a ton of flavors. All of them have no caffeine though. Zoom water to the rescue. Lastly I had a homeless dominatrix give me a zoom water caffeinated enema and it really took that to a new and exciting level. Usually enemas put me to sleep but with Zoom I was wide awake the whole time! (just kidding about that last use) ;0 Grade C+ for kick/ingredients.
Web Presence: No website at the moment but they do have a twitter and a Facebook. They also are sold online at Thirstmonger and Amazon. Grade B
Recap:
In all honesty this is a really great product. I found it very useful to take to the gym or on a long run where I wanted moderate caffeine and refreshing hydration. The beauty of this water is that it is just water and caffeine and that is all. No sugar, artificial sweeteners, or other strange ingredients. I hope this company can finally put caffeinated water on the map. It really has a ton of uses.
Under the cover
The protein summer
Monster Rehab Protean
Onward to the last of the new Rehab flavors. This one is quite a bit different being that it is a protein energy tea. I have had several protein energy drinks so I am curious if monster can pull it off. Protein drinks are a little outside of the box for an energy drink company but Monster is a company I think has the balls and the know how to get it done.
PackagingSame can as the others except it is a light blue color. Not sure why they went with the light blue color for the Protean drink. Makes it less manly to me and I would think a protein drink would be aimed at a more masculine market. Still it is sharp as always. Grade A-
Slogans: I found 2 slogans. “Rehab the Beast!” and also “Re-Fresh, Re-Hydrate, Re-Store” I like both but the second one is better overall. I appreciate the effort they put into slogans and make them drink specific. Grade. A-
Taste ect: So popping the top on this one I get strange floral type scent. Pouring some in a cup it comes out a thick no carbonated liquid with a light green tea color. I take a sip and I get some tea as well as some protein taste(think yogurt) and a hint of fruit. Really it is pretty unpleasant and like reader Josh pointed out to me it was like drinking cologne! I think he nailed it with the scent and not very pleasant taste. I had a hard time getting this one down. In the end I think I can get my protein and energy in a better tasting form elsewhere. Grade D
Kick/Ingredients: As for energy it really delivered well. I drank this can quick because it tasted pretty bad. It hit me very hard in 15 minutes. I went on a tear at work plowing through my usual work and then some. I really think the energy in this one was a tad better than the other Monster Rehab drinks for some reason. I had a bit of jitters but in the end little to no crash. I got a good 4 to 5 hours of strong energy. If you can stomach the flavor then the energy is delivered by .170 mg caffeine, glucose, white tea extract,black tea extract, concentrated coconut water, , Yerba Mate, Quercetin, Guarana, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, L-Carnitine, Acai extract, Goji Berry extract, and prickly pear extract. Then besides the blend you have Taurine, Ginseng, some B vitamins, and 15 grams of Whey Protein. You get all that with 100 calories and 10 grams of carbs and 8 grams of sugars. It is sweetened with sucralose ,Ace K and Sugar. Yes it has sugar in it. I give it a solid A- for kick/ingredients.
Web presence: monsterenergy.com is one of the top 3 energy drink sites out there. Tons to do so if you have not you should check it out. A-
Recap:
Ok so of all the Rehab flavors I think this one had the best energy but by far the worst taste. I suggest you give it a try if you are interested because personally I don’t think it will be around a long time. Of course I could be wrong but from what I have heard from others they agree that is does not taste very good.
I was Green before Green was a thing
Monster Rehab Green Tea
Ok so on to the 2nd new Monster Rehab. This time it is Green Tea and I have no idea what to expect. Of course I expect similar ingredients to the other Rehabs but aside from Green Tea what will the flavor be? Lets check it out.
Packaging: The tough thing about reviewing all 3 of the new Rehabs is that really the only difference there is going to be is coloring. Just like the other cans this one has the same basic design. I do like the various fonts which add some aggressiveness. The light blue green coloring is really different for a Monster can and makes it less aggressive. So I’ll give it the same grade A-
Slogans: I found 2 slogans. “Rehab the Beast!” and also “Re-Fresh, Re-Hydrate, Re-Store” I like both but the second one is better overall. I appreciate the effort they put into slogans and make them drink specific. Grade. A-
Taste ect: So I tried this drink twice because the first time I threw away the can before I took a photo. Glad I did the first time I did not enjoy it much. The second time however I found it to be very tasty. You start with a light brown non carbonated liquid that has a tea and fruit scent. Taking a sip I get it right away. Pineapple! Yes it starts with a nice real pineapple juice flavor followed by some light tea and apple flavor then it finishes with that signature pineapple juice zing. You know that taste right? It is unique to pineapple. There is no bitterness and the drink taste very natural. I’ve had several pineapple flavored juice but this on uses real juice so it taste totally different. Grade A for taste!
Kick/Ingredients: So I drank this down quickly and it hit me hard in fast in the usual 15 minutes. I was really going strong and had a ton of useful energy. There were no jitters and I was in the best mood of the day. I got a solid 4 hours of big energy with no crash. It is powered by 170 mg caffeine, glucose, black tea extract, Green tea extract, concentrated coconut water, Quercetin, Guarana, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, L-Carnitine, Acai extract, Goji Berry extract, and Prickly Pear extract. Then besides the blend you have Taurine, Ginseng, some B vitamins, and Vitamin C. This flavor has Pineapple juice and apple juice for a total of 4% juice. You get all that with 20 calories and 8 grams of carbs and 4 grams of sugars. It is sweetened with sucralose and Ace K. I give it a solid B+ for kick/ingredients.
Web presence: monsterenergy.com is one of the top 3 energy drink sites out there. Tons to do so if you have not you should check it out. A-
Recap:
Ok so not sure why I did not enjoy this flavor the first time but I am so glad I tried it again. It taste great and natural and goes down so smooth in the morning especially. It delivers a really nice blast of fun and useful energy that last a good bit. If you like pineapple you have to give this drink a try. Monster just keeps bringing it. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Baby, baby, when we first met
I never felt something so strong
Monster Rehab Rojo Tea
So finally Monster is out with more Rehab flavors. I told you about these a few months back and have been looking ever since. So as usual Monster has not rested. When will Red Bull wake up and quit resting on its laurels? Each of the Rehab drinks is a little different. Lets check out this Rojo.
Packaging: Typical 15.5 oz size Monster can. They are continuing to use the black top on their cans and that makes for a great look. It is exactly like the original Rehab except for the coloring. So I’ll give it the same grade A-
Slogans: I found 2 slogans. “Rehab the Beast!” and also “Re-Fresh, Re-Hydrate, Re-Store” I like both but the second one is better overall. I appreciate the effort they put into slogans and make them drink specific. Grade. A-
Taste ect: So I pop the top and get a sweet fruity scent along with a hint of tea. I pour some in a cup and it comes out reddish tea color with no carbonation. I take a sip and right off I get some cranberry followed by some cherry and a little herbal tea. It is sweet and more juice than tea with a little of the cranberry bitterness at the finish. This drink goes down fast and smooth. I like it even more than the original lemon rehab. The combination of flavors just explode in your mouth( don’t even go there!). Grade A+
Kick/Ingredients: As with the original this drink really delivers the energy. Had had this early in the morning when I needed a little rehab myself and in 15 minutes I felt a big blast of energy. The energy level never quite reached the jitters but it was close. I also felt a lot more refreshed. I had a good solid buzz for at least 4 hours with no crash. The ingredients are almost identical to Lemonade Rehab.170 mg, glucose, black tea extract, concentrated coconut water, Milk Thistle, Quercetin, Guarana, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, L-Carnitine, Acai extract, Goji Berry extract, and Mangosteen extract. Then besides the blend you have Taurine, Ginseng, and some B vitamins. You also have Cranberry juice in this flavor instead of Lemon juice. There is no Vitamin C in this flavor. You get all that with 20 calories and 6 grams of sugars and carbs. It is sweetened with sucralose and Ace K. I give it a solid B+ for kick/ingredients. They really put some thought into this product.
Web presence: monsterenergy.com is one of the top 3 energy drink sites out there. Tons to do so if you have not you should check it out. A-
Recap:
So as much as I enjoyed the original Lemonade Rehab I like this one even more. It has an awesome cranberry cherry flavor and it delivers a great rehabbing kick. If you enjoyed the original Rehab then you have to try this one. Monster has another winner on their hands for sure.
Someone better slap me,
Before I start to rust
Aero Shot
Ok so once again we have another new way to get your caffeine fix. Inhalable caffeine. That is what they say so of course I had to try this stuff out. Lucky for me they got me a few samples to get the first review in.
Packaging: Groundbreaking is all I can say. It comes in a single pouch or 3 to a box. Inside the pouch or box you will find these little plastic inhaler tubes. You slide the tube open and inhale. The box is pretty nice looking with a mature feel to it. It is not cluttered and is pretty appealing. Grade A
Slogan: Found 2. “Breathable energy” and “Energy Unplugged” both of these are pretty good and I appreciate the effort. Grade B
Taste: Ok so while it is breathable you don’t inhale it into your lungs. Upon inhaling a fine powder falls into your mouth. The powder has a lime flavor to it but it is followed by some caffeine bitterness. Not a lot but there is some. It was very interesting for sure and the lime flavor is pretty good. Grade B
Kick/Ingredients: So there are 5 or 6 puffs in each inhaler. I chose to do all of them quickly to get the full effect. It took 10 minutes or less but I was more alert. It hits quicker than your typical shot or drink. It was not intense but it was great for a boost at work with no jitters or crash. It lasted about 2 to 3 hours. Each inhaler delivers energy from 100 mg caffeine and a fair dose of B vitamins. There are no calories and it is sweetened with Stevia. Grade C+
Web Presence: The site at aeroshots.com is very nicely down with a ton of information and a way to purchase. This is a professionally done site for sure. They also have a Facebook and a Twitter. Grade A- for web presence
Recap:
Ok so this is a really cool and unique product. It is super portable so you can take it pretty much anywhere including on planes. It delivers the energy quick and discreetly so that is good for those needing energy in a more professional setting. It is light weight so it would be great to take on long hikes or rides. Overall I think it is a product you shoud try. I think you will enjoy it.
I'm the fireball of the party, I'm the fire
Fireball
So the drinks are still coming out. Sometimes it seems most of the new energy products are everything except drinks. It is nice to get a drink for a change. Fireball while not new is new to the USA. Let’s check it out
Packaging: Ok it is your typical classic 8.4 oz/250 ml energy drink can. I really like it though. It is black, slick and clean looking. No clutter just the name a small fireball, and the words energy drink on the front. On the back is drink info in a ton of different languages since this is really and international product. Grade B
Slogan: “Get fired up” Is one I found on their Facebook page. I wish it was easier to find but it is a pretty good drink specific slogan. Grade B
Taste: So I pop the top and right away I get that familiar energy drink scent. It is not overly pungent like some classic style drinks I notice and that is a plus. Pouring some in a glass it comes out a golden color with medium carbonation. I take a sip and it is a really nicely done classic(RB clone) flavor. It has the usual white grape/apple/bubblegum flavor with a hint of vanilla. It is neither gummy nor medicinal though which makes it very enjoyable. There is no bitterness or aftertaste. Overall while nothing ground breaking you will enjoy it if you like Red Bull. Grade B-
Kick/Ingredients: So I drank a can down pretty quickly and it took about 15 minutes to get to me. It was a pretty mild boost as expected since it has less caffeine than most energy drinks. I think this makes it a good mixer so you don’t overdo the caffeine while drinking all night at the club or pub. I got maybe 2 hours of mild jitter free energy with no crash. This drink is powered by about 40 mg Caffeine, Taurine, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, and some B vitamins. Not sure about the calories but it is sweetened with sugar. Grade C- for kick/ingredients
Web Presence: This drink is sold in 27 countries but I’ll suggest you go to the USA website at fireballus.com where you will find events, info, and a store. They also have a Facebook page. Not bad for just starting out. Grade C
Recap:
So what we have here is a lower caffeine energy drink that taste really good. I know they are international so that is one reason they keep the caffeine content down. Some countries limit the caffeine amount by law. Still I can say this drink is worth trying especially if you are planning on drinking several. I can see this being a big hit at bars and clubs in place of Red Bull. I say give it a try and let me know what you think.
I Sing the Body Electric
Endorush Xtreme Strength Green Apple
So I was requested by a reader to give this stuff a try. Looked into it and it seemed like something good. I know it is an extreme drink so I am looking to see how it holds up against the likes of ABB and Redline drinks.
Packaging: So this is a nice red plastic glossy 8 oz bottle. It really sets itself apart from most other energy drinks including extreme ones. The label looks very professional as well with limited text and clutter. The combination of red with the chrome just really pops and grabs your attention. Grade A-
Slogan: “Extreme energy & Performance Rush” is the only thing I could find. Not bad but nothing special or exciting. Grade C+
Taste: I like green apple usually so I have high hopes for this flavor. I open the top and it has a mild apple scent. Not as much apple as I expected. Pouring some in a cup it comes out a dark green color. I take a sip and I get some apple but it is way different than I expected. It is kind of like an apple pie flavor with a hint of caramel or something followed by some chemical notes. This is not a tart green apple flavor at all. It is very sweet at the finish and it lingers unpleasantly. Not a fan at all but it is drinkable as long as you wash it down with some water. Grade D+
Kick/Ingredients: Really this is where this drink is supposed to deliver. It is 2 servings in an 8 oz bottle and I suggest you follow the directions. Within minutes this stuff hit me like a ton of bricks. This was a full on lift some weights or do something physical buzz. It was somewhat jittery and very intense. I got a solid 4 hours of energy that really lasted longer than I wanted because I ran out of stuff to do! You want a balls to the wall rush of energy then this is the drink for you. Just be prepared because it is intense. I can’t even consider drinking an entire bottle. Ingredients include L-Arginine-Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Beta-Alanine (CarnoSyn®), L-Citrulline-Malic Acid, L-Citrulline-Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, L-Histidine-Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid, Taurine, N-Acetyl-Tyrosine, Glucuronolactone, Methylxanthine (Caffeine), Potassium Glycerophosphate, Magnesium Glycerophosphate , Di-Calcium Phosphate, Di-Potassium Phosphate, Di-Sodium Phosphate, Cinnulin- PF® (Cinnamon Extract) (Bark), Chromium Propionate (CR-Pro™), and some B vitamins. Holy crap that is a lot of stuff! Caffeine amount is not known.You get this with 5 calories and no carbs or sugars. Grade A for kick/ingredients
Web Presence: The site at bsnonline.net is not bad. It looks professional and has some ingredients info as well as a Store, Team BSN, and some hot BSN girls. Not a ton of info and no routine or training tips that I could find. Overall better than average. Grade C+
Recap:
So it is not a bad drink. On the plus side it kicks like a mule and offers 2 servings in a bottle for value. On the minus side it does not taste very good at all. So there may be better tasting extreme drinks than this but it does hold it’s own against the other when it comes to extreme energy.
