Engage Peach Mango
Ok it seems Nutrivation have done a little reformulation, added some new flavors, and redesigned the packaging since last time I reviewed their drink. In case you did not know Engage is one of those rare extreme energy drinks. I consider drinks like Engage, Redline and Spike Shooter to extreme drinks. These are not drinks for sipping at a meeting or drinking while driving to pick up the kids at practice. These are drinks for doing stuff and they are not for kids.
Packaging: I really like the old packaging but the new design is nice as well. It is a 10 oz silver plastic bottle with a silver label. I love the wicked cool font and the graphic that reminds me of something that has been clawed. The chrome orange outline on the lettering and around the label is also pretty sharp. Grade B for packaging.
Slogan: “Pure Adrenaline” is right on the bottle and it is perfect. This is a drink that is extreme and this slogan fits that. Grade B+
Taste: I twist off the lid and pour the pale lightly pink liquid into a cup. It is pretty clear and water like with only a hint of color and no carbonation. Taking a sip I get a really nice sweet peach flavor. The peach is kind of creamy tasting and is followed by a very slight hint of mango. The level of sweetness is just enough to mask the energy ingredients and yet not be over powering or cloying. There is no after taste or bitterness. For an extreme drink this one taste very good. Not a lot of peach drinks out there and I’m glad I found this one. Grade B+
Kick/Ingredients: Ok so you are supposed to drink half at a time but I of course did not. After drinking it down I started feeling a great mood boost and energy was ramping up. I was not jittery at all but I was not zooming as much as I expected. Here is where this drink really excels though. Doing stuff. I hammered out some pc work and was typing extremely fast with great focus and accuracy. Then right after that I went out for a run. Let me tell you I was pumped for this run at that point. I ran with zeal and it seemed effortless. I made record time and when I felt I was running out of steam I still ran with a lot of energy as I got a second wind. This drink seems to really kick in when you start doing anything. It’s weird but the more I did the more energy I seemed to have. The harder I pushed the better it responded. Of course the next day I was sore as hell and could hardly walk up the stairs as I had pushed myself so hard. I’d say my energy lasted a good 5 hours. This drink contains per bottle Caffeine 300 mg, Potassium Citrate, Dimethylaminoethanol, Dimethylpentylamine, Yohimbine, and 16666% Dv for B12. All this with no calories or carbs. Sweetened with Sucralose and Ace k. As you can see that is a unique line up. Grade B+
Web Presence: They updated the drink but not the site. The website at nutrivation.net has very little there. They have a cool theme with product info, mission statement, and contact info. I’ll have to give them a C- until they add more content.
Recap:
Ok so they changed the bottle and added Yohimbine. The website still needs some work though. All that aside I can highly recommend this drink. It provides the energy and focus you need to get things done. It’s a pretty smooth buzz for one so extreme and I really enjoyed the mood boost I got as well as the second wind of energy I got. This is a great drink for exercising or doing anything physical yet it also works well for doing any task that requires focus. It taste very good to top it all off and it gives you some unique ingredients you might not have tried. Can’t wait to try their other new flavor.
