Comparing 5 Hour Energy Shots to The Competition

Author: Kristoffer Howes

Introduced to the energy supplement marketplace in 2004, 5 Hour Energy is considered the original two-ounce energy shot. Despite dozens of comparable products, 5 Hour Energy remains the most recognized and most popular energy shot; among consumers.

Many of the energy drinks found in today's marketplace, contain unwanted ingredients and additives. These have been known to include (up to):

• 12 tsp. of sugar
• 200 calories
• 16 oz. of fluid

Often, the combination of these ingredients can leave consumers "wired", and prone to an undesirable "sugar crash". In contrast, the 5 hour energy shot contains no sugar, as little as four calories; and as much caffeine as a cup of premium coffee. Best of all, 5 hour energy shots contain a blend of B vitamins, amino acids, essential nutrients and no herbal stimulants. This product can provide more energy; with less to drink and faster results.

Some energy drinks come in sizes that range from 8 to 32 ounces, and must be refrigerated to taste right. The 5 Hour Energy shot taste good at any temperature, and are sold in a convenient 2 oz bottle; for easy storage and transport. Furthermore, the small container can be resealed for later consumption; if required. It is however, strongly recommended that consumers discard any remainder; within seventy-two hours of opening. Refrigeration is still not required.

It is important to note that 5 Hour Energy does contain caffeine, and as such, consumers should limit their intake; to avoid nervousness, sleeplessness and occasional rapid heartbeat. The developers of this energy product, have advised participants to limit their consumption, to two bottles of 5 Hour Energy shots a day; consumed several hours apart. As well, participants may experience a warm feeling, with related redness of the skin redness. This is known as a Niacin Flush, and is a result of increased blood flow near the skin; caused by Niacin (Vitamin B3). This effect should last only a few minutes.
