Fitness4life - Are you talking about 5 hour energy that gives you heart palpatations? I'm really curious, cuz 5 hour energy is quite different than the energy drinks. The main ingredients are b50 (a/k/a vitamin b complex) and aminos. It only has about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. Are you caffeine sensitive? If so, then you'd probably need to avoid chocolate as well.
Most energy drinks contain large quantities of caffeine, and that is where the "racing heartbeat" stimulant feeling that you get comes from. Seems many people confuse 5 hour energy shots with energy drinks. They are really NOT the same thing. Different "active ingredients".
Really...you can get the same boost from a cup of coffee and large dose of vitamin b complex.
I just find the 5 hour energy shots convenient while travelling or just every blue moon (or pink one for that matter).
Oh and
Emme...your hubby's correct...it's totally GROSS! Good thing it's only 1 ounce!
