Extra Strength

It's a caffeine shot. 230mg in 2oz. The 'energy blend' is proprietary so you can't verify any ingredient dose. B-vitamins don't give energy unless you're deficient. Available at every gas station for $3 when caffeine pills cost $0.03. Marketing in a tiny bottle.

5.5/10
DECENT

Caffeine at 230mg is a clinical dose (115% of optimal), so it delivers on the energy promise. But the 1870mg Energy Blend is a proprietary mix of 6 ingredients where individual doses are unknown. B-vitamins don't provide energy unless deficient. You're paying for a caffeine shot with marketing extras.

What We Like

  • Convenient 2oz shot format.
  • Zero sugar, zero calories.
  • 230mg caffeine delivers reliable energy.
  • Available at every gas station in America.

Watch Out For

  • Proprietary 'energy blend' hides all individual doses.
  • B-vitamins don't give energy to non-deficient people.
  • 230mg caffeine is a lot in one quick shot (jolt + crash).
  • The entire 'energy blend' at 1870mg means each ingredient gets maybe 200-300mg.
  • $3+ per shot when caffeine pills cost $0.03.
