Quite Possibly the Most Powerful Energy Drink Ever

Seriously, the drink may mean the end of this blog. In the “before time,” conversations generally went a little something like this:

So, what’s a good energy drink in terms of strength?
Well there’s a lot to choose from, based on caffeine content, taurine, ginseng, green tea extracts…
Well… what if I’m just interested in caffeine content?
Well just go to The Caffeine Database and look around!

The point, probably lost, is that there’s a lot of drinks, in varying sizes and caffeine contents, that also contain a lot of other things.

So then this new thing came out. It’s called VPX Redline Fat Burner. Amazon is lacking a little information, so here’s a little more:

Check out this freaky scientific VPX breakthrough: RED LINEĀ®: is the only matrix ever developed to shred fat through the shivering response in the body. By shivering the body burns huge amounts of stored bodyfat for energy in an effort to keep the body warm. That’s not all! In addition to shivering, you’ll also be sweating up a thermogenic storm. The combined mechanisms of these two processes results in unparalleled fat loss!

What fun. Now, it’s pretty obvious looking at the ingredients that there’s caffeine. But get this: all of the aforementioned goodness, and the serving size is FOUR ml. About one TENTH of an ounce. The whole bottle has 240 ml, or 60 servings. Basically, a bottle of this, less than the size of a normal can of coke, WILL kill you. This is nothing to be playing around with.

I have friends. Not just normal friends, mind you. The kind of friends that voluntarily live on the streets. The kind of friends who, when drinking, race to forgetting. The kind of friends who take caffeine pills, ephedrine pills, and asprin.. all at once. One, in particular, drinks and consumes over a gram of caffeine daily, to stave off the headaches. So you know this is a serious review:

oh yeah, it’s definately 90% caffeine. the aftertaste is unmistakeable. the best part is that since i didn’t have my normal “dose” this morning, i probably won’t actually feel sh*t.

[10 minutes later]

the caffeine kicked in a lot faster than i expected. though in retrospect, it normally does when it’s in syrup form and tastes like ass.

feel oddly cold too. took me a minute to realize that while i still was warm, it was that ’shiver’ reflex kicking in. it’s a lot like when
you get a chill at the back of your neck, but somewhat continuous.

So what’s in this magical bottle of awesome? Caffeine, Green Tea, Yerba Mate, 5-HTP (5 hydroxy-1-tryptophan), cAMP, Yohimbe, Evodiamine, and Vinpocetine. And a few other things.

I know, I know, so here’s some more info:

cAMP is cyclic adenosine monophosphate. It supposedly “sparks many intercellular processes.” Whatever that means. Increased concentrations supposedly raise thyroid horomone levels, and help fat burning (would help explain why it’s in a fat-burning supplement).

Yohimbe is a bark extract from a tree in Africa. It’s considered a natural aphrodisiac, and sold here to treat imotency, dialate pupils, and stimulate fat loss. It can also mess with your blood pressure, so watch out.

Evodiamine is derived from some Chinese fruit called Evodia Rutaecarpa. Supposedly burns fat.

Vinpocetine is an alkaloid derived from some periwinkle plant. It is used in Europe, Japan, and Mexico to treat crebrovascular and cognitive disorders. Some people claims it elevates metabolism, but with no proof.

And the interesting one in the group: 5-HTP. I made sure to spell it out, so the smart ones in the group have already figured out the key: Tryptophan. It’s the same stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy, and there’s scientific evidence of it. The 5-HTP compound is sometimes used to treat mild depression since, somehow, it can increase serotonin levels. It can also affect appetite, which may be part of why they put it in here. The other part? When you’re jacking up a drink with this much caffeine, you’re going to get jitters and “scatterbrain.” This may actually cut the disconnected thoughts out and allow you to think normally, but still give you the energy effects of caffeine. Awesome.

Apparently you can buy this stuff at places like Super Supplements, GNC, and even some 7-11s. The concentrate isn’t something you should take a guzzle of. Or even a large sip. If you search on the internet, you can see some people who took the recommended dose, and started blacking out towards the end of a workout. Blacking out. 4 mililiters. Damn. There’s also a ready-to-drink version (I would bet that’s the one at 7-11), and half a bottle is all that’s recommended. Pay attention to it. People are comparing the 1/2 bottle to a full hit of ephedra. Unless you’ve done that before and know the effect it has on your body, don’t go doing anything macho with this one. Go do that with redbull.

Just for poignant measure, look at this review:

I recently purchased the liquid form of redline at a local 7 Eleven store.

It was the first time I have ever drank an energy drink that had such an affect. With in a few minutes , I started to sweat and shake. Being familiar with the effects of narcotics, I must say the feeling felt a lot like cocaine feels.

The most disturbing trait is that my penis shriveled up like I just got out of the icy cold ocean. I can’t help but think that this product will be taken off the market. The effects are too strong for some minors and may not be safe for people on certain medication which are yet to be known.

And this one:

I tried Redline today while heading to work. I am a huge fan of RedBull & Diet Rockstar. I am 33 years old & in excellent condition.

Having not read the warning label I drank the whole bottle within 5 minutes. Within 10 minutes I was blacking out behind the wheel & shaking uncontrollably. I pulled over at a gas station — I was having difficulty in swallowing and could not stand, breathe or see straight.

I could not even walk for the convulsions. A bystander called the paramedics. Needless to say - my blood pressure was sky high & I thought I was on my way out.

I feel this drink is extremely dangerous & should not be on the market. There needs to be a very visible warning label not to drink the whole bottle for beginners. It has been 5 hours now & I still do not feel normal.

This drink could seriously kill someone if not informed.
I am sorry but I will never drink this again nor recommend it to fellow peers.

I’m a cop and work graveyards. I drink two redlines a night and do jiu jitsu before work. I’ve had no problems, it has a little bit more kick than a red bull but that’s all.

frum behind February 7th, 2007 8:22 am

your probably thinking Redline RTD not Redline VPX, 2 cans of VPX would probbably kill u in a matter of minutes

lil larry damit February 7th, 2007 9:54 am

i resintly purchased one of these redline drinks at a local 7-11 and i was worried about the effects it had on me i had the shakes as if i was a drug addict having withdraws and thats not to mention all the tricks it had my mind playing on me, the only thing i could think of is you should only use it when working out wich i wasn’t i was going to work, mybe you get the shakes because you need to be doing some type on movement

Mike at ThinkBlog.org February 17th, 2007 11:21 pm

As an employee at a local Vitamin Shoppe, I can vouch for this stuff. It’s the store favorite and most highly-recommended fat-burner/energy-booster we carry.

The RTDs don’t play, but they’re not quite as strong as the pills. I’m a healthy 200# at over six and a half feet tall, and after a cycle of Redline capsules at the recommended dose (3 caps 2X daily), I was starting to tire early and build a tolerance to it. If you notice, they say on the bottle not to take it if you’re more than 15# overweight–you can, of course, and people do, but this is their legal disclaimer because it has the potential to dangerously elevate your blood pressure. An adult male with a background in competitive sprinting, cross-country running, and weight lifting, this stuff still makes my heart literally ache if I exceed the recommended dose.

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the chemical precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is responsible for elevated mood, decreased appetite, and “warm” emotional feelings. It is absolutely novel to include this in a fat burner, and usually you couldn’t get away with it because it would make the user feel tired; but as it is, in combination with the caffeine and yohimbe, it just balances. (Yohimbe, also listed in some supplements by its chemical form as “yohimbine HCl,” has been indicated to shunt blood to the pelvic region and also clinically shown to *induce anxiety* in higher doses–the latter effect it shares with caffeine.)

You can purchase 5-HTP from a local health/supplement store; look for “griffonia simplifica seed extract” on the label. This is not to be confused with L-Tryptophan, the amino acid of which 5-HTP is a metabolite, which can help induce sleep (but is not indicated for anxiety/depression).

As far as amphetamine buzz, it’s actually not the strongest stuff out on the market now as far as the RTDs go (c.f. “Hollow Point: Adrenaline Activator”), but for those of you who are not caffeine sensitive and don’t have blood pressure contraindications, you will probably notice that the comedown from Redline is much gentler than most supplements, which tend to drop the user like a rock after four to six hours. One first-timer reported that she was alarmingly awake for an eight-hour road-trip only to fall asleep like a baby when she got home, but never had a “crash”–this is typical.

cAMP is synthesized by your body from ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the rawest form of energy/fuel your body ever has) in order to transmit signals from hormones like adrenaline and so forth through cell membranes. It also turns glycogen into glucose–the sugars that your muscles can use immediately for energy. This is probably the chemical responsible for the shivering response.

Vinpocetine increases cerebral blood flow and is indicated for memory and cognitive impairments (and incidentally in higher doses can help with tinnitus, or ringing-in-the-ears). This, in combination with the caffeine, is probably the chemical responsible for the arcs of euphoria that start at the base of your spinal column just before you start shivering–and also why many people compare it to the effects of ephedrine HCl.

[Disclaimer: I'm not paid by the Vitamin Shoppe to say any of the above, and my opinions are wholly my own and do not necessarily reflect the corporate policy, &c., &c.]

Hope that helps! Enjoy it–in moderation. ;)

In my city they now only sell red lines to ppl over the age of 18. If that is the case then duh they are dangerous.One of my friends drank more than 3 in one day and ended up in the emergency room.

Andrew March 1st, 2007 1:54 pm

I drank a whole bottle of this stuff and i didnt feel anything at all.

erich March 1st, 2007 3:36 pm

i just purchased and drank a redline RTD from a GNC and chugged the entire bottle in less then 10 seconds… i did not feel any effects and its been an hour since i drank it… i did not shake or start sweating… but maybe its because i normally drink 3 redbulls a day for the last month… if this is why i didnt feel the effects someone let me know because i heard this stuff is supposed to be crazy

Alana March 3rd, 2007 4:15 pm

I drank a whole 8oz. bottle of Redline for the first time a while back, and I didn’t really feel much. If anything, I might have been a little more energetic. That’s about it.

Smart Energy Drinks March 7th, 2007 12:46 pm

Redline is one of the most biochemically active and ambitious products on the market. It falls into the category of “smart” energy drinks, with ingredients that are meant to enhance the pleasurable and productive experience of caffeine. Two of the central ingredients towards this end are 5-HTP and L-Tyrosine.

The 5-HTP is the direct precursor to Serotonin (the brain’s feel-good/chill neurotransmitter), meaning that when the body wants to make more Serotonin, it uses 5-HTP as the central building block. It is really good stuff (you can get 5-HTP in supplement form at most health food store or GNC). Tryptophan, in turn, is the central precursor to 5-HTP. Unfortunately, with all of the “fat burning” ingredients and the relatively sky high amount of caffeine per oz, I don’t feel the positive effects of the 5-HTP when I drink it. It gets lost in the intensity of the other reactions - too bad.

The L-Tyrosine, in contrast, is a precursor to Dopamine, Adrenaline, and Nor-Adrenaline (the brain’s euphoric and “energy” neurotransmitters). Its inclusion can also positively enhance the experience of caffeine. And again, its effect gets lost in the experience of the other ingredients.

Although I have had over 100 energy drinks and love them, I stopped drinking redline after about 2 weeks because it was simply not a pleasant experience for me and distracted me from focusing on my life.

I just tried a Redline for the first time. CRAZY STUFF!!! It doesn’t taste all that great..and I was definately feeling ill.. had to eat some toast to soak it up a little. Great energy, I liked that it didn’t make me hungry, but too much exertion of any kind and I was feeling ill again. I had to eat something!! AND!! The thirst!!! OMG! I think I drank a river. I do believe there will be some deaths and lawsuits in the future of Redline!!!

KW March 26th, 2007 4:41 pm

I drank a bottle and a half on new years eve and it made me anxious, I felt like my skin was crawling- went on for 2 days. So then one week ago I decide to just have 1/3 the bottle - figured I would be ok. NOPE - my stomach felt like it was twisting and I couldn’t eat for the rest of the weekend and am still feeling ill (Monday, I drank it on Friday). Some people can drink it up fine, others it totally messes up. I guess it depends on your make-up. I thought I would be ok because I can usually handle ephedra products with absolutely no problems.

Search Engine Pro March 28th, 2007 5:44 pm

I’m sipping a bottle of Redline VPX because I’ll be up late tonight working. It will take me 4+ hours to consume the whole bottle.

I tried my first bottle a few weeks ago. I’ve read about it over the last several months due to the advertising in Vitamin Shoppe’s magazine.

I’m just over 40 and have had my share of caffine products over the years. This is by far the most potent I’ve ever experienced. The first time I tried it I drank about 1/4 of the bottle and I was jumping out of my skin. I can’t imagine someone pounding down a can or two a short amount of time.
(having had asthma as a child I know what Epinephrine type products make your body do)

Here’s the sad part and reality about so called “health food stores”. I talked on several occassions with the folks at my local Vitamin Shoppe. They all agree this stuff is dangerous and not good for long term use, but they admit it sells out every day and is their most popular energy drink.

Health food chains like Vitamin Shoppe and GNC are interested in profits first and health second. Cod Liver Oil never killed anyone that I’m aware of, but this stuff can kill someone. So at some point, Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, and other resellers of this product will be able to share in the responsibility of some dope’s death because he / she did not read the silly label.

I’m actually wondering how this product ever made it onto the market.

I agree with one of the previous posts that their will be some Redline energy drink deaths and law suits coming in the future.

anonymous March 29th, 2007 3:28 pm

drank 4 cans of it in the matter of 2 hours and i was full with energy i even mixed it with other stuff… redline is the best drink that has came out… i find it no danger my heartrate goes up but i love the feeling [:

Tall White Male March 29th, 2007 7:12 pm

I agree and disagree with the blogs that have been written.I will get straight to the point.I like Redline and I consume only 1 a day,if people are so ignorant not to read warning labels then like Kid Rock says “people get what they deserve”..I do have one ?..Is it safe for a 33 yr old male at 6′4″ 210 lbs in great shape to consume this with my prescribed medication Adderall daily.I take approx. 30 mg 3x daily and drink a redline throughout the day ranging from 7:00 A.M. -4:00 P.M.I w/out 5 times a week 45min each session,is it safe for me if I have no known adverse health problems..
Thanks..

Kris
P>S> Funny how the guy that had be taken to the hospital after like an idiot slammed a full 80z in less than 10 min felt so disorientated even after 5 hrs from the time of consumption could sit down and write a 10 min. cursing the co. that has possibly manufactured the “True Energy Drink”..Some people will do or write anything due to self absorption.lolo..

syn April 3rd, 2007 2:29 am

I drank a bottle of Redline RTD yesterday for the first time and I was happy with it. I drank 4oz first, then decided to just finish it off. I then drove to the gym and the way I could desrcibe the feeling of redline after about a half hour was that everything went from normal to high definition. I’ve never taken drugs, so I can’t compare it to that or anything, but I got throguh my workout with alot more intensity and focus. I was then able to stay alert the rest of the day with no crazy feelings or anything. I took the drink at about 2:00PM and had no problems going to sleep at 11:30PM even though I was not really tired. Redline worked out well for me and gave me energy when I needed it and let me off slowly. I think problems arise when people don’t follow the labels and take something when they are physically healthy, of age, or combine it with other stuff. People also tend to overdose on things with the “more is better” mentality, and this gives things a basd reputation when it obviously works well.

Lindsay April 7th, 2007 3:53 am

i just drank this for the first time today. i had never even heard of it, someone just gave it to me and told me it was an energy drink. i usually drink energy drinks and coffee everyday. he told me to only drink a half can, so i did. but after only an hour or 2 it felt just a little stronger then a normal energy drink so i drank the rest of the can for about an hour or two. that was 13 hours ago! and my heart is still racing. i do only weigh about 125, and im about 5′ 4″ and 20 years old. this stuff reminds me of doing strong uppers (as in drugs.) it also has given me some other side affects, i had some dizziness, almost blacked out a few times, was a lot more talkative then normal, was more thirsty then normal, and it hurt my stomch unless i had food in it. i didnt read the can until afterwards, and then decided to look it up online and what do you know, many people have had realy bad experiences with it! basically im proof right now that it tweaks you out and is way too strong to just sell in stores or even online! i think it should be taken off the market!

Veronica April 8th, 2007 9:14 am

I’m a huge redbull fan and usually drink one everyday. I had a dinner to attend last night right after I got off of work. I had a long day and was exhausted. I wanted something a little stronger than a redbull so I went over to GNC to purchase what I had heard was a powerful energy drink that would really energize me. I bought it and drank the entire bottle (about the same size of a redbull) within 10 minutes. 15 minutes went by and all of a sudden I was so flushed it was insane. I felt so sick that I threw up immediatley after. I was shiverring uncontrolably and was cold/hot all at the same time. I will never have one again, and would deffinatley not recommend it to anyone who’s not use to drinking liquid cocaine.

Becca April 13th, 2007 9:14 pm

I would agree that the effect Redline had on me was/is similar to the effects of coke. I drank a whole can a couple weeks ago and felt like i was on drugs. It makes me wonder why Redline can be on the shelves but not illegal drugs. Oh well, for now, i’m good to go with this ‘legal’ drug.

N8 April 14th, 2007 11:48 pm

i just drank one of the redlines a few hours ago and i think this is the best drink in the world i fill like i could be awake for days.

Pat April 15th, 2007 2:45 am

Redline is some serious shit. People trying this should read the warning lable and definitly eat before drinking it. I made the mistake of not following the warning lable and you really do shiver and sweat a lot.

But it also made me very hungry. It was something like the ultimate high. I drank the a can within an hour and that was around 7 PM and I’m still going strong and it’s now a quater to 6 AM.

I recomend this to anyone that as to do a lot of studying or has to write a term paper.

Pamela April 23rd, 2007 2:10 pm

I have heard many negative things about this drink. I have been drinking one a day for quite awhile and have had no negative side effects. There is a warning on the bottle to NOT drink more than 1 in 24 hours. If you follow the warning and don’t drink it on a empty stomach, you will be fine.

adam April 26th, 2007 2:08 pm

I go to raves.

used to drop pills

now just slam 2 rtds and 2 5thps

works for me

Gab April 26th, 2007 3:25 pm

I like it. No, I’m not a junkie of any kind. I’m rather small (5′2″) with a few (5) extra pounds. I’ve been drinking only half a can for the last 4 days and have noticed I feel fine. I have a light breakfast around 9 and drink it around 10 am. No drop at all; I get tired/sleepy around 10 pm (whereas before it was 9pm) and actually have had less trouble getting up (6am wake up). It does curb my appetite, but only to the point of eating less, so I do get hungry but feel satisfied very quickly (like an apple or a handful of almonds).

The only thing I’ve ever taken before has been ephedra. Should I cycle Redline RTD like 3-on 2-off or something?

Adam April 29th, 2007 2:17 pm

My friend and I drank this stuff on one of our first times out together… Liquid Crack!
We went rollerskating, where I learned to skate in seven minutes. I’m not very coordinated, but my muscles were moving so fast that I could correct myself easily before I fell.
We couldn’t stop running, but then our hearts would be racing so fast that we’d just collapse for a few minutes, then get up and start running again. We were laughing so hard and couldn’t form coherent sentences. We were doing this for about eight hours, but our stomaches really started to hurt, so we got some food, but we didn’t eat much of it; just a couple of bites and we were fine again.
When it started to wear off, we drove up to the lookout and just talked and talked at about a mile a minute until 4am.
She’s my best friend in the world now, and I owe it partially to RedLine.
Thanks, RedLine!
P.S. Driving on this stuff was f-ing stupid. Don’t do it.

Alison April 29th, 2007 10:14 pm

I DRANK NOT EVEN HALF OF A CAN OF REDLINE SATURDAY AND I THREW UP ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT DRINK THIS STUFF ESP THE GREEN APPLE FLAVOR!!!!!!!!

[...] Red Line energy drink!!!!! Quite Possibly the Most Powerful Energy Drink Ever read the comments by people at bottom the actual story kind of blows it out of [...]

Kayla May 6th, 2007 12:03 pm

I purchased a redline last night for the second time… i barely drank any and i was up all night and i threw up… i read the warning label..that’s why i chose to drink it after i ate. i still feel sick… :P

Russ May 7th, 2007 2:08 pm

While I haven’t tried very many energy drinks on the market I can say that I doubt anything, ANYTHING, compares to a serving or two of Ultimate Orange, workout booster. I think the caffeine alone is 300mg per scoop, and you can (if you know your body!) take 2 scoops before a workout. I am about to try a Hollow Point so maybe that will be stronger but I doubt it. Hey just look at the label on the Orange; “New legal formula!” - yeah it’s serious.

Agreed that people will no doubt hurt themselves with the new stronger energy drinks, but hey, what are you going to do? They have warning labels for a reason, companies can’t be held responsible for making people pay attention to what they ingest.

Erica May 9th, 2007 5:10 pm

total let down. don’t believe all the hype. drank this before a workout, wasnt really feeling chills or significantly more energized had i drank a redbull or spike shooter instead.

go_grrl May 11th, 2007 6:54 pm

Perhaps VPX Redline has different effects on different peoples’ metabolisms, BUT, what it did to mine was like a combo platter from hell…imagine the worst speed run you could imagine, mixed with the worst hypoglycemic shock episode possible.

Yes, I was one of those who downed most of the entire can without reading the warning labels, but I figured “What the heck, it’s just another energy drink from 7-11, right?”…then about fifteen minutes later I started shaking, having heart palpitations, rapidly-racing thoughts, dizziness, shivering, clenched jaw, sweating, and mild convulsions. Scared the living sh@t outta me. My husband suggested I read the label of the energy drink can, and, voila! Mystery solved.
The hellish effects went on four about four hours. At one point I thought we were going to have to go to the emergency room. Then finally it subsided.
NOT something I will ever put myself through again.
You proponents of VPX Redline can keep your freaky weight-loss-in-a-can stuff. I’ll lose weight the old fashioned way, thanx.

Matt May 16th, 2007 5:21 pm

This crap is terrible. It gave me the best high I’ve ever got from a drink, and then I experienced a crash similar to a night of heavy drug abuse.

Monica May 17th, 2007 9:31 am

I drink redline. I only drink half a bottle a day and I make sure not to go pass that because I know that side affects can be dangerous. So far Im perfectly fine and yes it really does work.

Blackadder May 20th, 2007 12:16 am

Ok,
Folks here I am 4 hours after drinking this liquid death. I don’t mean to sound “over the top here” but the only reason I am not in the hospital right now is because I happened to have some trial clonidine tablets from my Pdoc in my house (lowers blood pressure). I had it for treating possible ADD but thankfully I remembered I had it or right now I wouldn’t be able to type this.
If you have drank this stuff and had no effect. Great. Good on ya. You are a freak of nature, wow I am impressed. Go get a mo hawk you are sooooo punk rawk. Either that or I think or you work for the company. Don’t mean to be rude but I am one …. (removing vulgarity from my vocabulary, give me a second) pissed off person right now.
Earlier I had been slightly nodding off due to my work schedule and went to the gas station by my house to get a Starbucks double shot, sometimes they do the trick but coffee and cream really does number on my stomach so I decided to go with a red bull instead. Heading over t the energy drink portion of the cooler I saw several drinks as usual, Monster, Rockstar and in between them 3 flavors of Redline. I saw one that was green apple flavored and being a cider drinker I grabbed it and 4 red bulls. Figured I would give it whirl see if it was any good. Got in the car and being so sleepy I drank the whole can in about 3 minutes. Went home and started my evening….. about 20 minutes later I started to feel extremely anxious and almost hallucinatory. Not the good kind either, like a bad trip. There was a party down the street and I could hear every conversation in the group like they were in my yard. I began to sweat all over, i was freezing cold inside and my face was beet red. My teeth were chattering and eyes watering and I began to panic. Then I read the bottle.
Ok folks, now here is where you are going to say well you should have done that in the first place. Think about that one. I have drank red bull and other before, I didn’t expect to be drinking some thing that could kill me out of the cooler at the gas station unless it was the actual gasoline at the pump mistakenly placed in in a can for my drinking pleasure. SO back of on the “should have read the label”. You can individually address us all as idiots if you like, but here first I would like for you to go have drink of this great new energy drink I found today!
So if you are going to even start with that crap or quote kid rock give it a rest and buy find a better role model.
This is absolute BS in can. This ruined my evening and almost sent me to the hospital. I had done a lot of of drugs over the years for kicks and I did them for pleasure, this stuff made me think I was going to effing die.
This stuff should NOT be in a gas station right next to other soft drinks. If you enjoy this stuff great. But do me a favor and quit trying to convince everyone that this stuff is harmless. It isn’t. What happened to me tonight and others on this forum isn’t fake, and its pretty GD serious. It could KILL you or at least make your day a living hell. It is a crap shoot evidently as to how you may handle this stuff, and personally I would like to shoot the the person who made this crap.
It needs a better warning label and does not need to be in an energy drink section right next to “normal energy drinks”.
This stuff is a joke. Just trying to be the most powerful drink on the market. I guess they are looking for a pretty powerful lawsuit. This stuff isn’t good for anyone.
Folks, before I took the clonodine my eyes were aching from the ocular blood pressure I was blacking out…going blind. Give me a break.
I took a Valium to calm down and this crap ate it like a gnat in room full of toads.
Drink this stuff at your own risk. You could find a great way to wake up, or completely ruin your day.
Thanks Redline, you can go to hell.
Sorry but I am one angry SOB right now and I am sure some of it is the residual effect creating some sort of roid rage mentality.
this stuff had me so sick and violently ill that even my cats were crying worried about me, my girlfriend finally found me in the bedroom in fetal position with my glasses askew with a cold dead pale look on my face, eyes watering and body shaking.
If it were not for the clonodine kicking in shortly after that I would be in the ER right now.
Enjoyed this crap.
I am not the kind of person to say you can’t have it, or take it off the market. But this company knows damn well what they are making and doing. I think its effing irresponsible beyond words. I am going down to the store with the can tomorrow to tell them what they sold me, these people are good family that own the place. I think they should know the risk they are taking selling it. Once again, not telling them not to sell it, just warn people or move move it somewhere else, maybe by the gas pump or in the garbage.

So in review. I give this drink a bad review. You think?

I am going to go try to salvage the rest of my evening now a since I am on a deadline and should have been working all night. Not curled up having a minor panic attack with heart arrhythmia.
Stay away from this crap.

I must be made up strangely! because yesterday I actually dunked the entire bottle in one shot(this only 2 hours after taking an ephedra fat burner) and I had ABSOLUTELY no effect WHATSOEVER. No one at the gym could believe this. I was kind of disappointed, but then again, caffeine never really affected me. Now I read that it could cause heart attacks and elevated BP! Wow! What’s wrong with me??!!!
