Mana Energy Potion: New and Improved?
I am still the same level 73 barbarian scholar as I spoke to you last time, but I no longer care.
I was bored last week so I went out for some boulder tossing, it’s a popular barbarian pastime.
Mana potions are commonly found under the boulders, but barbarians could mostly care less, we rely on brute force to get the job done, not magic.
Well, I decided to try a mana potion for the fun of it. The taste, the feeling, the joy – I had no idea.
I woke up in the middle of my den, with no idea where my axe is, and I’m not wearing my armor. The stone floor is cold on my bare skin, despite my high elemental resistance stats. Looking around, all I see are empty Mana potion bottles strewn about. I have no idea what happened, I must have blacked out.
I’m afraid to even consider what I did while I was tweaked on the Mana. There’s goats milk on the ceiling, my hair is in a bun, and my new main weapon seems to be a dried up… oh no. To you, my support group, I embarrassingly admit I am a barbarian with a Mana addiction.
Taste
Harcos reports that Mana Energy Potion has been given a taste make over. I have not tried the original taste formula, so I cannot say whether this potion is an improvement over the original Mana Potion. What I can say is that this is one of the best tasting energy shots I’ve ever had.
Berries no doubt provide the foundation for the taste and they do a good job. What rocks is the use of citric acid. This shot seems like it’s about ready assault you with a sour experience, but then decides it’s not worth it. It’s almost refreshing, and if your taste buds aren’t ready they will cramp up a little bit at first taste, you know the feeling.
Ingredients/Energy
From what I can tell, Mana Potion is very similar to Health Energy Potion in both of these departments. Ingredients wise, it gives up elderberry juice concentrate and ginseng for an enzyme blend. Obviously, that’s not going to be too noticeable. What was noticeable was the extra B12 content, naturally the Mana Potion energy boost lasts longer because of it. Yes, Mana Energy Potion tastes and works better than Health Energy Potion.
Verdict
If you’re interested in making an investment in Harcos and giving a product a try, put your money into Mana Potion. Heck, leave the Harcos investment bit out of it. If you are looking for an incredibly tasty shot that simply works, just try this shot!

Chan Chan: What kind of behemoth in a tiny package are you?. I am a 145 lb male and drinking half of one of these makes me sky-rocket through the roof. Personally I prefer buying an energy shot that looks cool over something that sounds like it will give me an internal explosion, but hey, that might be just me.
Chan Chan, that is indeed a unique circumstance you have. I’m a 190lb male, and consume about 5 energy drinks a week.
Richard K: My coworkers wonder the same thing all the time, but accuse me of being a human hummingbird instead of a monster. I buy Spike, Jolt, and Bawls by the case on a regular basis…so my typical work fare is a few cans of the good drinks, along with a bagful of candy. X-D
The last time a coworker twice my size decided that he wanted to match me drink for drink (and candy for candy) to see exactly what kind of intake I had going, the poor guy had to call it quits before lunch because he swore that his heart was about to burst out of his eye socket. (the insult to injury was that I fell asleep in a boring meeting that afternoon as he sat next to me twitching)
I luvs my caffeine. <3
Dang. That’s impressive. The most I ever tried was MD followed by a Punched Rockstar followed by a can of Cocaine. Over the course of an hour and a half. I have to say though, that was one of my most focused (albeit shiny) Risk strategies…
Chan Chan: That would somewhat explain it. Caffeine and the like often very quickly develop a high tolerance to the substance, so if you consume it very much, you’re likely to get a reduced effect.
I personally try to stagger my intake of caffeine for this very reason.
Mana potions make me a little jittery, but absolutely energetic. I still prefer a good, solid can of Monster because sometimes I like to be able to sit back and actually drink my drink instead of having it gone in one swallow – but mana’s great for a long night of, well, anything.
Man, if this stuff’s even potable now, it’s a vast improvement over the original formula. Drinking one of the first batch was like chewing a mouth full of powdered sugar. It felt like it coated the whole inside of your mouth with this over the top sweet that wouldn’t go away. Even with what felt like a sugar overload, it still had no kick. If the new formula is as good as you’re describing, I may have to give it another try.
i love the design of the potion bottles! you can take them anywhere and since they are small, they fit anywhere too =)
not to mention the caffeine in such a small bottle lol ^^
I really want to try this, i remember buying a bottle of the original formula in a Hot Topic a while back, and it was (1 strong as hell, and (2 tasted like a mixture of piss and Listerine.
where the hell do you find these… i cannea find them in the uk to save em life
I still adamantly believe that this is just an expensive shot of sour/sweet liquid in an overpriced bottle. I drank two, then fell asleep at my computer…and for a 130-lb female, that is lousy. I would have gotten more bang for my buck if I just bought 7 Ripits from Wal-Mart instead of wasting the $7 on the two bottles of this garbage.
