Wired X 3000 Energy Drink Review
Wired X somehow had the foresight to label their cans as an Energy “Supplement” instead of an Energy “Drink”.
Why is this good? Well, they set themselves up as a drink that can be easily exported to countries with a caffeine content in drinks restriction.
They didn’t have to adjust can size, change formulation, or do a can reprint. Wired X just had to find a distributor and load the boat. A few weeks later a new energy “drink” has landed on New Zealand and Australia’s shores.
Supplements don’t have the same guidelines as drinks do and whoever discovered this loophole should get a round of applause from all the energy fiends down under as it has opened up a whole new world of choice here. Let’s just see if it lasts as there is already a push in Australia to have these “suplements” banned.
Since this is the same Wired X 3000 found in the States, this review is for all you Yanks as well.
Taste
Mango, passion fruit is what Wired X 3000 promised and that’s the taste they delivered. This drink has a similar flavor to Rockstar juiced, but it doesn’t have real juice in it and has a lighter, more refreshing taste with no sucralose to be found anywhere! Good on you, Wired!
Ingredients
3000mg of taurine is this drink’s big boast as its title proclaims, along with 188mg of caffeine which is the most potent energy “drink” down under, at least of the ones we’ve found. There are rumors that the NOS that’s here has more but we have yet to get our hands on any. Wired offers some B vitamins as well but at very low concentrations.
Effect
I sampled Wired X 3000 as a late morning pick me up. Did it push me out of my Monday morning slump? Well, it did wake me up, but I feel a little jittery and still a little tired just under the surface. We’ll see how the gym goes this arvo. Find out how many Wired X 3000’s it would take to kill you in our new Death by Caffeine: Australia & New Zealand.
Verdict
Overall, this drink was a nice and refreshing find. I will definitly get Wired X 3000 again because of the flavor alone. Perhaps a bigger dose of B12 would make this drink just right.

Well, that’s what they count on, right? Ignorance…3000 looks impressive so people who don’t know any better will take the bait.
I’d be interested to try it for the flavor! I’ve never seen it in Minnesota, and if it’s the same formulation here as over yonder…well, I love Rockstar Juiced orange so I can imagine liking this one. Good review!
I don’t know how they expect the number game to work for an ingredient that 98% of consumers don’t understand
