Jason's Review:


When I received Gamma Labs Pre-Training Formula mix in the mail, I was happy for two reasons, it didn't take up a cubic foot of storage, like 12 cans of soda, and I didn't pay a fortune in shipping charges to transport water. While mixes are not uncommon in the bodybuilding arena, they're only beginning to take hold in the energy drink market. I'm a huge proponent of concentrates, mixes and bulk packaging. How ridiculous is it to pay to ship water, and do I really need a different 2oz. bottle for my energy shot every day? My only complaint with Gamma Labs is that this big jug of a container only comes with 8oz of powder. I know, all the workout enhancement products come in super-mega-oversized containers, so I digress. After all, I'd rather pay to ship air than 192fl.oz. of carbonated water.

I checked out the Gamma Labs website and their Youtube channel, both were filled with people more fit and attractive than me. Immediately, all my happiness from receiving this mix in the mail was buried under years of negative self-image and mounds of my own fat rolls. My roommates last five peanut butter cookies and pirated chinese-subtitled episodes of Mike and Molly were my only solace.

Putting my self-loathing aside, I mixed up a batch of Gamma Labs Tropical Punch. Kiana Phi, who's life work is apparently making everyone else feel worse about themselves by way of her near-perfect physique, describes the Tropical Fruit as having a "nice tangy flavor". I'd argue that she left out "gritty", I take that back, I wouldn't argue anything with her. Not only could she hurt me physically, she seems pretty nice...which almost makes feel bad that I'm so envious of her stupid face.

I watched another video with Bobby Lashley, hoping to get some clarity on how Gamma Labs works, what the heck "pumps" are, or how to get in touch with Kiana Phi. Unfortunately, the only thing it cleared up for me is why I wear a t-shirt on the beach, and maybe why guys like Bobby Lashley know how to get in touch with ladies like Kiana Phi, meanwhile the last time I got a girl's number it was about letting out the waist on pants I got too fat for.

Referencing the giantic tub (which does allow for readable text, unlike 2oz. Energy shots), I found that Gamma Labs offers a blend of l-arginine, l-citruline and a blend of 3 creatines so you can train longer, improve endurance, focus, and protein synthesis. Additionally, it contains anti-oxidants that lower muscle breakdown. The also say it increases recovery time, but to me, increasing sounds like that makes recovery times longer, and I imagine that's the antithesis of the desired effect. All these things are to happen, as the prophecy on the tub has foretold, if you consume it 30 minutes before your workout.

I'm going to be frank, you can continue to be judgmental and mean-spirited, I like Gamma Labs Pre-Training Formula. I feel a pronounced energy boost, but it's not raw and uncontrolled like VPX, and it doesn't make me want to cut my skin off with gate shears like Tweak Extreme. I'd compare it most to Speed Stack Pumped. For me, a really apparent increase in positive outlook was the most beneficial effect. I take St. John's Wort, and this product seems to enhance that gravitation toward positivity. Often, I have the physical capacity to tackle a job, I simply lack the drive, or I focus more on the obstacles than the goal.

The tub contains enough mix for 180fl. oz., either 30 6oz. Servings (made with 1 scoop of mix), 15 12oz. Servings (2 scoops), or some mathematical function that looks like 6x = y, where x is the number of scoops and y is the water in fl. oz., then dividing 180 by y to determine the number of servings per container. No matter how you do the math, it's 18 cent per fl. oz. in the recommended solution at $32 per mix barrel.

I like that mixes encourage disrupting the natural archaic flow of products from manufacturer to bottler, to distributor, to store, to you. Powders weigh nothing, and can be sold directly from the manufacturer, with nominal shipping charges. Finally, after a scant 15 or 20 years, embracing direct internet sales and offering a big "up yours" to traditional sales channels, instead of begging for scraps from the distributor/retailer's table. I mean, would you rather buy this for $36 from their website, or pay $45 for it at GNC? What you'd rather pay is $25, which is probably what you could get it for, if there weren't some (somehow legal) price colluding for Gamma Labs not to underprice GNC. Thankfully, you can cut a little further into the BS by buying it for $32 at bodybuilding.com.

Unfortunately, I know companies holding firmly to the retail chains store teats, moving tons of units for the same gross profit they could get selling directly at 30% the volume, with 20% of the skilled labor and a smaller portion still of the hassle. I'm not sure when doing more work and getting a smaller piece of the pie became desirable, strictly to have a higher gross sales number. All that to say, Gamma Labs Pre-Training Formula Tropical Punch is an awesome product, albeit chalky, that's packaged, marketed and distributed like another cow in the herd. Why? Because you won't buy it unless GNC does the service of putting it on the shelf of their overpriced retail space, and for $20 more than you should be paying for it, you can leave with the warmth of knowing a guy making some low-double-digit-percentage over minimum wage assured you it will "Give you good focus, stamina and an intense pump", along with some other jargon you nodded and pretended to understand.

Obviously, this mostly empty tub won't find it's way into C-stores, grocery stores, hardware stores or "adult news" stores. The target market of this product knows where to find it, along with all the other big tubs of things at GNC.

Out of the gate, when you mix this with cold water, it's pretty chalky. After about 5 minutes, a lot of powder will settle to the bottom. If I stir it up again, it's less chalky. It looks like most people "in-the-know", perhaps including Kiana Phi, who Jason has a high school crush on, are using the blenderbottles, which have the patented blenderball in them. You may have better results with this contraption.

Other than the mild chalkiness, the taste is pretty good. I enjoy it enough to hardly even care about the chalky texture, particularly if I keep stirring it. If you don't keep stirring it, you're greeted with a pretty sandy bottom of mix when you reach the last couple of oz.

I felt awake, alert, focused and energized. I experienced everything the product claims, in reasonable proportions. Now, I'm no supplement expert, but I'd recommend this product to anyone not pregnant, or nursing, who is over the age of 18, who has consulted a physician, and is looking for SERIOUS PUMPS!.

Jason's Review:


Cintron sent us heaps of products. They make shots in several flavors, along with 8.4 and 16oz. offerings of multiple flavors. We decided to review the Tropical Azul sugar free first, as we think it's one of the most appealing all-around. Cintron's branding falls somewhere between Absolute Citron and Corona. I have to guess they are hoping you make some mental connection and use this drink as a mixer.

The taste is pleasantly tart and fruity, and it's not so inundated with sucralose as to leave you with a film coating on your teeth, which we've experienced with other sucralose drinks. Cintron is relatively high in sodium, 9% of the USRDA per serving, so like a margarita, it's not incredibly thirst quenching.

Red Bull is the industry leader, I can only guess because consumers are largely uninformed. As the industry leader, however ill-deserving they are of that title, they should make a fine point of comparison for Cintron. I believe Red Bull Sugar Free has a pronounced chemical aftertaste, something akin to Aqua Net, most likely from the aspartame. I don't experience this perm parlor aerosol taint with Cintron's offering. For those imaginary people who were "blowing up Monster's inbox for years" to get them to offer a 0 calorie alternative to their 10 calorie lo-carb drink, Cintron should be the clear choice over Red Bull Sugar Free. Functionally, it contains all the major energizing components, caffeine, taurine, and b-vitamins. Cintron does contain about 10% more caffeine per serving. To conclude the explanation of Cintron as superior, in every way to Red Bull Sugar Free, Cintron's MSRP is $1.79, 20-40 cent less than the average Red Bull Sugar Free retail price.

Ok, firstly, there's a little thing over the "o" at the end of Cintron, but RSS dislikes when I give it things that are plain text, and I'm not in the business of questioning RSS. Additionally, the video didn't have room for "Sugar Free", and Jason argued that we probably wouldn't ever get around to reviewing the non-sugar free one anyway.

With that said, other than getting this product in the mail, I've never heard of it. As Jason half-heatedly described, the name really is an amalgamation of several industry-leading alcoholic beverage company names, clearly represented in the Corona font.

The taste is fruity, but I find my enjoyment declines corresponding to any decrease in carbonation. I'm not a sophisticated drinker, and I recommend not mixing alcohol with energy drinks. That being said, my best guess, taking all the branding, etc. into account, would be that they either want you mixing this with tequila. This somewhat makes sense, as I think it tastes remotely like Full Throttle Blue Demon.

I find Cintron Liquid Energy Tropical Azul Sugar Free to be plenty energizing. It's not breaking new ground, but it keeps me awake and alert. I don't see the suggested retail price raising a great deal of eyebrows either, but it is cheaper than many other 8.3-8.4 ounce energy drinks, even if it's marginally.

Jason's Review:


Vitality Boost is a peculiar Asian energy drink from Taiwan. Most curiously, it's carbonated. It also has fewer grams of sugar than most Asian energy drinks, weighing in with 39g per 8.1oz. Serving, that's not to say it doesn't still have more sugar than anything we normally get here in the states. The can is similar in size, but the materials are lighter. What I mean is, the can doesn't feel like an empty artillery shell, like most Asian energy drinks.

On a sidenote, the design on the front is reminiscent of, perhaps, the greatest martial arts movie of all time, Jean-Claude Van Damme's Kickboxer.

Vitality Boost tastes the most "fruity" of these types of drinks, apple to be exact. It tastes noticeably less syrupy, I also don't find the carbonation as pronounced as American sodas.

Vitality Boost Energy Drink isn't particularly energizing. It tastes pretty good, and is easy to drink, but it's sort of a"ho-hum, I didn't get a caffeine withdrawal headache, but I could still be talked into a nap" experience.

On a positive note, you won't be as likely to expel unprocessed sugar in your urine, as with drinks like Super Lion, or Panther. Lastly, it comes with a price tag that's easier on the wallet than that carbonated pee water with the two discolored bovine on the label.

Like many of the "exotic" drinks we review, it's likely the average reader of our site will never see this drink. I've seen Carabao make the occassional appearance in a convenience store, but the majority of these drinks are only available at Asian markets. It really is a shame, often drinks like Vitality Boost are priced well below the drinks normally available to the general US public, and are usually every bit as good, if not better.

It's possible, since most of the Asian energy drinks are completely uncarbonated and syrupy, that the American public may not find them appealing. Of course, with as fat and lazy as many of us are, I'm surprised we aren't clamoring for something with more empty calories. Vitality Boost is different, it's carbonated and with a simple sugar count that falls somewhere between Super Lion and the almighty Red Bull that everyone seems to hold so dear. As a result, it's possible, paired with a logo of a dude about to get booted in the ball sack, that Vitality Boost could find a market in the US.

To me, Vitality Boost tastes almost like a carbonated juice box. It's not so thick as to sit like phlegm in the back of my throat, but not refreshing enough for me to want to drink it with dinner. Apple is the most pronounced, flavor, and it's almost the only thing I taste.

All the energizing ingredients are there, caffeine, inositol, taurine, b-vitamins, but the quantity is not listed for most of these. I rest assured it could benefit from at least a healthy increase of caffeine.

As with nearly all the Asian energy drinks, the price is right.

Jason's Review:


In the mid-90's, fueled by ESPN's extreme games and Mountain Dew's ad campaigns, almost everything was "extreme". It appears, nearly 20 years later, the trend has come back around, from unlikely places, with potentially fatal consequences.

The new Pottery Barn Teen catalog, clearly features a young girl, dangerously close to a polar bear, controlled by some sort of freakishly festive shock collar. Irresponsible advertisements like these are why hundreds of thousands of polar bears are put down by park rangers every year, and why another several million have been slaughtered in barbaric "polar bear roundup" rituals, in backwards states that still allow them.

On that note, the freakishly powerful Kymera Freakish Energy comes in three sizes, the relatively safe 2 serving, traditional 2oz. shot bottle, the mini-heart-attack 6fl.oz. Mobile refill station, and the lawsuit-waiting-to-happen 102fl. oz. $39.99 Power Pak. This 102 serving container dispenses the same formula as their 2oz. Shot from a boxed container, not unlike the distribution method of your mom's favorite pre-fight holiday wine.

If we've learned one thing from Four Loko, it's that college kids love to irresponsibly consume alcohol and caffeine, disregard the servings per container, throw the entire concept of moderation to the wind, then somehow transfer the responsibility for their stupidity to the manufacturer.

Now, if you're not a 12 year old, or a college student so poorly parented that you behave like a 12 year old, Kymera's Power Pak is a great value. At $39.99, with free shipping, from their website, you're looking at 51 2oz. Shots for less than a buck each.

The flavor, which they call Mythic Melon, is accurately named, at least with regards to the melon. It has a mild melon flavor, which I don't find overly artificially sweetened, like 5-hour energy.

Concerning the energy, let me emphasize that this product contains 2 servings. I drank both servings, and was uncomfortably energetic. I've sampled over 500 energy products over the last 6 years, this is 1 of only about 5 products I actually wanted to wear off. Like my reaction to Tweak Extreme and VPX Meltdown, my hands and feet were ice cold, while my chest, underarms and back were sweating like a wrangler, cornered by wily polar bears. Interestingly, Kymera and VPX Meltdown share an active ingredient which could have added hours to Kris and Kim's marriage.

At the time of this review, the company president has set up a coupon code Scream30, on the Kymera website which will get you the 102oz. Power Pak, a shot glass and refillable bottles for only $29.99. That's 59 cents per 2oz. Shot, or my recommendation would be 30 cents per 1oz. Shot.

I can describe my experience with Kymera Freakish Energy very simply, I feel like I'm on drugs. I will not elaborate on my inexperience, or otherwise, with "party drugs". I will only say that this is strong, and if people don't know what to expect from it, they might be taken very much by surprise. As an "experienced energy drinker", I felt it safe to consume 2 servings. To elaborate on my experience, I was sweating, and restless with deep and intense heart palpitations. During the most intense times, I felt something between hunger and nausea. I found myself clinching my jaw involuntarily. I thought a great deal more intently about the opposite sex in interrupted staccato fashion. Let me get back to the sweating. The sweating was so intense, I had to change a moisture wicking shirt mid-day because it was too saturated for my comfort.

I'm personally not looking for the aforementioned sensations, but I'm sure there exists a demographic who is. They should very much like the intensity of this product, should find the melon flavor easily palatable, and will likely be most enthusiastic about the price. I urge all consumers of Kymera Freakish Energy to exercise extreme care and caution relating to the volume consumed. We're reviewing this product at the standard $40 price for the 102 serving Power Pak. For some indeterminate amount of time, You can use the promo code Scream30 to get $10 off at www.kymera.com

Was that pottery barn advertisement a joke? I couldn't even tell because it was written so poorly so I took you seriously. Because that's a dog-- and lol-- attributing that to the slaughter of polar bears... For as good as you are at website development, you are equally bad at writing.

This is the best energy shot I've had so far. I didn't have to choke it down, and within 15 minutes I was bouncing off the walls. And, at $1.99 for two on ebay, the price was awesome too.

Jason's Review:


We don't usually review mixes, but Everyday Energy Shots! Is really just 10 dehydrated energy shots in a box. Each $20 kit comes with a 2fl.oz. Bottle and 10 2g mix packs that look like the Crystal Lights sticks.

I've been traveling with my laptop a good deal lately. It's easy to jam a handful of these packets in my 5-year-old laptop bag in the otherwise empty cell phone pocket, which was apparently designed for a Razr phone, and would never accommodate my HTC Evo. Convenient, since I can carry the bottle in my pocket. Unfortunately, airport security gives you strange looks while questioning if you're transporting 2fl.oz. Of your own urine.

You see, the Everyday Energy Shot! Bottle, looks a good deal like a miniature pee test bottle from the doctor's office. Functionally, this is because you want the large lid for putting in the packet, and a clear bottle to know if the mix is thoroughly dissolved. Practically, since the lemon-lime mix looks just like tinkle, drinking this in public gives the appearance of some urban application of Man Vs. Wild. Enjoying this with an unwrapped Baby Ruth might temporarily land you in the mental ward.

Since everyone knows people drink their own urine, this is really sort of a mute point. Misplacing the bottle or losing it is more of a realistic problem. Thankfully, you've probably got 20 5-hour energy shot bottles rolling around in the floorboard of your car. That's probably where your Everyday Energy Shot! Bottle is. I know it's where I found mine.

The taste is superior to any other shot or mix I've ever had. My biggest complaint with shots is that they are usually thick, and the aftertaste of artificial sweetener lingers for what literally seems like an eternity. My problem with mixes is that they are usually chalky, and also are often wrought with a heavy-handed artificially sweetened hand. Everyday Energy Shot! Suffers from neither of these problems. It's tart like lemon, not bitter like caffeine. It goes down so smoothly that I could enjoy it as a drink. As for the grittiness, there is none, I shake mine for about 30 seconds, look through the clear plastic of the mini-pee cup to see if anything is undissolved, if so, I keep on shaking, if not, I enjoy.

I have no problems with the effectiveness of Everyday Energy Shot! I'd say it's on par with the vast sea of $3 store-bought shots.

Fortunately, there are more advantages. The packaging suggests mixing it with a fruit smoothie or adding it to the last few oz of a sports drink or soda. I like to add it to lemon garlic chicken and broccoli. Lastly, while other bottles are recyclable, if you're environmentally conscious, nothing beats reusing the same bottle.

What should be an advantage, exploited to its fullest potential by the manufacturer, is that this entire package is about the same size and weight as a 72 pack of Claritin. While this is an obvious foothold to offer free shipping and maintain a profit at a reasonable retail price, which is impractical for energy shots, and nearly impossible for energy drinks, they want $7 to ship a tiny 8oz. box, and that brings the price to $2.70 per shot.

Guest Reviewer: Reviews posted before May 2007 were written by Angie
Some people will say that the taste of Everyday Energy Shot is too tart, they, of course, are wrong. Everyday Energy has a delightful lemon flavor, which is sweetened with sucralose, but not to an extent I would call it lemonade flavor.

As Jason stated in his review, the small bottle and the mix sticks are rather convenient, but one has to convince the general public to pony up $20 and commit to drinking 10 servings. You see, energy shots are a lot like cigarettes. Everyone knows you get the best price buying by the carton, yet, perhaps in an attempt to deny helpless addiction, they buy by the pack. So, while it's obviously less convenient to stop every day, or every other day and buy a 5-hour energy at the gas station or drug store, people will invariably do that.

To compound the problems of getting this delicious energy shot into the hands of the masses, people are lazy, so washing out a bottle and shaking a packet into water is a daunting task like wiping thoroughly, or applying deodorant. Lastly, since the packaging looks like a flu relief product, unless people read (nearly as daunting as the aforementioned) the label, it's likely they will never even comprehend that this is a 5-hour energy alternative, and disregard it subconsciously.

Based on the claims on the packaging, this shot is actually better than 5-hour energy. So, along with having several servings at the ready, it's also better. One thing we've learned from beating our heads against the wall over Red Bull vs. Monster, is that people don't care if it's bigger and better...because it's not Red Bull. Accordingly, any argument about this being better than 5-hour energy will be met with the every-so-insightful rebuttal, "but it's not 5-hour energy".

Where I think this product should win out is a combination of price and convenience. This is the SodaStream (formerly Soda Club) business model. While Everyday Energy has the convenience sorted out, I feel like the price point is way too high, even if you get this in the store for the MSRP, it's still 2/3 of the price of just buying 5-hour energy. If you buy it from the website, the savngs are marginal at best.

Can Text:

Everyday Energy Shots! Comes in a box that's not unlike a Theraflu cold medicine box. It's 4.25 inches tall, about 3 3/8 inches wide, and about 1.5 inches deep. The top is closed with a sticker and can be opened by cutting the sticker, or you can open it on the perforations and have a little packet dispenser. The bottle is mostly yellow, with sun rays, which is fitting, because the product tastes like lemons. On a blue strip along the top it reads, "Energy, mental focus, sugar free", the middle of the box has a picture of lemons and limes with a green flag that reads, "Great Lemon-Lime flavor" (and for once someone isn't lying). Then, in blue with white outline, "Everyday", darker blue, larger letters, "Energy", then in a batman "bam" starburst, "Shots!". There's a little syringe-looking bit that reads, "Keeping you focused and energized". Under that, "Containing a special blend of vitamins and herbs to help give you hours of energy and mental focus". In the bottom left is a picture of a bottle that reads, "Reusable Shot Bottle Included!". On the bottom right, "Energy Shot Powder, 10 convenient stick packs, 10 - 2.0g (0.07 ounce) Stick Packs / Dietary Supplement."

Everyday Energy Shot! Has the most text of any drink ever, on the side, they promote the product, it reads:

It also contains the standard warning for age, medical conditions, pregnant/nursing, etc. Otherwise, don't drink more than 2 a day, several hours apart.
