The 2 ounce energizing bottle we've all come to know and love since our first review of 5-Hour Energy Berry Flavor back in October 2005. That guy on the front is still running!!1!!one! This bottle looks pretty much the same, of course, they've dropped the "Chaser" from the name, which happened some time ago, and have added some orange graphics and the text "New orange flavor". Also, there are directions/warnings on the back, which I appear to be new, or I didn't document them in the past. "For maximum energy: drink entire bottle at one time. For moderate energy: Drink a half bottle or less. Use or discard within 72 hours after opening. Refrigeration not necessary. CAUTION: Contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. Limit caffeine products to avoid nervousness, sleeplessness, and occasionally rapid heartbeat. You may experience a Niacin flush (hot feeling, skin redness) that lasts a few minutes. This is caused by Niacin (Vitamin B3) increasing blood flow near the skin. Not for use by children under 12 years of age. Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine". "Feel it in minutes ? lasts for hours". Lastly, 5- Hour Energy Orange is described as a "Dietary Supplement".
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
About as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, 30mg/150% of USRDA of Niacin (B3), 40mg/2000% of B6, 400mcg/100% of Folic Acid, 500mcg/8333% of B12. Also, unspecified amounts of Citicoline, Glucuronolactone, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, L-Phenylalanine, Taurine, Malic Acid. Also 1mg of the following enzymes: amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, lactase.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
5-Hour Energy Orange has a great flavor (particularly compared to the original that we reviewed in 2005), goes down smoothly. I prefer it cold, but it's not unpalatable at room temperature. The Original 5-Hour Energy is our most commented drink on the site. There are a range of inputs of various topics either covered in the television commercials, or on the bottle. I decided to address those myself, since I've consumed a reasonable number of 5-Hour Energy Shots.
Q. Does it provide 5 hours of energy?
A. For me, the energy is not spastic, like I might get from drinking 2 Monster XXLs, but I feel relatively awake and alert, usually ready to accomplish something for several hours.
Q. Does it cause you to crash later?
A. I never have. Some people say, "after a while, I felt like I did before I drank it", well, that's not crashing, that's natural. A crash would be if you felt far worse than you did before. My best answer, I've never drank one in the morning, and felt any more inclined to take a nap at noon than I would any other time. Also, I can usually "come down" in plenty of time to get to sleep (assuming I drink it several hours before trying to sleep).
Q. What is a Niacin Flush?
A. Of the great number of 5-Hour Energy shots I've consumed, I've had 1 Niacin Flush, my skin (particularly my face, forearms, and hands) felt warm (like putting parts of your body into a warm bathtub), mildly tingly, and turned slightly red. As described on the bottle, this lasted for a few minutes, then I was fine. Others have described profound affects, even claim to have gone to the hospital. I don't know if these claims are valid, or if perhaps the people making the claims are trigger happy on calling an ambulance. I'd recommend trying part of a bottle the first time to see how you react.
Q. Do you really need to "hold nose while drinking"?
A. No, those comments by Angie were made about the Ver. 1.0 of 5-Hour Energy, and the new versions are not despicable tasting at all.
Q. Is there a place I can get these for less than $2.49-$2.99 each?
A. Absolutely, Buy 5 Hour Energy for less than $2 each (cases of 12 for $20) from many of the Amazon stores (this is the same as the link which you may or may not see above, depending on where you are viewing this review).
Great taste, effective, no crash, and under $2, this is a good value as well.

9Jason's Review:
Of the "new and improved flavors" berry is still my least favorite, the orange is relatively superior to berry, and the lemon-lime is slightly better than the orange. This is, of course, a matter of taste, but I find them all relatively enjoyable. The bitterness of the original "Chaser" branded products is almost completely gone, and the remaining tartness is almost enjoyable, like a warhead candy.
I'm energized, and can stand by all the claims that this product makes. I usually don't drink this on an empty stomach, and have never expected it to do anything unreasonable, like make me want to garden at 4AM after being awake for 47.5 hours. I only mention this, as it appears that some people do expect it to completely alleviate the need for sleep...ever. This is not true. When I use this product "reasonably", IE, I just woke up, only got 5 hours of sleep, and need to be awake and alert, I feel much better after drinking a 5 hour energy than I would otherwise. Also, if I got up early, and I need to stay awake until 2-3AM, and be relatively alert, again, this product helps. This is also true of On Go Energy, and likely of the host of new energy shots coming on the market, which we intend to review soon.
The prices have come down significantly. Our first review was at $2.99, the second at $2.50, and at the time of this review, 5-Hour Energy can be acquired through the links on this site easily for $2 each; a great value, particularly if you use these regularly, and will invariably consume at least 12 of these in a month.

I love 5-hour energy!!! I take one about 1:00 PM and I have the energy to make it until the end of work and also hit the gym for a great workout. No complaints here and I have not had any side effects.

5 hour energy orange is great, im about to drink my second one right now as I type this, I do get the niacin flush about once a week but its cause its 5am and im out of it with no food in my stomach, I always eat before I drink 5 hour energy, it cause me not to get the niacin flush.All in all, its a great product and now my entire shop drinks these little bastards haha

I love 5 hour energy orange, so helpful. normally i'm not easily affected by coffee or anything, but 5 hour energy actually works. you feel more alert, not really energized

I needed a boost after driving from texas to tampa,it helped me to stay alert but not tired.It was my 1st drink,and bought another after half way point to my destination.
Kristina on 2009-11-25 14:16:46 said:
I love this stuff. I take prescription Provigil for mild narcolepsy every morning. I can take another in the afternoon but I often skip that dose because it gives me a headache and leaves me unable to sleep at night. Because I also play rugby and have practice 2 nights a week, I find that taking a 5 hour energy drink is the best alternative to a second Provigil in the afternoon or late evening. I don't get a headache and it keeps me going long enough to last through 2 hours of practice. But not too long...By the time I get home, I am ready for bed at a decent hour.
Zach on 2009-11-23 14:42:00 said:
5 hour energy is crap. Doesn't work, all it does is taste like crappy orange water. It may work for someone who is sensitive to energy drinks, but if you consume caffeine in large amounts, don't bother.
AJ1976 on 2009-11-17 10:46:26 said:
Seriously (and this is not a joke message) I woke up on 10/7 at 7:30 am. I traveled about an hour away to hang out with my friends (6pm to 10pm). I met up with my new boyfriend at 1030 pm. About fifteen minutes prior to seeing him, I drank the whole shot of 5hour energy. I was able to have sex with him, kept him up til 6am (Again, I SWEAR ON THESE STATEMENTS), drove back the hour to my place, ran quite a few errands. It is 11:41 pm on 10/8/09. I SWEAR ON MY LIFE I HAVE NOT BEEN ASLEEP YET!!!! I guess everyone has different reactions. I have tried to go to sleep to no avail. I am a 33yr old, full figured woman. I will NEVER drink a whole bottle again. Maybe 1/3 at a time if I need the energy. Edited by Jason: So, let me get this straight, are you saying 5-hour energy makes you slutty? Or are you saying it keeps you awake longer so you and your "new boyfriend" can behave like feral cats?
xxrajeevxx on 2009-11-13 11:27:27 said:
5-Hour Energy Orange worked great the first time, after the 5 hours didn't feel any worse than I did before taking the drink. The next few times I took it, the effect wasn't strong, but I still didn't crash. I would say take it if you just don't want to sleep, but don't expect the same strength after taking it over and over.
JanMarie on 2009-10-12 16:46:29 said:
I started using 5-hour energy about a month ago. I only use it when i need a little boost to get through the end of the day, never tried it in the morning. There's only been one time where i didn't get the boost i was looking for i do agree it doesn't last 5 hours. Recommended it to my daughter the first time she drank it itgave her jitters, she took it in the morning suggested she try it after eating and she was fine the next time following this advise. I don't think this is a product that should be used on a regular basis.
Val on 2009-09-03 13:36:52 said:
I have tried these energy shots, the taste I could say wasn't bad (at least the Berry). I did not notice any more energy than I had before and felt I could go to sleep if I layed down. NO crazy feelings from it at all. Just no energy boost for me.
Matt on 2009-08-26 09:24:54 said:
It's helpful for some long third shift nights. I keep a couple to back me up when I hit the drowsy wall at 4am. It doesn't make me bounce off the walls, but I don't feel like I'm dozing off either. Worth the money as your fifteenth inning pitcher.
Ray on 2009-08-17 13:56:27 said:
I tried these five hour shots one night my friend bought them for me to try. then he wanted me to try them then about 8:00pm. I said no at first and he insisted so I drank the both shots that came in the pack about 30 secs apart and then at 8:30pm that same night went to sleep felt no energy. I was highly disappointed and I didn't like the taste (personal preference you make you own decision on that) but all in all I don't recommend drinking them. Edited by Jason: You might try not doing everything someone insists you do. Drinking both bottles of 5 hour energy at once could have resulted in a nasty niacin flush. Also, I think exceeding the recommended intake skews the results out of the gate.

I Am a 13 year old male, 120 lbs, and 5'4''. I was very tired after a day of canoeing and tried 5 hour energy the next morning. The only thing it did was make me stay awake in the car. I don't usually use energy drinks.

So I got this 5-hour energy idea from a friend in class. I'm a senior in high school and these days, i feel like i have no energy for anything at all. it's either all my energy is put into one specific thing and i never get to the rest of my "to do list". So my friend Ray told me about it in math class and she told me it worked good. So last saturday, before going to work i decided to stop by a gas station and try it. By the way, the night before i slept at around 1:30 am and i started work at 8 am the next morning. So i bought two. There were two flavors available in the counter: lemon lime, and berry. I decided to buy one of each. I drank the lemon lime first. And it tasted pretty tangy and kinda sour. It was good though. I'm not really a fan of energy drinks such as monster and such. Though I really enjoy coffee. But i think this energy drink i discovered will replace my coffee cravings. I drank the whole bottle that day and in 5 minutes, i was up and so hyped. I really enjoyed work that day and went home feeling sooo not tired. I was telling my mom about it. About the 'no crash later' part of this whole ordeal. Well, yeah, its true. But for me, once i went to bed wanting to sleep, i got just that. So it's like an "up to you" kinda thing with the sleeping part. The whole catch to this energy drink is to get you energized but when you're down. You're down. And I love it. I just bought another 4 bottles today :)

LOL @ Allen. You use this to help you play World of Warcraft? Me too. I use a generic brand from Cumberland farms, costs about 1/2 the price, same results. You should also try Mana Potions brand Energy Shots.
amber on 2009-04-27 12:48:44 said:
i took half a 5 hour energy about 15 minutes ago and im just as tired as ever, although i cant keep my legs still. I will drink the rest of it if it doesn't start working in the next 10 minutes. so far though its doing nothing & does it ever taste nasty
Darcie on 2009-04-14 16:19:37 said:
I chuckled a little bit when I read some of the reviews. After taking the drink within 15 minutes I had my living room in shambles, sweating like a pig and I couldn't put two thoughts together. Eventually my living room had a new layout and organized to a T ! I did not stop. i work with kids and this was an excellent way to make it through the day and as high energy as they are. I went back to the store and bought two more bottles. I felt like I was buying drugs. I slept like a baby too because I had exausted all of my energy from my "5 hour enegery" fits!! Price is $3.70 a bit high .

Had to drive from New York to Detroit overnight and popped a 5 hour energy...amazing stuff! Didn't even blink an eye the entire ride, easiest road trip I've ever had. Did it on the way back too, same deal. One small negative, did have a more aggressive attitude, and a few road rage moments, but that's prob because I was hyper. Overall, this thing is an A+!
Celeste on 2009-03-24 12:33:48 said:
This drink eats the lining in your stomach. Not good for you but if you take it once or twice a year, it's ok. Only drink 1. For those of you drinking 2, you're going to hurt yourself. Not smart. Anything in excess is too much. be smart. Half of one worked for me. I felt great but I don't wanna get hooked. Edited by Jason: Of course, the previous statement is not the opinion of the website authors, nor is it most probably the opinion of a physician or dietitian.

Try FRS.....endorsed by Lance Armstrong. This 5 hour energy stuff works alright for me. Though everyone has to understand that everyone is different and will react to it differently. Just as I could drink a mild cup of coffee and it wouldn't do anything for me, yet one huge red bull does a lot. I can not take Goodies Powder or Excedrin because of the caffeine in pill form because it makes me feel sick. I don't know why my body works the way it works, but it just all boils down to trying different things. I always advise people to try these things ON YOUR DAY OFF so that it does not affect your work day. I as well have anxiety problems but also have severe fatigue problems....it's a nightmare. BUT!!! If you want something that really works....try FRS, the drink endorsed by Lance Armstrong... it's a little pricey, but for someone like me who has a serious fatigue problem and having to work long hours.....it's worth the money. And no....I do not work for FRS.

I took 5 hour energy prior to playing hockey for two different teams in one night. The first game, which started at 9pm, last only one hour, and the next was 10:30pm to 12:30am, two hours. I took the 5 Hour Energy at about 8:45pm, and almost instantly I felt quite energized. Usually after playing hard in one game, I'm quite spent for the next two hours, but this time I was flying the whole time. The only thing is, it's now 3:51am and I'm still awake. Perhaps it's the caffeine, but not being able to sleep would be my only qualm with this product. Maybe next time I'll try the caffeine free 5 Hour Energy.

Ok guys I work in a bank and have some heavy duty studying to do on my licenses for investments. I couldn't stay awake just sitting here reading my book. I decided to try the 5 hour energy to fight my loss of motivation and energy. A few minutes I immediately felt the rush. It makes you feel kind of giddy and ready to run or do cart wheels. I totally recommend this. It gave me energy and helped me super read my super boring material.

6'3" 255lb Male (32 yr old) I took 5 hour energy for the first time today. I want to get back down to 220-210lbs at the least. I get tired towards the time I would like to go to the gym. I used to work night shifts and I needed something that wasn't loaded with Caffeine or sugars (or ginseng* for that matter). I used to work nights and go to school during the day and I overloaded the caffeine at times. I know what it feels like to get REALLY jittery. This drink did not do that to me. I didn't get a HUGE boost but there was a notable difference. I am not sure if I lacked B vitamins or anything but I did notice a difference and I did not CRASH like I would from 10 sodas. It seemed to work for me.

The first time i took 5 hour energy, i needed a boost from NC to Tampa after dozing off at the wheel. It worked like a charm and got me down i-95 w/ no problems. 2nd time i needed a boost in the morning during work. Ran down to Target and took one. Worked as well. Since then i've had nothing but problems. I noticed that the energy spurts gradually got shorter and shorter. I got into Red Bull a little bit which gave me a significant boost that the 5 hour energy could no longer deliver. After a while i decided to give 5 hour one more try and bought a 2 pack. The first one i took on another trip to Florida: it only gave me a very small boost and i crashed very hard at an expensive dinner show that we'd been looking forward to. The crash was so bad that we had to leave early. My girlfriend didn't want me to take it again. I switched to vitamin B-12 & have felt 100% better after weaning myself off of red bull & 5 hour. My alertness is not quite as sharp but there's definitely an increase in energy in the morning w/ some "get up and go". Recently i had the day off and was feelin a little groggy after a bad mcdonalds breakfast and the day off. I found the 2nd 5 hour energy and said what the hell and chugged it. It had absolutely no effect whatsoever until a couple hours later. I fell asleep on the couch twice. I'll stick w/ B12 and never take 5 hour energy again.
Jerry on 2008-09-12 23:32:23 said:
No difference at all for me, wished it had. Have taken it twice now. I am a 6' 200lb male and 3 cups of coffee are MUCh more potent than 5 hour energy, save your money.

it works amazing if you have a poor diet and is deficient in B vits and aminos. i drank monster day in day out for years, i need to jack a case of this stuff. other energy drinks have too much sugar and make my thoughts foggy. i think.

I drank a bottle of 5-hour energy at 2:30 today. Felt an immediate rush of nervous energy, with palpitations. I probably could have had the same result from drinking strong coffee. 4 hours later, and I'm ready for a nap because my body is tired, and my limbs feel heavy as lead, yet my mind is still alert and buzzing. Go figure.

I LOVE 5-Hour Energy Shots. I found them at a "vitamin world" shop 2 years ago. I was working full time and going to school full time from 6pm to 10pm Mon-Thursday. I had tried Vivarin pill and No-doze and they didn't help me. I tried 5 Hour Energy and it was PERFECT. I was "instantly" awake...did my 4 hour class, got home and by the time was ready for bed at 11pm I was wound down. No crashing, no jitters. I just love this stuff. Yes the price can be a little high, but I think it's work it. I usually by the 4-pak from Walgreen's when they go on sale for around $10 bucks. I've recommended this little shot to ALL my friends, and anyone going to school and working. It was a God-send. I give it 10-stars!!!!! Added by Jason: These are available in 12 packs for less than $20 through our Energy Drink Store.
DR on 2008-08-08 15:33:41 said:
I wish I knew the exact reason why this works so well for me. I take prescription provigil and add this to it to feel NORMAL. I keep wondering if I need the whole spectrum of what is in it or just one component. I have to report, though, that I have to watch myself for a bit of "road rage" induced by this stuff. I also have not proven it yet - but I also think my blood pressure goes up when I use it. The jury is still out on that one. I buy this by the 6 pack every week. Added by Jason: Perhaps the 12 pack from our new online store for less than $20?
Jesenia on 2008-07-25 13:11:12 said:
Being completely honest. I'm not a regular with energy drinks, but i decided to try 5 hour energy orange and see if it helped to keep me awake at work. I did not enjoy the affect it had on me. I was jittery the whole day, my arms felt numb and tingley. I was all over the place. It really didn't make me feel energetic, cause I still felt that I could fall asleep at my desk. Obviously everyone is affected differently and this is how it affected me. Personally, I don't believe I will be having another drink at any point.
Jason on 2008-07-25 10:21:23 said:
I though 5 hour orange was better than the berry but still under the lemon lime, after a while I really don't start to notice the effects of energy drinks, but the people around me do. This one still caught my attention that I was, "Slightly" hyper. If you need to stay awake, use this, if you need to stay awake, and do something productive while concentrating, or when you don't want to be hyper...don't use this.
Khrome on 2008-07-22 10:01:38 said:
I use 5 hour energy a lot. Its not a hyper caffeine kind of energy. Its basically a massive shot of vitamin B with a little caffeine. You won't really notice any jitteryness like with pure caffeine energy. You will notice greater stamina and less tiredness than usual.
Chuckles on 2008-07-16 20:19:31 said:
5 hour energy is bullocks. Vast majority of the effect of energy drinks is a placebo, and this is no different. Caffeine like a cup of coffee, packed into a little bottle to make it unique. And it tastes awful.
carlisa on 2008-07-16 18:02:38 said:
5 hour energy orange really kept me awake. I still wasn't tired after working all night. I constantly got light headed. when my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. As a matter of a fact, I couldn't pick my head up off the pillow. I couldn't eat. The only thing I could do was to lay down. It took two and a half days to wear off me. This is one drink I would not recommend to any one.
Sharon on 2008-07-16 11:58:46 said:
Tart taste, probably would be more tolerable if you drink it cold. Disappointing, because I felt no effect whatsoever. Nothing. Surprising to me because I'm normally very sensitive to anything that claims to give you "energy".
Rich on 2008-06-09 09:34:23 said:
I took 5-hour energy at work (2am). About 15 minutes later my heart rate went up to 130-140 (I was standing still, not walking or running). My arms hurt, my heart was pounding in my chest, and I had a cold sweat for no particular reason. Not sure if mine is an isolated incident, but I was relatively sure that someone was going to have to call an ambulance for me. I'll stick with my Red Bull and crash when I get home in bed.

The people who are saying 5-hour energy made them go to the hospital (please ya whacko hypochondriac it's no worse than the twinkies, soda or cigarettes you shove into your grocery slot) or it had no effect are either lying or they're so fat it couldn't affect them. I took this and immediately noticed a HUGE energy boost that lasted for several hours. well worth it but a little expensive. I only take it 30 minutes before working out.

i take 5-hour energy on a regular basis and these are the best. they don't give me jitters or anything like that. also i think they make me sleep better at night as well.

I use it to get energy for working out and think it is overall a decent product for waking you up if your feeling a little groggy. It sure as hell doesn't last five hours and for me at least some times ends with a bad headache.

I'm a college student, and I pull all-nighters a lot at the end of the semester. I used this 5-hour energy shot the morning after being up all night, and it got me through the day and into the night with my mind still active enough to be productive. I wouldn't say that this is a good habit, but it works for crunch time!
Shawna on 2008-04-30 10:50:29 said:
I tried 5-hour energy drink at my fitness club one day, and i have to say it gave me too much energy. I worked out for 2 hours straight and felt like I could go another 3 or 4. I am not used to the effects of energy drinks or caffeine so I think that is why it worked for me. If you are one of the people who use caffeine or B-12 regularly then this product might not have an effect on you. I never have caffeine nor do I use any kind of booster, this was my first one and it was intense.

I liked 5-hour energy Alot.. I thought it was BS but It worked for me.. My mistake was taking the whole bottle the first time.. Its lot of Energy made me shake and feel crazy.. But once I took half the Bottle the next day it was fine... for the people that say it doesn't work is because your blood type is Red Bull.. craziness

I work 3rd shift and get off work at 7:30am. When I get home I have to stay up with my 2 year old until 3:30 and sometimes it gets pretty hard to stay awake an be alert. When I heard of this energy shot I was so excited I had to buy it. Well I took it and pretty much felt the same. I had a small boost of energy for about 30 min and I wasn't needing to hold my eyelids open, but I didn't feel anymore alert than before. I guess it helped some, it just wasn't what I expected.

The taste is not as bad as everybody makes it out to be, but I felt very little boost in energy. It did help keep me from falling asleep at the wheel, but I drank the whole thing in one gulp and didn't notice much of any energy increase. I'd try taking more than one, but the price tag on these is like a gallon of gas, so I decided a fill-up on my car was more important than a fill-up on my energy. Try it though, it might work better on some people than me- no energy drink of any kind really affects me much, so this probably works on normal people.

I read one comment about someone needing to go to the hospital and not feeling their legs. Come on people! Let's not blame the drink. Let's blame your chemical makeup for not being able to handle the 2 ounce energy shot. Personally, I like it and use it a lot. Not crazy about the Berry flavor. Lemon-Lime is doable, but the orange is the best so far.
