Redbull was the first energy drink on the market(discounting Jolt and a few others) that actually advertised it's product heavily.  The tagline "Redbull gives you wings!" with their terrible animated commercials that make you not want to drink their stuff.  But they came into the market at the right time and are a big hit, especially among women.  These energy drinks are not known for being the biggest buzz, but they are popular for drinking before a long party night.  They are better known for keeping you awake, rather than giving you wings.

Redbull however was slow to market with their Redbull energy shot.  It has been worth the wait, though.  First off the design of the 2 ounce energy shot looks great.  It's the trademark blue and silver color of redbull sodas, smaller.  Thank the Energy Gods they didn't make another shot shaped like 5 hour energy!  The packaging reminds me of a bullet, and it's silver so everytime I take one I find myself telling people, "Gotta go shoot a silver bullet."

Next is the taste.  It's not so good.  It reminds me of their energy drink, in cough syrup form.  But I have tasted worse such as the Rockstar or Hitman Energy shots, so this one slid down pretty easy.  If you are going for taste this isn't your shot, but if you don't care of have even a medium tolerance you should be fine with this guy.

About the kick.  It is pleasantly mild, almost calming in a way.  This may sound bad, but it's actually a good thing.  It is not going to get you wired like a 5 hour or an Xtra or an Amp, but it will keep you awake and alert.  No jitters, and mood's reasonable, and positive.  Stuff lasted not quite 3 hours for me.  No crash.

Before I get in my last word let's compare the Redbull energy shot versus the Redbull energy drink.  The winner is: The Energy Shot!  No surprise here, the energy shot tastes worse, but lasts longer and only have 2 ounces instead of 8.  The drink only wins when it comes to taste.

Does it give you wings? Sort of.  I recommend it after you wind down from a different energy shot or about 5 - 8 hours after taking Lipo 6.  You will be pleasantly surprised.

Energyshot.org joins Bodybuilding.com's popular Bodyspace.  Yes we even have embarassing before pictures of me and blog confessionals of the hardships of avoiding Mountain Dew and Oreos.  Haha, enjoy.

Bodyspace is like MySpace for bodybuilders.  What attracted us to the site were all the options available to help keep one commited to getting fit and staying fit.  Features include: posting before, after, and profile pictures, finding inspirational profiles to follow, tracking your body and weightlifting stats, blog posts, and list of supplements you are taking.  There are many more features, and we will give you more information as we learn them.

Other reasons to join the site were to let others know about the positives of energy shots.  Yes, energy shots are getting a bad rep because they are coupled with their fatter cousin, the energy drink, so we wanted to dispel the myth.  There is a supplement guide where you can post what supplements you are taking and we plan to post the energy shots we are currently taking along with others.  Right now we are taking: Six Star Whey Protein, Six Star Creatine, Lipo6 Fatburner, and Redbull Energy shots.

If you want to see my laborious transformation from "gut to strut" go to the profile at Energy Shot's BodySpace Profile.  As you will see I need a tan and need some muscle on my bones.  I hope that my transformation can motivate others to live a healthy lifestyle, which can involve energy shots in moderation.  I'll see you there.

Ooh!  I got to post my new achievement: 15 full pullups! Booyah!

Claiming nootropic and thermogenic qualities that hit the Central Nervous System rather than the cardiovascular, the main ingredients include caffeine, methyl hexane HCL(yum!), chromium polychitinate and 1000mcg of B12.

The effects sound intense,and actually it does not have as many ingredients as many of the other ingredients.

Someone came into the office,  and said after a recent blood test they found out that their potassium levels were dangerously high.  They are avid energy shot users having 1-2 a day.  You know my stance on moderation, but I was intrigued so I got more information.  The doctor told him if he was eating a lot of prunes or bananas which this person was not.  But he realized that the energy shots had potassium in them, but didn't know how much.

I'm not a doctor but I did know that energy shots make some people have to pee more often than usual which can mean a lot of things, but is most likely the kidney trying to flush out the over abundance of chemicals/enzymes/ingredients in the body?

Doing some more research I discovered that if you are peeing a lot and have a high level of potassium, the reason is the kidney is either not filtering out the potassium, or you are continually feeding it such a high level of potassium that it can't keep up with filtering it out.  That explains the peeing.

My interest picqued I went to the doctor and had a blood test done as well.

The results?  My potassium was 158 when it should not be over 152.  And I don't have an energy shot as much as my friend, only having one every other day.  Talking to my doctor he said this is possibly the case.  He suggested stopping the energy shots and then trying the test again in 1-2 months.  So that is what I am doing.

Is there a link between dangerously high potassium levels and energy shots?  Its possible but further research and evidence is needed to support it.  The makers of these drinks should consider taking out the potassium as it is not something needed in the drinks, and of which we can get the necessary potassium levels from other things such as fruit.

So, the symptoms of high potassium is peeing a lot after an energy shot, so if this is the case, get a blood test, and try limiting your energy shot intake.  Remember your health is more important than a few hours of induced energy.

Is this anti-energy shot article?  Definitely not, just trying to keep you informed so you can make good decisions.  Remember to keep drinking shots, and MODERATION is the key!

We have worked out deals with a vending machine manufacturer to create a custom vending machine that will not only look good, but function great, and give us the ability to bring energy shots to every corner at a more affordable price.

With the only competitors in this business being Mad Dog Energy Shots who make their money by duping want to be entrepreneurs to overpay for their machines and distribute an unknown brand(Mad Dog), we believe that our efforts to run this business in house will bring a more reputable client relation, and the ability to place machines faster and provide better products.

Energyshot.org's machines will carry about 120 energy shots in four varieties including 5 hour Energy, 5 hour energy extra strength, amp energy shots, and then a discounted brand being either Stacker 2's Xtra energy shot or providing decaf 5 hour energy for workout gyms and in places that request it.

Energyshot.org's target locations include Airports, Workout Gyms, Nightclubs, bars, and 24 hour work centers and warehouses. They are performing testing routes in the Southeastern Idaho area, and central Salt Lake area.

"Although it is early in our new business venture," Energyshot.org CEO, Dan Cavanaugh says, "sales have been strong in our test locations and customers are positive about the machines. The demand has been strong, and we had to bring on more staff just to keep these machines stocked."

Energyshot.org currently has 15 machines placed, and plans to expand to at least 75 by the end of the year.

Well, unless you like drinking Nyquil, you will quickly find out that many taste exactly like cough syrup.

Without further yammer here are the most scrumcious energy shots:

• Xtra by Stacker 2
• 5 Hour Energy Lemon Lime Flavor
• Mana Potion
• Amp Energy Shot(Jakarta Flavor)

That's all I can really recommend as far as flavor goes. Most energy shots just don't taste good. The number one best tasting is Xtra by stacker 2, with Amp coming in second, Mana Potion third, and 5 hour energy in fourth.

If your tastebuds can't stand nastiness than avoid these energy drinks:

• Monster Energy Shot
• Rockstar Energy Shot
• Hydroxycut Energy Shot
• Yellow Jacket by Stacker 2(If you are going to drink Stacker 2 I recommend only drinking Xtra. It's the only one from them that actually works)

So, what have we learned? You don't have to sacrifice kick for flavor. In fact the tastiest shots I have mentioned are also some of the very best drinks. See our 5 hour energy alternative list if you don't believe me. But I got to update it because Xtra is one of the best energy shots out there, both in flavor and kick.
