You may be wondering why I decided to include a review of a weight loss product. Don't let the marketing fool you. This product is as good or better than many of the energy drinks out there on the market. I'll admit I only got it because I saw it on the counter next to 5 Hour Energy, and it was cheaper so I thought What the heck, I'll try it.
I purchased it at Walmart for $3.99 for a 2 pack. I decided to take this in the evening so I could get some writing done. I looked at the ingredients and was thinking it won't do much more than those weightloss energy pills out there, that really don't do anything. Boy, was I surprised! Some of the main ingredients include Caffeine Anhydrous, and caffeine from tea leaves but there are also a low, low amount of B6 and B12 vitamins. It even has some healthy stuff like Calcium, Potassium, and Chromium.
I took it at 10pm and it wasn't until a little before 2 am that I decided I was getting tired and I wanted to go to sleep. So nearly 4 hours of sustainable energy is really good. And the buzz wasn't as dirty as 5 hour energy. I could have stayed up longer, and I wouldn't have the same feeling with 5 hour energy. With 5 hour energy your buzz wears off, and you don't crash but your body is pretty much worn out for the rest of the day. Not so with Hydroxycut. I was ready for bed, but I didn't feel like I had just worked out for the last 5 hours.
The taste of Hydroxycut is pretty much like cough syrup, but not as strong as cough syrup. It's only two ounces so it's not a big deal to bury down the hatch. I've had a lot worse energy drinks as far as taste goes.
In conclusion, this is a cheap energy drink, that may be marketed towards dieters but will work just as good to keep you awake. Sustained period of energy will last for 3-5 hours with no crash afterwards. I highly recommend this product as a 5 hour energy alternative
