Taste: *** 3 out of 5 stars

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
