Zipfizz Energy Drink Mix, Electrolyte Hydration Powder with B12 and Multi Vitamin, Combo Pack - 30 Count(Pack of 1)

I have majorly low energy on most days, so naturally, I became a total coffee addict. We're talking like 32oz a day plus a few shots of espresso as a bare minimum. I have some health concerns that really mean I need to avoid coffee, but I needed to be awake more than I wanted to worry about that.Then I got a stomach ulcer. And that promptly showed me the error of my ways as every time I had a little bit of coffee, I would start feeling much worse and have intense pain from the acid....Enter, awesome co-worker with Zipfizz! She gave me a few to try after I kicked my caffeine issue cold turkey and was struggling to keep my energy up naturally. Wow. I tried one and within a few hours I had ordered my first case. I switch between purchasing these on Amazon and at Costco, depending on availability and flavors. I've gone through about 5 cases now :)The great thing about Zipfizz is I never feel jittery or weird from it, It actually UPLIFTS MY MOOD! Maybe it's all in my head but I would imagine it has to do with the intense amount of vitamins loaded in each serving. We're talking almost 42,000% of your daily B12 PER serving!When I say these have helped me, I am not joking. Comparatively, my blood work has improved immensely. Along with clean eating habits, my body is regulating some of my medical issues on its own. My ulcer healed. And now I have a small cup of coffee, maybe once a month, as a treat.Now onto the flavors...If you have never Zipfizzed then... DO IT! But really, I would recommend trying the variety pack so you can find which flavors appeal most to you. Of the variety pack, the grape soda is my favorite, followed closely by pink lemonade. They both taste pretty good though a bit strong. I'm not a huge fan of the orange soda.However, your flavor choices don't stop here! My personal favorite is Fruit Punch. Yummy.And to simplify things a bit... these suckers are so easy. Just take a few sips from a bottle of water (don't skip this step or you will have a volcano on your desk at work, trust me here) or pour the tube into the container of your choice. I personally use a Blender Bottle because I do not purchase bottled water regularly. Give it a couple minutes to fully dissolve, shaking here and there. Drink it and feel awesome!No joke folks, this product has honestly improved my quality of life. If you're low energy, give it a shot. And if you don't like it, you can send me the rest of your case...

I was looking for an energy enhancer that I could use frequently without risking my health, and that was safer than red bull/monster/etc. This is what I have found after a month of use of Zipfizz:Pro's:-With this product I feel a distinct second wind after my cardio work that I never had before. This is the point where I usually want to go home and curl up on the couch, but with Zipfizz I am enthusiastic enough to lengthen my cardio and stay for weight training, and clean my apartment after!-No noticeable crash.-No rushing pulse or palpitations: I have worked out on energy shots before(5 hour energy) and it can get scary and even make you light-headed or pass out. Zipfizz has not had this effect on me(and I am a small female strongly affected by stimulants).-Good size container for pouring into a water bottle.-Can take it several days in a row: I did this and didn't experience adverse crashing effects like I do with Red Bull. Also it didn't seem any less effective the second day.Cons:-No noticeable rush: If you are looking for that high that comes with high caffeine energy drinks, you won't get it. I tried to use this for an all nighter and it did not keep me from falling asleep like the unhealthy ones do; though this could be a pro if you drink it for a late workout and then want to sleep after.-I personally think it tastes like crud. But it's not any worse than other energy drinks.Tips:-If you don't like the taste, use way less water and chug it! I like to pour it in a water bottle that's 1/4 full, shake it to mix it up and drink it fast. But be sure to refill your bottle afterwards and drink it so you get the amount of water you're supposed to take it with.-For me it takes about an hour to kick in: I take it half an hour before my workout and by the time Id be lagging it has kicked in for me.I have always been an avid user of energy drinks/shots/candies/etc, and I believe they all have their place. This one belongs in situations where physical endurance is important, but it doesn't keep you awake if you are sleepy, or it didn't for me.

UPDATE: I have officially tried a few more flavors and the Grape is my favorite.... So far! I ordered a box of the ice tea, pink lemonade, orange cream, berry and citrus. With these tubes I found myself experimenting with the flavors using only half a tube, I enjoy the flavor when its not so strong. So I can get double the use out of one tube. I love the plastic, easy to open tubes. I can just toss one in my backpack without having to worry its going to bust open or get punctured and make a mess in my bag, like the crystal light packages. The lid clips shut nicely, since I only use half a tube its nice to be able to just toss it back in my bag. I have one everywhere I go. I have only tried 4 out of the 11 flavors. But you best believe I will be trying them all.I have only tried one of the flavors, blueberry/raspberry, and I love it. A friend told me about them when I told her I was looking for something else flavorful to drink since I don't drink pop or energy drinks anymore. She asked if I had heard of Zipfizz and I was so baffled that I had never heard of these before. I have only used them for two days now and I can see the difference in my energy and my alertness. I am a third shifter and sometimes it is hard to stay awake. Not with these, they give me a huge burst of energy and I can get thru an 8 hour shift, no problem. I cant wait to receive my box and try all the flavors Zipfizz has to offer.Not only does it give me the energy I need to get thru my day/night, it also has most of the vitamins I take every morning after work and then some. You cant really go wrong here, in my opinion. I love the energy Zipfizz gives me to be motivated to actually do stuff. Will be buying again. and again. and again, and again!!! Thank you!
