no carbs, loads of caffeine type stuff, b vits, amino acids and some enzymes. oh and they also appear to be chock full of bullsh!t.

i have no idea where the energy they give you comes from. i wouldnt like to try and last for 6hrs on it.
can anyone provide an answer for me. the more spurious/misinformed the better.

just read the ingredients a bit better, 2000% and 8333% per cent of your daily recommended for 2 b vits. wtf

So the aim is to use the stupid high levels of B vits to release and burn the energy you’re storing as fat or as muscle glycogen. the caffeine and glucose are designed to boost your initial energy levels until your metabolism can catch up.
the main problem is your body isnt able to absorb 8000% of the RDA, and if you’ve been drinking alot, you’re most likely to pee out most of it before it gets a chance to be absorbed.
I think its probably healthier than red bull and the like, but may not be as effective as they are hoping.

A lot of crap, but he does actually talk about the energy levels for about a sentence or two..

What more can you say. It’s mostly just caffeine and will really only give you alertness. There are other options better suited to bike riding though(I ride regular road + Single speed). Look at my reviews for Hydrive chews which give you carbs + calcium and more to go with the caffeine and fit in your pocket. The Hydrive drinks are also great for cyclist. I also like the Kronik protein energy drinks for plenty of protein, plenty of caffeine, and plenty of carbs. The thing with energy shots is that most don’t have any carbs to speak of. Stick with the drink preride or in your water bottle is you go with uncarbonated drinks. Hydrive and Guru drinks both work well in a water bottle.
