5 Hour Energy currently has three energy shot flavors which are Citrus, Berry and Orange. The Orange flavor is the newest energy shot from 5 Hour Energy and is my favorite out of the three. The energy from this flavor is about the same as the Berry flavor and kicks in within minutes. The first thing I noticed after taking my first gulp of the light-pink energy juice was the energy head-rush. The energy gave me a head-buzz that woke me right up and peaked for about half an hour. The nice thing about the energy rush is that there are no major side effects, such as headaches and stomachaches. I did experienced an increase of heart and breathing rate but that didn’t affect me much. Energy is powered by caffeine, energy blends and lots of B-vitamins. I recommend drinking this dietary supplement drink on a semi-full stomach to reduce the effects. If you have a sensitive stomach, this drink may make you feel uncomfortable in the abdominal area.

The most noticeable flavor from this dietary supplement drink is sweet orange-citrus. 5 Hour Energy Orange has a strong orange-citrus smell and a light burning aftertaste, similar to drinking a weak shot of liquor. The drink also has a light cough medicine aftertaste which made it hard for me to drink, luckily it is an energy shot instead of an energy drink. This energy shot contains 30 milligrams of niacin (vitamin B3) which may cause hot feeling and skin redness to people who are sensitive to niacin. The skin redness is caused by the increase of blood flow near the skin. 5 Hour energy Orange is also high in caffeine (about the same as a cup of coffee). If you are sensitive to caffeine, you may want to stay away from this supplement drink or drink carefully.
