Where To Buy - On Go Energy Mandarin Orange is available at certain convenience stores and is available online.

On Go Energy is distributed by Aspen Fitness Products Inc., which is located in Birmingham, Michigan, United States. The Mandarin Orange flavor is the newest energy shot from On Go and is created for people who are active, outgoing, hard working, and want to boost their energy quickly and conveniently. This small orange bottle is filled with 60 milliliter of non-carbonated yellow energy juice. The energy juice tasted very sweet because of the added sucralose which is an artificial sweetener found in many low calorie energy drinks. The energy juice also contains ginseng and electrolytes to help replenish the body while reducing stress and fatigue. The most noticeable flavor from this energy shot is mandarin orange which is not surprising. The yellow juice had a syrupy taste, the sweet-syrupy taste is more noticeable when warm. Upon swallowing the juice, there is a light burning sensation similar to when taking a shot of weak liquor.

The energy rush from Mandarin Orange is just as good as the other two energy shots from On Go. The first 30 minutes is when the energy rush hit me the hardest. After that the energy disappeared quickly and was noticeable for over 2 hours. I recommend drinking this energy shot on a semi-full stomach, otherwise you may experience light headaches because of the intense energy rush. Energy is powered by B-vitamins, caffeine, enzymes, amino acids and energy blend. Overall, the Mandarin Orange flavor is my favorite energy shot from On Go. I recommend On Go Energy Shot for people who wants an incredible boost of energy!
