Where To Buy – Amp energy drinks are available at certain convenience stores nationwide (United States), I bought mine at a local gas station for the retail price of $2.49. You can also buy Amp energy drinks at certain grocery stores, they usually sell them at a cheaper price.

Amp Energy Traction is a product of Pepsi, this energy drink is specially formulated with D-ribose, maltodextrin, B-vitamins, caffeine, ginseng and other energy blends to increase focus and control. Traction’s energy juice has a purple color and is carbonated. The most noticeable flavor is sweet-grape, the purple energy juice also has a very light grape-bitter aftertaste. The energy rush from Traction is competitive and is better than the earlier Amp energy drinks. The first thing I noticed from drinking this supplement drink was the effects of the caffeine. Altogether the energy blends kept me focus for over two hours; the energy was the best during the first 30 minutes. I drank this energy drink in the morning on an empty stomach and did not experienced any side effects which was surprising. Usually when I drank energy drinks on an empty stomach, I end up getting minor stomachaches similar to eating chocolate on an empty stomach.

Amp Energy Traction is above average because of its unique flavor and competitive energy rush. If you like the flavor of grape, you will enjoy this energy drink. The nice things about its flavor is that it does not have a strange herbal-energy-blend taste found in some energy drinks, and the mixture of sweet and sour is near perfection.

The pros

• Taste better than most energy drinks.
• Nice grape flavor.
• No major side effects.
• Competitive energy rush.

The cons

• Taste more bitter at room temperature.
• People with sensitive stomachs may experience minor stomachaches.
