Over the pass few years, energy shots are becoming popular among adolescent and young adults. One of them is Extreme Energy 6-Hour Shot, the one I’m reviewing today is the Wild Berry flavor.

Below the bolded “Extreme Energy 6-Hour” text is the slogan “World’s Most Extreme Energy Shot,” “Works Blazing Fast,” “No Crash.” The light-red energy juice contains purified water and is loaded with vitamins, energy blends and herbal extract. Too bad its vitamins are synthetic which make them less effective. For a 2 fl. oz. bottle, Extreme Energy 6-Hour has more energy blends than most energy drinks. The energy rush from the Wild Berry flavor was intense. Within seconds of drinking the energy shot, I felt my head buzzing with energy. Its energy woke me right up but my head felt clouded, similar to smoking a cigarette for the first time. The intense energy rush made it hard to concentrate, I don’t recommend drinking this energy shot on a regular basis or before bed.

Extreme 6-Hour Shot’s energy juice is very concentrated and sweet. When taking your first gulp, you may notice a burst of sweetness and sourness follow by a light-burning sensation. The burning sensation reminded me of when drinking very weak liquor, like wine cooler. Its sweet and sour flavor is very similar to children cough medicine and smells like it too. I’m surprised that I didn’t experienced any major bad side effects. Although, people have experienced heart and breathing problems after drinking these types of energy shot. The side effects I felt were light headaches and stomachaches. I also noticed that my heart and breathing rate increased slightly. To reduce the side effects, don’t drink this energy shot on a empty stomach. Extreme Energy 6-Hour Berry is very high in caffeine, 220 milligrams per bottle to be exact. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you should stay away from this energy shot. Pregnant women or children should also stay away from it. I don’t recommend drinking Extreme Energy 6-Hour on a regular basis because of its high energy blends, synthetic vitamins and synthetic chemicals. Please drink with caution.
