5 hour energy against the Verve Energy Shot, no comparison

By Dr. Haywood Jablome

Energy shots are extremely popular as people are looking to find a way to artificially boost energy. Today, I am going to compare the market leader, 5 hour energy to the newest energy shot, The Verve Energy Shot.

The Energy ingredients in 5 hour Energy is Citicoline, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Taurine, Malic Acid, Glucuronolactone, Caffeine. The Vitamins in 5 hour energy shot are Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Folic Acid (Vitamin B9).

Minerals are essential for life. The Verve Energy shot has Proprietary Plant-Sourced Mineral Blend: 956 mg Carbon (Organic), Calcium, Sodium, Sulfur, Magnesium, Chloride, Bromide, Fluoride, Iodine, Potassium, Niobium, Aluminum, Iron, Phosphorus, Silica, Manganese, Boron, Strontium, Titanium, Tungsten, Copper, Zinc, Tin, Zirconium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Chromium, Selenium, Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, Gallium, Barium, Yttrium, Neodymium, Hafnium, Cadmium, Thorium, Antimony, Cerium, Tellurium, Beryllium, Samarium, Dysprosium, Erbium, Bismuth, Gadolinium, Cesium, Lanthanum, Praseodymium, Europium, Lutetium, Terbium, Ytterbium, Holmium, Thallium, Thulium, Tantalum, Germanium, Gold, Platinum, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Scandium, Silver, Indium. The Verve Energy Shot contains Taurine 1000 mg Guarana Seed Extract (standardized extract yielding 120 mg of caffeine) 300 mg D-Ribose 50 mg Inositol 50 mg Choline Chloride 10 mg Vitamin A (100% as beta carotene) 2500 IU 50% Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 300 mg 500% Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 1000 IU 250% Vitamin E (as d- alpha tocopheryl acetate) 60 IU 200% Thiamin (as thiamine hydrochloride) 1.5 mg 100% Riboflavin (as riboflavin U.S.P.) 1.7 mg 100% Niacin (as niacinamide) 20 mg 100% Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) 5 mg 250% Folate (as folic acid) 800 mcg 200% Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) 15 mcg 250% Biotin (as d- Biotin) 300 mcg 100% Pantothenic Acid (as calcium d-pantothenate) 10 mg 100% Selenium (as selenium amino acid chelate) 140 mcg 200% Proprietary Wildcrafted Mangosteen, Organic Glyconutrient-Rich Aloe Vera And Organic Green Tea Blend 25.2 g Reconstituted Mangosteen Juice (Garcinia mangostana L.) (fruit), Aloe Vera Gel (leaf), Green Tea (leaf) (decaffeinated), Mangosteen Extract (pericarp) (standardized 10% xanthones)

You would have to be a moron to look at the two ingredient lists and not see a significant difference. One is an energy shot with some vitamins, the other is a complete supplement that happens to give a ton of energy.

The really funny thing is that the Verve Energy Shot is actually priced lower that the 5 hour energy shot. The Verve Energy shot retails at #3 where the 5 hour energy shot is more.

Looking at the two bottles, side by side, the Verve Energy shot bottle is a lot better looking. The 5 hour energy shot is in a plain jane looking little bottle where the Verve Energy shot bottle is very unique and slick.

I tasted both and hands down, the Verve Energy shot tastes way better. The Verve energy shot tasted better cold, but wasn't too bad at room temperature as well. The 5 hour energy taste wasn't bad but had a strange after taste.

If you are one of these people that lives on Energy drinks and energy shots, I would recommend giving the Verve Energy shot a try. It really serves two purposes, it is an energy shot and a full vitamin and mineral supplement, meaning you won't need to take another pill or any other supplement all day. - 17269
