The 5-Hour Energy shot is advertised on television as a "burst of energy" that won't make you "crash" when it wears off. The label advises that the high levels of niacin may cause skin flushing and the sensation of heat in individuals not used to such a dosage. Contains 15 calories in each 2 oz. (60 mL) bottle and costs $2.49. Reviews say the drink is palatable, and the energy effects are pronounced well passed the 5 hour mark. Five Hour Energy shot does however sky-rocket your blood pressure to a dangerous degree, which can cause heart problems if used long-term.

I am 18, it was the week of exams and I had a Government test that I studied for, for the past week; the day of the exam I decided to take the 5-Hour Energy shot, and within five min. I couldn't breathe, my throat felt like it was closing up, I started to shake and couldn't talk. My, mom, a critical care nurse was with me at the time and helped me. I found out that my body couldn't handle the Niacin amount. So people who are considering trying this product, just keep in mind it is not for everyone.
I totally agree with the comment above. I absolutely love this product, its a life saver during exam season. Anyway, the reason why I am posting is the 5-hour guys are giving away free samples... 5000 of them, I registered and am expecting my stuff soon, plus there's other really cool stuff too...
My father died from this product 5/2/09. He had a massive heart attack after drinking this product. He was going on vacation and less than a hour into his trip he pulled off the highway and had a heart attack a rest stop in st augustine, fl and passed away. He was a healthy 56 year old with no preexisting heart conditions. It was his first and last 5 hour energy drink. Please beware of this product.
