30-Second Review

Extra Strength by 5-hour Energy is a pre-workout energy shot. 5-hour's stronger shot. Each 1.93oz bottle has 230mg of caffeine in a 2,000mg Energy Blend with taurine, glucuronic acid, malic acid, N-acetyl L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine, and citicoline, plus 40mg of B6 and 500mcg of B12, and it's sugar free. The label suggests half a bottle for moderate energy.

230mg of caffeine in a shot you can drink in one go, with the dose on the label. Sugar free, with N-acetyl L-tyrosine and citicoline in the blend. The pack is $31.98 for 15 shots, about $2.13 each. The limit is that everything in the 2,000mg Energy Blend except the caffeine is listed without amounts.
