Function: Alternative Energy Drink, Citrus Yuzu, 16.9 Ounce Bottle (Pack of 12)

I stumbled upon this drink while in my local Ralphs store. I was just looking for some different sort of energy drink. Before lunch a few days later at work, I was exhausted, to the point of basically falling asleep in my chair. I drank this along with my lunch without thinking about it. That was around 12:30 PM. When four o' clock hit, I suddenly realized I had gone almost four hours since having lunch and still felt very energized. Now, while my normal lunch (with a Gatorade or soda) will energize me, its effects last a maximum of an hour. So without even thinking about the fact that I was drinking an energy drink (the packaging does not really look like an energy drink, after all), I completely felt its effects for hours. I'm fairly certain this is not just some placebo effect, either.Oh, it also tastes nice, nothing like your typical energy drink. I've since signed up for Amazon's auto-order, to receive a case of this stuff every three months, though I may bump that up to once every one or two months since it's so effective!

Function Drinks Alternative Energy is an excellent energy source. Don't let the great taste fool you into thinking this just a refreshing beverage. The energy boost is subtle and long-lasting. My husband didn't feel noticeably energized when he drank this at 2pm; however, he realized he was very energized when midnight came and he couldn't fall asleep! Alternative Energy works very well and the energizing effects can last as long as 10 hours. Great for students, working professionals, and busy moms!

I have to say i did feel a little more of a boost from these then i did from the likes of Monster, Red Rain or Rockstar. But taste wise i wasnt too sold on... kinda tastes like a slightly watered down Gatorade, and the after taste wasnt all that great, wasnt horrible, just not to good either... if you dont like the carbonated drinks, or the real sweet ones, id say to give these a shot, taste is always subjective, my friend wasnt overly excited about these, but he didnt feel the same on taste.

The original flavor was good, however, the product was “ upgraded “ to organic formula which tastes medicincy! I won’t purchase the product again

Best energy drink with out the crash, lasts a long time (few hours) and kicks in pretty quickly (15 mins or so). Good tasting and I feel more sustained than with others.

These are truly the best drinks for calm, clear energy that helps me focus and get things done.And they have a clean taste, very delicious...

good

Love it. Great alternative to soda!
