It does give me more energy and it is only 5 calories a scoop but I don't like the taste.
[[VIDEOID:8fa932d41331e1789a697562db34d8cc]] I have started working out more and I study on a regular basis as well, so I needed something for my mind and body. I needed all the energy I can get, and I like that it has lions mane mushroom in it.<br />Pros:<br />*It does give me energy and I feel like I can mental process things faster. I like it better than coffee that gives me energy but also comes with the coffee jitters and this one doesn't.<br />* The color is beautiful to say the least. It looks like it has pink glitter in it or something and I keep wondering what that can be from. If you look at the video, I posted you can see the shimmer and swirl. No, it doesn't affect the inner workings of it but it does make it aesthetically pleasing.<br />*My favorite part- It is only 5 calories per scoop. This is great because the less calories I add the better since we know a lot of our calories are gained through liquids.<br />*It uses green tea extract as its caffeine source. I drink green tea sometimes and this seems to give me more energy, so I am not sure the energy boast comes only from the caffeine or if it is from everything combined. However, I like the effects without that crash that this gives me.<br />Cons:<br />*The flavor is just not good to me. I feel like a child taking medicine every time I drink it. The flavor is just so similar to a medicinal flavor that I started drinking it with a straw. Not horrible but not enjoyable or anything. (minus a star for flavor).<br />*Less of a con and more of an annoyance but the minerals and ingredients keep settling at the bottom if I don't drink it all right away. I have to keep stirring it every time I drink it to make sure it is evenly mixed before consuming.<br />Conclusion:<br />*I would recommend it because I did feel like it gave me more energy, but the taste is just what i couldn't take when drinking it. I understand all the things it has in it though and next to the protein powders and bars and wheat grass and everything else I have been adding this is in the same ballpark. I do like the energy from it though and the fact that it is 5 calories per scoop.<br /> Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
