No question this product does give a boost in energy. It has gotten me through some long and difficult days, however I still have a tough time with the taste. I have to take a swig and follow it up with something more pleasant. If you need the daily boost and can handle the taste, this is a great product for you.

This stuff packs a bit of a punch on the cayenne pepper and to be truthful, I only took half of the shot initially and then come back later and take the other half. Combined with apple cider vinegar, you have a potent shot that may not work well for everyone given the strong flavors. Personally, after trying one I don't think I could drink one of these daily but may be able to ever-so-often. I didn't really get much of an energy boost from what I did drink, but I will say it will clean out your sinuses if you are stuffed up. This would also work well on a cold night if you were looking for a non-alcoholic pep in your step to warm you up.

This felt like a pretty gentle caffeine drink. I'm usually sensitive to caffeine, but was pleasantly surprised to not have issues. It tastes fine to me, but I drink apple cider vinegar drinks and wellness shots often. My husband didn't like the taste at all, but he doesn't normally drink these kinds of drinks.

First time I took a whole bottle that was at room temperature. Very strong, just like a shot of raw apple cider vinegar. However, after a few seconds, you taste the ginger and cayenne. It's a powerful taste. Far from being anything near refreshing. I tried the next day, but this time I chilled it. It made no difference to me. Some people say to mix with this or that, but I prefer to just take it and get it over.<br /><br />I did not have any after-effects aside from the taste that stayed for about 10 minutes. This did not upset my stomach at all.<br /><br />I also did not feel any boost in energy. I was still as focused as before, and I can't make a claim about reduced stress.<br /><br />I have had much better success with other vitamin shots and enjoyed the taste of those more.<br /><br />As far as the apple cider vinegar benefits, I could get the same by taking certain capsules or just doing a straight shot of raw acv.

It might be the 40mg cayenne pepper, but I'm here to tell ya = this drink has some zing.<br />I'm not into spicy foods so this may be more intense for me than you.<br />> The taste is peppery - with ginger / apple cider vinegar aftertaste.<br /><br />Why did I still give it 5 stars?<br />Because cayenne pepper is extremely good for digestion.<br />BUT each time I've tried to take it over the years it has always tore my stomach up.<br />Sometimes with intense pain and to the point of it coming back up. And THIS one settles nicely.<br /><br />> Cayenne pepper stimulates the gut to produce enzymes which helps break down food.<br />> It improves digestion and boost the good bacteria in the gut.<br /><br />The other ingredients are excellent for detox<br />The 4200mg apple cider vinegar is an impressive amount and being raw<br />it naturally includes the mother.<br />> The caffeine is natural and only approx one cup coffee.<br />> The ginseng is 100mg which isn't much.<br /><br />The serving is 1/2 bottle for moderate energy - full bottle for maximum.<br />This is a little tough for me to get down but sipping it isn't as bad as chugging<br />and sipping keeps the liquid off the back of my throat.<br />All in all - this drink is more for detox than giving an energy boost<br />like one would expect from an energy shot.<br />I found it did give me slight energy, but only from the point of general well being.<br /><br />Good clean healthy drink for detox

This is what you want to take if you need a clean boost. Natural energy shots like these fit into my current lifestyle of eating cleaner and healthier. I used to drink things like 5 hour energy and Red Bull, but they sometimes leave me jittery and feeling worse after.<br /><br />Each shot contains 4200mg of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, 100mg of Caffeine from Green Coffee Beans, 100mg of Organic Panax Ginseng, 85mg Ginger Root Extract, 50mg of Organic Ashwagandha and 40mg of Organic Cayenne Pepper. Hardly any of these are found in your typical energy products in stores today and there are no hidden extras. You get what you pay for and 4 of these shots are a bit more costly than 4 inferior competing products. I like the taste and can definitely taste the "ginger" part of it. If it's too strong for some, at least you can easily chase it down with water after.
