5 Hour Energy

njbeachbum · February 3, 2009

When I was on my way out with one of my friends about a week or so ago, we stopped for gas and he ran in to get a little bottle of that "5 hour Energy" drink... he said it works really well before workouts at the gym. Anyway, never try anything unless i know for sure that it is gluten-free, so I checked it out online, and in the FAQ section under "other concerns" it says: 5-Hour Energy is gluten free. So there you have it!

Thanks for that! I've used that energy source pre-gluten-free and actually have one but had put it aside. I like this one better than energy drinks as there is less of a crash at the end.

I LOVE 5 hour energy. Since I've gone gluten-free, I can't tolerate caffeine very well. So, I stay clear of the conventional energy drinks. 5 hour gives you way better wings than Red Bull!! Plus, the berry kind is delicious.

I recently saw commercials for 5-hour energy. I think I'll have to try it. Where can you buy it?

You can typically find it at the counter of most convenience stores. I think Walgreen's carries it too.

i still LOVE my coffee, but like you, cynical, it's a little rough on me since going gluten free. i have yet to try 5-hour but i might need it before heading to the gym tonight after a long day at work, so i'll let ya know how it works out for me :-)
