I got a couple of these from the local farmers market store and mainly they taste like espresso. I don’t even taste the coconut water. I’m somewhat sensitive to caffeine these days and 1 can of this has 199MG which is a lot. Redbull has 80MG and a lot of other energy drinks have 120MG. So I can’t drink all this at one time. One can has lasted me two days.
I used to drink pre workout drinks but over time my body doesnt work as well with caffiene. Has that happened to anyone else where they became more sensitive to it?
I never really got into supplements much, back in the day I used to take creative but never really got into the pre workouts. My girlfriend recently bought one from Costco, the other day I took it before I went to the gym, it was insane I did get some energy but the most noticable thing was as I was running on the treadmill my arms and legs were tingling and kinda burning, I was like WTF I didn't know if I was about to pass out or what. When I mentioned it to my gf she said whatever pre workout it was had a lot of niacin. I remember back in the day in like high school people used to say NIacin helped you pass drug test, I dont think it actually did anything but I remember once or twice taking heavy doses and feeling that same feeling.
A couple of times I had a really bad reaction and ended up getting a Niacin flush. It was scary and intense but my face turned beet read like I had a sunburn and my ears even started to close up. I thought I was going to die or something.
Then I read online people trying to give themselves those on purpose to promote hair growth. And yeah I have heard about that for Drug test evasion. ...etc.
I noticed you said your kind of sensitive to caffeine. Are you a coffee drinker in the morning or no? I never get how people can start their day without coffee I'd be dead lol
I don't start the day with coffee. Mainly I sleep until I wake up. I try not to wake up to any alarm clocks or anything and yeah sometimes the first hour or so is kind of wasted.
The fact that I got that Espresso drink was a little out of character but in the past I would kind of start drinking too many energy drinks or at least sipping on them and they would kind of make me feel weird.
In my early 20's I was taking pre workout formulas and all that but eventually I couldn't really take them anymore.
That is one boujee ass drink! It’s like that the Red Bull that went to private school
Hahahah, That is hilarious!
That is a lot of caffeine for one drinking, good that you drank it in divided portions @brianphobos Maybe three of that could kill some people.
I agree it is a lot.
The fact that you got it from a local farmers market is really interesting for me..
Come on guys, @brainphobos is one of the big guys on steemit but he buys locally made stuff too... To me, it's simplicity and a good way of encouraging local manufacturers too...
But am lost here.... Did I see the C2O currently? Lwkm... Thought it was CO2......
Damn, I've got a bone to pick with my chemistry teacher about this....
LoL
Yeah it is hard to tell how much of this stuff is sourced locally but I have only seen this Sprouts Farmers Market stores in Arizona
I seem to get less and less sensitive to it!
maybe you are addicted! lol
Sshhhhh, no-one must know!
