I took one last week not really knowing what to expect. Reading the nutrition facts is quite overwhelming considering it has 8333% of a kind of vitamin. How is that? Anyway, it just made me really, really focused. Effects on you guys? Are you impressed? Have we become too dependent upon these substances to maintain our drive in life? I was really thinking about this when I saw that half of my local convenient store was filled with various types of energy supplements. Anyways....

What's with the commercial :?? The only way they could more strongly imply sex was if the desk girl left the room in the end.

It's a waste of money. ANYTHING over 100% cannot be used by the body so when you see 800% of something, 700% of it just gets pissed out of your body.

Pirate700

the % is Reccomended Daily Intake, so I'm sure you body will use more than the reccomended 100%. Your body won't think wait the nutritional information on this product does not reccomend this much.

100% means how much your body needs for the average diet, not how much your body can absorb.

Those things are disgusting. Energy drinks in general. I took half of one of those things and I was jittery and unable to concentrate for the rest of the day. Also, those are far more nutrients then you need, most of them will be urinated out anyway next time you pee. The ones that don't can actually be bad for you in high concentrations.

You're right but there is a general limit. Your body in no way can use anywhere near 800% vitamin B12 for example. Most of the recommended %s for Vitamins are around the average amount the body is able to actually use. Not just recommendations. The vast majority of it will be pissed out. The really absurd percentages are little more than a sales gimmick.

B12

I think Vitamin B12 is alright to take too much of as it just comes out in your urine. Your urine will probably be a bright flourescent yellow. I was just curious.

I took one of these once and had the jitters for nearly 2 days. This stuff works but i wouldn't recomend it unless you absoultly need to stay awake for long drive or something.

Pirate700
Not so. 100% is usually just the fda recommended amount. Just because they recommend that much doesn't mean your body can't absorb more. In general, you can say that 100% is what you have to have to survive. Anything above that is extra icing on the cake.
