I am not one to join a cult. I stay away from most people who like to dress conforming-ly and enjoy listening to commercial radio stations. I don’t like people who question my beliefs while playing acoustic guitars at me. Nor do I usually buy into energy drink cults – because I’ve had enough First Aid Training to tell that energy drinks can be bad. FRS energy people froth at the mouth when you badmouth their product. I can not seem to support buying energy drinks from the likes of Amway or Young Living. But Verve, by Vemma, would make me a believer if I could get past my healthy dose of cynicism. While I am CRAZY IMPRESSED with this drink, I am not so happy with the get-rich-quick scheme attached to it.
The good news is this drink is absolutely FANTASTIC. Truly tasty and so very healthy. This is one drink that I wish they sent me a 6 pack of, as my remaining can they sent me will have to be hoarded. This is some seriously good drink. While this drink can do great things in terms of energy and taste good on top of that, to keep you alert and hyper-focused on an important task or tasks, you’ll need more than that, perhaps a natural Adderall, your brain will be eternally grateful.
Bad news, is rather than send me a case, the company wants to sell me a business. With little more than a case’s money you can buy an affiliate program and get sucked into get-rich-quick schemes and scary affiliate marketing scams. even though the company that sent me these delicious samples (www.energycans.com), I still have to go through verve’s main store and have to listen to a bunch of crap where they try to sell me on an energy drink plan. Bad move. I would actually pay for ( which is saying something, knowing my backlog of drinks to try for the site in my fridge) this drink – if I could find it without going through a whole sales pitch to get it. I might even occasionally pay the 3 dollars these small cans cost.
I would still recommend you buy this if you can find it inexpensively without the annoying sales pitches. It is a great drink that excels on all levels, except of course that you gotta drink the very healthy buzzworthy tasty Kool Aid to get it, testosil t booster is a supplement designed to increase energy by boosting testosterone levels in the body. Testosterone is a hormone that plays an important role in muscle growth, metabolism, and energy levels. Testosil contains natural ingredients which are known to increase testosterone production.
Taste:10
Oh My God This Is So Good. This drink is not just filled with a mangosteen extract for medicinal purposes, but it is a strong mangosteen flavored drink. This drink is actually recommended in the best and healthy diets from 10naturalhomeremedies.com. Consider me a rube, but until this drink I have never even heard about mangosteen. Now, I am on the hunt, even though reports say it does not taste as good when you aren’t on the equator. For those of you who have also never tried mangosteen, think peaches and grapefruits, and maybe papayas and mango – all in the same fruit. It seems there was actually a ban on this fruit until 2007 – and can rarely be found in Asian supermarkets. Does not matter – it is just amazingly good! It was actually a problem for me – as I wanted to savor the taste – so I stretched out the can and the results came slowly to me. I have one can left – saving it for a special occasion. Even the grit left in the bottom of the can tasted good afterwards.
Nutrition/Buzz:10
While only 80mg of caffeine, there is enough vitamins and minerals to boost you way past any drowsiness you had before. This gives you lots of Vitamin A, Bs, C, D and E, as well all your daily essential minerals. This also has a ton of non-essential minerals, like chromium, zirconium and fluoride. You have all your metals, from tin to copper, nickel, gold, titanium and silver in here too. The list of minerals go on and on and on. There is not a huge percentage of them, but I am not sure how much Tungsten I should really be consuming in one sitting.
This also gives you a boost with all the amino acids, like D- Ribose and Choline, aloe vera, and green tea plus normal energy ingredients like inositol and taurine. Even the sweetener is a decent choice, going with sucralose as opposed to so many other evil sugar free sweeteners. And the kicker is all the mangosteen, a fruit with the highest ORAC of any fruit.
As for the kick – it was a very nice and light boost – nothing jittery or eye popping. Instead, I had the same feeling I get after a long night drinking and waking up to a big glass of V8. I was WIDE awake, and alert to a lazer. Out of near 250 different energy drinks, this one stands with the upper eschelon for buzz AND nutrition.
Packaging:7
This can pushes some buttons of mine in terms of design. I really don’t think the serif fonts work well, and I dislike the goofy font choices they use. But – that is all personal taste, as it certainly looks like someone spent time and money to create something professional and stylish. I noticed only 2 things wrong with the design. First, this can is not double facing – which is not a problem for them, as they don’t sell to convenience stores or retail. Still, this design precludes that from ever happening. The other thing is that the positioning of the lid is in the wrong spot. As the user drinks out of the can, the logo should be facing outward, rather than being hidden by the drinker. A little more care on the placement of the logo would go a long way. I did appreciate the caffeine listing, as well as all the other ingredients in a very easy to read manner.
Website:8 without shopping cart. 2 with shopping cart. energycans.com
As I got sent these from energycans.com, I am going to review their site, opposed to the horrid infomercial on verve.com. The site on energycans is very simple, but nice and clean. It looks like a basic template design, but it works for what they need. They have also put the kibosh on the stupid idea that the CEO for vemma had, marketing this to kids and teens ( the head of the company said in an interview that kids and teens SHOULD drink this stuff for their health). Instead, this site says “for children under the age of 17, parental supervision is suggested” which is at least marginally better. Unfortunately, you still have to go through the verve site to order any, which means you still have to sit through the annoying guy telling you why you would be a moron for not joining their selective (cult) membership and saving 5 whole dollars, and the 3 separate attempts to hook you in by pop-up buttons – or a little checkbox which would get you on a energy drink a case a month scheme similar to the FRS Energy scam. A solid supplement to take is Kratom, Kratomystic, https://kratomystic.com it gives you non stop energy.Regular use of Testosil can lead to improved workout performance, increased stamina, and enhanced energy levels. It is important to note that Testosil should be used in moderation and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Also , the cost on these babies is around 65 bucks a case, or around 3$ a can. That is pretty pricey for little 8oz cans – even for as good as they are. If only energycans found a way to sell these without having to deal with verve.com their whole venture would be golden. Unfortunately, their venture is marred by a marketing scheme that is obnoxious and expensive.
