I started taking caffeine regularly to keep myself going during long shifts and it eventually became a daily habit. I've always tried to keep track of how much caffeine I have in my system and when its safe to take more, but that can be difficult with energy drinks. The thing that I really realized though was that I was KILLING my wallet buying all of these energy drinks. And not only that, even though I was doing the sugar free stuff, I was still consuming a lot of artificial sweeteners. I switched to 5 hour energy bottles and similar knock offs, but even there, you're spending $1.50 to $3+ a pop. That adds up really quickly, especially if you're doing two a day. If you consume a two pack of 5 Hour a day, at say $5.50 a pack, thats around $38.5 a week. So I knew I had to change something and I wasn't prepared to give up caffeine. So I did some research online and came across the Weyland Energy. The thing that impressed me was the lack of bs in its ingredients and that it had 100 mg a pill (instead of 200mg like a lot of them of other competitive pills. I like the flexibility of what dose I take). But not only that, that they don't try to BS you with B vitamin dosage. A 100% of your daily recommended B-Vitamins will do you just fine. 5 Hour has 8333% of your daily recommended B-12 and while that looks super sexy, you will pee almost all of that out, as your body will only take what it needs. Weyland Energy gives you exactly what you need without unnecessarily misleading amounts. It doesn't try to trick you into thinker the bigger the number the better. The pills smell vitamin-y, but its not overbearing or even a real issue. They're not very large, just a little bigger than an Ibuprofen tablet and its coated, so its easy to swallow. I was concerned about how long it'd take to dissolve and how long it'd take to kick in. But that wasn't an issue and it seems to really kick in within a half hour or less, which was true of the liquid caffeine I used to take. The thing I didn't want to come here and say was, "wow gave me the energy I needed. Really works!" because frankly thats what it says on every energy supplement/drink/shot review. At the end of the day, thats what caffeine and things like B vitamins do. However, I can tell you these pills will give you the exact energy you need in a reasonable dosage WITHOUT a bunch of gunk and filler that comes with a lot of energy supplements. No artificial sweeteners, no dyes, just a good blend of herbs, vitamins, and you're good buddy caffeine. I feel better not drinking energy drinks all the time and my wallet feels a lot better too. A couple more things before closing out. My recommendation for dosage is finding what works for you. I take two pills to match what I was taking before and then I'll take 1 or two more in about 4-5 hours. That'll cover me at work and get me through. But that won't be true for everyone. Some people it might last longer. The thing is to just be smart and not overdo the caffeine. Just start out small and go from there. Pay attention to when you feel like its wearing off. Just be smart about your caffeine dosage and don't over do it. At a certain point, adding too much caffeine won't make you any more awake and will just get your heart pounding. Caffeine is your friend as long as you regulate it and keep track of how much you're taking and how often. The other thing is I was impressed with the customer service. Right after I bought a second bottle, I got a message from the owner thanking me for being a returning customer, asking if I had questions and offering me a sample. I thanked him, told him I really liked his product and gave him my info. He replied with what was clearly not a copy and paste message and then later in the mail I received a very generous sample simply for being a regular customer. There was no demand that I'd only get it if I wrote a review, just a suggestion to give my honest thoughts and to thank me for buying their product again. Thus to be explicitly clear, the sample didn't influence me to give this product 5 stars because I would've given it 5 stars anyways. The customer service is just a bonus to an otherwise great product. Thats how much I recommend it as a caffeine fiend and someone that needs the energy to get through my day. TLDR; Want to stop spending so much money on drinks/shots and start getting your energy in a much healthier form? Buy this and try out in place of what you were taking before. You won't look back and waste your money on overpriced energy drinks full of stuff you don't need.
