Hi Dr. Berg, taurine is a sedative to help stabilize the heart from misfiring the contraction vs the relaxation ratio. The heart has a lot of taurine as an important amino acid. The reason why manufacturers add taurine is to avoid the heart from misfiring thus reducing the risk of heart attacks. Without it, you would probably see more heart attacks than are currently reported.

It's like... you have a sore muscle, exhausted by exercise, so you temporarily inject it with a non-paralysing anesthetic to make work even harder. Then the anesthetic wears off and you're left with a muscle in a condition ten times worse than before.

Hey Dr. Berg, please do more product review videos like this. This was very informative. Thanks.

54 people die due to smoking each hour 148 people die in road crashes each hour Another 2,283 - 5,707 are injured or disabled in road crashes each hour You have a better chance of dying from smoking or driving your car Just like any pick-me-up, there are side effects, moderation is the best way to go here, dont chug 2 or more in one go. I've been drinking 5-hour and have the best way to go: 1) No more than 1 per day. 2) 3 per week is in your best interest. 3) drink 1/2 the bottle in place of coffee the other half around noon or lunch. 4) DO NOT drink after 3pm, or good luck getting to sleep.

Thank you for your videos. They are informative and very helpful.

Very simple and straightforward explanation. Easily understood.

Hey Doc. Compliments on the clear and concise way of presenting the information.

Wow, thank you! I just realized this has been my story. Used stims to work harder, which led to burnout. On a keto diet now which is helping a ton.

I work a third shift truck loading job and I typically take half a bottle after I wake up from a 2 hour nap before going to work. By the time I get to work I can tell I'm ready to go and get stuff done. Before I started taking 5 hour I went to work feeling sluggish and lousy even with my naps. Never once have I experienced any symptoms, likely because my body can break down caffeine easily compared to some who may get the jitters.

This was so helpful. Thanks man

Thanks for teaching keto diet. However, when energy drink is bad for keto diet, then what is the alternative to help the kidneys after a lot of sweat and the loss of electrolyte?

I recently introduced coconut cream, organic 320mls per day, some with each meal. I am low carb but not keto. This really improved how I felt and my energy is higher - some more healing is needed for inflammation and asthma - they have already improved since starting this at the end of last month.

Thank you so much for explaining at 1:15 that you took supplements to wake you up. I did the exact same thing and had chronic fatigue afterwards. I didn't put 1 and 1 together, now it clicked. have a sub!

I would take 1 to 2 5hourenergys everyday for almost two years. I had to eventually stop because my heart started feeling uncomfortable and the last day it felt like I was fixing to have a heart attack. Now all I have to do is take them 2 days in a row and my heart will feel uncomfortable. I think they need to take them off the shelves. The exact combination of ingredients are no good.

Great advice as always

I drink 5 hour energy daily for years!!! I am an optimal performer at my job. Eat with it and you will be fine.

Short, to the point, and not full of non-understandable science jargon. Thanks man!!

Dr. Berg, My question is.. do 5 hour energy shots break a fast? Because other videos say Sucralose doesn't.

5 hour energy gets rid of my "fog" on the brain. It's not just a wake me up, but a clear me up.

I work midnight to 8am. I don't know how to sleep properly. No matter what I've try ti doesn't work well. I need coffee to function on my shift.

Shawn Redfield I agree with the previous comment. Since going Keto/ultra low carb, I started taking magnesium and potassium supplements. I had insomnia for decades and now I actually feel tired at bedtime and want to sleep. Working night shift I can understand the difficulty. You may want to try taking these supplements an hour or so before you need to go to sleep to see if that helps. Turning off lights and drawing blinds closed to hide the sunlight. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time, even on the weekends. Best of luck to you.

Hi Dr. Berg, I've seen your videos talking about things like l-carnitine and other ingredients but not as they are found in energy drinks. Without endorsing or calling out certain energy drink brands, can you do a video on if someone were to make use of consuming energy drinks, what to look for and what to stay away from, like "look at ones that contains this this this" and 'stay away from ones that contain that that that", again without endorsing certain ones and not bagging on sugar sugar sugar content which we know they are all bad anyway in that sense Thanks

I agree that using it to stay up longer is not the best, but they help a lot when you wake up. You can take half or a full bottle when you wake and be alert and focused before you pee. I find it helps me become productive very quickly. I am sure others use coffee for this, but this is much quicker, and I don't like coffee. If you take it early, it should not impact your sleep. Taking caffeine late might not prevent sleep originally when you are tired, but even if you fall asleep you will wake up too soon.

It does say for 5 hour shot that it's 2 doses on the bottle and to only drink half. Maybe thats why the crash is so hard and people having heart attacks from it.

My father had a heart attack at 67. He had an enlarged heart, and had previous heart attacks. In his truck, I found dozens of empty bottles of this stuff. Dozens of bottles. My son just left for college, and I made him promise me he wouldn't drink anything like this. Ever.

But my work is so intense designing buildings on the computer from early in the morning till 6 or 7, that I do get naturally tired and need a little something like this. I don't know if using naturally occurring amino acids is that bad though Doc....is it? Thanks for the information!

Scott Sanders do u feel any discomfort? I too take it from time to time as a pre-workout but only half a bottle each time. As a pick me up I don't expect it to be natural or completely healthy but I haven't had any problems with it. I had more problems with coffee than this.

I can attest that drinking 5 hour energy is not good for your liver. My blood test results always show elevated liver enzymes while using these shots and when I stop drinking them my numbers go back to normal.

What kind of foods do u suggest

From what i heard, Turine isn't really that harmful, and doesn't stimulate your nervous system, It's a normal product that's found in lots of things.

Where do you find the link down below

Dr. Berg do you believe that an energy shot of this kind can break a fast? I recently started intermittent fasting and I'm having to sort of wean myself off of something similar as my go to pick me up from having poor eating habits and nutrition. I can now see changes in my energy from fasting [day 3 currently]but sometimes I need a quick boost to help me workout while in fasted state.

In short, the answer given at the end of the video is the answer I ended up with after trying to find a safe or safer caffeine drink that I also like the taste of but I was still curious if 5 hour energy was safe to drink once a day

I used to pour a 5 hour energy into a Monster energy drink and would drink that combo at least two to three times a day. How I'm still alive I have no idea, but it got me over a hump in the middle of the day but the headaches and crash was out of this world.

I have to question why you seem to be discouraging the use of raw amino acids. IMO- it would be great if everyone ate quinoa, rice, hempseed and organic fruits and vegetables. Why would anyone not want to consume raw food? Microbes would be my first guess.

I can agree with the anxiety.. it's common sense

Im going to go with...yes...

Definitely not something to drink on regular basis. Here and there when you need some boost of energy it works really well. It has no after crash like redbull.

No. It may have hidden sugars.

I only drink energy drinks when i need them to keep energized and hydrated...cause i evidently i work a. Janitorial 5 hour day job l and i normally need those dinks to increase more stamina and unlimited speed capabilities to continue my duties when i need to stay on point and on task as possible,i train to work out constructively for super strength gaining and muscle overload resistances.Some times when i need to work harder i need that stuff to keep me going.

I hate when they put caffeine or hidden sugars like sucralose to "wake you up" and not really truly energising you by natural stuff.

So if people have anxiety or heart attacks or something they can die?

I had 5 hour engery drink before and I didn't get a heart attack from it and I guess it doesn't happen that very often to some people especially everyone body is different from other people who can't have energy drinks at all but Its been a long time since I had 5 hour engery drink I drink monster drinks the most than 5 hour engery drink but not all the time I don't drink it especially what it can effect the heart

Is One bottle drinks per day?

Interesting after an hour wait training I like to have five hour energy before an hour of running on the treadmill is this dad for me will catch up with me

heeeeeell yea

Use this stuff sparingly. For me, it works but I try not to use it unless I really need to wake the hell up. like if I have to drive for work but I'm feeling really close to falling asleep, which is pretty dangerous.

I personally drink one every day but I will not take more than one. Plus, I have found that if I take a 30 minute nap after taking one it works wonders

I do my dance work out approx. 5 days a week for one hour each day. I use the 5 hour energy shot right before I start working out and it starts working right away. It gives me such a great boost of energy. Makes me feel like going in hard. Great for those days when you feel tired and lazy and not really in the mood to work out. For me it wears off in about an hour.

How much energy do you have if you drink 2 "5 hour energy's " ?

Do a video on Vitamin Energy Shots

I only consumed 5 hrs energy when I am driving 6+ on the road. It's keeping me a wake and a clear mind. Other then driving long distance I don't use it.

I'll use one every great once in awhile. Like... 1 every two or three months. I don't think that is a bad thing. I think if you live on these things... yea, I agree with the Doc.

I sleep pretty well 4-6 hours found works best. If sleep over 8 hours feel sick and burnt out. But still with normal sleep still pretty tierd all day long
