Drink Update Energy Drink with Paraxanthine - Jitter Free, Crash Free, No Overstimulation, No Withdrawal - Caffeine and Sugar Free (Variety, 12 Pack)

For reference, I am 27yo Male with prior Military service.I decided to try these because I no longer enjoy taking large doses of caffeine. When I was younger, caffeine gave me a lot of energy, but now it just makes me anxious. I also don’t like sugary drinks, so I was drawn to these since they have little to no sugar and use a different stimulant than traditional caffeine.The first thing I noticed was the flavor. If you enjoy sugar-free Red Bull or other low/no-sugar energy drinks, you’ll probably like these. But what really stood out to me was how quickly the energy kicked in—it reminded me of when I first started drinking caffeinated drinks.I took my first one around 9:30 AM with a friend so we could compare how it made us feel. About 30 minutes later, we both started noticing the effects, and they were pretty strong. We went for a quick hike, and neither of us felt overstimulated—it was a clean, smooth energy boost.By around 3:30 PM, we got back home and were able to take a nap, which was surprising given how effective the drink was earlier. I’d recommend these to anyone who still enjoys the benefits of caffeine but, as they’ve gotten older, doesn’t like how traditional caffeine affects them. It’s a refreshing alternative to standard energy drinks.

We love Update Energy—it’s honestly a game changer. Compared to most energy drinks out there, it just hits different. The boost is super clean and smooth, without any of the jitters or crashes we’ve experienced with other brands. It actually keeps us focused and energized in a way that feels natural.Flavor-wise, it’s refreshing and not overly sweet, which is a huge plus. You can tell there’s real thought behind the ingredients—it’s not just another sugary caffeine bomb. This has officially become our go-to when we need that pick-me-up. Update > everything else.Highly recommend trying it if you haven’t yet.

I did not like this for multiple reasons. First, it tastes terrible. It is WAY too sweet and fake tasting. Second, I did not feel much of an energy boost from it during the day. Finally, it affected my sleep negatively at night. I felt completely wired when it was time to fall asleep at 9 pm even though I drank this at 7 or 8 am. I tried it for 4 days to give it a chance (and make sure the effects were consistent) and then I stopped drinking it.

Hello everyone,I quit caffeine a few months back, then I stupidly went back. It was pure choice of wanting to try the Ghost Energy Cherry Limeade, which is damn good I must say. That brought my body back into the cycle of caffeine.I was trailing down my caffeine intake and figured it was worth a shot to switch over to a case of Update to see if that helps me quit. I realize there is a chance I then have a dependency on Update, but I’m running a little lab here.July 4th was the first day (3rd can of Update) that I consumed no caffeine. The day went totally fine, no caffeine withdrawal at all. I did only get four hours of sleep, and it is a holiday, so I am drinking a second update just to keep alert to drive.So far, I can say the berry Update has a light, pleasant taste. It doesn’t smash you in the mouth with flavor like some companies do, but I prefer this more light, refreshing blend.The actual enhancements you get off Update are quite accurate so far from the description. I do not get overly energetic, sometimes antsy, or amped up as I would with a Kickstart, Ghost Energy, Redbull, etc.I would describe it as a *clean energy*. That’s what it feels like. A nootropic just boosting your mental alertness.(*new paragraph of review here, apologies for not updating for weeks*) I experienced no withdrawal or comedown of weird feelings. Update allowed me to quit caffeine by drinking it (with the paraxanthine) long enough to help my system. Mileage may vary depending on each of our unique systems,I would totally recommend anyone to try these. They are more expensive, but if you feel your body doesn’t react well to caffeine like mine (example: I didn’t start grinding my teeth at night during sleep until I started to be a regular caffeine consumer), it’s worth the cost to see if you like them. My plan now is to buy a case and have it in the fridge on days I really need a pick me up. So many of us start drinking energy drinks every other day, daily, or even more frequently. It’s not healthy, this is a better alternative unless proven scientifically otherwise.
