If you read the label carefully you'll find it has the equivilant of the caffeine in a strong cup of coffee and 500 mcg of vitamin b-12, and costs around $2.99 a bottle. I found something in an on line vitamin company that has something called "Ener B Shot". It has no caffeine, but has 10 times the B-12 (5000 mcg) per dose. Its a liquid. You take the eye dropper thing thats in the bottle and put the liquid under your tongue for 30 seconds and then swallow it.the bottle has 59 doses and sells for $8.00 a bottle. Each bottle has the equivilent b-12 of 590 bottles of "5 hour energy" The stuff is great. To get the same amount of b-12 in "5 hour" you would have to spend over $1200. Dont want to get into trouble for advertising by telling you the name of the online vitamin company that sells it, but a Google search should put you in the right direction.

And why do you need 5000 μg of B12 when the RDA is 2.4?
5 hour energy has 8333% the RDA - and you need 10x that much?

Back in my training days, my trainer and I ran a dedicated account from Fontana, CA to Phoenix, AZ daily with occasional backhaul. I agreed to run at night everyday. Long story short, I was usually drowsy after 2 hours after taking 5 hour energy. The only caffeine I consume comes from tea and coffee. Energy drinks are not good for the body. Too many chemicals!

There's a study out now that those energy drinks are really harmful to the body.

that doenst work on me at all like most of the eneregy drinks

If I felt tired and needed sleep, I'd just pull over and get in the bunk.
No one ever paid me enough to take that kind of crap or kill myself.
