58% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor review club.
I was really looking forward to trying this, as I do use energy beverages from time to time when I need a boost.
The capsules are convenient, and quite easy to use. I received them in Orange, and pretty much expected them to taste like orange. They sort of did, but not a lot, and when I followed the suggestion of mixing it in OJ, it turned this nasty brown color that I was having trouble even drinking because it looked so unappetizing. So, only did that once! Plus, since OJ boosts blood sugar, I figured that would also mask the effectiveness of the product, giving it a false positive boost! (which could very well be the case for many who tried it... )
Anyway, I really wanted this to work, so the following couple of times I tried it with water. It worked slightly, and I had more energy than if I went without, but not a whole lot. I also got bad acid reflux 2 of the times I tried it.
Unfortunately, energy drinks on the market, even the sugar-free ones, give me more energy than this did.
Overall, decent price, but "meh" results, when I was really hoping for a phenomenal product.
Note: Effectiveness should've been a 2.5*, but looks like I misclicked :/
I received this product from Chick Advisor to try and review from the product review club. I was really looking forward to trying this as my energy levels have been very low due to ill health recently. First, the ampules are easy to use, but open them slowly, the first one I tried splashed all over my white blouse! I tried them in a 1/2 glass of orange juice, it turned brown, not very appetizing, and no real orange flavour, more like iron pill flavour. I had to plug my nose and gun it to get it down. While I did experience a little lift in energy, I also experienced non stop acid reflux from the bitterness of the product. I would rather stay tired than have reflux 24 hours a day, , so I am giving this product a miss.
I was lucky to receive this product to try as part of the Chick Advisor review club. I was really excited to try this product because I always find that around the afternoon at work, I always start to get tired. I usually just drink a couple cups of coffee, so I was looking forward to trying this product instead. I first just tried it with water, and it was not that great tasting, it left a mediciny taste in my mouth. I also tried it with the recommended orange juice and despite it tasting a bit better, I still tasted the medicine aftertaste. Super Energex also did not really give me any energy in the afternoon, I still felt kinda blah. I think I might just stick to my coffee.+
I received a sample of the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex capsules to try for Chick Advisor and was quite interested to try the product. Like most people I find that I become fatigued during the day and was hoping that the Super Energex would help to give me the promised energy boost. While I might have experienced a minor energy boost after trying the produce daily for a week, it wasn't a big one. Definitely no different than a cup of coffee in the afternoon. Additionally, the product really doesn't taste great, it has a bitter, slightly medicinal taste. Adrien Gagnon suggests mixing the product with a half glass of orange juice (or some other juice) and while that helps with the taste, I found I had a lingering bitter aftertaste that I could not get rid of.
As for ease of use, they are easy to use, you just tear off the top of the pouch and squeeze the liquid 'Super Energex' into your juice or water. It is simple to add to a glass of juice or water in the morning. I also like that the products are natural, but am slightly concerned about their concentration levels as the company warns against using the product for more than 30 consecutive days. A reason behind the warning, would have been nice!
I likely will not be purchasing the product for use for myself, but appreciate the opportunity to test it for Chick Advisor!
Unfortunately I did not enjoy the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex Orange ampoules. Because of the nature of this product, I felt it was difficult to review due to many factors that effect energy levels. That being said, I tried them on a day when I had done 4 hours of exercise and also on a lazy day, and felt no difference in my energy level.
I didn't not enjoy the flavour. It tastes bland. While it is orange flavoured, the directions suggest adding it to orange juice (which I don't drink) and I think that defeats the purpose of being 'orange'. The packaging is also weird and reminds me of those packets of fake blood that you can use for a vampire costume at Halloween.
Overall, I didn't enjoy these and will not be purchasing them in the future.

I received this free from the Product Review Club from ChickAdvisor.
I was really excited about this. I love energy drinks but know how bad they are for me. I also have acid reflux and coffee sometimes makes my stomach hurt alot. So I was looking forward to something giving me energy and keeping me going. I've only tried it once and mixed it with water. The taste is NOTHING like orange. It tastes very medicinal. It was very difficult to stomach. I am going to try it again and mix it with a juice and hopefully it will be better. In terms of energy, I found it perked me up a little but not near what a good coffee will do.
I received this product for free to try and to relay my Honest opinion.
I will be honest, I did not really like this product. Taste was awful. They recommend mixing with orange juice but Even that was not enough. I also did not find much difference in energy. Considering the effort it took to get it down, I don't think I'll be purchasing this product in the future. Disappointed, I was looking forward to this one
I received the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex along with 6 Nutriforme meal replacements for free for my review. Two products, two totally different results. I tried the Super Energex both with water and with juice and felt no change in energy what so ever. I thought that I may need to try it for a week to start feeling a change but I honestly didn't see any results at all, no increase in energy and no increase in mental alertness. The Adrien Gagnon Nutriforme bars on the other hand, love them.
After trying Adrien Gagnon Super Energex for a few weeks now, I can honestly say I feel like I have more energy. The ampoules that the liquid comes in are super small and convenient, so I can easily mix it in with half a glass of water or juice whether I'm at home or at work.
I received a box of 20 ampoules to try and review. I received orange flavour. I did try my first one with water and it was horrid, could hardly keep it down. Next day I tried it with OJ and it was much better and not a bad taste. After 3 days of taking them I find that I did have more energy in the afternoon than usual. On the 4th day I had to change my pain meds and the side effect is tiredness so I stopped taking the supplements and will start again when I no longer take the meds. Not fair to review in this situation. I will up date this review in the future.
It has been a long haul before I could get back to updating this review, I received this product for free as a part of the product review club. It did help give me a little more energy in the afternoons when I usually start to get sluggish. I purchased more have continued to take them .
