I was excited for the chance to try this via the Chick Advisor Product Review Club as I frequently suffer from fatigue and would love to increase my energy levels. I was impressed with the ingredient list, particularly the Ashwagandha, which is supposed to help with adrenal fatigue. I admit I did not love the taste of the product! If taking it with water, I had to plug my nose and gulp it down. It smells and tastes like your typical B vitamin mix and I found "hiding" it in my smoothie was best! I did not experience an instant energy rush that others have claimed to, but I imagine my adrenal fatigue will not be cured overnight. Also, I'm not sure why they bothered putting free-form B12 into the mix as it cannot withstand the acid in your stomach. This is why doctors give B12 in the form of shots or recommend sub-lingual supplements for those deficient.
I was excited to see they make an Energex capsule (which I would much prefer to take) but it does not contain the Ashwagandha or the Maca.
At this point, I would only buy the product if I found a super duper sale on it but I think I will continue to look for a similar product containing the ginseng mix (especially Ashwagandha) and the Maca, that comes in capsule form.
Adrien Gagnon, if you are listening, please make this product into capsules! (And don't bother with the B12 since it will be destroyed by stomach acid before our bodies can use it.)

I was excited to try this product. I take a lot of supplements and am always looking for ones to boost my energy.
I didnt mind the taste of this - I just drank it right from the tube.
I didnt notice any difference in my energy though, so I will not be purchasing this product.
I didn't find that it gave me so much energy like it says. I didn't mind the taste. Its actually a convenient method, but I just found that it didn't work for me...
I received this as a sample to test. Honestly I don't find it give you "energy" i'm not a morning person and this didn't really help me become one. I would say that you'd be better of with a redbull or a coffee for energy. Its great if you don't already take vitamins because it's loaded with them. It doesn't taste bad either. Like fake juice? Overall I wouldn't personally buy it but I think it would be good for those in need of a vitamin boost.
I received the adrien gagnon super energex from the product review club. I tried this in water, and it smelt awful, and tasted just as bad. I could hardly stomach it but I did, and I think it does help with energy, but I could not tell a drastic difference. I'll have to try it with orange juice to mask the taste.
Received a free sample of this through the product review club and really wanted it to work as promised. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this product at all. I didn't feel like it gave me any more energy than just a cup of coffee on it's own would. The only effect it had was to give me a slight nagging headache all day. Perhaps with continued use the combination of herbs would work to give you more energy but as a pick me up in the morning it didn't work for me at all.
I like it, taste great. No too sweet. Does it really works?! I'm not sure, I tried and weit for super energy, but nothing really happened . I got extra energy close to evening. Not sure if it's coinsidence , but if I planing to go for run I expecting my energie boost starts in 20-30 min , not 5-7 hours.
I love the idea behind the product,but if i dont enjoy taking it or its unpleasant to use i wont use it despite its results.The capsules tastesd horrible in both water and jucice and i almost gagged after the first time I tried them..I wont be buying this!
Before getting this product, I had very little experience with energy boosting products. I mix one package with a small glass of orange juice in the morning. While I haven't experienced any dramatic increases of energy, I do regard this similar to an vitamin shot. It contains many B vitamins which are water soluble (meaning your body will get rid of what it doesn't need). It also contains ginseng (reduce stress/promote general wellbeing), maca (mood support) and kola nut (metabolism support). I will definitely use the rest of my box of this product.

I didn't find the flavour to be pleasant, the orange juice hides the flavour and that would be the only way I would have it, but even though I felt a bit more energized not sure if I would buy the product, especially because of the after taste. Maybe if it was in a different presentation. Thanks chick advisor for the opportunity to try it.
