58% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I received this product free to review from ChickAdvisor. At first I was a little hesitate on using it because it's like nothing I've ever tried before. I first tried it in water and couldn't finish the glass of water. Then I tried it in orange juice and it was easier to drink but I didn't feel the energy effects from it as it advertised. And it didn't taste good.
Well I can only say the taste did put me off. I did mix with water and or juice and found it best to drink right away. I found I had energy similar to an energy drink but without the nasty side effects you have from energy drinks IE: jittering and heart rate. It's easy to take and with the ampoules easy to take to work etc.
Disclosure: Adrien Gagnon and the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club sent me one box/package of Adrien Gagnon Super Energex to try for free. The review that follows is based on my experience using Adrien Gagnon Super Energex over a 1-week period. #TryAdrienGagnoncie
The review >>
Packaging:
Adrien Gagnon Super Energex comes in a box of twenty convenient 10 mL ampoules. The ampoules can be opened easily without creating a mess. That said, I would trade the convenience of the 10 mL ampoules for more sustainable packaging, such as just a single bottle. It would be pretty simple to pour out a measured amount instead of having all the plastic ampoules to dispose of.
Taste:
The product tasted very medicinal when diluted in a half glass of water. I would have preferred a more fruity flavour. That said, Adrien Gagnon Super Energex tastes okay when diluted in a half glass of orange juice. I found that Super Energex tasted best when I diluted it in a half glass of raspberry orange vegetable juice.
Ingredients & Qualities:
I like the fact that Adrien Gagnon Super Energex is low in calories and it's loaded with vitamins, root extracts, and other natural and healthy ingredients.
Performance/Effectiveness:
I think that the effectiveness of Adrien Gagnon Super Energex for its price point is the product's biggest strength. After consuming Super Energex with my regular breakfast, I did feel more energized and alert within half an hour of consuming the product. My body felt a little more relaxed. My muscles were less tense and I felt a little lighter on my feet. The most noticeable benefit of Super Energex is that it made my eyes feel less tired. Despite having perfect eyesight, I felt that I could see more clearly. It was certainly easier to maintain my mental focus over a longer period of time. All in all, Super Energex seemed to support my energy for at least 6-8 hours after I consumed the product. Perhaps the benefits of using Super Energex would have been more noticeable if I had used the product over 4 weeks instead of only one week.
The Verdict:
If the packaging for Adrien Gagnon Super Energex was more sustainable and its taste improved then I would consider recommending it to others.
I definitely thought I had a bit more energy after trying these. The tip to add to OJ was a great suggestion and was how I enjoyed them. Easy on the stomach too and effective. I enjoyed them after working out. Was a nice boost to the system after a run or cycle class and perfect for those moms on the go. I would buy again.
The first time I tried this product, I was shocked by its strong smell and taste. I could not take it down with just plain water - it made me want to throw up. Drinking it with orange juice was a better combination, but still not pleasing to my taste buds. I have noticed slight improvements in my energy level as a result of this product - I am able to power through my workouts. Overall, while this product is somewhat effective, I would not recommend it due to its awful taste.

I received samples of Energex through the Chick Advisor Product Review Club & was pretty hesitant to use them. The tubes reminded me more of a lab experiment than a food product. Everything about them seemed like medicine more than anything else. The appearance, packaging, colour, smell, taste, the 'consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 1 month' note - everything about it was odd. The scent & flavour wasn’t particularly bad, just really weird. Once I tried to get over the initial strange 1st impression & tried to focus on the results, I’m still a little uncertain of my opinion. I almost never drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages, so I have very little tolerance to energy-inducing ingredients. Therefore it’s hard for me to compare, but I did notice a pretty quick spike in alertness. I wasn’t fond of it as it felt like a dirty energy & I thought I would crash hard after. Thankfully it tapered down much slower than expected, but I have no intention of continuing to use it this product.
This product actually works great! I love the fact that it's natural and not just a bunch of sugar. I normally drink energy drinks which give me the shakes, too much energy and I feel very uneasy but with this product I felt energized without all the other side effects. I would however suggest using it in juice and not water, it tastes kind of awful in just water. But overall loved it and would buy in the future!
I received this product from Chickadvisor for review purposes. I did not enjoy using it, nor did I notice any benefits or changes whatsoever. First of all, the taste and smell is quite off putting and I would rather take my vitamins in a pill or get them naturally from food. Also, it made my pee green and gave it a weird odour. I would not recommend this product to any of my friends or family.
My first impression of Super Energex was not a good one. When I opened the capsule the liquid sprayed all over my face! I was on a detox, and I wasn't sure if it was detox friendly, as I'm pretty sure there is sugar in this but it's not listed in a nutrition breakdown. My first impression of the taste was very caramel - but more like burnt caramel. I didn't really like the taste very much. Next I noticed that this drink was really dehydrating, mid way through the drink I felt more thirsty than ever! My energy level was good, but I would not get this again because it most likely has sugar and because of how thirsty I felt while drinking it.
The vitamins and ginseng in Super Energex boosts your overall vitality. I found it a bit bitter and, although it indicates that it has an orange flavour to it, I was unable to detect it. I prefer adding apple juice to it and I found that it is more tasteful if consumed on the cool side.
The ginseng is beneficial in improving mental alertness and strengths you physically. I found this to be true with Super Energex. It gave me renewed energy. I also enjoyed a better sleep, less fatigue - what a
difference!
I am happy to see that the ampules are plastic, you can carry them with you, if need be, without worrying about breakage.
