you win some, you lose some, but you live to go another day…
In 2004 Manoj Bhargava’s company, Living Essentials LLC, launched a product called “5-Hour Energy”.[5][6][7] By 2012, retail sales had grown to an estimated $1 billion.[5]
A March 2011 article in Consumer Reports reported that, according to a lab test, a 2-US-fluid-ounce (59 ml) 5-Hour Energy contained 207 milligrams of caffeine, slightly more than an 8 US fl oz (240 ml) serving of Starbucks coffee which contains 180 mg of caffeine.[4] (It is not clear whether the “Original” or “Extra Strength” product was tested.) The directions on the 5-Hour bottle recommend taking half of the contents (103 mg of caffeine) for regular use, and the whole bottle for extra energy. A regular cup of coffee has less than 100 mg/250 ml cup.
