Review: Absolutely my hero! - Extraordinary. Extreme. My darling hero or I become a hero for others with this shot ! This doesn’t cause any issues of your colon clearing after drinking it but it does boost concentration and energies. I use this for my desk works for my defence and ultra complex issues get easy and I can face anything with courage. It however does stimulates my nervous system like an electric shock and I feel a bit of shaky sensation after a shot like others commented . Slightly scary. Obviously I am not going to use this ultra strong shot except my true necessity. But I am facing the most challenging moment of my life now . The effect is dramatic. I really appreciate the product . My brain works . Hopefully this hardship stops and I turn this to my best opportunity of my life . It doesn’t depress me after use . For sports I use the powder version. When you are hyper challenged and got to face tough situations, and you desperately want to demonstrate your strength. This will help you like a hero to instantly wake you up and make you get focused. The effect lasts long hours for me . I have no issues with sleeping after a shot . But I would use this only when I am hyper challenged. I would not take them regularly as hyper strong to slap my nerves.
Review: Hit a PR after a long plateau - still feeling fresh after the session. - After hitting a slight plateau - I managed to overcome and achieve a new bench PR today. I purchased the Cola flavour and they taste fine. It's slightly concentrated but nothing crazy, I didn't have a sour aftertaste and it went down well. I am someone who has around 3 black coffees a day; with this context, I did not get itchiness or any sort of anxiety/shakes from this. I felt that I could focus on mind-muscle connection more which is a bonus and probably why I managed to hit a PR. The energy boost felt smooth and not a spike. It took around 15 minutes to start kicking in. These work out to be around £1.26 per shot which I think is worth it. Pair it with water + electrolytes you've got a smashing session ahead.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The label looks different compared to the previous one I got, is it still the same OPTIMUM NUTRITION product?**
A: As you evolve, so do we. The part of our mission is to help active individuals better understand OPTIMUM NUTRITION products. Now choosing the right product for you is easier with more visible product benefits, features and flavours on each tub.

**Q: Why my tube is not full to the brim?**
A: Due to vacuum packing some of the tubs may appear to be two thirds full when opened. This is normal as the powder settles and does not impact on or decrease the weight or number of serves listed on the label.

**Q: What is the best way to prepare my sport nutrition drink?**
A: For optimal use, follow serving instructions on pack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy energy shots - great quality and taste
*by M***S on 11 May 2025*

Super handy shot size, to keep in my rucksack, workout bag, or even my car. A good alternative to sugary energy drinks. Consistent quality that you can expect from Optimum Nutrition, which I’ve trusted as my go-to supplement brand for years. The ready-to-drink shots lack some ingredients of powder based pre-workouts, such as creatine, but still provides a decent boost. The flavours are very strong aa expected for a PWO shot but tasty nonetheless.
