ON Amino Energy Review

                I have tried three out of five flavors. The five flavors consist of Watermelon, Fruit Fusion, Orange Cooler, Blue Raspberry and Grape. I have tried Orange Cooler, Grape and Fruit Fusion. The three flavors were drinkable but I found the Orange Cooler and Grape to be a little better tasting whereas the Fruit Fusion tasted a little powdery, even after mixing it up well. Also, drinking down the Fruit Fusion one too fast would make me feel nauseous sometimes.

 I would only use one scoop although they recommend two scoops. Just one scoop kept me energized for eight hours.  Other pros with this is that unlike Red Bull, soda pops or coffee, it has only 10 calories and never made me crash.  It does take about 15 to 20 minutes to fully kick in for me but I do start feeling a little more energetic 10 minutes after consuming it. I do not drink soda pop or coffee so really the only caffeine I ever get is from this so it does make me feel a little hyper at times, which is to be expected from a person who doesn’t normally intake caffeine.

However, my mother, who regularly drinks coffee and soda pop, did not feel jittery from it. The nice thing about this is that the caffeine from this product comes from green tea and green coffee which again, is a healthier alternative than getting caffeine from coffee or soda pop. I also feel jittery from it as I don’t drink it every day and only use when I need an energy perk, from either having to stay up late to do work or if my insomnia acts up and causes me to not get any sleep the night before. Another benefit from this product is I found that it put me in a better mood.

 It recommends not drinking this after 5 and normally I follow that rule if you have trouble sleeping, only drinking this after 5 once, due to the fact that I knew I was going to have to stay up later than usual, just to give me some extra energy that night to finish up work. I definitely recommend this for college students, as they tend to rely on soda pops like Pepsi and Mountain Dew, coffee, sports drinks like Gatorade or energy drinks like Red Bull and 5 Hour Energy to make it through, only to crash. This is a much healthier alternative. It may cost more but it is definitely worth it, especially when you’re getting something that has a larger serving size so you don’t have to constantly keep buying a product over and over, meaning this product will last you longer, in regards to uses. I will state that as a con, however, is that every time I have bought the product, it would only be half full, once even less than half full, something that for what you are paying for, should be filled almost nearly to the top instead.

I do plan on trying all the flavors eventually. However, I have been having trouble finding the Blue Raspberry flavor in stores. I have yet to see it there yet and have only managed to find it online.

PLEASE NOTE: This is just how it affected me. Different products affect people in multiple ways so it may not have the same effect on you as it did me.  Also, while they recommend this product for workouts, I have yet to use it for that purpose so I don’t know how it will affect me or any other person, when using it for that.

                Pros:

·         Lightens my hair

·         Takes away the dullness, making my hair seem more shiny and vibrant

·         Makes my hair look healthier

·         Allows me to do more with my hair, whereas before I could only do so much with my hair to make it look decent

·         Less bad hair days

·         Less tangles, found my hair easier to brush after showering and lost less hair from brushing it

·         Makes my highlights last longer which means I don’t have to highlight my roots as much anymore, which used to be a few times a year.

·         Smells good

·         Less expensive than other brands and just as effective (Definitely less expensive than Clairol Shimmer Lights)

·         Easy to lather

·         Left my hair soft after brushing

Cons:

·         Burns my eyes

·         A little drying but not nearly as bad as regular shampoos I have used in the past.

PLEASE NOTE: This review is just based on my experience with the product. It could affect others differently, depending on your hair type and how much you use it every week. I used it twice a week, per the suggestions I received of using purple shampoo only 1-2 times a week. Additionally, I do not know what will happen if you use too much or leave it in too long as I avoid that. From what I have been informed, you should never leave in purple shampoo for no longer than five minutes, so I am unaware of how it will change your hair color or affect your hair if you do not follow that simple rule. Also, I am unaware of how the product works with the conditioner as I have only tried the shampoo, opting to use regular conditioner with it instead, occasionally (Herbal Essences Honey I’m Strong/ Herbal Essences Hello Hydration). Also, I have only used conditioner with this product a few times as I only condition my hair once a week, due to it being so thin.
