Why six hours? 

At E6 Energy, we tend to like simple math. There are 24 hours in each day. 12 of those hours are usually spent sleeping or at rest. The other 12 are when most people try to be more productive. By making an energy shot that lasts for six hours instead of just five, we’ve just done the math… one or two shots to help get you through an entire day!

What makes E6 6-hr Energy Shots last six hours instead of five?

It’s all in our Energy Blend. Specifically, the amount of caffeine E6 Energy has compared to the other leading energy shot brands – 150mg vs. just 30mg.

Do E6 Energy Strips have as much caffeine as the 6-hr Energy Shots?

Each two strip serving of E6 Energy contains 80mg of caffeine, the same amount as a standard cup of coffee. That’s less than the 150mg of caffeine in our E6 6-hr Energy Shots, but because strips absorb into the blood stream rather than go through the digestive system, as liquids do, 80mg can feel like a lot more to the average adult. That’s why we recommend taking one strip for moderate energy; two strips for sustained energy; and we do not recommend taking more than four strips every six hours.

 Will that much caffeine give me the jitters?

It’s true that next to other energy shots and drinks, it appears that E6 Energy might have an excess of caffeine. But, it really does not. The Beverage Industry’s standard average of caffeine content for an 8 oz. cup of coffee is 80mg. So, E6 has about twice that, or two cups of coffee worth. However, an 8 oz. cup of the leading green-labeled premium coffee contains 180mg, according to that company’s website.

That means E6 6-hr Energy shots actually contain a little less caffeine than the smallest available cup of one of the most popular coffees in the world. That’s just enough – when combined with our other B-vitamins, amino acids, and nutrients – to give you that extra energy boost you’re looking for, without getting the jitters.

Since every person’s body chemistry is a little different, if you have sensitivity to caffeine, we recommend only using a half-bottle the first time you try E6 Energy.

When’s the best time to take E6 Energy?

You can use E6 Energy anytime a boost of energy or increased focus is needed. (Use only as directed.)

Who should not take E6 Energy?

Women who are pregnant or nursing; children under 12 years of age; or people diagnosed with phenylketonuria (PKU).

I felt very warm and turned red and itchy when I tried E6 Energy! What happened?

You have experienced what’s known as a “niacin flush.” Some people are sensitive to elevated amounts of Niacin (Vitamin B3). The warm, red sensation stems from the niacin in E6 increasing blood flow near the skin. I’m sure you noticed it going away in a few minutes, and it may not happen again, as E6 contains Niacinamide, a form of Niacin that causes little or no “niacin flush.” To avoid a niacin flush, altogether, try drinking only half a bottle, and save the rest for later.

Have E6 6-hr Energy Shots been approved by the FDA?

The FDA categorizes products like E6 6-hr Energy Shots as “dietary supplements.” Government rules for supplements differ from those established for foods or synthetic medicines. All dietary supplements must comply with DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) regulations for labeling, manufacturing practices, and use ingredients categorized as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). The FDA does not test and approve dietary supplements, as they do with medicines, because their ingredients are already established as safe.
