Ginseng Energy Drink, Zero Added Sugar, 8.4 Fl Oz (24 Cans Per Pack)

It's gold.

This company lost my shipment 2 times. I ordered this and love the drink. Then I ordered it and never received it and after asking for a refund and ordering it again a few weeks later it was never received again. Great drink, bad service.

Overall this is a pretty good drink. It has a pleasant taste and isn't overly carbonated so it goes down pretty smoothly. I'm not even that crazy about pear as a flavor but this taste very good.I personally wanted to try this out because I had traveled to Seoul a few months back and people were really boasting about Korean red ginseng for it's health benefits (which I think is just a gimmick but I figure it doesn't hurt to try and see how I feel when consuming it daily).Energy wise I notice a small boost but its probably not as effective as other energy drinks if you are used to drinking the big name brands such as Monster, Rock Star, or Red Bull. The caffeine content of the 8oz can is 50mg which is slightly less caffeine than a 12oz can of Mt Dew which is 54mg. For reference Red Bull has 77mg for 8oz, Monster has 81mg per 8oz, Rock Star has 80mg per 8oz, Prime has 120oz per 8oz, and a cup of coffee would be 80-100mg per 8oz depending on the roast. Monster, Rock Star, and Prime come in a bigger cans so you are getting much more caffeine if drinking a full can.Value-wise this isn't terrible but also not great. My purchase was roughly $45 for 24 cans which breaks down to about $1.80 per can. If you buy energy drinks at gas stations then this is comparable to a single 8oz red bull, however; a 24 pack of 8oz Red Bull on Amazon, right now, goes for $37 which breaks down to about $1.54 per can. A 24 pack of 12oz Prime energy drinks goes for $30 which breaks down to $1.25 per can but for 4oz more of drink in each can.

High fructose corn syrup is carcinogenic and it does not belong in any of our food or drinks. It causes diabetes and cancer. I love ginseng drinks but I will not be buying this brand again because they seemingly do not care about what they put in their drinks.
