Title: try this for quick caffeine
Post by swimchica623 on Jul 29^th, 2007, 12:19pm

Red Bull usually works pretty well for me, but I can't stand the taste. I'm pretty fond of those crystal light packets that you mix up with a bottle of water, so I just tried mixing a packet designed for 16oz of water with about 1oz and took it with a taurine capsule designed for immediate release. Not sure if the taurine acted quick enough though. But I got 120mg of caffiene into my system (Red Bull is 80) in 1 second! It was incredibly strong and not the tastiest, but it seemed to work within about a minute unless it was coincidence...I had been on o2 for about 15 minutes when I tried becaue that is when I start trying other things because maybe its one of those times o2 doesn't work.
Just passing it along...would like to see what others think about it....

I really dont have much exper.on this at all....since we are on the subject of redbull,last night was my first try with it,i was buying some smokes at a 7-11 when i felt a visit comming on.....I was not sure which one to buy(sugar or sugar free)anyways i got 1 of each and guzzlled both as fast as possable (the first 1 exploded all over my chest and crotch,as i was doing this in my car,the same way as if you were to shake a can of soda and then open it) appr.1/3 of the can.....As far as any results :( :(....i waited about 20 miutes or so and decided it was time for oldfaithful ( inj. it ) 10 minutes later all gone :) :)

Great idea, everything helps. Something else I tried which also seemed to work quite successfully was Bioplus, the effevescent one. It also contains bucket loads of cafiene and, taken with a Taurine capsule worked quite successfully. The thing I like about the RB is that its imminently portable and available immediately without having to mix anything, find a glass etc.

Lenn,it doesnt matter whether you use the sugar free or normal type, they both contain the same caffiene and taurine and those are the important things. Sorry it didn't work for you though.
