Review: One A Day Energy Advantage Multivitamin Drink Mix

I have to admit right off that I only bought this powder multivitamin because it was on sale and I had a coupon, which made it much cheaper than actual vitamins. Now that I have been using it for a few weeks I am really glad I gave it a try.

One A Day Energy Advantage2O is a powder form multivitamin that claims to boost energy levels and keep you mentally focused. You simply open a bottle of water, take a sip, and then pour in the little packet of powder and shake. There are 12 packets in each box and the price is around $10 a box.

One A Day Energy Advantage2O definitely gets my vote of approval. Just remember that it has a full day's supply of vitamins so you can't drink more than one a day. That makes it so much more than an energy drink!

What You Need to Know:

• Taking the sip before pouring in the powder is very, very important! You could find yourself standing at the sink as your vitamins bubble up underneath the cap, which you have closed down in despearate attempt to stop the overflow of good stuff into your sink. Not that I would know or anything ;)
• If you don't shake it up very, very well it has a very sharp medicine-like taste. Instead of an aftertaste, it has more of a pre-taste with the lemon-lime flavor kicking in after. If you shake it very well and use very cold water it doesn't taste half bad, but it is definitely a taste you may have to get used to.
• Drink it with or after a meal! When I drink it on an empty stomach my head feels kind of floaty and I am all jittery, like you get when on caffeine spiked diet pills but not quite as bad. With food in the tummy I just have a nice surge of manageable energy that lasts for a few hours.
• The energy does not suddenly drop off like some other energy products I have tried. It gives a slow coming down period which is quite nice.

I learned all those things the hard way, but now you won't have to :)

Great uses for this product:

• Right before a workout so you can go longer with more energy and burn more calories
• In the morning if you are struggling to wake up
• In the mid-afternoon or other time of day when you typicaly hit a slump
• It does seem to help me focus more while working, so it could be taken for that benefit as well.
