C4 Performance Energy Variety Pack Caffeine 200mg Sugar Zero NSF (3 Boxes, 24 Count)

These are great for the cost. The taste is on point. It dissolves well in water (the clumping is not an issue) and it is just as strong as the canned version. It will require a bit of shaking, as it does not stay in a perfect powdered form while in the packs. The individual packs themselves are pretty strong and it takes some force to poke a hole in it, making it ideal to throw in a go bag with random items without fear of easily being punctured. I have gone out of my way to tell friends about this product. I am very pleased with it, and purchase repeatedly.

I love the convenience of the packets and the variety. It takes the guess work out of scoops, where I generally would over-scoop (because I wanted to). They are so easy to use, as soon as I wake up, I fill my water bottle and open a pack and am off to the gym about 30 minutes later. They give me good energy without any jitters. It's also nice to bring on vacation when coffee may not be easily available, it's a quick way to get a nice caffeine jolt on the go!

Product seemed stale and did not mix well in water. When I opened the packet, which itself was hard as a rock, it was full of large hard clumps which just sat in the water bottle and never dissolved. When I checked the other packets in both boxes I ordered, I discovered they all felt roc hard. Not sure if moisture seeped in somehow but quality control sure needs to pay attention to this. Basically wasted my money, will not be ordering again

I tried these for two reasons - one, they are less expensive per serving than the canned drinks and two, I could order the equivalent of 3 or 4 cases without making my mail carrier tote around really heavy boxes or having to deal with leaky cans (which has happened to me more than once). I found the product mosly tastes like C4's canned drinks with a fairly high sweetness level, and I've found the beta alanine gives me the tingly sensation that can often be a side effect but it doesn't bother me. I often have a serving before running, and the tingly sensation convinces me that the beta alanine might actually be doing something. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I found that the mix sometimes does not want to totally dissolve in very cold water, like water out of the fridge - sometimes, there would be little crystals left over in the bottom of the bottle.

Works great! Super convenient way to carry caffeine with flavor and beta-alanine and use it when you need (long runs, bike commutes, packing light for a long shift). The orange flavor is very hard packed and so it’s a little harder to get out of the packet, and takes a little extra shake, but flavor is still fine. Just bought my second set, it’s a deal compared to the cans.
