    Well it doesn't contain Dihydrogen monoxide, that stuff is seriously scary.
    ( @quiksylver296 - mine was not serious!)

    Don't discount the risk of Dihydrogen Monoxide, and its MUCH scarier isomer, Monohydrogen Hydroxide. It has been linked to every death ever known, some people have died as a direct result of using it, and even worse, it's an ingredient in so-called non-alcoholic "beer".

    @quiksylver296 My sarcasm must be off today!

    I work a first shift job 5 days a week and have a lot of after work things going on with two young children , when it comes to around 8 pm when it's time to walk/jog/ exercise I have no energy to spare. Is the green tea store bought or tea bags?

    Wait, you are drinking caffeine before you are going to bed? I would get little true sleep if I did that. I would rather go to bed and wake up earlier and exercise before work. but that's just me. I'm really susceptible to caffeine. I often eat an apple if I get sleepy on the night shift and get a boost of energy and it does not interfere with my sleep cycle. The sugar content is high though because I get the huge crunchy ones! I'm really not a health nut.

    I want something mid day. I tried green tea when i was off work and feel pretty energized without the 220 calorie energy drink I would normally gulp down. :)

    Caffeine addict here. I drink Monster Ultra Zero - all the caffeine, none of the calories - if that's what you're looking for.

    So the ingredients is just water and caffeine? What about all those mystery chemicals in there? Are they good for you?

    I don't see anything super scary in there...

    I can't pronounce half those words. TOXXXXXXXXXXXXXIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS!

    I'm pretty sure FoodBabe would not approve. I'm sure something in there is used in the manufacture of car dashboards. Do you really want to be drinking car parts?

    Seriously laughed out loud at this-well done sir, well done :)

    Green tea caffeine is theanine, I believe, and has a soothing effect on the nervous system, but helps with energy and clear thinking. You'll have to google that because that's just what I remember about it. But honestly I don't think there is anything wrong with a cup or two of coffee in the morning, the caffeine will be gone by bedtime!

    I really like matcha (powdered green tea).

    Does anyone have a alternative for caffeine or energy that is healthier for you? Has anyone tried Hydroxy-cut?? If so did you like it?

    Vitamin b and of you're feeling sluggish a lot maybe check your iron levels?

    I have a friend who swears by Japanese Green Tea. I drink a supplement called Amino Energy by Optimum Nutrition. It has Green Tea and Green Coffee extract. I normally just drink it when I weight train, but I keep some at work just in case.
