Well priyanka

I think I get the concept behind this drink. If you want to party like a Rock Star then you need to have a Rock Star Energy Drink before you do. Well Rock Stars do like things in excess and Rock Star Energy Drink was the first company to feature the 16 ounce cans, double the conventional size of drinks like Red Bull. Well enough background b.s and onto the review.

I am sure many of you have tried Rock Star just like I have. It does not taste like all the other energy beverages per see, it is citrus based but it also has a kind of apple after taste. One thing it does lack is that conventional medicinal taste that a lot of the original drinks came with. Rock Star also added "Milk Thistle" which is supposed to help with hangovers. I tried it and I don't think it works. I did a Rock Star Bomb after every two beers, after I was done with my 12 pack of Budweiser I went to bed. Yup, I woke up with a hangover. That could have been because I was mixing beer and vodka, or it could be because I am getting old. Either way this drink tastes pretty good, with or without the alcohol. I will give it 8.5 out of 10.

Because this drink comes in 16 ounces it packs quite a bit of kick. It has 9.38 milligrams of caffeine per ounce. 16 ounces = about 150 mg of caffeine. When you compare that to other energy beverages like Red Bull 150 mg’s of caffeine equates to quite a substantial amount, but nothing over the top. I will give the Rock Star review for kick a satisfactory 8.0. Not the best, but not too shabby. It can give you a kick that should last around 4 hours.

Tastes pretty good, gives a decent kick and comes in 16 ounce cans and only costs about $2.00. When you put all of the satisfactory elements together into a cheap energy beverage like this it turns out to be well worth it. I would recommend buying this because you get a good tasting kick for the money. I will give it a final judgment of 8.8.

Rockstar contains caffeine, which is an adinocine receptor blocker. By blocking adinocine, (which slows cells down and prepares you for sleep) from there receptors in the brain by replacing them with trimethylaxine (which speeds cells up), you get hightened metabolism, alertness, and increased reaction times. Trimethylaxine (caffeine) also inhibits non-essential blood flow under the surface of the skin, making more blood ready for the body. It increases the output of dopamine and adrenalin, which gives you the 'rush'.

Thats all rockstar really is. Besides that, there's Tauring, which is a non-essential amino acid responsible for inhibiting the nervous system. This is added to prevent the 'jitters' that caffeine can sometimes give you. Other than these two, there's the B vitamin complex. This is a coenzyme which keeps metabolic functions in the body happening.

well, As the energy drink wave sweeps across the nation, at the same time the hearts of minds of many humans desire to be a RockStar. With this fabulous life comes the exhausting, crazy lifestyle that depends on little sleep and a lot of work. Using the Hollywood image as its theme, RockStar energy drink is a great choice to get a boost while living your RockStar-based life.

Many energy drinks are commonly found hailing the 16 oz., double strength can. RockStar Energy drink so happens to be one of these. They claim to be "bigger, faster, and stronger" than the other energy drinks. It is supposedly the most powerful energy drink available, using the potent herb Milk Thistle as its claimed big-kick ingredient. The can is detailed in black with gold and red letters, giving it a classy, Hollywood feel. The front decal is a gold star, typical to ones you would see on a dressing room door. The pull tab is red with the top of the can being a bronze/gold tint.
Rockstar Energy Drink: The Taste

Upon taking your first sip of this claim to fame drink, you may think two things. Rockstar may not be as sour as other drinks, but has more of a berry/fruity taste. There is a strange aftertaste also that many people may not prefer. The first swig of this drink is not what you should judge it by. First impressions are definitely false with energy drinks. By your third or fourth swig, Rockstar may grow on you.

Since Rockstar is claiming to be the most powerful energy drink available, be careful. It comes in a 16 oz. can, packing two servings. One full can may not be beneficial for your health if you don't watch it. RockStar is not recommended for those who are sensitive to caffeine. It isn't recommended for children, or women who are pregnant or nursing. If you do not fall into any of these categories, feel free to dive right in to get a taste of the Hollywood life.

RockStar Energy drink comes highly recommended here at FactExpert.com. If you are sceptical about it, ask your friends or look at some reviews online. The best way to see first-hand is to try it yourself! You can find these at large gas stations, depending upon your location. Take a swig and you will soon be on your way to getting a boost from RockStar Energy Drink.

well;
Rockstars and any other energy drinks are not good for you. Alot of energy drinks contain extreme amounts of caffine and other things like: taurine,guarine, and ginsing. Not saying these things are bad for you. They are not good for you though. Dont be worried about any side-effects unless you are allergic to any of these ingredients.

Rockstar (www.rockstarenergy.co.uk) is currently being rolled out across the UK, and is a well established brand in the USA. It is an energy drink containing the usual suspects of caffeine, taurine and guarana as well as ginseng, ginkgo and milk thistle and energy-boosting B vitamin complexes.
Advantages: Great controlled release of energy, tastes great, looks cool

Disadvantages: Not widely stocked; may be too much caffeine for some

Sometimes energy drinks, especially the diet versions, can taste very synthetic and chemical sweet.Sugarfree Rockstar tastes almost smooth - none of that horrible sharp chemical sweetness, this stuff is GOOD! Much better than sugarfree Red Bull.The taste is broadly similar to Red Bull but much smoother and slightly sweeter - not in a sickly way though.

these energy drinks are nothing but caffiene With a PUNCH of side doses of a lot of other type of stimulants (e.g. Taurine, yellow 5) even though yellow 5 has yet not been proven harmful but studies suggest that it relates to impotency in the long run, but then again there haven't been very extensive research on this......

The burst of energy comes primarily from caffeine, but energy drinks are also loaded with sugar. Sugar comes in the form of glucuronolactone, sucrose, and glucose. Some drinks also contain an extract from guarana seeds which works to stimulate the central nervous system in a fashion similar to the way caffeine stimulates the body. Guarana seeds also have thermogenic properties, which increase the body’s metabolism through the generation of heat.

A soft drink usually has 19 to 25 grams of sugar in each eight-ounce serving. Energy drinks on average contain more than this. Red Bull, for example, contains 27 grams of sugar per serving of 250 milliliters (a little over eight ounces). This can be very dangerous, for an overload of sugar can lead to gastric emptying. The body becomes dehydrated, which prevents metabolized sugar from entering the bloodstream. This often results in nausea and vomiting.

energy drinks are like everything else, they're addictive obviously for their attention boosting value, but in the long run I don't think all of that caffiene is doing you any good, especially when caffiene stimulates your circulatory system and affects the heart and makes it pump faster......because of energy boost....
