    As a caffeine connoisseur, the “high end” energy drinks designed as pre-work out are all sugar free to prevent the terrible crash & stored sugar energy reserves. Was a night and day difference when I switched.

    Bang, Reign, & C4 are the dedicated brands, Rockstar X-Durance is another popular one.

      I like NOS, personally. But it bugs me so much how their sugar free version isn’t just sugar free; it’s also a completely different flavor and tastes horrible. The normal version tastes like nectarines or something. The sugarless one tastes like orange juice that’s been carbonated but with nothing to cut through the bitterness of the carbonic acid.
