DynaPep Energy Micro-Shot

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

DynaPep Energy Micro-Shot Retail Package Description

DynaPep's blister pack is most accurately comparable to classic Hot Wheels packaging. Anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to acquire a Hot Wheels car will most likely remember that Dukes of Hazard car, ambulance, Lamborghini Diablo, or whichever car you acquired, seeming to float provocatively behind that bubble of plastic. You were only a cardboard tear and a thumb press through the cardboard remnants away from your destiny. DynaPep's packaging replicates this experience perfectly. The package is easily opened in the same manner, then the top twists off the micro-shot, and you're enjoying hours of energy. While it is a equally as fun as you remember to unpackage two DyanPeps and ram them together on your desk while making engine noises with your mouth, some of your ho-hum coworkers may files claims with your superior that this behaviour is distracting, and somewhat frightening. The cardboard portion of the packaging is purplish and covered in FLAMES! The top contains the red and yellow DynaPep logo. The yellow text on the front reads, "Energy Micro-Shot. Time Released Supplement". The white text on either side of the DynaPep micro-shot reads, "World's First SuperCharged Energy Micro-Shot", the right side says, "No Sugar, No Calories (which is a lie, based on what the back of the package), No Crash". There's an American Flag in the bottom left, and an "As Seen on TV" (which normally means "doesn't work" to me, but now that I've seen ShamWow, Snuggies, Oxi Clean, and the Swivel Sweeper on TV I know it means "quality") in the bottom right. The back contains nutritional information and a statement that hasn't been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, which reads, "Directions: Take 1 DynaPep super-concentrated Micro-shot. Do not exceed 2 in one day. Do not take on an empty stomach. Take 1 DynaPep super-charged Micro-shot directly or add to water or beverage." Then a warning, "Warning: Not for use by children under 18 years of age. Consult a physician before taking this supplement. Do not take if pregnant or breastfeeding. No not take with prescription drugs or over the counter drugs containing ephedrine or pseudo-ephedrine derivatives. If you have a history of medical conditions including blood pressure, diabetes, or heart-related conditions, consult a physician."

Caffeine Addict's DynaPep Energy Micro-Shot Review

I got an email from Lisa Krinsky about a month ago, and we agreed to review this product. After it was in our hands, and we'd read the information, we spoke with Lisa again. We'd not written a review for the product, but Lisa was interested in ad space on the site. Before making any commitments, I looked over the DynaPep website. Apparently, Lisa is the CEO of Intocell (maker of DynaPep) and winner of about 5 billion awards for entrepreneur and business woman of the year. I thought, "What kind of award-winning CEO wants to advertise on a site that's yet to make public its thoughts about the product?". The answer is, a CEO that is confident in the product, and that confidence is not misplaced. Intocell was fonded in 2007, and already this product is in a ton of convenience stores and drug stores, including Walgreens, Hess, and GNC. So, enough accolades about Lisa Krinsky and her prodigy-like business savvy.

I needed to be up early one morning, about 3 hours earlier than usual. This was a fantastic day to become familiar with DynaPep. I put it on my nightstand, since it doesn't need to be served cold. I figured, I could lean over, turn off the alarm clock, grab the DynaPep, and knock it back, all in one motion. Like early iterations of energy shots (the old-fashioned cumbersome 2 fl.oz. kind), DynaPep tastes foul. The taste alone was enough to shock me into the "here and now", fortunately, it's about 1/15th the size, and still isn't as deplorable as some of the 2 oz. shots (namely Screamin Energy Shot and Stacker 2 Yellow Jacket). After the 1/4 of a second that it takes to consume DynaPep, you've got about 10 seconds of regretting it (3 seconds if you chase it with some orange juice) before the tastes subsides and you're ready to depart on your energy adventure.

Srsly folks, it's time to fasten your safety devices and keep hands and arms inside the ride at all times. Within 10 minutes the back of my head was tingling. Like Head and Shoulders, I was pretty sure that's how I knew it was working. While standing in the shower wondering why my non-Head and Shoulders shampoo had instantly become so affective, I realized that my energy level had exceeded my ability to contain it. I longed for possible ways to shower more productively. Why do I need three cleansing products? Can't I just duel-wield bar soap, feverishly scrub myself raw and call it done? I had to get out of that shower, the monotony was stifling. I had to skip rinsing off, water is just too slow. My body yearned to get out and chop wood, wash and wax my car, or simply chew through tanned leather. My mind was racing, and I kept licking the fronts of my teeth, like I'd just been to the dentist. My mouth felt dry, like I'd just awoken from anesthesia. This sensation continued for 6 hours, during which time I genuinely washed and waxed my car. Afterwards, a calm return to normalcy, where I was less aware of the x/y/z coordinates of my bodily parts in relation to the theoretical entirety of space, and the ability to accept my sulky showering regimen.

So, what's the price tag on feeling like Max Payne? Suggested retail is $2.99. Like the union of a bear and muscular man rocket-blasting into space, $2.99 is "unacceptable". So, through the DynaPep website, you can buy 2 of DynaPep for $5.99...but wait there's more...you get 2 more for free. Sweet! So, I can get these for $1.50. Not so fast n00bsauce, shipping to my house is $4.99. So, is this an epic fail? No, add more to quantity and shipping stays the same. Buy 3 for $17.97 (Which equates to buying 6 and getting 6 free...or 12 total) and pay $4.99 shipping and handling. Since most energy shots come in cases of 12, our review price is based on the price of 12, shipped to your door. That's $1.91 each. Buy quantity of 6 (24 micro-shots) and get them for $1.70 each.

DynaPep is the pinnacle of energy liquid portability and convenience. It delivers energy quickly, the sensation is intense, and long lasting. The taste is bad, but at 4ml (roughly 1/8th of a fl. oz.), it's tolerable, and the aftertaste is short-lived. Lastly, the price is acceptable at $1.91 each. This a serious energy drink, and should not be taken lightly like Playskool energy drinks (Red Bull).

Energy Junkie's DynaPep Energy Micro-Shot Review

So I'm sitting at the house and Jason hands me this little ampule and tells me to review it. My first reaction to this was “Hey, when did we start reviewing the latest street drugs?”. After checking out the packaging I saw that this was a supercharged energy micro-shot, the world's first in fact! So I twist of the cap and squeeze the liquid into my mouth. At first I was pleasantly surprised by an atomic fireball like taste. That lasted about 10 milliseconds then I was hit with a very unsatisfactory flavor I would expect from guzzling drain cleaner or some other household cleaner. After looking up the number for poison control and drinking a glass of water, the awfulness went away.

I decided to check out their website to get a little more information. The pictures on the home page consisted of scantily clad women, a super bike, a tractor, a UFC fighter, Ice-T, and a bunch of silly looking dudes. While exploring the site I noticed it hadn't been updated since mid-October. There is a shopping section where you can buy a 2 pack for $5.99 and get a 2 pack for free, but this is your only option. I have never seen this in real life, but the website says they are supposed to be launching in 5,000 stores, they do not say when. Jason says it's already available in 15,000 stores. I did a little more checking on the internets and founds Dyna-pep on Ebay for $29.99 for a box of 36, that works out to about $.83 each, which is a pretty darn good deal in my humble opinion.

As far as energy goes for this product, let me tell you what. I have never been this jacked from anything. It took about 30 minutes before my hair started tingling, and after about an hour I couldn't focus on much of anything for more than 30 seconds. At the 2 hour mark I began to get the shakes and felt extremely hungry, even after following the suggestion on the package to eat something before taking. It is now 5 hours later and I can still feel my hair tingling and it is taking all of the concentration I can muster to finish this review. I don't know if I will come down anytime soon, but I will say it's been a fun experience. I just don't think I would want it to be a daily one.
