SPORTS DRINKS AND ENERGY DRINKS

I am wanting peoples input on which brand they think is best priced and works really well.

we want to import sports and energy drinks from SA but there is so much variety need to narrow it down.

Thanks very much.

From experience, USN Spike works magic. Bought 3 of them and helped me stay awake for 4 days - mad project at varsity. Stopped then cause started getting chest pains though

From a sports energy drink point of view there are only 2 choices. Hammer and powerbar. Unfortunately they are both american. The local brands dont hold a candle to these brands, not by a million miles

Are they alot more expensive than the local ones? I am trying to bring in a brand that can compete against USN, redbull etc.....

As for sports drinks powerade and energade are fine. Monster has some nice energy drinks.

Unfortunately they are alot more expensive. They are world leaders in their field and cant be compared to mickey mouse brands. They dont make something like redbull. There is a commercial energy drink in the USA called gatorade. It should compare to something like energade and powerade. Maybe try investigate if yo can bring that in

Dude I live in a very small town and they stock Monster products in our Pick n Pay, not expensive. So it can't be that difficult to get hold of it through suppliers or whatever. I guess if you contact Monster they could tell you who are the SA suppliers.

Just a small bit of advice, never drink a monster with Heat. I nearly died!

I once drank a red bull with one heat and 40mcg clen, it was awesome for the first two hours, best cardio workout ever but needed to nap for an hour afterwards, it was a once off thing though
