Rating: 3.469 out of 10

Hooah claims to be made by the U.S. Military, "formulated by the military researchers to improve mental and physical performance." Yeah the problem I have with that is it has no caffeine, it is just sugar and carbs, which I guess might be good on a long hike, but it isn't exactly a pump you up and wake you up, this is like a Gatorade fruit punch. It just doesn't have any energy ingredients in the drink, it is a bunch of different sugars and carbs absorbed as sugars like, Maltodextrin, which "Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose." Yeah so this might be good if your going on a run or trying to rehydrate after getting a hang over, but don't expect any more of a energy punch than you would get from Hi C. I love my friends in the military and I am familiar with the Hooah yell, but this drink doesn't contain anywhere near the spirit these men and woman have, it takes the name on as a likely marketing gimmick. I will say they do donate some money by supporting research on safety, diet, and military quality of life, which is a good thing. So I can't completely knock this company, they have their hearts in the right place, but unfortunately they can take pack much of a tropical punch as this drink leaves you flat lined.
