Alright ACT energy drink is another drink built on the make a ton of random people sell the product and hawk it to their friends Idea. The problem is some of the drinks using this method are at least kinda decent drinks, so I have to take the time to review them. ACT energy powder was probably the worst powdered drink I have had, so when they came out with a can premixed version I should try it. One of my biggest complaints with the powder was that it didn't mix in well and left a bunch of clumps in the drink. In this sense the ACT energy can is a big improvement. The problem is the flavor is the same, I wonder if they just mix up a bunch of water with the powder and can it, there is still a very powdery medicine taste to this drink. Anyways this is a berry flavor, but it has a weird bitter and bad after taste as well. Sorry act sellers, because I know you will tear me up and be all pissed about the low review, but really have most of you taken the time to taste this product and some of the other energy drinks on the market? Others are good refreshing and leave now aftertaste. This drink leaves an aftertaste that I have to best describe as a while after you have vomited and before you have brushed your teeth. So get a new flavor, a new taste, or try again and I will give ACT another should I would love to like this product because with so many distributors out there wanting to hand out samples I could get an endless free supply, but right now I can barely drink this drink when it is free let alone pay for it. I think giving a 5.25 is being very nice, I just had to say it was a little better than the powder which I gave a 5, best of luck to everyone hit me up when there is a new product from M2c Global to try that I might like.

Dan, Thank you for taking the time to give us your review of the new A.C.T. Energy Drink in the cans. It is true, not everyone likes it especially if they are more interested in something full of sugar and chemicals. For those who are truly looking for a healthier energy drink, this has been a big hit. I like it. I still like the pouches and I think we had determined you hadn't tried the pouches since they changed the formula a few times. Both versions tasts similar to cherry koolaide and I can say that is the same feedback I am getting from other people that try it too. The can does have the same taste with carbonation. About 6 million cans sold in the first 5-6 weeks, so I guess someone out there likes the drink since there have been about 13 different individual orders each for semi truckloads of the cans and more coming in.

I tried A.C.T. and it kept me up all night after drinking it in the morning & afternoon, straight coffee doesn't even do that. Plus, it was stressing my kidneys out. I can't drink carbonated beverages because my kidneys will revolt and after only 2 days drinking A.C.T., I could feel the same thing happening. A.C.T. is not carbonated, so I am not sure which ingredient was the culprit. I have not used a product with Maca Root in it before, although I am guessing it's the synergy of a combination of the ingredients that did it.

Although I agree with most of what has been said already, I have to say that the canned product is better and actually works. I take in the mornign before I start myb day at the office and it keeps me active with out that crash feeling some of the other energy drinks leave you with.
If it sells by the million, I have to say, at least that many people obvoiuly like the drink and/or the effect it produces.
I like the fact that it's pretty healthy, no caffeine and only les than 5gm of sugar.

A.C.T. is the best ALL NATURAL energy drink on the market today. Others will follow soon but they can not beat A.C.T. Sounds like Dan has it out for A.C.T.or maybe he is jeaoulous of A.C.T.

Hello there,
My name is Jim, and personally, I like the taste of ACT in cans, and find this product to be clean and safe. It really works for me. The powder was handy, but dan was right it did not mix well. When I compared ACT in the can to three other major energy drink brands, I found that ACT was way better than the rest, exept for Monster brand. ACT was much cheaper, almost $2 full dollars cheaper in most cases. That is a big deal to me. Taste is a personal thing so everyone should try a taste test for themselves! Also, ACT Energy Drink is coming out with an all NEW taste and a couple new flaovrs later this month. Aparently one of the flovors is similair to Monster brand. Not sure yet.
I bet it will prove to be one of the leading Energy Drink brands world wide, and in a very short time frame too. The positive spin on all this of course, is that A.C.T. is marketed as a home based net-work business, which allows anyone drinking ACT to also make some money, and it stops the giant multi national corporations from making Monster sized profits from the huge billion dollar energy drink market. I know one thing for sure, and that is my friends will support a network seller way before they buy from a 7-1 or walmart store. At leaste with a Network marketer, you know who that person is.

Thanks for the great reviews Dan, hope you give their new products another chance.

Best to you!!!

It is possible though no one can be sure, but there were a few bad batches of product that got shipped out. I had a few dealers contact me to ask me about the cans I have received to inquire if there was anything wrong with them. Dan's comments seem to fit the description of what I was told from these other distributors...so even though I know Dan would be hesitant to do so, trying another can might give you a much more palatable taste. I have lots of cans here and all of mine taste good, I have tested from each batch I have received and no issues here. There is a new flavor coming out soon...

Hey Dan,

I understand your comments and thank you for your honesty. I kind of had the same reaction the first time I tried it as well, but most of that was because of my severe Diet Coke addiction and that I had screwed up taste buds to start with. ACT is fantstic, it is health, it gives fantastic energy and all from a company that people can trust. Read my story and find out why I will never be without ACT, www.dietdrinkaddiction.com
Thanks,
Mike
