Universal Kwik Energy Supplement Review

Is it just me or is there a serious shortage of physical and mental energy going around? I don't know if I just have a fatigue problem or is everyone else drained as soon as they wake up everyday, too? Physical fatigue is bad enough, but being a freelance writer seems to deplete any mental focus or energy I do accumulate. 
 
Needless to say, I'm a caffeine addict who's always looking for an energy supplement or energy drink to pick up both my physical and mental energy. With that said, I came across a new supplement that sounded promising -- called Universal Kwik Energy -- and after spending a good month using it, I thought it's high time I put my results in a review.

Universal Kwik Energy is basically an herbal energy supplement. The tablets combine anhydrous caffeine with energy-boosting herbs like guarana seed powder, kola nut seed powder, and cocoa bean extract. 

Guarana seeds, used for their stimulating effect, contain about twice as much caffeine as coffee seeds. 

Kola nut is a light stimulant that increases endurance and reduces appetite. 

Cocoa bean extract contains caffeine and may improve cognition and blood flow.

Caffeine Anhydrous is basically caffeine in powder form.

         Pro's:

•  Reliable -- They seems to work even after regular use. 

•  No major crashing 

•  Steady energy -- no intense ups and downs 

• Great price for such a 60-day-supply (currently less than $10 for 60-day-supply at eVitamins)
  

• Made in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Process) facility

        Con's:

• Contains a substance known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm (California Residents Proposition #65 Warning)

•   Some days I needed a second dose to keep myself going.

•   Contains artificial coloring (Red #40)

    Detailed Account of My Results

 To elaborate on some of the points above, I'll start with the first point: Seems to work even after regular use. 

I've taken the Universal Kwik Energy tablets for about two months. One of my biggest concerns with energy products is that they often quit "working" with regular use. For example, the first time you drink a Red Bull you get wings, right? But after drinking them daily for a week or two, the effects seem to decrease, and suddenly it's not giving you wings anymore.

I've taken a two month supply of these Kwik Energy tablets (60 servings/tablets) in about a month in a half's time (taking two tablets daily sometimes). The results didn't diminish. Each time I took a tablet, the effects were noticeable. 

About the artificial coloring: 
I listed the Red #40 ingredient as a "con" because it's possibly harmful and some people, like my s/o are unable to take this due to having an allergy to the artificial dye Red #40. 
Who cares what color the tablet is, anyway?


How long does the energy last? 

I would have an energy boost for a steady 2-3 hours after taking one. The energy probably lasts as long as any energy supplement, but there were times when my energy would be depleted by late evening and I'd just take second dose to get myself back up and running.


I love that these tablets provide a steady energy boost for a few hours at a time without a major crash when it wears off. Note: Everyone's results can vary. If you normally crash from caffeine, then you should probably expect a crash to some extent from these too. 


Ingredients: 

 Caffeine Anhydrous      (250 mg)
 Kola Nut Seed Powder (50 mg)
 Cocoa Bean Extract      (50 mg)
 Guarana Seed Powder (50 mg)

Other ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline celluose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, red #40.

Overall Rating:  4/5 Stars
 
The Universal Kwik Energy tablets reminded me of an old energy supplement I used to take religiously (called Motivation) until I couldn't find them anymore, so this quickly became my favorite. 

However, when I read the label and saw that this supplement contains a substance known to cause reproductive harm or birth defects, it was extremely off-putting and worrisome.

How One Supplement Can Improve Every Move You Make

I've been taking this AminoHD 1000 supplement daily -- thanks to the kind folks at Summit Nutritions who allowed me to use the supplement alongside my everyday exercise routine in exchange for a review and my thoughts on how the supplement worked for me personally. 

AminoHD1000 is very popular among athletes, but I'm finding that it also has its place in the lives of folks like myself who are far from athletes, but maintain some level of exercise or daily activity.

Not only for exercising, the supplement contains vital amino acids that are promote healthy cells. 

You see, AminoHD1000 helps the body in many ways aside from just aiding in your muscle-building desires. I will be discussing all the workings of this supplement in the review below.

 

About Amino Acids:

Aminos are important for the health of cells and speedy recovery and growth.

 

Not only are they integral to cell health and speedy recovery and growth; free-form BCAA does not get stuck in the liver, but is delivered straight to the muscles

AminoHD 1000 is manufactured from 100% amino acids and vegetable capsules. That's it. All that takes off for your muscles is "the raw material for muscle-building."

Studies Show:

- Leucine [#1 Ingredient in Amino HD 1000] caused a 145% boost of protein synthesis vs 41% boost with exercise alone - A 105% increase! (Pubmed Article: PMC2706121)

- BCAA Supplementation created a 17.2% greater resistance to fatigue over a placebo. (Pubmed Article: 21297567)

•  Very Safe: Free of excipients, yeast, gluten, preservatives, binders, fillers, artificial ingredients, egg soy, starch, wheat, and sugar.

• AminoHD 1000 is useful in improving energy, stamina and endurance levels.

• BCAA's (Branch Chain Amino Acids) help prevent muscle break-down. 

• BCAA's along with amino acids help promote fat loss.

• No-questions-asked 100% money back guarantee

Close up

Bottle comes with a nice, long-term supply of 450 capsules (2 caps daily is recommended)

Note: It's important to keep in mind, as the manufacturer of Amino HD 1000 - Diet Standards - has warned, "supplements are not a wonder drug."

 

You won't wake up tomorrow looking like an NFL linebacker. But supplementing properly just might give you that extra edge. Hugh Jackman's trainer put him on 5-10g of BCAAs Pre & Post Workout for his (mostly shirtless) roll in X-Men Wolverine...and look how that turned out!"

My Experience using AminoHD 1000

There are a few notable effects that I've experienced while using this supplement so naturally, I was compelled to document and share these things. These are all explained below and as I continue using this supplement, I will update as any new changes or effects take place.

• Increase in Endurance

The very first effect I noticed after using AminoHD 1000 was a significant, very noticeable increase in my endurance levels. 

On the second day of taking AminoHD 1000, I was exercising when I noticed that I was performing exceptionally better than normal. I was really utilizing all of my muscles as I followed my typical ab and lunge/squat routine. Whereas I am usually fatigued and have to stop to breathe every 80-100 reps for the ab workout, I was feeling the "burn" far more than I normally do (because I was putting all my muscle effort in) and still reached 250 reps before having to pause for a breath!

I also performed my lunges and squats a little more efficiently than I normally can stand to do. I do not enjoy the weak, shaky, unstable feeling in my thighs that result from lunge or squat workouts. It's not satisfying to me, and when I notice that almost achy burn in my thighs during exercise, it irritates me greatly. 

In fact, the only thing that's ever been a struggle for me when it comes to sticking to lunge/squat exercises is that stupid intensity in my thighs. 

I don't intend to include any additional thickness or muscle in my thighs at the moment, so it bugs me that I feel them getting the majority of the workout when I'm lunging/squatting because I do those exercises for other reasons, not for my thighs!

Anyways, I was able to tolerate that irritating thigh-burn far longer than I normally can when I started taking this AminoHD supplement.

4 Days in: I just took my nightly dose of AminoHD 1000 a couple hours ago and then began my regular ab exercise routine (it's an ab-only focus day today. No lunges or squats, just abs.) and as I type this, I'm still feeling a hint of that left-over satisfaction deep within the muscles of my abdomen --  That slight sensation in the muscles that tell you you really worked those suckers well! I love when I can feel that I did well.

Update One Month Later:

It's been a month since I began taking the AminoHD supplement on a daily basis and I couldn't be more pleased with this supplement. While there aren't any super hulk results to be expected, I'm impressed with the health benefits I'm continuously receiving from taking these. It's also worth it to know that this is helping to support my muscles and amp up the progress I get from exercise.

All in all, it's one of my daily "must take" supplements, along with my multi-vitamin and a few other very vital minerals/vitamins and herbs. This is one I've been able to stick with and will for the long term due to the very broad benefits.
