With a staggering 300mg of caffeine, it&rsquo;s certain to give you the boost you need (probably more than you need) to get you over the afternoon slump or those late-night study sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But,  you might be wondering how long it takes for Bang to kick in, so you can better plan your work or exercise sessions and figure out the best time to drink a Bang for maximum impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>In short, a regular 16 fl.oz can of Bang usually starts kicking in around 20 to 30 minutes after you drink it and will remain in your system for around 5 to 12 hours, depending on how quickly your body metabolizes caffeine.<\/strong> <strong>The <em>energy boost<\/em> will last around 3 hours before you don&rsquo;t feel much different than before you drank a Bang.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the longer and more in-depth answer, read on for all the information on exactly how you get your energy boost from Bang, as well as whether or not you should be downing an entire can in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Let&rsquo;s get into it&hellip;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

<strong>add anything to your daily caloric intake, but it doesn&rsquo;t exactly provide your body with a viable source of &lsquo;energy&rsquo; either.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being calorie-free, Bang markets itself as a healthier alternative to the other sugary, higher-calorie energy drinks out there on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Bang, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about any additional calories being added to your diet, which makes it a great pick-me-up if you happen to be on a diet or don&rsquo;t want to spoil your appetite for a meal later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a zero-calorie energy drink, Bang helps to keep your daily caloric <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"

doesn&rsquo;t actually provide any actual energy for your cells, which makes it quite a poor substitute for an actual meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, be sure to have a decent meal if you plan on having a Bang, as you&rsquo;re going to need a fair amount of calories to get the full effects of all that caffeine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

caffeine<\/strong>, <strong>which, as the warning label on the can states below, is actually more than 2 cups of coffee&rsquo;s worth of caffeine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s definitely a lot more caffeine in a can as compared to your average energy drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may already know that the general caffeine content for most energy drinks ranges from about 80mg (8.4 fl.oz of Red Bull) to 160mg (16 fl.oz of Rockstar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, it&rsquo;s probably going to be difficult to get used to Bang&rsquo;s high caffeine content, even if you happen to be a veteran energy drink enthusiast, but doubly so if you&rsquo;re caffeine-<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"

target=\"_blank\">sensitive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to caffeine, having more of it doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean it&rsquo;s better for you or more effective, because caffeine affects each of us differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, as someone who usually likes the caffeine content in their energy drinks to be somewhere around <strong>100mg per serving<\/strong>, Bang&rsquo;s rather high caffeine content isn&rsquo;t something I would willingly go for or actually enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are plenty of situations where you might need a 300mg caffeine hit, such as a late-night cram session or a high-intensity workout, so it&rsquo;s definitely a pretty efficient energy drink <em>if <\/em>you can handle all that caffeine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be very sure not to have too many cans of Bang in short succession, because the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\"

Bang has plenty of caffeine in every can, hence why it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from making you feel more awake, caffeine has also been proven to be helpful in improving exercise <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/ijsnem\/19\/1\/article-p61.xml\" target=\"_blank\">performance<\/a> as well as cognitive <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0091305712001980?casa_token=xbotCYb-f9EAAAAA:9oohmk7iqPNME8b_yqFqdh9Kh4LNdZJ9wdqpg0igG7pdqX2dIZazrryCaKpF4HeMQ4UbfEUkL-zV\" target=\"_blank\">functioning<\/a> while its effects last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more detailed discussion about <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-bang-energy-work\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1447\">whether or not Bang ACTUALLY works<\/a>, check out my other article where I go into a lot of detail on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more general overview of the basics of how a typical energy drink works, take a look at the video below.

That said, you should be feeling the effects within the first 30 minutes, if not sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll probably feel &ldquo;maximum boost&rdquo; around 45 minutes after drinking Bang. This is how long it usually takes for the caffeine to be completely absorbed into your bloodstream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that time, the effects will slowly begin to wear off, but it will be quite some time until you no longer feel anything and even longer until all of the Bang is completely out of your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_It_Take_For_Bang_Energy_To_Wear_Off\"><\/span>How Long Does It Take For Bang Energy To Wear Off?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Considering that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK223808\/#:~:text=The%20mean%20half%2Dlife%20of,et%20al.%2C%201989).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">half-life<\/a> (how long it takes for your body to process) of caffeine is around 5 hours, it&rsquo;ll take about 10-12 hours for all the caffeine from Bang to completely leave your system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, while you can find a theoretical answer for how long it takes for the effects of Bang to wear off, you&rsquo;re definitely going to experience some variations as not everyone has the same metabolism and body weight, as stated by this journal article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The mean half-life of caffeine in plasma of healthy individuals is about 5 hours.
