The onset of these&nbsp;effects is immediate and usually lasts up to an&nbsp;hour. Caffeine is known to give benefits at concentrations as low as 32 mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, XS energy drink contains less caffeine than a cup of coffee. I&rsquo;d say that&rsquo;s enough to get you energized for a few hours but not strong enough to give you jitters or headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA has set a 400 mg daily caffeine intake limit for healthy adults. Going beyond this limit can cause negative side effects such as anxiety, insomnia, and increased heart rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, this limit is an estimate as caffeine can affect us all differently. If you&rsquo;re not used to it, 80 mg can be quite a lot already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount in XS is within the prescribed range and can be consumed in place of highly caffeinated beverages. Here is a video about the standard caffeine limits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Much Caffeine is Too Much?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Yy6jKPBC3U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vitamins-in-xs-energy-drink\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamins_in_XS_energy_drink\"><\/span><strong>Vitamins in XS energy drink<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>XS energy drinks contain B vitamins that aid in the maintenance of our body&rsquo;s energy production process<\/strong>.

It is a natural colourant that dissolves in water and gives a beautiful deep purple colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-xs-safe-to-drink\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_XS_Safe_to_Drink\"><\/span><strong>Is XS Safe to Drink?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All ingredients used in XS energy drinks are safe to consume within the prescribed limits by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/food-additives-petitions\/food-additive-status-list\" target=\"_blank\">FDA.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But according to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/xsgear.com\/learn\/faq\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a> of XS Energy Drinks are not recommended for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/can-you-drink-energy-drinks-while-pregnant\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11863\" target=\"_blank\">pregnant,<\/a> breastfeeding mothers or anyone with a caffeine sensitivity. Caffeine is also not recommended for those under the age of 18 since it can affect children&rsquo;s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you&rsquo;re a healthy adult, you can consume XS in moderation. Do take note that our caffeine tolerance may differ and what&rsquo;s just right for me may be overwhelming for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-xs-good-for-you\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_XS_Good_for_You\"><\/span><strong>Is XS Good for You?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After consuming XS the caffeine will kick in within 15 minutes.<\/strong> It will hit its peak within 1 hour and remains in the bloodstream for a few hours. Even after 5-6 hours, the caffeine remains in the body until it finally exits after a few more hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>XS has plenty of B vitamins they are water-soluble in nature and their <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-many-bang-shots-can-you-drink-in-a-day\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"523223\" target=\"_blank\">excess<\/a> can be flushed out of the body easily after providing its nourishment. Other ingredients give you the power to function for a few hours. XS is keto-friendly and all of its ingredients are gluten-free as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"xs-energy-drink-flavor-review\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"XS_Energy_Drink_Flavor_Review\"><\/span><strong>XS Energy Drink Flavor Review<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1250x938.jpg\" alt=\"XS box and can\" class=\"wp-image-526226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1250x938.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-735x551.jpg 735w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-335x251.jpg 335w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-347x260.jpg 347w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1250x938.jpg.webp\" alt=\"XS box and can\" class=\"wp-image-526226 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1250x938.jpg.webp 1250w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1536x1152.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-2048x1536.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-720x540.jpg.webp 720w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-480x360.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-320x240.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-735x551.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-335x251.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-347x260.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-520x390.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-640x480.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-960x720.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-1080x810.jpg.webp 1080w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-150x113.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_5616-scaled.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Wild Berry<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Tropical<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Root Beer<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Naranja<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Variety Case<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Caffeine-Free Cranberry-Grape<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Classic<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Summit<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Citrus<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Black Cherry Cola<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Lemon<\/strong> <\/li><li><strong>Cranberry-Grape<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Tamarindo<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things that I look for in an energy drink is a wide flavour range. Customers can have different tastes, so I&rsquo;m glad to see brands that are trying to cater to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of XS&rsquo; flavours are fruit-based and for the most part, they did nail the authenticity of the flavours. I particularly liked the lemon flavour. Very crisp and fresh with a dash of sweetness and the trademark lemon-y tartness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tropical Blast is also a fun drink for the summer! Very fruity and refreshing but there is a slight artificial aftertaste that may be off-putting for most people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Root beer is also a stand out among the others. I don&rsquo;t really encounter many root beer flavoured energy drinks, so it was a welcome surprise. It&rsquo;s a lot subtler and darker in its taste, but all in all very appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After drinking one can of XS, I was able to get a decent energy boost that lasted me through the morning and didn&rsquo;t affect my sleep later that night. It wasn&rsquo;t super strong, but that&rsquo;s to be expected since it has low caffeine content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"xs-energy-drink-price\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"XS_Energy_Drink_Price\"><\/span><strong>XS Energy Drink Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One of XS&rsquo; disadvantages is that it can cost you quite a lot. A twelve-pack on Amazon costs $42, meaning one can retails for around $4.50 dollars. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find that very expensive since there are other energy drink brands out there that can offer you the same benefits and flavours with just one dollar per serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing is that Amway, XS&rsquo; manufacturer, is a multi-level company. This means that members buy the energy drinks in bulk and sell them at an increased price to offload their initial costs. So don&rsquo;t be surprised if you see a lot of sellers on eBay or Amazon selling XS at varying prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"alternatives-to-xs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_XS\"><\/span><strong>Alternatives<\/strong> <strong>to XS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/benefits-of-drinking-red-bull\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/benefits-of-drinking-red-bull\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Bull<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-much-monster-can-you-have-a-day\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-much-monster-can-you-have-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\">Monster<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/rockstar-energy-drink-review\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/rockstar-energy-drink-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rockstar<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-bang-energy-have-sugar-in-it\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-bang-energy-have-sugar-in-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bang<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-notable-mentions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_notable_mentions\"><\/span><strong>Other notable mentions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/celsius-energy-drink-review\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/celsius-energy-drink-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Celsius<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/guru-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/guru-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\" target=\"_blank\">Guru<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-xyience-energy-drink-work-answered\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-xyience-energy-drink-work-answered\/\">Xyience<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall, I&rsquo;m giving XS<\/strong> <strong>a 7\/10. I like that it&rsquo;s loaded with micronutrients and has minimal caffeine, calories, and no sugar. This lessens the chances of consumers getting negative side effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its wide flavour range is also great since you can have a lot of options to choose from. The flavours are very close to the real thing except for some hints of artificial aftertaste in some of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The energy boost was nice and I didn&rsquo;t experience any side effects. It&rsquo;s not strong enough for intense gym sessions or anything, but it will get you through your morning. And you know me, I like my caffeine as minimal as possible to stay healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess the downside to XS would be its high price. With each can coming in at around $3 to $4, many of you would find that unreasonable and I can definitely see why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-articles\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_articles\"><\/span><strong>Related articles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/can-you-drink-alani-nu-energy-every-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Can You Drink Alani Nu Energy Every Day?
