I have a thing with pills that wake me up. My problem is simple - I like to drink my coffee in the morning, or grab an energy drink on my way out the door. But, there are those mornings that that is not enough, or there just isn't time to take care of all the steps involved. that is where Good Morning Pills come in. These little beauties do the job well, and within a half hour can leave you perky, happy and ready to go.
Energy pills have a long way to go to be accepted. Almost everyone puts energy in pill form into the No-Doz category, equating an energy pill with those long nights in college or high school popping those powerful but horrid-tasting yellow pills to stay awake until late into the night. That's not the case here, where Good Morning pills are a brilliant and taste-free way to start off the day.
I found these pills are much better than just something to get you moving in the morning, but a fantastic way to keep your energy up when there is no real room for downing energy drinks. Pills are more portable, have less mess, and don't leave you burping when you have a day of meetings and social stuff. It's nice to just pop a pill and be able to keep going - bouncing throughout your day. I have tried many energy pills over the years, and I would pick up a GMP pill before any of them.
Packaging:9
GMP come in two formulas, both a regular strength and a Turbo combination, both coming in a little easy to swallow gelatin capsule. Both have similar labels, except the turbo has a little happy pill in front who is showing his muscles. I really lim how professional these pills are - looking a whole lot more like your everyday vitamin supplement than your stereotypical energy pills. I appreciate how clan and straightforward the bottles are, and they even list he caffeine content in the nutritional data.
The pills them selves come in unique colors. Rather than the standard white or off-white gel packs, these are either bright yellow (so yellow its actually a little alarming) and the Turbo is black and red - which looks even more dangerous that the bright yellow ones.
Buzz: GMP - Regular Formula: 8 GMP Turbo:10
The regular Good morning pill is a nice dose of all the things you would expect - a nice pile of caffeine, plus your daily needs of vitamin C and B. On top of that they also provide you with L-Carnitine, which we normally see packed in energy drinks. The caffeine does not hit you like a buzz, but it sorta sneaks up on you. On moment you are tired and draggy, and about half an hour later you are much less so. There is no real crash either - just a slow build to a nice awake feeling, and then a tapering off four or five hours later.
Things are not so subtle with the GMP Turbo bill. These are for the more experience caffeine fiend - one that needs more than a light boost in the morning. GMP turbo does not f*ck around, getting you pumped within 20 minutes of popping down your throat. Turbo also has the L-Carnitine, Vitamin B and Vitamin C blend in it, but it ups the caffeine content from 130mg to a healthy 200mg dose. 200mg is not so much as to be crazy, but enough to feel the buzz. Taking a pill around 3, or right after a big lunch is a great way to counteract the mid-afternoon slump.
