Most of the nootropics we test here at SOMA Analytics are in pill form. However, as these smart supplements become more mainstream, there is an increasing demand for consuming nootropics in different ways – one of which is through nootropic drinks.
The trouble is, a lot of the drinks on the market don’t quite live up to the ingredient profiles we see in the usual pill-based supplements – that is until TestoPrime Instant Energy was launched.
TestoPrime alone is known as a testosterone booster and doesn’t really offer a great deal in terms of nootropics, which makes it all the more surprising that they decided to launch into the world of nootropics with a drink – but they have done so, and made a pretty big splash in the process.
Having seen the ingredient profile that Instant Energy by TestoPrime has to offer, we were very keen to get our hands on it and try it. And so we did – here we have our full TestoPrime Instant Energy review to help you decide if it’s the right nootropic for you.
Quick Verdict: Instant Energy
TestoPrime Instant Energy was an instant hit with our tester. Energy, focus and concentration all came within 25 minutes of drinking the delicious Orange & Mango flavored drink, and this lasted throughout the day.
With all-natural, top-tier nootropic ingredients, zero sugar and zero calories, there is no better way to get your nootropic fix.
About TestoPrime Instant Energy
The TestoPrime brand is brought to us by Wolfson Brands, a UK-bred company that operates both there and in the US, with shipping available worldwide.
Up until now, they have only had one key product in their range, and that was TestoPrime – a quality testosterone booster that has been designed to a premium standard.
But hold your horses! Don’t scurry off, because Instant Energy has nothing to do with boosting testosterone.
What we do know is that Wolfson Brands is a top manufacturer, and they are simply expanding their supplement offering with this nootropic drink.
Our experience of the TestoPrime brand is that they create high-quality supplements that use 100% natural ingredients clinically backed by science.
Their foray in to nootropics is no different, and you can be sure they will have spent countless hours developing and revising their formula.
One thing that they are extremely well known for is their customer support, and their 100% LIFETIME money back guarantee applies to Instant Energy just as it does to their main TestoPrime supplement.
They’re that confident in the quality of their product, that they offer a no-hassle, lifetime refund policy. That alone is incredible. (Edit: This is still the case as of June 2024, two years after this review was originally written.)
So, we’re off to a great start with the company behind all this, now let’s get back to the product itself.
Instant Energy is essentially a top-tier nootropic that comes in a powder, which you mix with water to create a tasty nootropic drink. At the time of testing, there was one flavor available – Orange & Mango – and this was available as a one month supply, with discounts available for subscriptions. (Edit: There is still only this one successfully received flavor and subscription offers as of June 2024.)
The one thing we aren’t too keen on is the name. ‘Instant Energy’ makes this supplement sound exactly like an energy drink, it lets itself down.
Although there is no doubt that you will feel much more energetic within 20 minutes of drinking it, there is much more going on in this supplement than just raw energy – with potential for a huge cognitive boost and real opportunity for balancing mood and alleviating feelings of stress.
More on that as we tell you how we got on with testing it shortly…
TestoPrime Instant Energy Ingredients
The ingredients found in TestoPrime Instant Energy are indeed akin to those found in our most highly-rated nootropic supplements.
In fact, for anyone looking to increase energy levels, improve focus, creativity and memory, or looking for stress-relieving adaptogens to bring a sense of calm, then there is little better on offer than TestoPrime Instant Energy – and in drink format, there is nothing that beats it.
Everything found in Instant Energy is vegan friendly and 100% natural. There are no added sugars, flavors or colors, and each sachet has zero calories.
Let’s take a look at the core active ingredients in a little more detail:
Caffeine Anhydrous
This is a potent form of caffeine that is generally derived from the seeds and foliage of coffee plants. Anhydrous simply means it is without water, and thus it is often the form of caffeine found in supplements as a dehydrated powder.
We’ll start with this ingredient as it is the only one that might turn some people off Instant Energy – although anyone looking for a drink with the words ‘instant energy’ in the name is likely to expect a bit of caffeine.
Here we see 200mg of caffeine anhydrous (about the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee), and this is more than enough to give you that instant boost in energy – it’s what you are likely feeling just 20-30 minutes after consumption.
It’s not the only energy boosting supplement found in TestoPrime Instant Energy, but it is the most fast-acting. Not all nootropics include stimulants such as caffeine, but many do – and we think this is a welcome addition to the overall blend.
Think twice about consuming this nootropic in the late afternoon or evening, as it will likely impact your sleep, resulting in an overall negative impact on your cognitive state.
L-Theanine
Next we get 250mg of L-Theanine. This is a naturally occurring amino acid that has a few strings to its bow.
Firstly, it will prevent the dreaded jitters and crashes associated with high caffeine intake. On top of this, it will actually further compound the impact of the caffeine.
In addition, L-Theanine is well known for eliciting feelings of calm, and it can even help to reduce anxiety – something that is always welcome in a nootropic.
