Why Choose Hemp Energy Shots Over Traditional Energy Drinks? Preworkout NY goals

All energy is made equal - right? Wrong! There are many products and prescriptions out there that are meant to enhance our energy levels. BCAAs, pre-workouts, stimulants, and caffeine are all among these products that tout energy benefits. And while many of them may work, how they work matters, and how they make you feel during or after they work matters too. With Gorilla’s hemp energy shots, you might be able to get the same energy high without having to chug 200mg of caffeine or a pre-workout that sends you to the moon and then brings you crashing back down later. Lasting, steady energy to get you through a brutal workout. We aren't sure what could be better! 

Natural Hemp Energy: All You Need  

Most energy drinks on the market today would not be what one would call “natural”. Many of them contain artificial additives and sugars to make their products taste better. Not to mention, the sheer amount of caffeine in some of these products can get you soaring too high, causing feelings of jitteriness, stress, and anxiety. 


But, with a hemp-infused energy drink, you wouldn't need to wonder. Hemp occurs naturally from the marijuana plant and can provide a steady, more natural feeling energy or euphoria than excess amounts of synthetic caffeine can. Coupled with naturally occurring vitamins that help boost energy, like B-3 and B-3, our hemp energy shots will help you stay focused and ready for your workout, without causing a massive crash when you're done. In a recent study done on how cannabis might affect a workout, researchers found that almost all participants across the board said that cannabis before a workout made them feel an elevated mood and motivation, thus providing energy to workout. 


Your New, Healthy Energy Drink 

Traditional energy drinks, with their high sugar and caffeine content can cause significant short and long term side effects with chronic consumption. These side effects may include:

  • Cardiovascular issues, or increased heart rate and blood pressure
  • Heightened feelings of anxiety or jitters
  • Gastrointestinal upset 
  • Sleep difficulty 
  • Headaches and dehydration 
  • Potential for bone loss with extreme chronic use 

After looking at that list, it seems crazy that anyone would want your run-of-the-mill energy drink. With our low-dose Hemp-infused energy shots, the side effects, in comparison, seem to be more minimal. Short term side effects may include dizziness, nausea, or the munchies - a much easier list to digest than the former. Participants in that same study reported increased heart rate as the most negative side effect of hemp before a workout - but if you're replacing your pre-workout with our energy shots, maybe feeling amped is not the worst thing! You could be PR-ing in no time, without having to worry about the health risks of drinking 200-300mg of caffeine in one go to get you there. 


As always, it is always the best idea to consult your medical doctor when deciding to try a new product or supplement. If you are someone who is very sensitive to the effects of THC, then start at the lowest dose possible, and understand your limits.
