House Foods Ukon Energy Drink, 3.4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)

It tastes good and provided me with a noticeable amount of increased energy. I like the convenient size, unique look, and will probably order it again.

One little bottle of this (and they are little), and I had a gallbladder flare-up. I didn't get any extra energy.

I bought these on a Gold Box - must admit somewhat of an impulse buy. I love SF Red Bull so at that price, this was a cheaper alternative. I'm pretty sure it gives me a bit of a headache but I can't say for certain. Works like any other energy drink so it's fine.

House Foods Ukon Energy Drink, 3.4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)So taste-wise, its not amazing (I have weird tastes, though: I LOVE the taste of 5 Hour Energy), and you can definitely taste the turmeric in it. BUT, it's real use is not as an energy drink but as a hangover preventer. Take a bottle before you start drinking and your hangover will be much lessened. I've got a friend who swears by it, and it worked OK for me... but I suspect the only reason it didn't work better was because we split a bottle between like 4 people, and I drank a TON. I feel like even that small amount helped, though!

This is a healthier alternative to those high-calorie, carbonated cans of caffeine that pass for energy drinks. I first tried Ukon Energy in Japan, where I spent roughly seven years living and working in both Yokohama and Tokyo. The drink is known as morning, hangover cure for Japanese businessmen. It is slightly sweet (but only 30 calories per serving) and earthy with no carbonation. This tastes better than Red Bull or the other energy drinks ubiquitous in the United States.The active ingredient in tumeric root is curcumin. Tumeric root is widely used in Asia, where it is prized as a detoxifier. Claims are that it provides health benefits for stomach irritation, heartburn, inhibiting the formation of gallstones (the body more easily digests fats) and ulcers. Tumeric root is also used to treat liver and skin conditions, including cirrhosis, jaundice, eczema, psoriasis and acne.Ukon Energy contains vitamins E and B, has only 30 calories per serving and is caffeine-free. Sold in a conveniently compact bottle, this herbal drink is especially popular among Japanese businessmen, who see it as the ideal beverage for their on-the-go lifestyle.BTW: House Foods previewed its turmeric-based Ukon Energy beverage at the 2010 Korean Music Festival in Hollywood last May. More than 120 million Ukon Energy bottles were sold in Japan in 2009.Rating: Five stars.

I purchased this item at the behest of my half-Japanese girlfriend, who insisted that I try it BEFORE a night of drinking. All I can say is that this thing little magic in a bottle worked for me! I drank it, and then went out for a night of drinking, almost to the point of excess, to see if it could work under the most demanding circumstances and, to my surprise, it worked! What should have been a pounding headache the next day, was nothing more than a slightly annoying pain - and I attribute it all to the power of Ukon. Of course, it also has all the other benefits mentioned by the first reviewer, so that's twice the reason to purchase this item!

My husband was able to tolerate the taste, he felt a decent amount of energy. I on the otherhand couldn't stomach the taste nor felt any energy.
