Energy-X Lip Balm

From the creators of Burner Balm is another exciting product, Energy-X Lip Balm, a specially designed lip protector with a dose of caffeine and energy ingredients supposed to make your mouth safe from the elements and your body movin and groovin. It is made from pure soy oils, and combines Natural Caffeine and Green Tea Extract to get your lips happy. That's not all - as it also is supposed to help your food cravings with both Hoodia and Chromium Picolinate. Both of these are heavily spammed nutritional supplements that are rumored to suppresses appetite and lead to weight loss.

Overall, this is not such a bad idea, as caffeine works faster when it does not have to be digested first. That is why caffeine gum or spray works faster - as it gets absorbed subcutaneously though the skin. Since Energy-X is applied directly on the lips, it should get sucked faster into the bloodstream and starts working immediately.

Now when I tried their Burner Balm, I was pretty disappointed. I Felt absolutely nothing except un-chapped lips from Burner balm - including the whole Burner thing. I still got hungry, ate a normal portion, and did not lose any weight at all.

So for Energy-X, I did the MOST one can do for a lip balm review. I applied Energy-X every hour for 3 days. and then a week later I applied it once a day for a week. What I found was that you can actually get your caffeine buzz from this stuff - you just have to work at it. If you just take it every once in a while - you will feel nothing. I even let my 7 year old daughter try it out a couple times to no effect. However, when I used it over a dozen times in one day, I began to feel the effect. My lips turned kind of burning, but it is possible that was just a suggested fake response to it. I think that the double dose of caffeine and green tea can actually lead to caffeine in your bloodstream if you keep working at it.

While I was not totally impressed with this stuff, I can certainly see getting this as a gag for a caffeine lover, or a fun office gift. It is harmless enough to not do much to someone, and the green packaging looks like it belongs more on a marijuana product than anything caffeinated.
