Beta-Alanine
Beta-alanine is a natural amino acid that buffers the burning fatigue from high-intensity exercise and significantly increases the amount of work you can do. Beta-alanine also reduces mental stress.* Learn More
Caffeine
Caffeine increases cyclic AMP and is well-known for its research-backed effects boosting energy and metabolism and potentiating other stimulants and fat-loss ingredients.* Learn More
L-Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is a naturally occurring amino acid used by the brain to make stimulatory neurotransmitters that improve memory, mood, focus, libido, coping ability, and sense of well-being. L-tyrosine supplementation leaves people feeling refreshed after training or manual labor by mitigating some of the short-term stress caused by intensive work.*
NOTE: N-acetyl-L-tyrosine is a more water-soluble form of the amino acid L-tyrosine* Spike Shooter®, Spike® Hardcore Energy, and Spike® Double Shot formulas contain N-acetyl-L-tyrosine. Power Drive® powder contains L-tyrosine. Learn More

I love it!
Easy to order and my drinks arrived right on time! I'll definitely keep coming back!

Outstanding
No complaints with spike except I wish they had more flavors to switch between but it never fails me! I’m dead on my feet and from the first drop to the last and hours later it keeps me going! Can’t get enough!


great drink
We have been buying this product for the workers and our shop for a few years. Everyone gets excited when the new shipment arrives!

Spike
I love the spike, I been drinking it for years, I just wish they would bring back the orange flavor, that was by far the best flavor they ever had


Great product
One of my fav energy drinks always keeps me going Just wish that they would bring back the grape flavor but over all very happy every time

Watermelon Orange Grape
Spike energy drinks are top tier. Only thing is they need to bring back their top 3 flavors and find a way to get them back in gas stations again! 350 mg of caffeine hits different.


Good item
Tastes great. Many arrived damaged. I was refunded quickly though. Only reason I'm ordering from here is because Amazon can't keep it in stock.

Amazing
I really enjoy Spike energy drinks. I like the flavor and it definitely delivers on energy. I am 50 yrs. old and don't like coffee, one Spike every morning and I'm ready to go. The energy stays with me most of the day with no sugar crash. The reoccurring shipping and ordering is an awesome selection also, not having to remember to order is nice, just once every 4 weeks I know the auto pay will come out of my account and the next day or two I receive my case at my front door. Also, the fact I live in Colorado Springs and it's a local company I'm helping support is the icing on the cake. 100% I recommend Spike to anyone who enjoys energy drinks responsibly.

Spike is the Beast
Love it! Love the flavor and the energy it gives me. It is definitely my go to choice above all.


Can't go a day without it!
I have been drinking these for 10 years, I think that says a lot about the drink. After all these years, I still get up and go everyday.

Great! but the price...
Great! Great taste and high performance but could be cheaper especially buying in bulk


Spiked
I like the taste, and the boost I need for those mornings I don't feel like going to the gym, but I know I should. Would I recommend it, I have.
