Rockstar Thermo X Tropical Heat Flavored Energy Drink Review

Today I managed to get my hands on a can of Rockstar Thermo X. This is the All New Thermogenic Energy Drink from Rockstar. The All New Rockstar Thermo X seems to be available only at select gas stations, I've heard it's exclusive to Speedway, but have also heard it's available at AM/PM Gas Stations as well, so those are your best bets if you're looking to pick up a can.

Now Bang kind of started the energy drink revolution with 300mg Caffeine Energy drinks as well as adding BCAAs, Creatine, and CoQ10 to energy drinks, Reign and Rockstar have also picked up on this. The newest trend seems to be Thermogenic Energy drinks with Monster Reign recently putting out their Reign Inferno Thermogenic Energy Drink. Rockstar Thermo X is Rockstars response to that. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bang Energy roll out their very own Thermogenic Energy Drink in the near future.

One unique thing about Rockstar Thermo X is unlike Bang and Monster, Rockstar actually tells you how much BCAAs are in the drink, and this beverage contains 1,000mg of BCAAs. While this is fairly underdosed to have any recovery or endurance benefits, at least they tell you what's in it.

While were on this topic, Monster, Bang, Rockstar, first and foremost they are energy drinks. The Creatine or Super Creatine or BCAAs or CoQ10 put in, its just for marketing purposes, there isn't adaquete enough doses to actually get any real benefits from these ingredients, its nothing but marketing so think of these drinks first and foremost as energy drinks because that's what they are.

That aside Rockstar Thermo X does feature 1,000mg of BCAAs, 300mg of Caffeine like Bang and Reign, CoQ10, B Vitamins, Green Tea Extract, and of course no sugar, no calories, and no artificial colors. It's also gluten free.

As far as the taste, it's a Tropical taste, but its hard to pick out individual flavors. I'd say it's some type of Mango, Pineapple, Coconut type flavor maybe with some Dragonfruit or Passionfruit mixed in. There's a hint of a candy like taste, maybe a Pink Starburst type taste, but overall it's a crisp tropical flavor. It's pretty sweet without being overly sweet either, definitely not syrupy at all and no chemical like taste that many artificially sweetened drinks have.

Overall I was a fan of the drink and would probably pickup another can down the road. If you'd like to see our video review you can check it out down below.
