I re-watched an old Shark Tank episode where a Marine (former Special Ops) was pitching his energy drink Ruckpack.
One of the big selling points for him was the caffeine-free formula that did not produce jitters.
When I first saw it, I didn’t need a caffeine-free solution for my own personal energy crises. But now I do. Based on what the Marine said, this might be just what I’m needing.
I found a store that carries Ruckpack, and I picked up a couple of bottles (the caffeine-free mix), just to see. Today is a long day – I started at 6:00 a.m. with a support call for work, and I will be going till10:00 tonight, at least. I have meetings all day – booked solid from 9:00 a.m. till 4:00, when I need to drive an hour to my neuropsych for my weekly appointment. Along the way, I need to run some errands. And then I have a networking meeting in the evening.
So, I will need some extra help today, most likely.
I’m going to try Ruckpack to see how it works. If what they say is correct, that it provides steady energy and nutrients “for every battle”, and it does so without caffeine, then this might be something I can actually use.
I’m going to wait till later this afternoon to try it. I’ll report back.
If it works for me, it might work for other folks struggling with mental fogginess / TBI / headache / migraines, who have to steer clear of caffeine, as well.
Let the experiment begin.

How did it work with ruckpack.

It seemed to work great. The only things were that I felt a lityle sick to my stomach each time I drank it, but that disappeared after I ate something. The second time I drank it, I happened to check my blood pressure after, and ir was very low – even for me. 108/46 with a pulse of 64. I did some controlled breathing and brought it back up, but it was concerning. I need to do another test to prove that one out, but I rarely go that low, so there may be a reaction with me. All the more reason to test again – and also get that autonomic testing done.
