Across my years in basketball I have tried many energy drinks on the market and in many forms. As an athlete, I am not the best at remembering to rehydrate and fuel my body during sessions, so the first thing that excited me about Orbana healthy energy drink was that you take it 30 minutes before practice starts. Its slow release energy meant that I didn't have to worry about my energy needs during practice. My coach gave me 2 samples to try, the first I took for a 2-hour midday Sunday practice, which was the day after my sister's wedding. As you can imagine, I was lacking in my normal energy reserves, but after taking the drink I found myself having the energy required to maintain an extremely high level during the session. Without Orbana, I would not have had my normal level of focus and concentration on that day. I took the second sample before an evening practice in which we had a pre-season game - I felt great! It just felt like I had bags of energy to burn the entire time, unlike other drinks where your energy spikes and then you feel a down after the boost. With Orbana, my energy levels were consistently high throughout the game. I do like the convenience of the bottle size and the fact you can just add water wherever you are. As a serious athlete who is always looking for ways to stay on top of my game, Orbana provides the ideal solution. It's like they created the drink just for me!
