Too many 5 Hour Energy shots - Drank with a straw

Three or four years ago I discovered something called 5-hour energy.  I was hammering down shots long before I ever heard of it from a friend, on the net and long before seeing a t.v commercial for this product.  When I first started using these shots my ears would turn red and my skin would tingle.  The shot really worked well at first but now not so much and for as much as the little shot cost it just wasn't worth continuing to use.

When quit I found myself craving the shot.  I personally think this product may be a little psychologically addicting. Its claimed 5-hour energy is all natural.  I do think 5-hour is a much better alternative to those large energy drinks you get out of the cooler.  But I still do not think 5-hour is completely healthy even though the commercial claims it is an all natural drink. 

Yes, it contains 0 sugar and about as much caffeine in 1 cup of coffee.  Sounds GREAT!!!  But why don't they list the chemicals that are in the special energy blend?  Remember this.  I am not saying 5- hour contains trans fats I just want to cite an example.  If a product contains less than a certain amount of trans fats the FDA doesn't require the manufacture to mention trans fats on food labels.  So maybe also 5-hour energy also has chemicals in it at low enough levels that allow the manufacture not to disclosure their presence. Possible?
