subject: Energy Drink Mix - Get The Natural Energy Drink [print this page] What would be in a natural energy drink mix? We know from reading the label what is in the XHour shot bottle or the raging bovine can. How about some real (not lab-fabricated) vitamins and minerals? The kind your body recognizes and assimilates into your metabolism.
How about some natural flavoring and nature made sweeteners that are not proven to be toxic for your brain or related to dementia or Alzheimer's? The kind God made? Here's a quick review of the best ingredients:
*thiamine - balances sugar in your blood, helps manage nerve and heart functions
*riboflavin - critical for metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins
*niacin - reduces cholesterol and fatty substances in your blood
*B12 - has a key role in the normal functioning of the nervous system and brain
*B6 Folate - necessary for normal red blood cell production
*Panthothenic Acid - essential for converting carbohydrates into fuel and energy
*Biotin - aids in metabolism, deficiency related to hair loss
*choline - supports acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter, and aids liver health
*Tuarine - promotes heart health, vitality and well being
*Asian Ginseng Root - counters stress and enhances intellectual and physical functions
*Guarana Seed Extract - gives a gradual and escalating stimulating effect to the brain and body
*Caffeine - gives a quick stimulant effect for a great wake up
*Natural zero carb sweeteners (Xilytol, Stevia) - no neuro-toxins involved!
I hate to sound so clinical, but this is important! Most energy drink mixes are mostly carbs and lab-made vitamins that your body can't use. Here are some more requirements for a REAL natural energy drink:
*No neon colors
*no nitrates, nitrites or bromelated oils (used for the texture of juices or liquids)
*no aspartame,
*no sucralose
*no sugar
*no high fructose corn syrup
You just add to water or juice. You can carry a couple in your purse, pocket or gym bag!
The leading effective ingredient in this new natural energy drink is a seed from the guarana plant. The pertinent nutritional factor in this seed is called guaranine. Rather than getting the quick caffeine rush from a couple of espresso shots, your energy output slowly increases over a period of your day instead of the energy spike/crash phenomena.
This way, theres no plunge into lethargy and fatigue. And no jitters like can happen when you feel that letdown and keep going back for more coffee.
An important duo in this metabolic dance - choline with guaranine provides you with the mix your brain demands to make acetylcholine. With these two nutritional factors you can rely on a result of energy and mental power.
