What is In Your Energy Shot?135 days ago by Annie

   Most energy beverages and shots rely on caffeine and
sugar to create an artificial buzz. The problem is that these stimulants
inevitably leave you feeling more exhausted than ever. We’ve all experienced that afternoon “crash” once the
morning coffee has worn off. Caffeinated energy beverages work the same way. 



   In addition, caffeine can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Clinical studies indicate these symptoms include headache, fatigue, depressed
mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability and brain fog. 


   Experts also say the use of guarana — aka “herbal
caffeine” — is particularly dangerous. Many consumers don’t realize guarana
itself contains extremely high levels of caffeine. A Consumer Reports
review of 12 popular energy drinks found that caffeine levels — some topping 200
milligrams or more — are often omitted from the label. 


Serious Side Effects


   Caffeinated energy drinks caused a spike in heart rate
and blood pressure in a study presented by the American Heart Association. The
effects of the caffeine occurred in healthy individuals in a relaxed, seated
position. Even more worrisome for researchers is the effect of caffeinated
energy beverages on patients with heart or blood pressure problems. 


   Athletes who use caffeinated energy beverages as
performance enhancers create their own set of risks. In the Mayo Clinic
Proceedings
, researchers noted that both athletes and non-athletes are
consuming energy beverages at an alarming rate. The study cited several recent
cases of caffeine-associated death and seizures associated with caffeinated
energy drinks. Caffeine also acts as a diuretic, and high doses of sugar can
impair absorption of fluids. The risky combination can cause severe dehydration.
 


24K from Reliv offers a healthy
alternative. No caffeine, no sugar and 24 health-promoting ingredients make 24K
the smart choice for real, sustained energy. 


What’s on Your Label?


   Deciphering the labels on popular energy beverages can
be a challenge, especially when so many manufacturers are cryptic or even
misleading about what ingredients are actually in the bottle. No other product
has the synergistic combination of active ingredients found in 24K — and they’re
all listed right on the label. 


B Vitamins. Often the only healthy
ingredient found in popular energy beverages and shots; lack of B Vitamins can
lead to fatigue, mental fog and weakness. 


CarnoSyn® Beta Alanine. Reduces fatigue,
improves strength and endurance. 


CoQ10. Well regarded for its
brain-enhancing properties; new study of ultra-runners published by the
European Journal of Nutrition indicates it also may reduce muscle
damage during intensive exercise. 


Gama Aminobutyric Acid (GABA).
Neurotransmitter that controls the brain’s theta waves; increases endorphins and
reduces anxiety. 


Omega-3 Fatty Acid. Improves
communication between the brain cells by making cell membranes more fluid; also
shown to aid in energy production. 


Resveratrol. Improves blood flow in the
brain for improved cognitive function; helps muscles use oxygen more efficiently
to enhance performance. 


   24K: A Healthy Energy Shot 


   People today want that extra boost. And they are
consuming dangerous, highly caff einated beverages and shots despite the side
effects in order to get it. What they need is a healthy, effective alternative —
and Reliv has it. 


   Healthy energy shot 24K is the only product of its kind
to provide energy, mental clarity and stress relief. 24K relies on 24 powerful
active ingredients that nourish the body instead of creating an artificial buzz.
No caffeine or sugar means the body doesn’t suffer from jitters. It also means
no crash later — and no caffeine withdrawal symptoms. 


   So, the next time you see someone reaching for one of
those dangerous drinks, hand him the 2011 Product of the Year, healthy energy
shot 24K. It’s go time!
