XIMO Health Energy Drink to Soak Competition

XIMO Health recently released some new promotional artwork from the XIMO graphic design team. This new energy shot is going to really turn some heads in 2011 because it offers so much value. Not only does the XIMO Energy Drink give hours of energy and have zero calories, sugar or fat... It costs much less than the competition... Best of all, XIMO Health pays you back for recommending it to others.

Instant energy shots: Testing the latest supplemental craze

Editors note: I thought you might enjoy this report on our competition. XIMO doesn't hide its caffeine content - in fact the new energy shot is slated to have about 100 mg of caffeine per serving. This is half of the caffeine found in 5-Hour Energy reported by CBS in this article ... XIMO uses its herbal blend to provide sustained energy - all at a more affordable price. That's why I think it's going to go like gang-busters starting next month.

(CBS) It's one tiny bottle that promises to pack a lot of energy. And with an advertising budget of close to $90 million, the 5-hour Energy shot has America's attention.

Its promise is pretty appealing: no sugar, just a little caffeine, and a lot of vitamins to get you going. But are their claims too good to be true?

For many exhausted Americans, the idea of an instant energy shot is an alluring one. One of the most popular is the brand 5-hour Energy.

"5-hour Energy has seen huge growth in the last year. They control about 12 percent of the overall energy drink market, which is about $9 billion in sales," according to Natalie Zmunda of Advertizing Age.

The reviews are mixed:

"I think they definitely did something to stimulate you for awhile," says one tester.

"I didn't get a boost. I actually fell asleep on it," says another.

But these little bottles are making quite a big splash.

"They're really starting to go broad," Zmunda tells CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller. "It's not just men anymore; its men and women. Its 40 year olds, 50 year olds."

Commercials for the product downplay caffeine's role:

"It contains about as much caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee."

Instead, attributing the boost in energy to a special "blend" of vitamins:

"Its key ingredients can be found in everyday foods like avocados, broccoli, and bananas."

But some experts say these ads are misleading. "Energy is not obtained from vitamins or minerals. The feeling that you might get from this product is from the caffeine," says Dr. Tod Cooperton.

In fact, Dr. Cooperton of ConsumerLab.com ran tests on 5-hour Energy and found it has more caffeine than advertised.

According to the report, one shot contained 207 mg of caffeine. That's 15 percent more than the 180 mg of caffeine found in an 8 oz. cup of Starbucks Bold.

At up to $4 a shot, that's pretty expensive for energy that comes mainly from caffeine.

"The extra vitamins are not going to do anything for you," says Cooperton.

"The Early Show" took the findings to a representative for 5-hour Energy, but she stood by the advertised claims.

"The amount of caffeine is similar to what’s in one premium cup of coffee and the amount of B vitamins are essential for the energy metabolism - and for boosting the furnace of the powerhouse of the cells to provide energy," says Dr. Kathy O'Neil-Smith of 5-hour Energy.

Because energy drinks are considered dietary supplements, the FDA doesn't require them to list caffeine amounts. So if that's a number you'd like to know, you're probably better off with a cup of joe.

CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton warns that too much caffeine can be especially harmful for teens and pregnant women. For the rest of us, taking in too much can lead to nervousness, insomnia, rapid heart beat, increased blood pressure and nausea.

For most people, 200-300 mg of caffeine - about two to four cups of coffee - is OK.

Also, when mixed with alcohol, energy drinks can lead to dangerous drinking. Some pre-mixed alcoholic energy drinks, like Four Loko, have been banned by the FDA.

If you're the type who needs an energy boost, there are other ways to increase your level of alertness.

Dr. Ashton says you can fight your afternoon fatigue with exercise - even a walk around the block may perk you up. Maintaining a healthy sleep schedule can also boost your energy, as well as a power nap.

If you're feeling sluggish, drink more water. Ashton says you may be dehydrated, which we tend to forget during the winter because it's so cold.

She also suggests having a small power snack of protein, like a handful of nuts.

Comparing 5 Hour Energy Shots to The Competition

Author: Kristoffer Howes

Introduced to the energy supplement marketplace in 2004, 5 Hour Energy is considered the original two-ounce energy shot. Despite dozens of comparable products, 5 Hour Energy remains the most recognized and most popular energy shot; among consumers.

Many of the energy drinks found in today's marketplace, contain unwanted ingredients and additives. These have been known to include (up to):

• 12 tsp. of sugar
• 200 calories
• 16 oz. of fluid

Often, the combination of these ingredients can leave consumers "wired", and prone to an undesirable "sugar crash". In contrast, the 5 hour energy shot contains no sugar, as little as four calories; and as much caffeine as a cup of premium coffee. Best of all, 5 hour energy shots contain a blend of B vitamins, amino acids, essential nutrients and no herbal stimulants. This product can provide more energy; with less to drink and faster results.

Some energy drinks come in sizes that range from 8 to 32 ounces, and must be refrigerated to taste right. The 5 Hour Energy shot taste good at any temperature, and are sold in a convenient 2 oz bottle; for easy storage and transport. Furthermore, the small container can be resealed for later consumption; if required. It is however, strongly recommended that consumers discard any remainder; within seventy-two hours of opening. Refrigeration is still not required.

It is important to note that 5 Hour Energy does contain caffeine, and as such, consumers should limit their intake; to avoid nervousness, sleeplessness and occasional rapid heartbeat. The developers of this energy product, have advised participants to limit their consumption, to two bottles of 5 Hour Energy shots a day; consumed several hours apart. As well, participants may experience a warm feeling, with related redness of the skin redness. This is known as a Niacin Flush, and is a result of increased blood flow near the skin; caused by Niacin (Vitamin B3). This effect should last only a few minutes.

Denovo 7 Pre-Launch MLM Review - The NFL & Juice Shots

Webmaster's note: I found this email about another energy shot network marketing company that is also in prelaunch. Though the fact that it has some professional athletes as the founders is cool, look at the price! $3.69! Wow that is expensive. This is exactly why the XIMO Health business opportunity is such an awesome one. We're a third the price of other MLMs. I'm so happy to have found XIMO Health... Golden Energy, Golden Opportunity!

Author: Lisa A Mason

Denovo 7 is a new pre-launch MLM company that has come into existence in the last few months. The company was founded by 3 former and current NFL players, Paul Frase, Tony Boselli and Mark Brunell. The trio is focusing their efforts on producing and promoting and energy juice shot to rival many of the currently energy drinks and shots on the market today. Let's take a closer look at this new MLM opportunity.

Energy drinksand shots have been on the market for the past ten years and the market continues to grow. If you walk into any convenience store you will find the coolers and counters lined with many sizes, shapes, flavors and claims of these energy enhancing drinks. They have become the alternative to coffee. Denovo 7 is producing and packaging a juice shot called XE7. Is is a small shot that will elevate mood, reduce anxiety and worry, increase motivation and most of all boost your overall energy. The unique ingredient is XE7. Since the product is small it will be easy to ship and store.

Denovo 7 is a true network marketing opportunity. The initial investment to join is $69.97 with an annual renewal fee of $30. The XE7 juice shot will retail for around $3.69, like most energy shots on the market today. I have not confirmed that they will require a monthly auto ship to stay active, but this is a normal requirement for most network marketing companies. There are 7 ways to get paid. The most lucrative revenue stream will come from the building of their revolutionary binary power legs system. All you have to do is sponsor 3 members and you can earn over $12,000 per week according to the website. The name of the game will be recruiting new members and mentoring your team to do the same. The system includes a personal website and a unique marketing philosophy. Denovo 7 will assist with promoting the products on TV, billboards and advertisements prior to the start of the 2010 NFL season. Since the product and company is endorsed by NFL players it should be easier for their members to promote. There will be many who make a significant 6 income with this opportunity.

Denovo 7 is a legitimate home based business. With the included marketing efforts and endorsements from the company along with a solid internet marketing plan by the member, this can be a very lucrative venture. The members who exercise a solid work ethic and put forth the required effort will be successful. Those who think they can sit back and watch the money roll in will fail. If you can master a few of the tried and tested internet marketing strategies and put them into action, you can be one of the many internet successes.
