Every week hundreds of people are searching for where they can buy Eola drops since the U.S. government banned ephedra alkaloids in energy and weightloss products in 2003. Eola products which had spent a decade provide consumers with a quality diet and energy product was forced into bankruptcy and closed, but still almost 10 years later satisfied customers are trying to find the original ephedra drops product.
Sadly, ephedra alkaloids were banned by the FDA and the original Eola drops product will not be coming back. However, recent research on Eola products has led me to uncover some exciting news for people who loved the E'ola diet drops.
Back in the 1990s-early 2000s, Eola products' top distributor was a man named Erik Laver. Erik's team sold tens of millions of dollars worth of E'ola AMP drops. He was also the author of the book The Critical Piece of the Weightloss Puzzle. As Presidential Director - when it came to ephedra and Eola drops, Erik Laver was the expert.
After spending several years running a successful greeting cards company, Erik Laver has returned to the energy and weightloss industry.
Erik has re-emerged as the owner and CEO of a new company which he said has a product that is the closest feeling and performing product to the original E'ola drops. Buy a 25 count box for only $25! Click here to Order XIMO
He is calling his new product XIMO Energy Shots. These 1 ounce shots contain a powerful proprietary herb blend that boosts energy, kicks up thermogenesis and helps change your eating habits much like the original E'ola drops.
Customers are raving about their results. Terri Mumm from Reno, NV said on her blog: "I knew it was working for me. I am down 12 lbs in 3 weeks; haven't had an afternoon nap in that long, and have enough energy to carry me through my busy day."

Eola products may be gone and so went their AMP-1, AMP-2 and Thin 2 diet drops, but new developments in product formulations may have enabled XIMO Shots to step in and fill the void.

2011 MLM Trends: The Coming Energy Shot Wars
For those who keep an ear to the ground around network marketing circles, it seems like every few months, a long-lost tribe emerges from the foothills of an exotic locale bearing a new fruit that has kept them in peak health for centuries. These tribesmen seem to have corporate owners and venture capitalists on speed-dial and next thing you know, a new super-fruit drink is born. This has been the trend of the past ten or so years.
The explosive growth of companies like Tahitian Noni (TNI), Monavie, Xango, etc., have defined the term critical mass and as a result more and more copycats have emerged. Over the past decade, the “functional beverage” sector of network marketing companies has grown exponentially.
Market factors and consumer sentiment play key roles in the success and failure of any company or product but because of the power of word of mouth distribution, these factors affect network marketing companies immensely.
There are many factors as to why the functional beverage sector has flourished in network marketing, and through study and observation of the functional beverage sector of network marketing companies over the past several years, I have observed traits and characteristics that have lead to success and failure of these companies. The success or failure of the functional beverage multi-level marketing (MLM) companies, the market corrections and response by consumers and distributors alike, result in a refinement of products, compensation plans and business models. These reactions to market factors create opportunities – either for established companies or new start-ups that take this critical data and integrate it into their own companies.
Since the success of network marketing distributors are so closely linked to the rise and fall of these market changes and corporate reactions, I believe it is vitally important for distributors to pay attention to emerging trends.
The end result of these observations have brought me to the conclusion that the emergence of a new niche within the functional beverage industry – the energy shot – will replace health juices as the network marketing trendsetter and be the new explosive growth product within the next 18-24 months.
The aforementioned healthy juice beverages offered some key benefits to both the corporate ownership and investors of network marketing companies and distributors. For companies, they could charge a lot of money for them. Often $120-200 monthly for an individual monthly supply on autoship. Now despite all the varied claims of the exoticness of any individual ingredient, there were large profit margins in these juices. It wasn’t the berries that cost $100 - even though I distinctly remember sitting in on a presentation for Zrii’s functional beverage where the presenter went into painstaking detail to describe the laborious task of keeping the constant stream of amalaki fruit coming down from the “glacial run-off of the Himalayas.” Packed into every little bottle of these juices was a mighty profit margin that was highly conducive to creating healthy companies and happy distributors - for a time. I say “for a time,” because there were also many unintended consequences that resulted from the success of these juice products.
In the beginning, when economic times were booming, buying a large $1500 start-up package and committing $200 a month to an autoship was still not easy for everyone, but as these companies proved - it worked. Large up-front packages like the one I first purchased - complete with roll-out banners, tear-off pads and handy carrying tote offered big commissions on the front end. Couple that with the monthly reorders funneled through the never-before-seen hybrid binary and uni-level pay plans and these companies shot off like rockets. Big money was made by the companies and by the uplines.
The unintended consequences were big money was spent by a lot of people who could not and probably should not have put it on their credit card. These new pay plans looked amazing on paper and seemed so easy to build. “Just get two who get two” - remember?
Well, in practice - selling fruit juice for $50 a bottle turned out to be a harder job than most realized. The exorbitant prices were very conducive to large volume and big commission checks if one was check qualified, but there really were no differences between a retail customer and a distributor. Without the lure of a commission check few people wanted a $55 dollar bottle of fruit juice. Where did a lot of it go? Ebay, Craigslist - where distributors were dumping it for half-cost to get rid of it or giving away whole bottles in hopes that they might hook a new distributor and ease themselves the $171 monthly autoship.
Another key issue with many of these companies was the weight of the product - none probably more so than the gorgeous bottle of Xango juice. Xango offered one of the most attractive, sleek bottles of any company, but it was made of glass and weighed a ton. The “wine-bottle” look that these companies had was attractive, but it killed distributors in shipping costs. The already expensive autoships were made even more difficult to afford by cumbersome shipping prices. During this time also came a heavy influence of internet based network marketing techniques which made long-distance sampling essential. These heavy 25 oz bottles made that too nearly impossible.
Lastly, I want to address one other issue that plagued the companies of the “juice wars” and that is efficacy . Did the products work? I am not going to claim that they did not work. Many promoted anti-inflammatory properties, and I know first hand that Zrii (cost aside) was a good product that did many of the things the company claimed. However, it takes a person several weeks of daily consumption to begin to really notice any results from many of the products. This made sampling very difficult. Since selling a $55 bottle of juice was out of the question for most people, offering a small taste of the product really did nothing to fill the gap between Welch’s Grape and a functional beverage. In order to get someone to try the product long enough to find benefit from it, you almost had to give the bottles away. I can attest that at $55 a bottle, giving product away is not a sound plan for financial success.
During this time, these juice companies did what I like to call the “bottle rocket.” They took off like they were headed to Mars and in a hurry! However, once the “new” wore off they were left with an overpriced product that took constant consumption over a long period of time to see results. It was expensive to ship and the hybrid binary compensation plan left many stuck in “dead legs” with none of the “spillover” they had undoubtedly been promised. Without the presentation and without the compensation plan, it was a shell game. The jig was up.
Not all is lost by the mistakes made by these type of nutritional companies because they and their competition have been keen to recover and make changes to their structure, products and plans.
Based on my observations, the characteristics of the most successful network marketing product today would have a product that works well in a short amount of time, that is small and easily shippable, has a large enough profit margin to be conducive to an exciting yet fair compensation plan, and a price that doesn’t induce sticker shock and is in keeping with or ahead of a current trend.
The product I just described to you is the liquid energy shot, and it’s coming to a network marketing company near you. I predict in the next 18-24 months, we will see and explosion of energy shot products.
In stores across America, consumers have been trained that energy drinks and shots cost between $2.50-$4.00 - the geniuses at RedBull can be thanked for this. Much like the exotic berries of MLM juice companies, making an energy drink doesn’t cost much more than making a cola really, but the shelf price that has been established leaves a large margin of profit that can successfully fuel a MLM compensation plan. Consumers have been trained that $3 is roughly the cost of an energy shot, so as long as you’re competitive you have a great shot at being successful.
5-Hour Energy Shots – the brainchild of a non-MLM company Living Essentials has an advertising budget of $60 million annually. From Superbowl Ads to web advertising, Living Essentials has been spending this large amount of money introducing consumers of all ages to their product. Instead of taking the “young, hip” approach of energy drink manufacturers Monster or Rockstar, 5-Hour Energy is targeted for everyone. And sales data shows that everyone from teens to baby boomers are trying energy shots..
According to the research firm Mintel, energy drink product launches have increased 110% in general and sales rose 240% from 2004-2009. Because of this new acceptance of energy shots as a product for mass consumption generated from the aggressive advertising of 5-Hour Energy and others, I believe energy shots will be well received when introduced through network marketing and their large profit margins will likely allow for great paying compensation plans without the same sticker-shock associated with their juice company predecessors.
In the past few months, a host of companies have started to release MLM energy shots. Vemma can be credited with being the first to get in the game with the immensely successful Verve.
New kid on the block, XIMO Health is hoping to get a jump start on the competition with their value-priced, herbal energy shot that launches next week. The company is owned by Erik Laver, the Co-founder of Send Out Cards and aims to sell their energy shot for $1 a serving – undercutting store-bought brands like 5-Hour Energy.
New company Nuvia3 is debuting their Shotwave product in the coming months along with the Reliv’s unveiling of their new “24K” shot. There is also another new company called Denovo7 which has been started by some former professional athletes selling an energy shot through network marketing. Unfortunately at $4-roughly, I think Denovo7 has priced themselves out of the market in my opinion.
Because of shipping costs, energy drinks like Monavie’s EMV, XOWII/Evolv's Energy or Youngevity’s recent acquisition of ACT Energy drinks do not fall into this category and won’t have the same success in my opinion. The larger liquid volume of products such as these make shipping a chore and will hold them back from this energy shot trend unless they lower their prices or formulate a shot also. The latter of which, I predict to be highly likely.
In conclusion, I have made a solid-case as to why the juice products sold through network marketing have led to an entirely new category of network marketing companies. Hopefully, armed with the experience of their prior mistakes, companies selling these new energy shots will create many new millionaires in the future and help grow the industry in a positive way. After reading this article, I hope you find yourself at the forefront of this emerging trend and don't let this train pass you buy.

XIMO Health Golden Energy Shot Ingredients: Supplement Facts Label
Today, XIMO Health released the supplement label that will be found on both the sample packs and the bottles. This is for the more potent reformulated energy shot product slated to release in about 5 weeks.
Particularly interesting is the 100 mg of caffeine. I reposted a CBSNews report on 5-Hour Energy and their analysis showed that their product contained more than twice the caffeine as a XIMO Energy shot.
Furthermore, XIMO uses naturally derived caffeine in our product. It's the combination of active herbs inside this product that give you the hours of energy boost, mental focus/clarity and possible weight loss. In the future, I will list each ingredient separately and explain their common uses in supplements.

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.

XIMO Health MLM Review
XIMO Health is a network marketing company first founded in 2008 that sold a liquid energy drink called XIMO Golden Ephedra. Prior to being a prelaunch MLM, the first owners marketed the original formula as ephedra tea. The company expanded through a network of XIMO home business owners and made a few changes to its formula, original compensation plan and price point.
On November 1, 2010, the still fledgling XIMO MLM company was purchased by network marketing powerhouse Erik Laver. Since that day the new owner has begun a complete transformation of the company and is presently relaunching the company with new packaging, a stronger energy shot formula, and much more. Most of the details are not available as to the prelaunch MLM company as the target relaunch date is the end of the first quarter of 2011.
He soon become their highest income earner and eventually served as Presidential Director.

On November 1, 2010, the still fledgling XIMO MLM company was purchased by network marketing powerhouse Erik Laver. Since that day the new owner has begun a complete transformation of the company and is presently relaunching the company with new packaging, a stronger energy shot formula, and much more. Most of the details are not available as to the prelaunch MLM company as the target relaunch date is the end of the first quarter of 2011.
Based on Laver's track record with his two prior network marketing companies, it is my opinion XIMO Health will be become a major player in the network marketing industry upon the XIMO relaunch.
The things that set XIMO Health apart from other prelaunch MLM companies are three things:
1. It's Golden Energy Shot product is unique and is presently in high demand.
2. The XIMO Health owner is experienced and well capitalized.
3. The energy shot is a great value and has easy to understand MLM duplication system.
They use what is described by the company as a "polyphasic" system. XIMO Health is an herbal energy shot. This is different than products found in stores which rely mainly on sugar and caffeine for their energy boost.
Beginning in March, Golden Energy Shots will be available in single-serving foil packets with tear-off tops. This will make them highly convenient to carry around and make it easier to sample potential customers.
The company has also said it intends to offer Golden Energy in a large 25 oz. bottle which will allow customers to get more value for their money. By having two sizes, customers can have a bottle for the refrigerator as well as the on-the-go energy shot packets.
In addition to its performance, the XIMO energy shot looks very cool. The company has an on-site graphic designer who has created some of the best looking graphics I've ever seen in a network marketing company. Ximo will have the "cool factor" that isn't seen in the average prelaunch network marketing company.
He soon become their highest income earner and eventually served as Presidential Director.
Between 1992 and 2003 he formed a downline organization that consisted of more than a half a million distributors, which collectively produced 25-50 million dollars in sales annually. While he was with E'OLA he also authored a hardcover book, The Missing Piece to the Weight Loss Puzzle, which sold over 12,500 copies.
In 2003 Erik Laver co-founded and served as President of SendOutCards. During 2003 SendOutCards produced just over $100,000 in revenue, and five years later, by the end of 2008, the same company was producing over $41 million dollars annually, consisted of 50,000 distributors, and had 100,000 active customers.
In 2009 Erik Laver was a finalist in the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur Of The Year. Also in 2009, Inc. Magazine listed SendOutCards as #158 in both the top 500 Fastest Growing Companies and the Best of the Websites.
The millions Laver earned in the past two decades in network marketing have given him the capital necessary to ensure the XIMO MLM is built for long-term stability. Laver owns his own office space and has already hired an experienced customer service director who has worked with him previously.
Since November 1, 2010, Laver has poured capital into research and development on improving every aspect of the company. They doubled their sales in December and are set to do the same in January of 2011.
In today's day and age of $150-200 autoships of the latest berry juice just recently discovered from exotic island, XIMO Health is a refreshingly low-cost, low-hype opportunity.
Presently XIMO Golden Energy is available for $.50 a serving in a 16 oz. bottle. There are no mandatory monthly autoship requirements, and the company pays dollar for dollar on volume.
There are no fees to sign-up during the launch, and all it takes to become a distributor is to order one 15 bottle case of Golden Energy at a paltry sum of $60. That's 120 servings of Golden Energy - extreme value.
The ease of duplication comes by way of the fact that this product flat out delivers. The marketing plan is among the most simple in the country. Those who sample the most ... win. The new energy shot works so well, that all one has to do is share it with others. Not only is it so effective, it costs a fraction of what its competitors' products do in stores. It's a win for anyone who drinks energy drinks, coffee or soda.
In addition to sharing the energy shot with others, there is also great support from the XIMO MLM company. There is a conference call every Wednesday night where owner Laver shares the exciting updates as he builds the XIMO MLM company as well as his expertise as a 20-year industry veteran. According to Laver the company doubled it's sales from November 2010 to December 2010 and is attracting the attention of networkers across the country.
In my XIMO review, I hope I have provided an insider's view of this 2011 prelaunch, the company looks set to do big things this year once it is relaunched under the direction of an experienced and well-funded owner.

Comparing 5 Hour Energy Shots to The Competition
Author: Kristoffer Howes
About the Author
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!

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.

There s much controversy surrounding best energy drinks. Many people love energy shots to no end while some others blame energy drinks of distorting the mind and natural body mechanics. There's a third category of people who live on energy drinks because they think that is a new way of life. Among all these impressions and incredulities, there's another segment who wants to find out what stands out as the best energy drink
So in order to quench your thirst for information, this brief article about best energy drinks will try to explore the so called best energy drinks in the market. Before we start talking about any brand or product it is essential to understand what is meant by best. Is it the best energy drinks when it comes to taste or best energy drinks that gives more strength? As it is clearly seen the definition of best differs from one person to the other. Hence, we may have to look at a few categories of best energy drinks in this article. I will keep you informed of their specialties as we proceed.
Some prefer energy drinks that savor good. This peculiarly applies to ladies who hate the raw taste of strong energy drinks. But be cautioned, the more sweet-flavored the energy drinks the more sugar content it may contain. Anyhow, according to review articles, Hype MFP, Who s your daddy and Energy 69 are some of the best energy drinks that taste good.
Do you know what energy shots are? Shots are supposed to work quicker than drinks and supposedly give you a better rush too. So if you ever have been wondering what best energy shots are, you should try out 5 hour energy, on go limon lime or crakshot.
What if you are not the type to have bed tea or breakfast? Well, if you are one of those energy drink freaks, here s a list of best energy drinks to be consumed in the morning: Kaboom orange diet, energy 69 and phat phruit pineapple orange. Sounds funny don t they?
Some individuals also choose organic/natural energy drinks. So if you are someone who is looking for that organic option I d suggest you try out these best energy drinks: XIMO Golden Energy, diet ronin, hydrive or steaz. Don't lose your skepticism even when your best friend introduces you to a seemingly best energy drinks. After all, best is a relative term.

When Energy Drinks are Needed
Author: alena jones
About the Author
Energy drinks are simply soft drinks which are marketed to be as those drinks boosting up the energy when compared to other ordinary drinks. The usual calorie count or the quantitative energy is estimated to be much lesser than those found in normal soft drinks. The major ingredients present in these energy drinks are a blend of Vitamin B complex, herbal constituents and methylxanthines including caffeine.
A variety of physiological and psychological effects attributed to energy drinks and/or their ingredients have not been investigated. However two studies reported significant improvements in mental and cognitive performances as well as subjective alertness. Reports and research show that many people are inclined to take a high energy drink first thing in the morning, even before their breakfast. Sadly, because the side effects are not always immediately noticeable, many think they can get away with this or just simply believe that there are no side effects.
The main two ingredients of energy drinks are caffeine and taurine. These are the key elements that are supposed to "energize" our brain and body according to the plan of energy drinks creators. But practice shows different. The French scientists studied the composition and effects of energy drinks and came to the conclusion that the main ingredients of tonics do not go together and cause ambiguous body reactions. Energy drinks are soft drinks advertised as providing energy to improve physical activity of the drinker, as compared to a typical drink. They are typically attractive to young people. Energy drinks are not necessarily bad for you, but they shouldn't be seen as "natural alternatives" either.
There are now energy drinks on the market that contain Quercetin. Quercetin is a phytochemical that is part of the coloring found in the skins of apples, red onions, red grapes and berries. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant. It is also a natural anti-histamine, and anti-inflammatory. It is actually possible that it may help relieve allergy symptoms. There is now a drink that actually provides you the equivalent of eating 27 medium sized apples in one 8.4 oz can, it's called Efusjon Dawn.
Now it seems there is a specific type for everyone. Although the growth of the energy drink market has slowed since the original explosion a few years back, it has yet to stop. It seems the market has been established and these drinks are here to stay. Glucuronolactone is a naturally occurring carbohydrate produced by the human metabolic system. It is believed to improve memory and concentration. It can have stimulant and anti-depressant effects.Inositol is instrumental in how the brain uses serotonin, a chemical that is the same that is boosted by the anti-depressant drugs prozac and zoloft.
Energy drinks are non-alcoholic, often lightly carbonated beverages that are designed to give the consumer a burst of energy by the addition of a number of energy enhancing ingredients, most notably caffeine. They are everywhere nowadays, tempting us from the refrigerated section with their mega portions of caffeine and natural energy boosters. Energy drinks also contain citric acid which is harmful to the teeth. The unpredictability of the use of energy drinks lies in the fact that they produce different reactions in different people. Energy drinks have stimulating properties that can boost the heart rate and blood pressure. Taken in excess, energy drinks can dehydrate the body and, like other stimulants, they also prevent sleep. But that's not all. As was found, "Red Bull" - the most popular and fashionable Energy drink can be deadly to humans. The production and sale of the drink is already banned in Australia and New Zealand. In France, Denmark and Norway energy drinks are prohibited for sale in food stores and are allowed to be sold only in pharmacies because they are considered as no other than medicine.
Some energy drinks out there also contain several beneficial ingredients, such as: B-vitamins, amino acids, and anti-oxidants. Often times, these types of energy drinks are also marketed as health drinks. These health drinks often contain beneficial nutrients, zero sugars, and the right amount of caffeine for a daily boost of energy.
