This energy drink is where I turn when I am struggling to stay alert in the shank of the day. I wish I could just take a nap, but I can’t because I’m still working. So, I go into my drawer, pull out my little Energy packet, snip off the end and stir it up with a stir stick into my love contigo 20 oz thermal liquid glass, which keeps thing hot or cold, whichever I wish.

Guarana Seed

Guarana is a staple in most energy shots (one of the few natural ingredients in them) and are known to release steady natural energy through the day and with little to no crash after, it’s the obvious choice for all of you ‘Go getters’ out there. I know I have never had a problem with crashing after I drink on this drink all afternoon. Nor does it leave me too rezzed up to go to sleep at my regular hour.
Maqui Berry
The Maqui berry is a natural Antioxidant retaining berry that aids in the prevention of free radicals in your body, and are shown to have THE highest concentration Antioxidants on the market to date! Very high in Anthocyanins which are proteins that help your body to produce insulin and help to stabilize sugar levels in the body. Their anti-inflammatory properties are highly sought after in most anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen and others. The Maqui berry is one of the world’s few genuine SuperFoods! Just learning I was take this stellar a combination of anti-inflammatory ingredients made me happy, because inflammation can really bring about a lot of aging and chronic disease. So this is go to help us stay younger looking and feeling longer.
Green Tea
Used and enjoyed throughout much of Asia and India as a powerful Antioxidant and even used by rural physicians in older times to aid in the taming of bad cholesterol and to treat some minor heart diseases at the time. A natural energy enhancer, it was often used and consumed during the day to provide a natural free flowing energy that lasted most of the day and of course had no fall backs with crashes. Green Tea is one of my favorite drinks, especially when I am coming down with a cold. Green Tea with Honey is my go to body fixer.
Gotu Kola
For thousands of years in India, China and Indonesia this plant has been used to treat wounds and other ailments. Well there is still more to come, as Gotu Kola is known widely as “the fountain of life” for its many benefits. Anything that is asian medicine has Gotu Kola in it. It’s been proven over the years to actually work. Look at how long people from these countries live.
Maca
Long ago before time and history was even recorded, Maca was used to increase energy and stamina by Incan warriors in the battlefield. As well as being a main ingredient in most ED medication, this super root is extremely rich in Vitamins B, C and E and known to increase blood flow to key parts of the brain. Maca a natural mood enhancer releases endorphins and raises your mood in a safe natural way unlike most other pharmaceuticals. Feeling tired or sluggish? Well maca is a great way to increase energy levels naturally and steadily as you go about your daily routine. I’ve read about Maca for years and even tried some products that promoted just that root as the answer. I will admit I was less than satisfied with those, but not with this combination. A company has finally gotten an energy drink formulation right!
Rhodiola Rosea
Has been used in traditional medicine in Eastern Europe and Asia with a hard reputation for nerve system stimulation. Rhodiola Rosea has been used by ancient peoples to treat a wide array of maladies with its adaptogenic properties. Also used to battle altitude sickness and work productivity as a natural mood balancer. This plant is thought of highly in the Eurasia regions for its uses in muscle recovery such as torn muscles and strains. Loved by the forgetful community for its properties that enhance memory and brain functionality for the young and old alike. Notice there are now two mood enhancers in this mixture of natural ingredients. I noticed that my mood for very stable, even when I worked for long hours. There were a few weeks I was working ten hours a day and didn’t get cranky. That, in itself, is a miracle!
Siberian Ginseng
An extremely popular energy tonic used in china since ancient times. Only having been recognized in the west once Russian scientist (I.I .Brekhman) realized its notable use for stress relief (1954) and increase of endurance for physical strain in the men and women who took the herb. Used to increase and enhance mental sharpness, this herb is heralded for its ability to ward off flu and cold.
It is an Adaptogen which is an ingredient shown to reduce the cell’s reaction to stress put on the body by daily upheavals that we all have to go through. It is also thought to increase body productivity and aid in cardiovascular health such as reducing varicose veins and we all know that’s a plus! I don’t have any varicose veins and I’m on my feet a lot, so that is great. There would be nothing worse than not being able to wear a pretty dress when I go out dancing because my legs didn’t look good. Thank you for no varicose veins!
