Clean Energy Drinks with Zero Calorie
Energy drinks are often viewed skeptically due to potential negative effects. The problematic factors include poor‑quality ingredients, excessive consumption, and easy availability. However, high‑quality energy sports drinks have their place during periods of increased physical or mental strain. The most commonly used ingredients include:
- Caffeine is the most popular stimulant, enhancing both physical and mental performance, and is found in almost every energy drink. It's important to monitor caffeine content, as some drinks contain up to 200 mg (half of the recommended daily maximum). Combining caffeine with l‑theanine, which acts synergistically, is often beneficial.
- BCAAs serve as an energy source for muscle tissue, reducing fatigue and supporting performance. They are also key for promoting muscle protein synthesis.
- Carnitine influences fat metabolism, utilising fats as an energy source. Additionally, carnitine may positively impact brain function and blood flow.
- Tyrosine stimulates brain activity, improves focus, and contributes to better mood and dopamine production.
A classic energy drink often contains taurine, a stimulant thought to boost performance, although these effects have not been definitively proven. Some studies suggest it might aid in muscle recovery and reduce post‑exercise muscle soreness.
Another issue with energy drinks is their high sugar content, leading to energy spikes followed by crashes, and frequent consumption may contribute to weight gain. That's why our range only includes sugar‑free energy drinks. The most common sweetener used is sucralose, often paired with acesulfame K. A natural alternative is stevia, offering a more wholesome option.
