Over the past decade, the energy
drink phenomenon has become a multi-billion dollar business. It has also caught the attention of numerous
doctors, nutritionists and scientists world-wide. Besides the huge sugar content, the caffeine
content is also a real concern. The caffeine
in these drinks is also chemically created caffeine, and doesn’t even come from
natural sources. One drink contains such
a huge amount of it, that there are concerns about, and actual cases of heart
attacks, strokes and even death linked to consuming these products. And young people are guzzling these drinks down
like water! As if this isn’t bad enough, there is also
another little known ingredient that also poses a big question of safety. That ingredient is taurine.
In nature, taurine is a free form
amino acid. It is a natural substance
that is found in foods like milk, meat, fish and eggs; and is also manufactured
in the body from cysteine, an amino acid.
Taurine was actually first discovered in the bile of bulls, but it is
now synthetically produced for the energy drink market by the truckload. It has
been found, that taurine can stimulate the central nervous system, so too much
of it could certainly not be a good thing.
Our bodies use taurine during
strenuous exercise, and also during times of stress, but what happens if we get
to much of it? That question hasn’t even
been fully answered by the scientific community. Researchers say they’re
curious and puzzled still about the function of taurine in the brain, and have
more questions than answers. In a recent
article from MedicalNewsToday.com, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical Collegein New York say they were “surprised” to find taurine “extraordinarily active”
on brain receptors. They found that
taurine works deep inside the brain, in the “regulatory” area of the thalamus, and
interacts with the brain’s neurotransmitters
Synthetic taurine has been
implicated in illnesses such as high blood pressure, strokes, seizures and
heart disease. After causing deaths of several consumers, it has even been
banned in some Scandinavian countries.
A healthy organic diet can give you
all of the taurine your body needs, without the horrific side effects of its artificial
chemical counterpart. You might want to
think again about the artificial, chemically created caffeine, taurine and
sugar (usually high fructose corn syrup which is also some really bad news)
that is in your energy drink. Are you
really willing to take such a big risk, or let your children take such a big
risk with their lives?
Here is some good news. Recently, a company called
Valentus has developed a healthy energy drink. It contains only 4 grams of organic cane
sugar, and all natural ingredients (not dangerous laboratory created chemicals).
It is in a convenient stick pack that can simply be added to 12 - 16 ounces of water.
Ingredients:
Organic cane sugar, Inulin dietary
fiber, Citric acid, Potassium citrate, Natural cherry powder, Natural blueberry
powder, Stevia (leaf), Natural flavor, Natural caffeine from coffee bean,
Guarana seed powder, Maqui berry powder, Green tea powder, Gotu kola powder,
Maca (root) powder, Rhodiola Rosea powder, Siberian ginseng powder, Natural
color.

Are you feeling tired all the time? Having trouble sleeping? Having trouble keeping your weight down? Having lots of aches and pains all over your body?
Often, these are signs of chronic fatigue living with stress for an extended period of time. Whether it be a stressful job, marriage or relationship, or some other crisis in your life, it can be a real drain on your energy. If you are also not getting enough nutrition and are eating poorly, that can make you even more prone to fatigue.
In the March 4, 2013 episode of Dr. Oz., hormone expert Dr. Jennifer Landa (Dr. Jen) discusseed the 4 biggest energy deficiencies and their solutions. Gluten intolerance, lack of iron, and lack of iodione were seen as significant problems for a lot of people. Dr. Jen also suggested that detoxing was very important to help with fatigue.

- Antioxidants (Thai-go, Super ORAC)
- Nervous System (NutriCalm, Vitamin B Complex, Nervous Fatigue)
