Yerba Maté
Used for hundreds of years by the Guarani Indians of South America, the Yerba Maté plant is an evergreen member of the Holly family and contains one very special ingredient: mateine. While Yerba Maté perhaps contains more nutrients than any other plant, it is the mateine, a xanthine alkaloid, that provides the powerful, rejuvenating boost to your body's energy.
Mateine enhances your carbohydrate metabolism and calorie burning and improves oxygen flow to your heart. Although a cousin to caffeine, mateine doesn't produce any of caffeine's negative side effects - no jitters, nervousness, or addiction. Yet it is a powerful body booster that will improve your alertness and acuity, assist your ability to concentrate, and amplify your energy.
B Vitamins
Essential for converting fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy, B Vitamins are co-factors in the creation of your body's ATP, or energy molecules. B Vitamins also help maintain your neurotransmitter levels. Neurotransmitters are chemicals responsible for the communication of nerve cells in your body, and low levels can result in depression and fatigue.
The arsenal of B Vitamins in Pozitive Energy, including Vitamin B1, B3, B6, and B12, helps maintain your neurotransmitter level as well as strengthen and protect the sheaths of your nerve cells. In effect, B Vitamins give you more mental alertness, a better feeling of well-being, and greater energy.
Taurine
Taurine, next to glutathione, is the most abundant amino acid in your nerve and muscle tissue, and so plays a direct role in your entire body's metabolic and physiological functioning. Taurine can raise your body's energy level by stimulating the nutrient uptake of your cells and maximizing hydration and protein synthesis.
Taurine also balances your body's water levels and has an effect on your neurotransmitter levels. Used popularly in energy drinks, the most immediate effect of taurine is that it wakes you up. Taurine improves your mental alertness, increases your reaction speed, and magnifies your concentration ability.
Pyruvate
As one of the most cutting-edge solutions for increasing your energy, pyruvate contributes a molecule from the breakdown of glucose that actually goes directly into the mitochondrion of your cells to produce energy.
The cell's mitochondria is where your body's energy is produced after the breakdown of food. When pyruvate enters your mitochondria, it becomes converted into "acetyl coenzyme A," which contributes to the Kreb's cycle and the production of ATP — your body's energy molecules. Thus pyruvate has a direct ability to stimulate your body's energy, improve endurance, and lessen muscle fatigue.
Green Tea
Next to water, green tea is the most consumed beverage in the world and has been used medicinally for centuries in India and China. Green tea contains unique catechins and flavanols that make it one of the most potent antioxidants available, 25-100 times stronger than Vitamin C or E. This potent antioxidant protects you from the free radical attacks that would damage your body's cells.
Green tea increases your energy in part due to its caffeine content. Yet unlike other caffeine sources, the unique catechins and flavanols in green tea stimulate the release of noradrenaline, a chemical transmitter of nerve impulses throughout your body. With increased noradrenaline, you will feel more mental and physical alertness. In all, green tea enlivens your body with increased responsiveness, cellular strength, and energy.
Ginseng
Ginseng comes from a group of adaptogenic herbs from the Araliacae plant family. It has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a tonic that induces well-being and balance in the body, having an effect on metabolism, motivation, and performance.
Ginseng is thought to stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in the brain, encouraging the production of a cortisol-type hormone (ACTH) that increases your body's ability to deal with stress. It is a natural stimulant that will counter fatigue, improve cognitive function, and enhance athletic ability.
I took Pozitive Energy for the Mt. Evens race in Colorado. I was very surprised when I won my age group.
I find that when I take the spray that my attitude and endurance are increased … it is great! - Eileen B.
Pozitive Energy is my 4 pm pick me up. It’s when my day used to lull. I still had a couple of hours left at the office and needed to be alert and energetic. - C.W.
