New Energy Drink hit the market with an update like never before. These are Kim Kardashian's Update Energy Drinks which the name says it all as they are updated to a new method. What makes these different is that instead of using caffeine as the energy, they are using what caffeine has broken down into as the source of energy. In a way it's a cool idea but comes with something we are not used to and kind of feels like a medicine rather than energy. Well, let's get to this new style of energy.
Comes in 5 flavors which I love all of the flavors as they all come with a background of cream taste and vanilla.
Peach - This one reminds me of Barbie as it is creamy and sweet along with that touch of peach. Life is lovely is what this flavor tells me.
Mandarin - Even though this is citrus, it comes in a vanilla tone and sweet too.
Grape - Kind of starts sour but then sweetness comes along with it.
Berry - So good in every sip with variety forms of berries along with creamy taste.
Pineapple - very suiting in sweet tone and fresh flavor that starts sour then becomes sweet.
My favorite flavor is the peach because it just feels so pleasing and suiting the way that the peach comes in a vanilla tone of way.
What Caffeine Breaks into?
The liver breaks down the caffeine into 3 metabolites:
Paraxanthine
Theobromine
Theophylline.
of these 3, 70% to 80% of it is Paraxanthine so I guess that is why they put Paraxanthine in the beverage and not all 3.
Caffeine is Mystery
Even though these Update Energy Drinks contain what the caffeine has broken down into. It doesn't specify how much caffeine would have taken for it to be equal to the amount of Paraxanthine in the beverage. It says that it has 300mg of Paraxanthine but doesn't specify how much caffeine it takes to get it to that much. This said, it may be safe or not safe to an individual not knowing exactly how much caffeine it would have been taken to equal to that amount.
For example, I like to not pass over 160mg of caffeine from energy drinks. Therefore, my body is already used to that amount of Paraxanthine it would have broken from 160mg of caffeine. In other words, if 300mg of Paraxanthine is from over 160mg of caffeine than it would be discomfort for me.
I think Caffeine is better
With caffeine you can get all 3 of the metabolites rather than just the paraxanthine from these drinks. That said, I think it is more suiting and more reliable to get full caffeine and let it break down on its own and get full support from it rather than just the portion of it.
Alpha-GPC (GeniusPure) 315mg
I guess the Paraxanthine is not enough they want to make sure we are alert so they added this Alpha-GPC and 315mg of it. This is now turning into a medicine rather than energy.
All this said, just give me some Yerba Mate Tea and let the magic do its work naturally.
