We’ve all had them, well most of us. Those super potent energy drinks that leave us so amped you feel like you can stick your finger in an electric car plug-in and power that car for a week.
Honestly, here’s just a small list of the side effects:
- Anxiety
- Increased heart rate
- Insomnia
- Headaches
- Dehydration
Uh, no thanks. At Conscious Fuel, we call this “a negative attraction”. You know, like it looks super attractive, but once you have it, it reeks all sorts of negative reactions!
The 3 main ingredients in most energy drinks are:
- Carbonated water (not so bad)
- around 40 grams of sugar (from sucrose and/or glucose)
- 160 mg or more of caffeine
So why have them? Because you need more energy, of course. But really, why with all the scary ingredients and could add long lasting damage to your overall health? And if you are a gym head, or doing anything like CrossFit or strength training, you are for sure watching your macros and the sugar intake on traditional energy drinks can push you over the limits.
Thats why our go to energy drink at Conscious Fuel is without a doubt FitAid (LifeAid). We have carried them since day 1 of our vending venture and you just can’t beat the taste or the effects!
Again, our measure at Conscious Fuel:
Price, flavor profile, packaging and appearance, texture and consistency and ingredients.
