5. QUESTION:
   What could i use that is a legal source of pure energy?
   I need energy and I'm trying to find a source that would eliminate energy drinks and things like vitamins.

   • ANSWER:
     Complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, potatoes, muesli etc release energy slowly in a controlled manner for endurance.

     Simple carbohydrates like glucose and sugar release it quickly for energy bursts.

     This is where you would get any 'energy' from. "Energy drinks" are of course basically a con, they might have sugar in them but that's about it.

6. QUESTION:
   Whats in Energy Drinks and How are they Different than pure Caffeine?
   I always get the jitters from energy drinks but not from coffee. It could be the increased dose vs that from coffee but I doubt that. What do you think? What is in energy drinks that make them different than pure Caffeine?

   • ANSWER:
     Energy drinks, compared with caffeine alone, is a combination of sugars, water, taurine, etc.
     Energy drinks also contain caffeine to heighten the alertness of a person for quite a while. Caffeine, as in the case of coffee, is enough to keep you awake for approx. 4 hours without sugar.

   Dudesons energy drink?
   I've been trying to find a site to buy the dudesons energy drink Pure! So far i have been unsuccessful, anyone know how to get some. I am in America don't know if they have a separate site.

   • ANSWER:
     If you know "where" it's manufactured then you could call their local chamber of commerce and they would give you the phone number. Did you try to Google it? If it's something from overseas then you'll most likely pay a fortune for it but if you love it that much then maybe it's worth it to you!!

     Good luck!!

10. QUESTION:
    How can I get pure caffiene without using a pill or energy drink, Interested in making my own drink.?
    I want to make my own energy drink to sell to my friends and Im at a very large school and I am confident that it will get atleast a little bit big because I know a large ammount of people who will buy it. So I dont want to use some caffiene pill and get in trouble for using there product. I dont know if they could tell but I dont want to get in trouble for that. At my school there are multiple people running businesses so dont worry about me getting into trouble at school, I wont

    Pretty much I just want to know...
    Whats the esiest way to get a large ammount of caffiene without using anothers product, Say some kind of food or something. Remember a large ammount like 100mg caffiene per glass. Thanks )))

    • ANSWER:
      You may not get in trouble for running a business, but you`re technically administering a drug and that CAN cause trouble. Yes, caffeine is a drug, and unless you just so happened to study biochemistry in highschool (which you haven`t, you won`t see it until 2nd or 3rd year of university) then there is no way your drink can be safe.
      Energy drinks may be all the rage these days, but they`re still full of side effects and can cause serious problems that are often overlooked.
      That said, you can get caffeine in pill form, and there is a product called Fein that can be added to any drink.

11. QUESTION:
    What is your favorite energy drink and why?
    I love Monster Khaos. It is a juice and I like OJ. Plus it has a great taste with natural energy. (Ginseng, Taurine, B vitamins)

    I also like XS drinks...no sugar, no carbs. A lot of them don't have caffeine either, they are pure vitamins. They have great taste and many different flavors.

    • ANSWER:
      the TAB energy drink, it's delicious and PINK, which is always a selling point. i hate the taste of red bull, and it makes me shake if i have more than one can of it anyway

12. QUESTION:
    Is pure alcohol heats faster than water ? Is water holds more heat energy than pure or drinking alcohol?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, alcohol has a lower specific density than water so takes less energy to heat an equivalent volume.

      Water holds more energy because it has a higher specific density than alcohol so can hold more energy for an equal volume of fluids.

13. QUESTION:
    isn't it unhealthy to put sugar and salt in water and drink it for energy for sports?
    i think it helps, but is it healthy to eat/drink pure sugar like that?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, I don't understand, are you mixing the sugar and salt in yourself? Sounds like that wouldn't be tasty. I assume your asking about Gatorade and why sugar and salt would be in there.

      The answer is no, it is not unhealthy. In fact, it is in there because your body needs them and needs them together. Here is why to the best of my ability: You cells have gateways to them called symporters that allow the movement of ions back and forth across their membrane. Now, they don't allow just anything through, and to ensure this they have mechanisms. One of them is that they sometimes won't allow one ion through unless a second one is present. Glucose, or sugar, cannot pass into a cell unless NaCl, or salt, is present. So together they bind into the symporter, changing the shape of it, opening the door, and effectively allowing glucose into where it is needed. By having electrolytes, or salt, freely available you make the transport of glucose much more effective, and thus your workout much more effective, because your muscles are being supplied with energy.

      Without salt glucose has less to bind to, the symporter action is less optimal, and so your going to fatigue sooner. But, this action is more necessary during high energy burning periods. So you don't need to drink Gatorade all the time, everything will keep it itself pretty well balanced by itself.

14. QUESTION:
    My German cousin has never tasted a Monster Energy drink. Should I give him one?

15. QUESTION:
    Brown Dirt/Sand on rim of a bottled drink?
    So I bought a G Pure Energy drink today and when I opened it, there was brown sand/dirt on the rim of the bottle and in the bottle cap. I already left the store and was extremely thirsty so I just wiped it off and drank it anyways. Needless to say, afterward I was pretty grossed out by what that could have been. What do you think it was? When I wiped it off it felt sandy in texture and it was light brown with no smell....How did dirt get in my bottle!?!

    • ANSWER:
      It probably was dirt, or even dried liquid from inside the bottle. Don't worry about the facdt that you drank it. You won't get sick and die, or probably not even get sick at all. You'll be fine. It could have gotten in/on your bottle because it was not sealed properly

16. QUESTION:
    How much drink to take on an 8 hour cycle ride?
    I have some isotonic energy drink powder that is added to water to make a drink.

    Will i need to take pure water aswell, or just take energy drink?

    I was thinking of taking some fruit and sammiches for lunch, is this good, what would you recommend?

    I'm not sure how far the ride is. We are just gonna ride for 4 hours, stay for lunch, then ride back.

    • ANSWER:
      Take two water bottles and take a sip of water every 15 min. Plain water is the best energy drinks just make you thirstier. For energy take along a banana and apple and some candy to eat while you ride. Some people like trail mix but my favorite is Good and Plenty. If you are packing your lunch peanut butter sandwiches are good. I am sure there are places to replenish your water supply or grab an extra snack. Load up on carbs the day before the ride so you start out with a good glycogen supply. Pasta is the best.

17. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried that 5-Minute Energy drink?
    The 5-Minute Energy Drink is a small 2-ounce bottle of pure vitamins which is supposed to increase your energy naturally for five hours without a groggy "crash".

    Has anyone tried this? Does it work as they say it does?

18. QUESTION:

    i thought coffee always stood for energy...right? well on the new monster mean bean drink on the bottom of the can it says "coffee + energy." isn't that REDUNDANCY at it's purest form? i mean i'd rather say atm machine then say that this drink has coffee and energy in it.

    my brother said that he saw another drink that wasn't by monster that boasts the same claims redundant claims. what is the deal on this? am i missing something?

    • ANSWER:
      It's coffee combined with the energy blend that monster puts in all their other energy drinks.

      Can you think of any other coffees that are supplemented with vitamins, taurine and ginseng?

      Besides, it makes sense when you look at monsters other products. Juice drinks say "juice + energy", coffees say "coffee + energy", chai tea says "tea + energy".

19. QUESTION:

21. QUESTION:
    Are any of these harmful in an energy drink?
    Okay all of this is in Spaz energy drink. And I am doing a paper on it but i'm not sure if any of these ingredients are harmful.. Please help.. : ) thnx in advance. : )

    Carbonated pure water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, citric acid, taurine, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, caffeine, inositol, guarana, ginseng, niacin, d-calcium pantothenate, pyrodoxin hydrochloride (vitamin B6), blue 1, cyancobalamin (vitamin B12).

    • ANSWER:
      the carbonated water is like soda and (ie pepsi )
      sugar ...!
      fructose is fruit sugar
      citric acid is the lemon acid
      flavors also like pepsi candy .... etc
      sodium benzoate is used so the food won't go bad (if you bought jam or canned food take a look )
      caffeine is just cofee
      ginseng is natural complementary that is got from the root of the plan by the same name (although it is manufactured now because of the cost ) and is believed to make the circulation in the brain better
      niacin is vitamin b
      taurine is an organic acid. It is also a major constituent of bile and can be found in lower amounts in the tissues of many animals including humans.
      potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Its primary use is as a food preservative (E number 202). Potassium sorbate is effective in a variety of applications including food, wine, and personal care( also for the food not to go bad )
      inositol is a substance inside your body in eukaryotic cells (found in cerials )
      guarana is a plant ( it's fruit contains five times more caffeine then coffee )
      although most of color and falvour (and some other stuff (like inhibitors)) are believed to be bad for health (but it is used with very small amounts )
      hope that answered your question well

22. QUESTION:
    Could I use corn syrup as an energy drink?
    The primary reason energy drinks work is because of a synergy between glucose and caffeine, mainly. Corn syrup is basically pure glucose.

    Monsters work really good for me, but they are too expensive and I can't afford one every day. Caffeine/coffee alone are too short lasting, and I build up a tolerance too quickly. So I just got an idea... buy some corn syrup and mix it with coffee. Theoretically this should produce a cheap, yet effective substitute for energy drinks?

    Is there any reason why this wouldn't be better than just caffeine/coffee alone (besides health reasons)?

    Also I know about the health concerns... but right now, having energy during the day is something that is utterly important. I've tried sleeping for 6 hours, 10, 20, it doesn't matter... I might have an underlying health/sleeping problem but right now I don't have the time or money or fix that. All I know is that energy drinks are the only thing that work, and I can't afford them at the moment. So I just want to know if there's any reason that a mixture of corn syrup and coffee wouldn't be almost as effective as a monster. Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds fine to me. A strong coffee and glucose would really get you going ! Good luck !

      When you have time to get a check-up, ask your doctor about sleep apnea. If you are sleeping well and still very tired, that could be the reason.

23. QUESTION:
    Should hypoglycemic people consume energy shots?
    Despite my health problem I commonly consume energy drinks and, occassionally, energy shots. I bought one recently called Seven Hour Energy and on the bottle it mentions people with medical conditions shouldn't consume it. I don't have a problem with other energy products but want to be sure with this one before I try it...

    It has 0 calories and carbs and contains175 mg caffeine, N-accetyl, L-Tyrosine, Beta-Alanine, DL-Phenylalanine, L-Phenylalanine, and Evoburn (pure Evodiamine).

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      hypoglycemic people should not consume energy shots, they (and caffeine) raise your metabolism exasperating your hypoglycemia.

24. QUESTION:
    Question about energy intake?

26. QUESTION:
    What happens to the caffeine extracted from decaf?
    I've heard that now something like 10% of coffee is decaf. That would be thousands of tons of coffee that's been stripped of caffeine, and thus, thousands of litres of pure caffeine. Do they put it all in those high-potency energy drinks like Red Bull, and V? What a cushy bizzo! Make one person pay for taking the caffeine out of her drink, and make the person next to her pay for putting that caffeine back into his

    • ANSWER:
      Most of the caffeine removed in processing is manufactured for use in other products, such as medicines and soft drinks. For example, less than 5 percent of the caffeine found in cola drinks is actually from the kola nut, and many of the popular "high caffeine" soft drinks do not contain kola nut extracts at all. The caffeine content of soft drinks is primarily, and sometimes completely, from the addition of caffeine extracted from decaffeination processes.

    thx

    • ANSWER:
      Don't even bother. They're bad for your health! Same as energy drinks - they are worse!
      They make you slow down because of all the sugar. Even if you think you're getting this energy high, you're not.

29. QUESTION:
    Is this dangerous for a fetus/embryo?
    If the mother-to-be drinks pure coffee, energy drinks, and herbal teas (diet tea) on a regular basis 2-3 times a day, does that makes it unhealthy or dangerous for a few weeks old fetus/embryo?......what would the consequences be?

    • ANSWER:
      Coffee isn't teratogenic, but it can cause low birth weight to the baby. She should eat healthier food. If she's mistreating the baby like this now, imagine what a crappy mother she'll be when the baby comes out.

      People like that should be sterilized.

30. QUESTION:
    Protein drink or a protein supplement?
    hi frnds...i have started to goto a gym since the past 3 months..my trainer has asked me to try a protein supplement...so i hv started to have a protein drink instead called "Protinex" ...its known worldover...but m nt sure if it helps u to gain muscle mass or jst an energy drink... wht i want 2 knw is if i shl continue this or go for some Coach Formula/ Super Power Mass they have in d gym as my trainer said they r harmless n can be taken...but d prob is m nt sure if they work/have side effects in the long run...to add my weight is 59kg and i am a pure veg so i dnt hv any sources of proteins frm natural food like meat/eggs...hope ppl will guide me here..thanks....raj

    • ANSWER:
      Frequently trainers will attempt to market a 3rd party brand at a marked up price to get some extra bucks in their pockets. I am reasonably well familiar with all the major protein powder brands and I have never heard of this product, so I looked it up. Yes, I see that it apparently comes from India, so I guess that qualifies as "worldover". Compare the price per pound you get on the powders at the gym to what you can get online. Chances are good that you will do better online.

      Brands of protein that I have used:
      AST Sports Science: http://www.ast-ss.com
      EAS: http://www.eas.com/
      Labrada: http://www.labrada.com

      All of the above are good name brand companies with a good reputation in the community.

      Places that I have shopped online:
      http://www.netrition.com/
      http://www.dpsnutrition.net/
      http://www.ezpricematch.com/

      The last link is the one I have been using most often. If I find a lower price than theirs anywhere on the web, they will beat that price by 5%.

      Now, the other issue I see here is that your desire is to be pure vegetarian. That is a bit of an issue since I really recommend whey protein.

      Many vegetarians try soy protein, but soy is only healthy for you in a fermented form such as Miso. Unfermented soy causes many problems. Read these articles for details:

31. QUESTION:
    some caffeine pure powder measurements?? PLEASE HELP!! i cant find this ANYWHERE.?
    I have 100 grams of pure caffeine which equals 100,000 milligrams.
    Now i need to find out how many milligrams of pure caffeine are there in a 1/8 teaspoon.
    I really need accurate answers,I'm testing new products for an energy drink company im starting. thanks:)

    • ANSWER:
      It is really shameful how little information there is on the internet. The problem arises from the fact that a gram is a measure of mass, not volume. However, according to one site, 1/8th of a teaspoon of pure caffeine is approximately 210 milligrams. According to another site, 1/10th of a teaspoon is 200 milligrams. According to another site, 1/8th of a teaspoon is 400 milligrams.

      1/8th of a teaspoon is probably 210 milligrams; I have seen this on several sites. But please do not take my word for it and kill yourself! (Never ingest more than 200 milligrams of caffeine at once; it's pretty easy to overdose on pure caffeine.) Start with 1/16th of a teaspoon, which seems like a safe dose, and work up; if at any time you feel like you've taken too much, don't take any more!

32. QUESTION:
    Can I make tea at home and sell it online legally?
    Ok I want to make Tea at home and sell it online at one of my websites.

    I have pure caffeine and when I put it into tea you cant taste the caffeine at all, So can I legally make tea put caffeine in it and sell it online. Or do I have to go through the FDA, Because an Energy drink does not go through the FDA I know this. It is a energy supplement.

    • ANSWER:
      You have to pass the local health dept. first, then the State health dept , and then have it made at a food processing plant.

34. QUESTION:
    Can someone please help me out?
    Im 15 and just going into grade 10, im always tired. I have tried many things but yet i still cant seem to not feel tired. I mean i have tried energy drinks sleeping more and even drinking pure sugars but i still seem tired. So my question is, is there any herbs out there that i can eat or brew into a tea that will wake me up more or give me more energy if i eat/drink?

    these herbs have to be safe and not illegal and easy to find.

    • ANSWER:
      Sleep more, I know it's hard to imagine (I just graduated High School, I know your pain)

      you have to go to bed every night at a decent time (I always found 9-10 to be good)

      I found that the time I spent not studying was more than made up for the fact that I was wide awake all day, plus I was a lot happier in general because my day wasn't a caffeine induced hell

      I got into a good university (8th best in the world) so yeah, you can make this work and still keep your grades up...

      of course, if you're just trying to stay up later to play Halo 3 and WoW, then I've always liked diet monster.

    Why does drinking juice make you feel energized?
    I know its healthy for you to drink but what specifically gives you energy and make you feel better overall? I recently switched from drinking soda, coffee, high sugared drinks to pure fruit juice and lots of water and I've never felt this energized in my life after 2 weeks

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Dear

      Juices contain natural sugars and when you extract juice 3 or 4 fruits will make a glass of Juice. i.e. Juices have more calories and calories give you Energy to function. If these calories are not metabolised then they are stored in the Body in the form of Fat. If you have weight problems I would suggest you to switch over to Fruits instead of Juice

37. QUESTION:
    Why does nitrogen produce smaller bubbles than carbon dioxide in liquids?
    A few companies produce beer or energy drinks or other drinks with nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide. The bubbles are nearly microscopic if pure nitrogen is used, and we all know how easy it is to see carbon dioxide bubbles in coke and such... So what is it about nitro?

    • ANSWER:
      CO2 disssolves somewhat and N2 does not

38. QUESTION:
    Pure Caffeine?
    I am testing the effects of caffeine on people (yes, legally lol) and was wondering what is the best way to get the caffeine.
    Can I get it in pure caffeine tablets from the chemist, or anything of such.
    I don't want to use energy drinks or coffee, because other factors such as sugar come into effect.

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Caffeine in a tablet is NOT pure. It has binders, and other stuff in there to hold the tablet together. The only way I know of to get caffeine in a pure, unadulterated form is from a chemical supply house, like Sigma chemical company, or a similar research supply firm. I actually happen to have some from Sigma and use it in research.

      You should certainly avoid things like coffee, juice, dairy, soda, energy drinks... ok, actually anything besides water for at least three hours before you sing. Still having some phlegm? Brush your teeth (I'm serious here). Also, I often use a warm lemon water gargle before performing; helps cut the phlegm really well for a clean tone. (Squeeze half a fresh lemon into a coffee cup full of warm water and mix well.)

    Would peanut butter make me lean without bread!! trying to get 6 packs...Also i dont drink no protien shack!?
    Hi, so i have started on this new diet which means no bread what so ever...I recently started to eat about 4 spoons of peanut butter 2 in the morning and 2 evening before my workout, also my meal through the day includes pure tuna, chicken and raw eggs ... I think peanut butter will give me enough fuel to maintian energy....I dont drink protien shack at all.. pelase advise me about my diet, is it good, not to drink protien shack and drink 2 raw eggs/ eat pure red meat with no bread...

    • ANSWER:
      What I think is that you should drink some more milk and water throughout the day. No offense but I seriously think that it is totally unhealthy because in the morning you are supposed to get the ENERGY (or the vitamins, probably) from the cereal/fruit/milk for breakfast.

      If this helps, maybe you should start..

      Eating more fruit and veggies. (corn, carrots, cherries, watermelon, etc!)

      Excercise for atleast one hour for 5-6 days a week

      Before you eat all of that food, think about this -------> "Am I hungry or do I only want to eat?"

      Walk your dog, do some yoga, go to a gym, just MOVE your body!!

      I seriously hope that this helps you!

42. QUESTION:
    Wouldn't snorting pure caffeine be much, much healthier than normal methods of consumption?
    Although snorting drugs isn't usually associated with "good health", if you think about it, it seems it maybe should be in terms of caffeine.

    Alot of people, including me, basically need caffeine to function and get through the day. People take it by drinking it is sugary sodas and energy drinks, or eating it in chocolate. These methods work to get the caffeine in your blood stream, sure, but with it comes diabetes, obesity, stained teeth, ext.

    Snorting pure caffeine extract, on the other hand, would get it into your blood stream much faster than any other method, including pills, so it not only seems the healthiest way to me, but also the most efficient. Your thoughts on this? And please dont answer if your completely uneducated about anything i just said

    • ANSWER:
      Actually, the most direct way to get caffine into your bloodstream would be to inject it with a syringe. Which in a way is just wrong. If perforating your nasal passageway with caffine isn't bad enough then apparently stabbing yourself with a needle is okay then, am I right?

      Can't say I completely agree with this.

47. QUESTION:
    Lemonade and Water Detox, I want purer skin and more energy?
    My dad told me that if you drink only water and lemonade for 10 days your skin gets healthier you get and you get more energy and it kills all the impurities and bad stuff in your body, has anyone ever tried it, and does it work?? please help want to start it this friday (thats if it works of course) =]

    • ANSWER:
      A water and lemonade detox for 10 days will not make your skin get healthier. That diet lacks the needed vitamins, nutrients, and foods that are essential for healthy skin. Your dad is probably refering to that fad master cleanse diet which is just that, a fad diet that can cause more harm then good if done for that long of a period. I wont get into too much detail about what can happen but when you body goes for so long without real food your body enters starvation or survival mode. This is when your body starts storing anything it can and burns off muscle on your body so it can keep your vital organs running for as long as possible. Does that sound healthy? Its not.

      Your body is naturally detoxing every minute, every hour, every day. Our bodies are built to handle the strains of waste and impurities. Why do so many people think that for some reason our body can not handle anything on its own and we need to try and jump in and help it in totally unhealthy way (By cutting off its vitamins, nutrients for it to work properly). Ways we can help our bodies manage the waste by-products is by drinking lots of water and controlling what food we give it in the first place. Simply make sure you get the recommended amount of water a day (around .66 times your body weight in ounces) and start feeding it with healthy foods and vitamins essential for a better body and healthier skin. Perhaps start taking a multi-vitamin to make sure you are helping give yoru body the recommended amount so it can perform at its peak. Do this will help a lot better then resorting to lemonade for all of your health.
