When you’re feeling lethargic and tired, it’s not enough to merely increase your physical energy. No, you actually have to supercharge your brain! An effective energy drink needs to provide steady energy for both your body AND your mind. You should expect increased alertness, focus, and vitality, as well.
Imagine the sun’s rays are bathing you in their light; that’s how an effective energy drink should work. Your mind should “wake up” to increased energy, alertness and focus. We’ve formulated Skinny Gazelle with nutrients shown to promote benefits for mental and emotional health, as well as mood. These include:
-
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) – required for the formation of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which transmits signals between nerve cells and the brain. Vitamin C may also promote alertness, and reduce sleepiness and hunger. As it is an antioxidant, it’s vital to maintaining healthy nerve cell. Research indicates that vitamin C may help to prevent the dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease, as well.
-
Folate (folic acid) – among this B vitamin’s benefits may be those for neurological and mental health. In a published study in Lancet, men and women over the age of 50 were given 800 mcg of folate daily. These subjects experienced improved short-term memory, mental agility and verbal fluency.
-
Endurlac™ Glucuronolactone – among the many proposed benefits of this chemical compound are those for mental and neurological health. A published study in Physiology & Behavior found that this nutrient may reduce fatigue and sleepiness, and sleep-related driving incidents in particular. Research illustrates this nutrient’s benefits for improving mental performance, reaction time, concentration and memory. It may also benefit moods, by providing a sense of well-being
-
L-Tyrosine – this amino acid is responsible for producing neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine. Men and women suffering from depression may have abnormal levels of L-tyrosine metabolism; these people may benefit from supplementation. In a study published in Brain Research Bulletin, a protein drink containing 10 grams of tyrosine was consumed daily by cadets undergoing a stressful six-day combat training course. They experienced improved mental performance scores. Tyrosine may also preserve mental performance during such physically stressful conditions as noise or extreme cold.
-
L-phenylalanine (LPA) – like other essential amino acids, LPA converts to various substances, including neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine. Studies show that LPA may elevate moods, while also enhancing memory, alertness and learning.
