Here comes a rant!

I just noticed the full ingredients of Red Bull, I don’t use such drinks so this is the first time I have looked closely.

"Energy Drink?" I disagree!

Training sessions at the Genesis Performance Center can be hard work! And I know of clients that sometimes take an “energy drink” like red bull to get themselves ready for a hard training session.

THAT IS A MISTAKE

Look at the ingredients of red bull. The stimulant is of course caffeine. I have actually no problem with this, in fact coffee is good for you pre workout with some heavy cream (which is fat that slows the absorption) so make it a slow release fat burner and energy drink.

Here is the problem…

Red bull has caffine + sugar – This means sugar + caffine RUSH and the resulting downer after that.

Not only does this give you a downer, energy drinks have… Taurine! Do you know who I recommend taurine to? Patients who can’t sleep! It’s a down regulating nutrient. Now why would that be in an energy drink?

To give you a bigger downer RIGHT AFTER your caffine/sugar high! Guess what happens after that? You buy ANOTHER energy drink! Thats some sneaky ingredient usage there isn’t it. Buyer beware.

So… stick with coffee + cream as well as some Branch Chain Amino Acids pre training.
