I’m sure you’ve seen the ads for those little energy shots you can get in all the drug stores and gas stations. They promise you that you won’t get that “afternoon feeling” and that you’ll get the energy of coffee without the crash ...
…except it’s not true.
Those products stimulate you with synthetic caffeine. That makes them worse than, not better than coffee. You are going to get jitters and you’re going to hit rock bottom.
The reason that happens is that caffeine causes you to release an “energy transmitter” in your brain. The problem is that the caffeine causes depletion of this “energy transmitter.” Then, you feel worse than you did to start with.
But there is a solution. We can now put together nutrients that cause your body to produce more of this substance, rather than release your stores and deplete your supply.
When you produce more “energy transmitter,” you’ll feel more energetic. And the more you take, the more energetic you feel, instead of giving you that “burned out” feeling like caffeine does.
And it gets even better. Also, I’ve recently found a nutrient that’s the only substance that can reliably boost VO2 max – your “human horsepower.”
VO2 max is the amount of oxygen you can use in a given period. When you increase it, you increase energy and stamina.
A recent study published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism showed that this nutrient, called quercetin, can dramatically increase energy and endurance in active, healthy adults – even if you’re not in an exercise training program.13
People in the study who took quercetin experienced a 13.2 percent increase in their athletic performance and a 3.9 percent increase in VO2 max.
Can you imagine what a 13.2 percent performance boost would have done for Lance Armstrong? He could have won his last Tour de France by more than 10 hours!
But quercetin isn’t just for athletes who are tested to the extreme. It’s also for average adults who battle fatigue and stress daily. So now, on those days when you struggle to put one foot in front of the other, quercetin can help put the bounce back in your step.
It’s the best combination of nutrients for energy you’ll find in the entire world. In fact, it was in my travels around the world that I found these nutrients that are so much better than coffee.
