Why 400mg caffeine? Is that really safe?
For healthy adults, the FDA has cited 400mg a day as an amount not generally associated with dangerous, negative effects. However, everyone is unique in how sensitive they are to the effects of caffeine, so we recommend starting with a half a can of Go Juice Energy to asses your tolerance.
Does caffeine really give you energy?
It’s not as straightforward as that. Its more like caffeine blocks your fatigue: Caffeine binds to the adenosine receptors in your brain. Adenosine makes us feel tired. So when caffeine binds to these receptors and keeps the adenosine from binding it creates an opposite effect of stimulating alertness.
What gives me that awesome tingling sensation?
That’s the powerhouse ingredient called beta-alanine! This amno acid enhances muscular endurance during high intensity exercise and reduces muscular fatigue… and sometimes you can feel it working!
What is a nootropic?
Nootropics are substances that enhance cognition, memory, creativity and facilitate learning. Our nootropic ingredients include:
Phenylethylamine HCL (PEA) which can have a positive impact on creativity, help reduce the sensation of stress and anxiety and lessen mental distractions. Huperzine A which is a nootropic alkaloid isolated from a Chinese herb and as been proposed as a promising agent to help improve memory function. Guarana that has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac and energy/endurance booster.
What is an adaptogen?
Adaptogens are herbs that are believed to stimulate the body’s resistance to physical, environmental, and emotional stressors.
The Schisandra in Go Juice Energy has adaptogenic qualities that are proposed to reduce both mental and physical stress by reducing the effects of cortisol and fighting adrenal fatigue.
