The Magic of Starbucks Coffee from Atlanta Vending Pros Office Coffee Services and Vending Business

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:12:00 +0000

Not so long ago, our mornings wouldn’t be complete without the smell of the coffee beans in our house while dad sips from the cup and reads the paper. But who would have thought back then that the usual cup of coffee that mom prepares for dad will be done outside and be a huge coffee company that sells like hotcakes, internationally.

Now, our mornings have changed so much that it wouldn’t be complete without the 7am stop by to grab that white cup with a green logo sized “venti” coffee.

How did it happen that such aroma we always loved to smell at home is now done outside? Well, thanks to “Starbucks”.

Someone who’d ask “Who is Starbucks?” does deserve a knock.

Starbucks has spread like the yellow big capital M we see in every corner streets. The difference is it doesn’t sell “burger mac” but “venti latte”.

The Magic of Starbucks

Most, if not all, have probably raised their eyebrows for either they didn’t buy the idea of sipping their coffee outside the office and home or they couldn’t take to spend money for a cup of coffee.

But like magic, Starbucks has made the impossible to become possible. The unbelievable became believable. And the unusual became usual. A life that existed without Starbucks became a life that couldn’t exist without Starbucks. The office coffee break can be a great work booster that a great vending company like Atlanta Vending Pros office coffee services can provide for any business in the Atlanta market.

How a Coffee Service Can Save You Money

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:14:00 +0000

n office coffee service can save you money in surprising ways. That may seem to go against the traditional wisdom that says doing something yourself is always cheaper than paying for a service, but providing coffee for your office staff and clients can add up in the accounting books in places where you don’t see it. Contracting with an office coffee service can increase productivity, increase staff and customer satisfaction with your company and reduce the unexpected overhead costs of coffee in your office.

Is coffee costing your company money?

If your company provides coffee for the staff and clients, then you probably think you have a pretty good idea of what your coffee costs are. Bankrate.com, one of the premier finance websites on the Internet, points out costs that few businesses consider when totaling the cost of providing coffee service for their employees. Among those “hidden” costs are the amount of time it takes to shop for break room coffee supplies and the time your accountant or bookkeeper spends tracking coffee expenses for your annual expense reports. Those may seem minor, but when you consider how much you are paying your accountant, it can add up surprisingly fast.

Believe it or not, even those businesses that do not have a break room on premises where they provide coffee for their staff and customers could be losing money by not employing a coffee service. When you provide coffee service on premises, none of your employees are leaving the building to pick up coffee at the local coffee shop; trips that add up in terms of lost productivity and time out of the office. By contracting with a coffee service to provide fine coffee for your employees, you can increase the amount of time that your employees are at work and focused on their jobs.

Can a coffee service increase your company’s profits?

The surprising answer to that question is “absolutely!” Here are just some of the ways that providing coffee through a coffee service can affect your bottom line.

- Providing coffee service for your staff improves employee morale.
Happier employees are more productive employees. While coffee may seem like a very small thing in the larger scheme of things, providing good coffee (especially free good coffee) to your employees’ rates very high with them. In a number of surveys, researchers asked employees to name something that their employer does that makes them feel valued and appreciated. In nearly every survey, more employees named free coffee than any other perk.

- Offering fine coffee to your customers increases their positive feelings about your company.
Anything you do to make customer or client experience with your company will show up in your bottom line, even if it can’t be easily quantified. Offering your customers a cup of gourmet coffee is one way to make them feel valued and appreciated. This is a lesson learned by high-end hair stylists, doctor and dentist offices and even upscale retail stores. Give your customers good coffee, and they will leave feeling far more appreciated, which can translate into a better bottom line for your business.

- Coffee can improve focus and can increases productivity.
A recent study measured productivity in workers who drank coffee during the day against the productivity of workers who do not drink coffee at the office. They found that workers who drank coffee at their desks were more focused on their work and completed more work than their co-workers who did not. The difference between the two groups of workers became more marked as the day went on. In fact, most of the coffee drinkers avoided the typical mid-afternoon slump in productivity entirely. A good coffee service can improve your bottom line by increasing productivity and reducing errors. Not to mention, your employees most likely will not be heading out the door to grab a coffee at the local coffee shop if they have a great coffee service providing coffee in the break room.

Using an office coffee service is less expensive

In many cases, the coffee service will provide a high-end coffee maker for your office for free as long as you purchase a minimum amount of coffee from them. Depending on the quality of the coffee that you choose, a coffee service for your office will cost between 4 cent and 19 cents per cup; the 19 cent figure is for Starbucks coffee from a coffee service. The machines ranges from double burner pour-over coffee makers to fancy bean-to-cup coffee machines that dispense gourmet espresso, complete with frothed milk.

If you are considering providing coffee for your office, or if you already provide free coffee for employees and customers, take a look at what a coffee service can do to save you money on your coffee.

Carpe Diem Club Coca-Cola’s top secret recipe uncovered?

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 08:44:00 +0000

Alcohol, coriander oil and nutmeg oil are among the ingredients listed in what a radio show claims is the original recipe for Coca-Cola.

A public radio show in the US claims to have uncovered the top secret recipe for Coca-Cola.

Weekly radio show This American Life, based out of Chicago, says they’ve discovered the original recipe, buried quietly in the back pages of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution circa 1979 — a publication dedicated to the birthplace of this caramel-colored soda pop.

According to the recipe chronicled in the Atlanta periodical, the following are key ingredients in Coca-Cola’s top secret mix that give the fizzy drink its distinctive flavor, also known as 7X: alcohol, orange oil, lemon oil, nutmeg oil and coriander oil.

Since its creation in 1886, Coca-Cola has kept its formula a jealously guarded trade secret, spinning elaborate, public relations mythologies about the ingredients and the people who know them.

For example, the only official written copy is supposedly held under lock and key in a US vault; only two people at any given time know the secret formula; and they’re not allowed to take the same plane in the event it crashes and the trade secrets are taken to the grave.

The formula was supposedly first penned to paper by a friend of John Pemberton, the pharmacist who created the beverage 125 years ago. In addition to the secret recipe for Coca-Cola, the pharmacist’s log of handwritten ingredients for tonics and balms was handed down for generations until it found its way into the hands of a columnist who published the formula with what the radio host described as “little fanfare.”

According to the recipe found in the Atlanta periodical, the following are key ingredients to the soft drink’s top secret mix, also known as 7X:

List of ingredients:

Fluid extract of Coca 3 drams USP

Citric acid 3 oz

Caffeine 1oz

Sugar 30

Water 2.5 gal

Lime juice 2 pints 1 qrt

Vanilla 1oz

Caramel 1.5oz or more to colour

7X flavor:

Alcohol 8oz

Orange oil 20 drops

Lemon oil 30 drops

Nutmeg oil 10 drops

Coriander 5 drops

Neroli 10 drops

Cinnamon 10 drops

Since its creation in 1886, Coca-Cola has kept its formula a jealously guarded trade secret, spinning elaborate, public relations mythologies about the ingredients and the people who know them.

Coca-Cola's 'secret ingredient revealed'

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 08:37:00 +0000

An American radio station has allegedly unveiled the recipe for one of Coca-Cola's key secret ingredients.…

Often duplicated but never replicated, the Coca-Cola recipe has been a well-kept secret for years.
Created by medicinal pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886, the exact measures of each ingredient that make up the world-famous soft drink have been closely guarded - until now.
American public radio show Thisamericanlife.org claims to have uncovered a list of ingredients and their exact quantities to mix the perfect Coca-Cola drink.
A photo from the 8th February 1979 editorion of American daily newspaper, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, shows a person holding open a book with a recipe, which is allegedly an exact copy of Pemberton’s.
The recipe is said to contain the precise amount of all the different oils needed to create Merchandise 7X, Coca-Cola’s secret ingredient.
Even though Merchandise 7X makes up only one percent of the drink’s formula, the key ingredient is believed to give one of the world’s most popular soft drink its unique taste.
The official recipe is allegedly guarded 24-hours a day in a vault in Atlanta, Georgia.

Here is the ‘secret recipe’:

Fluid extract of Coca 3 drams USP
Citric acid 3 oz
Caffeine 1oz
Sugar 30 (it is unclear from the markings what quantity is required)
Water 2.5 gal
Lime juice 2 pints 1 qrt
Vanilla 1oz
Caramel 1.5oz or more to colour
7X flavour (use 2oz of flavour to 5 gals syrup): secret ingredient
Alcohol 8oz
Orange oil 20 drops
Lemon oil 30 drops
Nutmeg oil 10 drops
Coriander 5 drops
Neroli 10 drops
Cinnamon 10 drops

Coca-Cola : History

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 08:35:00 +0000

History: Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.

Trivia:

1) Coke was created as a response to Prohibition in Atlanta in 1886

2) The first sales were at Jacob’s pharmacy in Atlanta

3) When launched Coca-Cola’s two key ingredients were cocaine (benzoylmethyl ecgonine) and caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nut, leading to the name Coca-Cola (the “K” in Kola was replaced with a “C” for marketing purposes)

4) The exact formula of Coca-Cola’s natural flavorings is a trade secret. The original copy of the formula is held in SunTrust Bank’s main vault in Atlanta. Its predecessor, the Trust Company, was the underwriter for the Coca-Cola Company’s initial public offering in 1919.

5) On February 11, 2011 Ira Glass revealed on his PRI radio show, This American Life, that the secret formula to Coca-Cola had been uncovered in a 1979 newspaper. The formula found basically matched the formula found in Pemberton’s diary

6) The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885. The typeface used is known as Spencerian script,

7) The Shape of the Coke Bottle is believed to be inspired by the Hobble Skirt as shown below:

Coca-Cola's Secret Ingredients Discovered?

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 08:32:00 +0000

According to a story by NPR's This American Life, the 125-year old top-secret Coca-Cola Classic recipe was accidentally leaked in the photo accompanying a 1979 Atlanta newspaper article about the soda giant, but nobody noticed it until now. You're going down, Coke! Well, as soon as this last batch of bathtub gin finishes fermenting. THEN IT IS ON. Same goes for you, Fanta! You think I won't make some bomb-ass tastin' grape soda? I LIVE FOR THAT SHIT!

And while companies like Pepsi have deduced the general ingredients on their own, none have unlocked the "Merchandise 7X flavoring" that gives Coke its unique taste and bubbly burn. "The company has always said, and as far as I know it's true, that at any given time only two people know how to mix the 7X flavoring ingredient," Mark Pendergrast, historian and author of For God, Country and Coke told This American Life. "Those two people never travel on the same plane in case it crashes; it's this carefully passed-on secret ritual and the formula is kept in a bank vault."

The recipe:

Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams USP
Citric acid: 3 oz
Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30 (unclear quantity)
Water: 2.5 gal
Lime juice: 2 pints, 1 quart
Vanilla: 1 oz
Caramel: 1.5 oz or more for color

The secret 7X flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):
Alcohol: 8 oz
Orange oil: 20 drops
Lemon oil: 30 drops
Nutmeg oil: 10 drops
Coriander: 5 drops
Neroli: 10 drops
Cinnamon: 10 drops

Alcohol, huh? No wonder I like it so much. Of course, I'd like it even more if half the can was bourbon. Which, at least the way I drink them, actually are. You think I can't pour Maker's Mark into a Coke can? Oh I can pour Maker's into a Coke can. It's called a ~~steady hand~~ funnel. Remember: where there's a will (and drinlkling problem), there's a way. Plus a long history of drunk in publics. OCCIFER NOOOO!

Red Bull Cola Cocaine Report in Germany

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Sat, 28 May 2011 09:45:00 +0000

German food regulators reportedly found traces of cocaine in Red Bull Cola; Red Bull Cola is a fairly new product distributed by the makers of the popular energy drink, Red Bull. The Health Institute in the state of North Rhine Westphalia, examined Red Bull Cola and claim they found traces of cocaine. German officials have banned the product in six states across Germany and are seeking a nationwide ban.

Coca Leaves

According to their claim, 0.13 micrograms of cocaine is present per can of Red Bull Cola, not enough to cause any health risks but certainly interesting. Red Bull has always boasted of its all natural ingredients and openly lists the recipe on its website.

Included in the recipe is coca, but the company insists that the coca is only used to add flavor and that the cocaine alkaloid is removed. De-cocainized extract of the coca leaf is used worldwide as an ingredient in many types of food, the company insists. The cocaine alkaloid is only one of 10 found in the coca leaf and makes up only 0.8% of the chemical make-up of the plant.

It is unclear whether or not Red Bull will be able to continue to market Red Bull Cola as is; or whether they will have to modify the formula in some form or another. Spokesmen for Red Bull said:

“We are of the opinion that our product is marketable,” Frank Farnsteiner, a spokesman for Red Bull, told German public radio.

Red Bull Energy drink is wildly popular here in the United State. In our fast paced society, folks are looking for some way to keep on their toes and stay alert.

Taste Test: Red Bull Cola

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Fri, 27 May 2011 09:39:00 +0000

Red Bull Simply Cola

I entered this Taste Test skeptical, as did most of my test helpers. The world already has a perfect cola drink, and despite what you may think about mega-corporations and high-fructose corn syrup, you have not invented a nectar as sweet or as satisfying as Coca-Cola. If and when you do, I will invest my meager savings in your IPO, and I will wear a T-shirt with your logo on it every single day.

Now, I'm not saying that all other drinks are shit and Coke Is It. Hell, I'll drink another cola if that's all they serve at a restaurant. (Kyle won't, but that's an angry letter to the editor for another day.) Pepsi's fine at the movies (though I'd probably go Sierra Mist in that case), but if there's a choice—and this is America, dammit, so there's often a choice between exactly two similar things—it's Coke. And before you tell me I'm contaminating my body, I don't really drink Coke that often. It's a treat. And it's fucking delicious. And perfect.

I don't drink Red Bull. I don't like Red Bull. It tastes bad, and it makes me a little jumpy. Worse than that, it's got that sharp aftertaste that most energy drinks do, which I always assume is taurine, but in fact, I have no idea. I just know it's icky. (To me. You can like it if you want. Live and let live.) At the National Association Of Convenience Stores Convention this year, when young ladies with refrigerated backpacks tried handing me cans of what I thought was Red Bull, I declined. But they kindly explained that this was a new product: Red Bull Simply Cola. No taurine. Not an energy drink. Just a new, all-natural cola product being test-marketed only at Speedway. The Red Bull company also had a gigantic booth set up, and little plastic cubes featuring each of the soda's natural ingredients so you could look at it up close. Have you ever seen an orange displayed as if it were the Crown Jewels? It was like that.

What are those flavors, you ask? I will not only type them here for you, I will offer you some visual information from a Red Bull Simply Cola pamphlet as well. Coca leaf, kola nut, lemon/lime, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, pine, corn mint, galangal, vanilla, ginger, mace, cacao, licorice, orange, mustard seeds. "Holy shit," you are likely thinking. "I just want some corn syrup, water, and artificial coloring! What have I gotten myself into?" Well, Red Bull wants you to know that their new cola can "do without a secret formula." (Take that, Coke!) They also want you to know that it's "100% pure cola." I'm not sure what the standards are for that. You'll notice that it includes kola nut and coca leaf, which most colas no longer use. (Though Blue Sky natural cola and the Whole Foods house brand do.) It also promises to be "strong & natural," a promise previously made to me by douche, condoms, diapers, and a transvestite hooker, so I took it with a grain of salt.

Taste: I told you up top that I was prejudiced going in, but I also told you that I've got an open mind about these things. If Red Bull Simply Cola were better than Coke, I might weep a little bit—but then I would switch to Red Bull Simply Cola. But I don't need to. Our testers, in a rare display of unanimity, disliked it. There were varying degrees of dislike, but nobody hopped up to defend it.

Most everybody commented on the strange aftertaste, which reminded me of the short-lived, caffeine-averse Like Cola from the early '80s—probably because that stuff also contained the kola nut. But there's just so much going on in this RBSC that it's tough to enjoy. There's the bitterness of lemon, the weird overpowering combo of spices, and an overall tartness that lingers and lingers and lingers. Maybe this is soda aimed at tough guys or at granola-heads who think regular soda is too sweet. But there's no difference in the amount of sugar between this and a Coke, so who really wins? Not me.

There's no contest. Sorry, Red Bull Simply Cola, you have been pwned. Did I say that right?

Office reactions:

— "As a strident Coke loyalist, I'm tough to woo, and this doesn't do it. It tastes like flat generic cola, though it's missing the sweetness."

— "I'm not a Red Bull fan, and this isn't gonna make me start now. Give me Coke or give me death!"

— "This reminds me of the cheap-ass Big K Cola, Kroger's house brand, that they'd give us after soccer practice as a kid. I'm having flashbacks to sweat and shin guards."

— "Are you sure you didn't accidentally give me a cup full of air freshener?"

— "I'm trying to think of a context where I would want to drink this. If I wanted a cola, I wouldn't reach for this, but it's not so bad I can say I'd never drink it again." "By context, do you mean what alcohol you want to mix it with?"

— "They shouldn't call it cola. Fail on the part of the Red Bull marketing team."

— "You can really taste the mustard seed."

— "It tastes like carpet. Non-delicious carpet."

— "This is not good. No one will ever buy this."

— "I'm pretty sure my breath is amazingly bad right now."

Where to get it: The Red Bull reps told us it was being sold only in Speedway stores; the Red Bull website implies that it's currently available only in Las Vegas.

Is There Cocaine in Red Bull Cola?

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Wed, 25 May 2011 09:34:00 +0000

Is there cocaine in Red Bull Cola?

Red Bull Cola has recently been released here in the United States — it is not considered purely an “energy drink” like the more familiar Red Bull product, but is sold as a “Cola”. About a year ago, the makers of Red Bull, the famous caffeine and sugar loaded “energy drink” decided to develop a soda. The “Red Bull” brand would hopefully imply the same big kick to drinkers of the cola beverage. But could the cola’s boost, which is advertised on the can and by the makers as “100% natural”, come from something more sinister than sugar and B vitamins?

Officials in Germany worry that the inclusion of an ingredient linked to cocaine in Red Bull Cola could cause health problems. Germany has since prohibited the soda’s sale in six states across the country and wil soon recommend a nation wide ban of Red Bull Cola.

The head of the food safety department at Germany’s federal ministry for consumer protection told the German press on Sunday that the inclusion of de-cocainized extract of coca leaf is just as illegal as including actual cocaine in the beverage. According to the German government’s analysis, the cola includes 0.13 micrograms of cocaine per can of the drink but does not pose a serious health threat. The German government readily admits you’d have to drink 12,000 liters of Red Bull Cola to feel any negative effects, but government officials still feel the presence of coca leaf extract is enough to cause concern. The final verdict on the health impact of Red Bull Cola will be given on Wednesday, May 27th by the German government.

Red Bull has been nothing but open about the recipe for its new cola. On the Red Bull Cola website, visitors can see clear pictures of coca, cardamom, Kola nuts, and other key “natural” ingredients. The company insists that coca leaves are used as a “flavoring agent” — they have proven that the illegal cocaine alkaloid has been removed from the extract. “De-cocainized extract of coca leaf is used worldwide in foods as a natural flavoring,” said a Red Bull spokesman. In fact, some sources say that Coca-Cola still includes extract from the trujillo leaves of the coca plant as part of its secret flavoring formula.

In Germany, the Red Bull spokesperson insisted that his company’s product, along with other products known to contain the coca leaf extract, are considered safe in Europe and the U.S. Nutrition and food experts have come to Red Bull’s defense — “There is no scientific basis for this ban on Red Bull Cola because the levels of cocaine found are so small,” Fritz Soergel, the head of the Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research, tells Time magazine. “According to the tests we carried out, it’s a nonactive degradation product with no effect on the body. If you start examining lots of other drinks and food [this] carefully, you’d find a lot of surprising things,” he says.

Coca leaves, of course, have a notorious presence in modern soda pop history. Most notorious is the “original” Coca-Cola whose 19th century formula used unprocessed coca leaves. By the early 1900s, the company said it would only use decocainized coca leaves, though the company refuses to release any information about the “secret” formula, though one must assume that the FDA has tested the popular soda product and declared it safe.

No one knows where Red Bull Cola’s coca leaves come from or where they are processed. Red Bull has not yet responded to any media outlet’s requests for comment, but the Austrian food company that manufactures Red Bull Cola was quick to make a statement on the subject, namely that the company is not allowed to speak about the product.

Cocaine in Red Bull Energy Drinks??

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Tue, 24 May 2011 09:27:00 +0000

Energy Drinks are constantly in the news; albeit if usually for the wrong reasons… And this is exactly where Red Bull Cola found themselves a couple days ago after being banned in Germany. Red Bull, the Energy Drink that gives you wings is apparently doing more than that as trace amounts of cocaine have been found in the energy cola. That’s right, Red Bull Cola was found to have trace amounts of cocaine in it by officials in Germany from the federal ministry of consumer protection.

Red Bull responded by saying that they have always been up front with their ingredients and that the coca leaves used in Red Bull Cola are for natural flavoring and that the illegal property alkaloid is removed. They also go on to say that this type of natural flavoring is used worldwide.

Experts have chimed in on the situation saying that the ingredients used in Red Bull Cola are really not similar at all to cocaine as they have not been put through the intensive chemical process needed to get the end result of cocaine. So it’s basically not active and the amounts found are so small it should not be an issue.

So again, because of the (extremely trace amounts) of (not actual) cocaine in Red Bull Cola, the drink was banned in six German states, and they will be recommending a nation wide ban. I guess it’s not harmful unless you drink 12,000 liters of Red Bull Cola… Now come on, that’s quite a bit of Red Bull. I have had quite a few Energy Drinks in my day but I haven’t even had that many. I think Amy Winehouse might be hard pressed to even get addicted to this…

So what did this ban actually do? In BevUniverse’s personal (yet highly accurate) opinion the only thing this Red Bull Cola cocaine ban will accomplish is bringing a little attention to the lackluster product line offered by Red Bull.

START RANT: Now I know the energy drink market is highly competitive, but come on Red Bull… these drinks are addictive enough, there is no need to put actual addictive narcotics in them as well. Besides instead of adding addictive chemicals to your energy cola, why don’t you focus on coming out with new and innovative products? You stuck with the same formula of your energy drink (your competition has multiple flavors), it took you years to make a 16 ounce can (which you charge an obscene amount for), you finally came out with an energy shot (years behind the competition) and you don’t have any variations of energy levels in your drinks (which your competition also has). Now I understand branding and image and riding the wave of success. But come on, you are losing market share. Come out with something original already. END RANT

Best Cycling Energy Drinks

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Fri, 13 May 2011 21:49:00 +0000

Cycling energy drinks help to replace lost carbohydrate in easily digestible form. When racing, it can be difficult to eat sufficient food, therefore energy drinks can be vital for providing sufficient energy sources and also helping rehydration of lost minerals.

The best energy drinks are composed of simple carbohydrates (glucose polymer) and electrolytes to replace lost minerals during intensive exercise. It is important to get the intensity right. Some people can feel sickly if the drink is too concentrated, especially on hot days.

I am keen on the High5 Energy Source. I usually buy a 2.2Kg tub and it lasts me for quite a while. It has a good neutral flavour though unfortunately they seem to have discontinued the neutral flavour.

High 5 4:1

A new development in energy drinks is mixing protein in with carbohydrates. 4 parts Carbohydrate – 1 part protein (whey protein).

A study by the University of Glasgow suggested the use of 4:1 over a conventional carbohydrate only energy drink during the grueling Trans Alp MTB event, helped competitors finish average 12% quicker than those using the carbohydrate only drink.

The theory is that taking on protein causes the body to release insulin. This release of insulin actually results in a higher uptake of carbohydrate by the muscles which need it.

Science in Sport

Science in Sport energy drinks are based on malto-dextrin. Malto-dextrin is one of the easiest absorbable carbohydrate sources and can be taken in heavier concentrations. Though, you still want to find a level you are comfortable with. SIS have put a lot of attention into designing plans for best combinations of liquid and food. With the custom SIS bottles it is quite easy to mix and prepare. Tastes fine, not too sweet but is as relatively pleasant as these things can be. Contains electrolytes for rehydration.

Home About Finding the best healthy energy drink does not have to be tough

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Tue, 10 May 2011 21:43:00 +0000

Now, are there any healthy energy drinks accessible in the marketplace today? Can they all be totally unsafe? There’s a on-going discussion with regards to the drawbacks of energy drinks similar to Red Bull, Monster along with other high sugar energy drinks.

You will find some health care experts asking for warning labelling to be placed on energy drink cans. Their particular fears are largely cantered on the volume of caffeine and sugar included with these drinks.

Properly I should agree that several energy drinks contain large amounts of sugar and caffeine, however it ought to be pointed out not every energy drink is made with all the same recipe.

There are energy drinks on the market with less caffeine then what is found in a regular coffee and with less than a 10 gram of sugar per serving.

Why don’t we evaluation the two aspects that tend to make it seem like energy drinks are a problem to health care experts;

High sugar energy drinks tend to be considered bad because everybody understands the negative effects of sugar on our bodies. Sugar increases the chances of weight gain, diabetes, headaches and the energy crash that many people experience when using high sugar energy drinks.

We see sugar as an issue with numerous sports nutritional refreshments and soda pops. There are energy drinks in the marketplace these days that switch the sugar with low calorie sweeteners.

In addition, you will find energy drinks that contain all natural sweeteners and include small amounts of sugar that are healthier then alternate options.

Excessive caffeine energy drinks can trigger heart palpitations and jitters. If energy drinks are consumed rapidly the caffeine can build up in the body and produce dangerous results.

It will take a few hours to obtain caffeine from the system and if you’re drinking energy drinks with a lot more than 99 mg of caffeine a serving it will rapidly add up when you drink more than 1 drink. This is the problem that’s probably the most worry to health care professionals.

So, what’s the answer to these worries? When you’re searching for the best energy drink on-line; look for a healthy energy drink that contains no more than 99 mg of caffeine and less than 10 grams of sugar. Crave Energy Drink is one these healthy energy drinks.

You should consume any energy drink in moderation to ensure you get no jitters but it has been proven that Crave does not cause the jitters because it does not contain enough sugar to cause them. Crave still provides 4 to 6 hours of energy to the average person.

Healthy energy drinks are a source of vitamins instead of sugar, to provide an extra energy effect. The dietary vitamins that are utilized by the healthy energy drinks tend to be b6 and b12.

There are some healthy energy drinks that contain other vitamins but the primary ones are the B vitamins. To avoid the negative effects of sugar and high caffeine energy drinks it is best to chose a healthy energy drink, because they contain vitamins and lower levels of sugar.

Vitamin fortification tops list of energy drink claims

noreply@blogger.com (hadinetworks hadi) — Sat, 07 May 2011 10:11:00 +0000

A new Leatherhead report has highlighted how vitamin fortification and other ‘health and wellness’ claims are driving growth in the global sports and energy drink market.

The market research firm estimated that in 2010 the value of the sector stood at $36bn, having grown 32 per cent since 2006.

Growth in the energy drinks market has been particularly impressive. Leatherhead said global energy drink sales have increased 83 per cent between 2006 and 2010, taking the value of the market to $11.5bn.

A wave of new products that promise to be healthier or more natural has helped increase sales of both sports and energy drinks.

Leatherhead said: “The market has benefited from the worldwide health and wellness trend, whilst news drinks featuring lower sugar levels and more natural ingredients have also assisted in attracting new consumers to the category.”

Most popular claims

Quoting data from Mintel’s Global New Products Database (GNPD), Leatherhead said the most popular health claim for new sports and energy drinks is fortification with vitamins and minerals.

According to the GNPD, 72 energy drinks and 30 sports drinks that launched last year made a vitamin/mineral claim. The fortification trend was particular prevalent in European and Asia-Pacific regions while additive-free and kosher claims were more significant in North America.

Other popular claims on new products related to sugar levels or the calorie count.

Leatherhead concluded that the desire for healthier drinks with a more natural profile leaves manufacturers with a formulation challenge going forward.

“Of key importance to the sports and energy drinks category is the ability of the product to retain its functionality, whilst also being able to live up to additional claims such as being natural or healthier.”
