Does Zipfizz really give you an energy boost and if it does, what exactly is it in the product that make it work?
Zipfizz transforms water into a healthy, energizing performance drink and people claim that they get an energy boost from it usually within 15 minutes or so.
The signature product is a tube of powder that can be added to 16-20 ounces of water. A tube contains 100mg of caffeine - but will obviously dilute depending on the amount of water the powder is mixed with.
The caffeine is extracted from Guarana seed and Green Tea. ZipFizz powder comes in three flavors; Pink Lemonade, Citrus, and Berry. Each tube contains 2500mcg of Vitamin B12 - 41,667 times daily recommended value!
Is that much caffeine really good for you?
Most a.m. coffee drinkers don't realize it, but their morning cups of coffee set their bodies up for a rollercoaster day of highs and lows, only to bottom out at the point of exhaustion. Just a few hours after consumption, when the artificial high dies down, many people may reach for more coffee or something sugary to get another lift, leading to daily fluctuations in energy and alertness, and possibly to eventual chronic adrenal exhaustion.
Cherniske explains your body's "perspective" of this constant state: "Imagine you lived in a country that was always under threat of attack. No matter where you went, there was a perpetual state of alert. Not only that, but your defenses were constantly being depleted and weakened. Does that sound stressful? Caffeine produces the same effect on your body, like fighting a war on multiple fronts at the same time." Cherniske calls your body's constant state of alert "caffeinism," which is characterized by fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbance, irritability and depression.
Everybody "knows" that caffeine makes you more alert and clearheaded. Think again. A cup of coffee gives you a wakeup jolt because it triggers a stress response. Your adrenal glands are prompted to kick out the same stress hormones that are released when you perceive an external threat or danger. Your muscles tense, your blood sugar elevates for extra energy, your pulse and respiration rates speed up, and your state of alertness increases so you're ready to wrestle with or run from environmental dangers. You may be only sitting at your table or desk drinking a cup of coffee, but your body doesn't know that. It's preparing for action.
