XS Rootbeer Blast – Review

XS Energy DrinkXS Energy Drink Rootbeer Blast – Caffeine Free – Retail Price: $1.99 per can
Available Size: 8.4 fl. oz.
Taste: 8/10
Price: 7/10
Energy Level: 7/10

XS Rootbeer Blast is lightly carbonated, caffeine-free (available with caffeine), sugar-free, zero carb and only 8 calories. XS Rootbeer Blast tasted similar to root beer but with an attitude of its own. It tasted pretty good for a sugar-free energy drink. If you’re a person who needs more energy, like the taste of root beer, and isn’t too worried about your health, you should enjoy this energy drink.

XS Rootbeer Blast’s energy is fueled by B-vitamins and energy blends. Many of its vitamins are synthetic so please drink with caution. XS is known for having high levels of synthetic vitamin B12, 4900 percent of the daily value to be exact. You may experience minor side effects, such as shakes, headaches and stomachaches when drinking this energy drink.

XS Rootbeer Blast is an energy drink for people who love the taste of root beer. If you don’t like root beer, XS has 11 other flavors (plus 3 caffeine-free versions) you can choose from. I don’t recommend drinking XS energy drink on a regular basis because it contains a lot of synthetic vitamins. It also contains sucralose, an artificial sweetener that is known to have toxic side effects. Many independent researchers suggested that artificial sweeteners are toxic to the body because they can overstimulate nerve cells to death.

Nutrilite Siberian EnerG (energy) Supplement – Review

Nutrilite Siberian EnerG SupplementSize: 100 Tablets Per Bottle – Retail Price: $52.20
Taste: 6.5/10
Price: 7/10
Energy Level: 7/10

Siberian EnerG is a natural supplement made by Nutrilite for increasing energy and mental sharpness. When you are tired or on a road trip, taking one or two tablets of Siberian EnerG may help increase energy and improve blood flow to the brain; therefore, helps keep you focus and alert.

Siberian EnerG tasted somewhat like herbal medicine with a very light coffee aftertaste. I don’t recommend chewing the tablet because it is kind of bitter, just swallow it whole and you should be fine. This product would be a good alternative to coffee because it can keep you alert and is more convenient to carry around. Its energy level wasn’t as intense as energy drinks but did a decent job stimulating my energy and had little side effects.

Siberian EnerG benefits:

  • Contain phytonutrients for better dietary balance and optimal nutrition
  • Increase endurance and energy
  • Contains Ginkgo Biloba extract which is known to improve blood flow to the brain
  • Improve mental sharpness

How to Stay Energized – Energy Tips

Your body’s main source of energy is glucose which comes from carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids (proteins). Glucose is combined with oxygen in your body to produce energy.

To reduce your body from feeling fatigue all the time just follow these tips.

  1. Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast because your body needs to refuel for the long day.
  2. Carbohydrate is the main source of energy for your brain, muscles and central nervous system. Your sources of carbohydrate should be from whole foods because they are full of other essential nutrients.
  3. Start the day consuming lots of carbohydrate rich foods, like cereal and wholegrain bread. If you are trying to lose weight, go on a low-carb and plant-based diet. Once your body runs out of carbs, it goes after fat to burn for energy.
  4. Don’t consume simple carbohydrates (candy, fruits, sweets, etc.) because simple carbs turn to glucose quickly, resulting in a burst of energy. If you consumed too much simple carbs, the extra carbs will usually end up being stored as fat.
  5. Consume more complex carbohydrates (brown rice, veggies, whole grain breads). These carbs take longer to break down into glucose resulting in longer energy.
  6. Drink plenty of fresh filtered water and stay cool so you dehydrate less. For best result, install a fluoride removal water filter system.
  7. Always eat food fresh and eat fruits and vegetable raw whenever possible. Cooking fruits and vegetables will destroy a good portion of their nutrients which are essential for energy production.
  8. A common cause of fatigue is not enough sleep. Try to get about 8 hours of sleep per night, sleep is your best weapon against body fatigue.
  9. Being physically active and exercising will help reduce body fatigue.
  10. Think positively through out the day!
