5 Hour Energy Ingredients
Whats in it?
Vitamin B6
5 Hour energy contains Vitamin B6. Other things vitamin B6 does are the following:
- Helps the nervous system.
- Production of hemoglobin, which is the compound in
red blood cells that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide. - Increases the amount of oxygen in our red blood cells.
- Maintains a healthy immune system.
- Helps processing carbohydrates for energy.
Some food sources which contain vitamin B6 include fortified cereals, beans, meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables.
Perhaps its most important function is the development of red blood cells. Also, the development of nerve cells. B12 also participates in production of amino acids, and processing of carbohydrates into energy.
Niacin is important in energy production. It plays role in converting fats, proteins, carbohydrates and starches into usable energy. Food sources of Niacin include meat and dairy products, leaf vegetables, broccoli, tomatoes, avocados, nuts and whole grains.
Folic acid, or folate, helps produce and maintain new cells in our bodies. Its also needed to make DNA and RNA, the building blocks of cells. It works with vitamin B12 and vitamin C to break down proteins and form hemoglobin. Its very important in pregnancy and preventing birth defects. Folic acid deficiency has been linked with irritability, mental fatigue, forgetfulness, confusion, depression, muscular weakness and insomnia. Food sources of folate include leaf green vegetables, fruits, dried beans and peas.
- Supports healthy cognitive function.
- Maintains healthy memory and thinking ability.
- Healthy brain cell function.
- Sustains healthy cell membranes in the brain.
- Helps brain cells communicate.
The human brain is a delicate organ of the body, constantly being attacked by various factors in our lifestyles including environmental pollution, internal toxicity, stress and a lack of proper diet and nutrients. Citicoline may help combat the ravages of these effects by stimulating the nervous system to maintain optimum sustainability to preserve our ability to think cognitively and retain our memories.
Is An amino acid that transmits the nerve impulses to the brain, elevates mood, improves memory and increases mental Its found in meat, dairy, fish and grains.
An essential amino acid that elevates mood, enhances memory, alertness and learning and suppresses the appetite. Its found in dairy products, avocados, legumes, nuts, leafy vegetables, whole grains, poultry and fish.
A naturally occurring chemical substance present in meat, fish and dairy products. It plays a role in digestion, and is used to process potassium, calcium and sodium in the body, as well as maintain the integrity of cell membranes.
A naturally occurring chemical our bodies require. The body synthesizes Malic Acid during the process of converting carbohydrates to energy. It also helps remove high levels of phosphorous and aluminum from the body. The main food source are fruits, especially apples, which contain the highest concentrations.
A natural metabolite found in the human body. It is produced by the metabolization of glucose in the liver, and has been clinically shown to reduce sleepiness and sleep-related traffic accidents. It is known to improve mental performance, reaction time, concentration and memory.
Provides a boost of energy and feeling of heightened alertness. Caffeine also facilitates the rapid absorption of nutrients, including B-vitamins. Original 5-Hour Energy contains caffeine comparable to a cup of leading premium coffee. Extra Strength 5-Hour Energy contains caffeine comparable to 12 ounces of leading premium coffee. Decaf 5-Hour Energy contains about as much caffeine as a half cup of decaffeinated coffee.
Safety
“Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine.” This scary sounding warning has given phenylalanine a bad rap among those with imaginations that run toward conspiracy theories. Whats a phenylketonuric? Whats a phenylalanine? Why am I in danger from it?
The answers are simple. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid (must be acquired in food) that is used by the brain to produce norepinephrine, a chemical that transmits signals between nerve cells and the brain, keeps you awake and alert, reduces hunger pains, functions as an antidepressant and helps improve memory. It is present in nearly all foods containing protein. Phenylketonurics are people that have a genetic disorder called phenylketonuria (PKU). People with this disorder are unable to metabolize phenylalanine and must adhere to a low protein diet and abstain from foods containing phenylalanine. Babies are tested for PKU at birth so if you have it you already know it. If you never heard of PKU, dont sweat it. Your doctor figured it out for you years ago.
Its the presence of phenylalanine in the artificial sweetener aspartame (e.g. Equal, NutraSweet) that has spawned these warnings and suspicion of phenylalanine. Aspartame is used to sweeten many sugar free beverages and chewing gums. But the amounts of phenylalanine in aspartame are an incredibly low risk factor. Far larger quantities of phenylalanine would be obtained by consuming most protein rich foods. Please note: 5-Hour Energy does not contain Aspartame.
5-Hour Energy contains large amounts of B Vitamins. These vitamins are water-soluble which means that which is not absorbed by the body is simply expelled with no toxic effects. In fact, people on Vitamin B therapy from a doctor receive much larger doses than the amount in 5-Hour Energy.
A small percentage of people are sensitive to Niacin (Vitamin B3) and may experience a “Niacin Flush” (hot prickly feeling, skin redness) that lasts a few minutes. This is caused by Niacin increasing blood flow near the skin. This can be avoided by taking half a bottle or less at a time.
