Sugar and the A.C.T.™ Energy Drinks:
Do the A.C.T.™ energy drinks support and promote healthy blood sugar levels?:
Yes. The A.C.T.™ drinks use only fruit extracts, fruit crystals, and a small amount of crystalline fructose (fruit sugar), as well as Stevia (a natural herb) for natural flavor and sweetness.
How Many Calories are in the ACT Healthy Energy Drinks?
The A.C.T.™ drinks have 24 calories per serving.
Where do the Calories come from?
The calories in the A.C.T.™ drinks mainly come from the Fibersol-2 (Soluble Fiber), and the crystalline fructose (fruit sugar).
Do the ACT Healthy Energy Drinks Contain HFS?
No, the A.C.T.™ drinks do not contain HFS (High Fructose Corn Syrup).
It is important to note that many of the leading energy drinks on the market today contain large amounts of sugar. Sugar is known as a contributing factor of weight gain, which can lead to health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Antioxidant Vitamins:
What Are Antioxidants?
The National Academy of Sciences identifies a dietary antioxidant as “a substance in foods that significantly decreases free radicals (e.g. reactive oxygen), and reactive nitrogen substances (e.g. N-nitroso compounds). Vitamins C and E are well-known antioxidants. As part of a well-balanced diet that is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, daily intake of at least 400 UG of folic acid, 3 mg of vitamin B6, and 5 UG of vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of vascular disease.
What ingredients in the A.C.T.™ energy drinks have antioxidant properties?
The antioxidant vitamins in the A.C.T.™ drinks are vitamin C, B3, B6 and B12. Guarana, Green Tea, Panax Ginseng, Maca Root, and the fruit juice crystals are all whole-food sources of antioxidants as well.
What are some of the structure functions of antioxidants?
- Antioxidants support and promote cellular longevity.
- Antioxidants promote healthy cardiovascular function.
- Antioxidants promote healthy immune system function.
- Antioxidants support and promote healthy eye function.
Potassium:
Potassium is an electrolyte, one of the essential minerals that your body requires for proper metabolism and energy use. The transfer of energy and electricity between neurons and other cells depends on a proper balance of potassium on both sides of the cell wall. In practical terms, potassium is needed to help your body regulate blood pressure, convert glucose to glycogen, and maintain healthy kidneys, heart and liver, as well as helping to lower the risk of stroke.
What is the definition of an essential nutrient?
In addition to supplying energy and raw materials for metabolism, a person’s diet must also supply certain substances in a pre-assembled form. Nutrients that a human requires but cannot make are known as “essential nutrients.” Missing just one of these essential nutrients puts the body into a state of being malnourished.
What potassium does:
Potassium helps regulate muscle contractions – including heart contractions – through a series of complex chemical and electrical interactions. Because it helps the body to handle sodium, potassium helps maintain blood pressure within acceptable ranges. It also is a catalyst in numerous metabolic processes that keep the body working properly. Potassium citrate helps to metabolize calcium by the body, helps maintain healthy kidneys, and promotes proper bone health.
Where does potassium come from?
Potassium is found in numerous food sources, including bananas, orange juice, potatoes, dried apricots, whole grains, meat, fish, and dairy products.
What are the health benefits of potassium?
- Potassium promotes and maintains healthy blood pressure.
- Potassium supports a healthy cardiovascular system.
- Potassium promotes healthy bones.
- Potassium promotes healthy muscle function.
- Potassium promotes healthy lung function.
- Potassium promotes healthy kidney function.
Here are some key points about the “Fibersol-2” (natural Maltodextrin).
- Fibersol-2 has been safely used in foods worldwide for more than 10 years.
- Fibersol-2 helps maintain normal, healthy levels of serum cholesterol and blood triglycerides.
- Fibersol-2 helps maintain normal, healthy blood glucose levels.
- Fibersol-2 helps maintain normal, healthy intestinal regularity.
- Fibersol-2 helps maintain normal, healthy intestinal microflora.
- Fibersol-2 falls under the GRAS rules of the FDA (Generally Regarded as Safe).
Do the A.C.T.™ energy drinks use any artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners?
NO, all flavors, sweeteners, and colors are a natural result of all-natural ingredients.
A.C.T.™ works in minutes and lasts for hours. What's the secret?
A.C.T.™ is a culmination of 9 months of research and development in our laboratory. We went through 80 different production trials before finalizing the formula. The "secret" is the delicate balance of extraordinarily effective ingredients that work synergistically together on a cellular level, creating a mental and physical energizing effect. What is the difference between A.C.T.™ and the other energy drinks on the market?
First of all, philosophy. Most energy drinks on the market today create a response by mega-dosing the system with high levels of unhealthy ingredients such as sugar and caffeine anhydrous. By attacking the central nervous system in such a manner, you will get a superficial, temporary surge of energy. The problem is, it only lasts for a little while, and the unhealthy jolt-and-crash cycle is hard on the body.
A.C.T.™ works on a completely different level as it has been designed to target metabolic pathways to create optimal balance and performance at the cellular level. As a result, the effect of the product can be felt for hours at a time. The goal with A.C.T.™ was to create the "World's First Healthy Energy Drink" that works "with" the body and not "against" it to get a superior result. We have accomplished that. What is EGCG and why all the excitement about this ingredient?
EGCG (Epigallocatchin gallate) in Green Tea has been shown to help stimulate certain neurotransmitters that signal the body to increase energy expenditure. In addition, EGCG is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants as it has been shown to be 100 times more powerful at mopping up the free radicals that cause cell damage than vitamin C, and 25 times stronger than vitamin E. As such, EGCG is so popular that millions of dollars are being spent around the world to further research the benefits of this amazing antioxidant.
A.C.T.™ uses a Green Tea that is specifically standardized for EGCG content. This unique processing method makes the Green Tea “de-caffeinated.” The benefits of Green Tea in A.C.T.™ are directly linked to the EGCG. Isn't Guarana a form of caffeine?
Guarana contains many healthful substances, including a natural stimulatory ingredient known as Guaranine. Guaranine is not caffeine anhydrous. In fact, it is molecularly similar to the Theobromine in chocolate. Chocolate is known as the “feel good” candy, and A.C.T.™ is known as the “feel good” energy drink. We believe that Guaranine is a healthier alternative to caffeine anhydrous and is one of the many reasons why A.C.T.™ works. Can my children take A.C.T.™?
A.C.T.™ is designed to be a natural energy drink. One packet (17 grams) is recommended for an average adult male. You may wish to reduce the amount consumed according to body weight and age. Youth 12 – 18 may take A.C.T.™ at a limited serving size based on age and weight.
