Watch what you are drinking: Battery Facts
What are energy drinks?
As the name suggests, there is a great deal of energy in energy
drinks. They often ontain various stimulants and vitamins. They
enhance and maintain physical performance, even under severe
conditions. Originally developed in the Far East, energy drinks
have spread all over the world and are particularly popular in
Europe.
For whom are energy drinks made?
All healthy adults who occasionally feel that they need more energy
during their working hours or leisure time. For example, Battery
is excellently suited for persons working long days or shift work,
professional drivers, athletes and of course party-goers.
What is the difference between energy drinks and sports drinks?
Energy drinks are used for their immediately stimulating effect,
while sports drinks replace the body's fluids during or after demanding
physical exertion. Sports drinks also often contain salts
that replenish those lost through perspiration.
What is the stimulating effect in Battery?
Battery has about 50% more energy than conventional soft
drinks. It contains guarana, taurine, caffeine, quick-acting and long-term sugars and B-vitamins. As a result of the combined
effect of these stimulants, Battery provides energy when it is
needed.
What is the taurine in Battery?
The stimulant taurine in Battery is a synthetic amino acid. It is
believed to improve such factors as reaction time and the development
of the nervous system. People initially get taurine in
their mother's milk.
Why the guarana?
Because guarana is an effective natural stimulant, it is excellently
suitable as an ingredient in energy drinks. Brazilian indians used
it to keep alert on their hunting trips centuries ago.
How many cans of Battery can you drink per day?
A litre of Battery contains 320 mg of caffeine. (For comparison,
a cup of medium-strong northern European coffee contains 80-
100 mg of caffeine.) The recommended dose is a maximum of
three cans per day.
Who should not drink Battery?
Battery in large quantities is not recommended for children,
persons sensitive to caffeine or expectant mothers because the
combined effects of the stimulants it contains can be surprisingly
strong. Because of the sugar it contains, Battery is not recommended
for diabetics. |
