Common XS Energy Drink Questions

How does XS taste so good without sugar, carbs and so few calories? XS drinks use a proprietary blend of Sucralose (Splenda), Acesulfame Potassium (Ace K) and fruit essences to give the drinks their great flavor without sugar or empty calories. In fact, the 8 calories in the drink come from the 2 grams of amino acids, which are protein calories. How does XS give you energy? XS boosts energy by: 1. Powering up the cells in your body by enhancing energy production and helping your body adapt to stress using ATP energy production. 2. Providing nutritional precursors (Vitamin B12) to brain function for an improved sense of well-being. 3. Optimizing adrenal function with a proprietary blend of herbs, vitamins and amino acids. What is the proprietary herb blend in XS and how can they help me? XS contains a proprietary herb blend of Gandoderma, Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus Senticosus), Astragalus, Echinacea Purpurea, Korean or Asian Ginseng (Panax Ginseng), American Ginseng (Panax Quinquefolium) and Schisandra as well as amino acids L-Taurine and L-Glutamine. When you begin exercising to lose weight, the increased demand on your body can cause fatigue. This is not what you need at this point in your regimen! To help with this, choosing herbs that naturally and safely boost performance is an effective solution. How is XS sweetened? Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium, or Ace-K, are combined to sweeten XS. Sucralose and Ace-K have been found to be entirely safe for human consumption. One advantage of these sweeteners is the harmless effects on the teeth because neither of these sweeteners cause tooth decay. The amount of Ace-K and sucralose we use is proprietary information. Is XS safe for diabetics? XS drinks are exactly what diabetics have been looking for. With zero sugar, diabetics can safely enjoy great taste with great benefits and the extra boost of energy they need. Is XS a sports recovery drink? A sports recovery drink emphasizes electrolyte (mineral) replacement in a 6% glucose solution. XS is different because it utilizes standardized herbal extracts with amino acids and vitamins to enhance adaptation to training and exertion as an alternative sports "recovery" strategy. Use of XS does not replace, diminish or marginalize the use of electrolyte and glucose rehydration strategies. In fact, you should use both!   Is there caffeine in XS Energy Drinks and Why?

That sugar happens to be the most refined form of carbohydrates.
