    • Energy drinks are mostly lightlycarbonated and non-alcoholic beverages thatprovide the consumer a temporary energyboost and increase in mental alertness bythe addition of a number of energyenhancing ingredients, in most casescaeine.

     You have probably seen these drinksdisplayed alongside soft drinks and uices ingrocery stores, corner stores and gasstations.

    terms "ith many people using theminterchangeably.

    Energy drinks provide a mental stimulanteect. 'ostly they are soft drinks that

    contain high levels of substances, such as(aeine, )aurine, *uarana and others.

    • Sports drinks, on the other hand,do not have a stimulant eect, andalthough some contain caeine, the

    levels used are not high. +nstead,Sports drinks are specicallydesigned for people "ho are

    undertaking physical activity.

    • Sports drinks are designed for high-performanceathletes "ho need to add carbohydrates andreplace electrolytes during andor after theirtraining or competition. But if youre not involvedin more than an hour of activity a day or s"eatingprofusely, Sports drinks simply add to your dailykilooule /a unit of energy measurement0 intake.

     )herefore, 1nergy drinks should not be confused"ith Sports drinks, "hich are intended to

    replenish electrolytes, sugars, "ater and othernutrients and are usually isotonic /i.e. containingthe same proportions as found in the humanbody0.

    of such beverage is LucoTade Sport but thereare no" doTens of similar drinks on sale.

    • %hen "e e5ercise, many of theminerals contained in our body areeither burnt up or e5creted through

    perspiration. +sotonic drinks helpreplenish these lost minerals as "ellas topping up our energy levels. )he

    theory is, that you "ill thereforerecover more 3uickly from a "orkoutor a sporting activity.

    your body, if not more so.

    • 2ll 9uids consumed by the body can be broken

    into three main categoriesQ hypertonic,isotonic, and hypotonic. )hese distinctions aremade based on the 9uids concentration of"ater. 2 healthy human cell has a very nely

    tuned "ater concentration. +f your beveragehas a lo"er concentration of "ater than ahealthy cell it is called hypertonic, if theconcentrations are e3ual it is called isotonic,

    and if the concentration is higher it is calledhypotonic.

    • 'ost conventional sports drinks are isotonic,having the same ratio of carbohydrates,electrolytes, and "ater as your cells. Since

    the 9uids inside and outside the cell areessentially the same, "ater 9o"s freely backand forth across your cell "all, keeping youproperly hydrated. )his process of free 9o"

    is actually 3uite slo". +n a dehydrated state,your cells are not healthy and need to3uickly absorb 9uids from their surroundings.

    • 2 hypotonic solution, "ill have higherconcentration of "ater outside ofyour cells than inside. 2s a result,

    there "ill be an osmotic pressure onyour cell "alls that "ill "ant to force"ater in until the concentration on

    both sides in the same. +n this "ay,"ater is more rapidly absorbed bythe body.

    •  )his might beg the 3uestion, #%hy not ust use plain "ater$# Yes, plain "ater is the most hypotonic beverage that e5ists.

    &o"ever, the human body is a comple5 system that likes tomaintain e3uilibrium. Vluids are ma5imally absorbed fromthe gut if they contain a small amount of carbohydrates.Vurther, the bodys renal system regulates ust ho" much"ater "ill be absorbed from a 9uid based on theconcentration of electrolytes passing through your kidneys.7ure "ater drops this concentration, giving your body theimpression that "ater should stop being absorbed into yourbloodstream /you are less thirsty0. )he concentration ofelectrolytes in 8apid 8ehydrationW is formulated to foregothis problem, as "ell as help prevent muscle cramps and

    other side eects of cutting "eight before competition.

    • But "ait, doesnt protein help yourecover$ Yes, protein is essential tomuscle recovery and maintaining

    healthy energy levels. &o"ever,proteins, along "ith fats and e5cesscarbohydrates, actually slo" the

    absorption of "ater. Virst, the additionof such ingredients makes thebeverage hypotonic, lo"ering the

    pressure that forces the "ater into

    • 2 small obect, such as an atom or "ater

    /&=E0 molecule, "ill pass very easily throughyour porous cell "all and into the cell. Longchain molecules have diXculty passingthrough the small holes in your cell "alls and

    therefore take much longer to pass into or outof the cell. !uring this passage, they arestealing precious real estate that could beused for traXcking "ater or electrolytes. Gur

    formula is specially designed to prevent thisfrom happening.
