Taurine
Taurine is a non-essential amino acid, which can be produced by the body with the help of cysteine. Taurine is important in the development of the central nervous system and the regulation of fluids in the body’s cells. Furthermore, taurine has been attributed partial protective functions for cell membranes and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that drinks containing taurine can furthermore significantly prolong the duration of their impact at a higher level of intensity. In combination with caffeine, taurine can have a stimulating and invigorating effect. Taurine improves and/or regenerates muscle tone and has a detoxifying effect.
Caffeine
Due to its well-known stimulating effects, caffeine also has an influence on breathing and on the ability of the cardiac muscles to contract, as well as the heart rate – it has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system and speeds up cardiac activity. Caffeine has a stimulating effect on the organism and ensures adrenaline release, so that more glycogen (energy reserves) and fats can be absorbed. Caffeine leads to stimulation of the metabolism and of blood pressure.
Vitamin B2 / Riboflavin
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is among other things important for control of breathing. At the same time, it takes over functions for energy metabolism, in particular for metabolising fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
Vitamin B5 / Pantothen Acid
Vitamin B5 (pantothen acid) supports metabolism of carbohydrates as well as the breakdown of fats and thus ensures the extraction of energy from foodstuffs.
Inositol
Inositol is a type of Vitamin B, an active ingredient for living cells. Inositol is considered to be a factor in growth and is also responsible for reducing fat deposits, in that it aids in the combustion of fats by ensuring the export of fatty acids to the liver, where they can be converted into energy.
Glucuronolacton
Glucuronolacton is a substance naturally produced by the body (similar to sugar) and has an important detoxifying function for the body. It is produced in the liver from glucose and combines with harmful substances so as to produce a detoxification reaction, i.e. breaking down harmful substances which are produced by bodily exertion.
