  1. Anyone into energy drinks has found that many companies advertise their
    so-called products as "Energy Drinks". I've found that many of
    them lack for better terms energy beyond the inclusion of sugars and
    unhealthy carbs.

    So what is the hype about? Well, the truth is, we are now a society
    that is mostly passive in nature and very inactive in terms of physical
    fitness and health. People are looking for that "extra" boost in
    the mid-day to quell their "over fed" tummies from lunch. Looking
    at many restaurants' menus, very few share their calorie information
    openly. This is mostly due to their "platters" having sometimes up
    to 2000 calories for one meal, and most of them are over 1500 calories
    for one meal. The consistence of carbs in the meals render a person
    completely out of energy come 2pm...thus why people are seeking that
    "BOOST"

    I've tried several products to include Red Bull, Gatorade, Liftoff
    (Herbalife), and several others not worth mentioning. The only drinks
    that we found healthy alternatives were Red Bull and Liftoff
    (Herbalife). Both these drinks provided an uplift of energy that was
    not caused by a "sugar" rush.

    Beyond energy, some drinks provided added benefits. One of these was
    Liftoff by Herbalife. This product is packed with natural herbs and
    vitamins which not only provide one with energy, but also with mental
    focus! How do you get mental focus out of a drink? Well, Herbalife's
    proprietary blend of ingredients actually does that.

    You will find pro volleyball athletes sponsored by this drink. Elaine
    Young for instance admits that her performance in this past summer's
    tournaments were attributed by her use of Liftoff.

    No, it's caffeine. This stuff is packed with
    caffeine, which is responsible for the effects
    you feel. It's a drug effect.

    Here's a news item about the death of the founder of
    Herbalife, at age 44. Those herbs sure did him a lot
    of good!

    And here's two link pages to lots of information about
    Herbalife -- information that the Herbalife salespeople
    don't want you to know:

    And here's a ton of consumer complaints about Herbalife:

    Warning -- this is a 97-page PDF file.

  3. I've found they work better if I drink them while naked, in a park,
    near a playground, in some bushes...
