Health Experts On Caffeine and e+ Natural Energy Shot

Colgan NYKO
Health experts speak out
about the benefits and safety
of naturally-sourced caffeine
in e+

Nearly 80 percent of adults consume some kind of caffeinated beverage daily—many of which are high in sugar, calories, and artificial ingredients. With the launch of e+, Isagenix provides you with a healthy and safe option to get the energy you need to start your day, avoid an afternoon crash, or kick-start a workout.
Isagenix Chief Science Officer Suk Cho, Ph.D., asked some of the most pressing questions about e+ and caffeine to a panel of respected health professionals at this year’s New Year’s Eve Kick Off (NYKO) event. Here are some of their quotes from the event:
“There is absolutely no doubt that a moderate amount of caffeine—especially natural caffeine from sources such as yerba maté and green tea—has an impressive effect on performance. It is not just an effect that causes people to feel better, but it has an effect on ventilation volume in the lungs, maximum heart rate, and various effects that have been documented… It is something we’ve used for many years and I am very please to see that Isagenix now has a source that I can use for athletes.” Michael Colgan, Ph.D.
“Isagenix has come out with an all-natural caffeine source—green tea, yerba maté—at an optimal caffeine dosage: [equivalent to the amount in a regular cup of coffee or premium tea]. It should not give you the shakiness, the jitteriness. And plus, that is not all that is in there—there’s the adaptogenic blend also. People are looking for more energy. People are looking for a boost. Let’s face it—the majority of people out there are working hard, they’re keeping long hours… There is a let-down in midmorning; there is a let-down in mid afternoon. To have a natural, healthy way to combat that is, I think, brilliant.” Nick Messina, M.D.
“[Green tea and yerba maté] definitely has antioxidant benefits. Certainly, [caffeine] can improve mental and physical performance and it has an excellent fat-burning effect. So, it goes hand-in-hand with our core products and our core-systems.” Ina Nozek, DC, MS, CCN
Note: Adults (ages 16+) are recommended to drink no more than two bottles of e+ daily and to limit consumption of other caffeinated products on days consuming e+. Keep out of the reach of children.
