Caffeine: stimulates the cortex of your brain heightening the
intensity of mental activity. This can result in a
temporary feeling of alertness and, in the short term,
banishes drowsiness and feelings of fatigue.
Caffeine is a stimulant, meaning it accelerates
physiological activity. Specifically, it speeds up the action
of your brain and makes you more alert. It does this by
binding to adenosine receptors in the brain.
Normally, the chemical adenosine binds to these, causing
drowsiness by slowing down nerve cell activity. The
caffeine doesn't have this effect, but it does get in the way
of the adenosine binding to these adenosine
receptors.
Because the
caffeine is blocking the adenosine receptors, our neurons
become more active than they otherwise would be. That is
why it seems to be good for the brain. Then, the other
body systems responds to all the activity as though it was an
emergency, by releasing hormones that tell the adrenal glands
to produce adrenaline. This is what is sometimes known as the
"fight or flight" hormone (and is also called
epinephrine). The release of adrenaline causes:
-
A faster heart
rate
-
An opening up
of breathing tubes
-
A release of
sugar into the bloodstream from the liver.
-
A readying
(tightening) of muscles for action.
-
An increase in
blood flow to muscles.
Essentially all
that adrenaline makes you tensed and ready for action, but not
necessarily intellectual action. Yu do become more
alert initially, and your brain may work better and
faster.
Studies which
demonstrate an improvement in mental function usually show
this improvement only after one eight-ounce cup of coffee, not
two or three.
Other effects of
caffeine on the brain include and increase in dopamine levels,
much like that caused by amphetamines or heroine (but without
such a pronounced effect).
Dopamine is a
neurotransmitter which activates the pleasure centers of the
brain. It is suspected that this is part of the reason
caffeine can be so addicting. Alert and happy? Your body
and brain likes this stuff.
The blocking of
adenosine receptors will prevent deep sleep, which you
need. As a result you are tired the next day and so you
reach for more coffee.
Guarana is a herbal drink that contains a type alkaloid (active
ingredient) similar to caffeine known as guaranine. This
drink is made up of Guarana seed extract and it is nearly two
or three times stronger than the caffeine used in coffee, tea
and soft drinks.
Why is there so much difference between guaranine found
in a Guarana dink and caffeine found in coffee, tea and soft
drinks? It is because the Guarana seed extract is a
fatty substance (even in powder form) and is not easily
dissolved in water.
The human body can't absorb Guarana seed extract drink
quickly, and it sometimes may take many hours to absorb.
The Guarana seed extract drink is absorbed gradually,
therefore the energy enhancement effects of guarana that are
experienced from Guarana drink are not like that of coffee or
tea, with its rapid rise and quick drop off.
Over hours, Guarana keeps going and creating
energy. One of the claimed effects of guaranine is a
cooling action that rejuvenates and relaxes, whereas caffeine
gives a short energy boost up that over-heats and excites the
body.
The main reason behind this is that Guarana contains
several other alcaloids (active ingredients) that modify the
activity of the material. Memory is also supported by
ingesting Guarana Seed Extract.
Guarana seed extract is generally used as a stimulant,
appetite suppressant, to stop smoking, for pain relief, or as
an additive to soft drinks. Guarana seed extract has
also shown to increase alertness, fights weakness, and aids
stamina and physical endurance.
Some people drink Guarana seed extract as a health
tonic. Guarana seed extract might be useful to reduce
obesity as it burns the fat from the body.
Guarana seed extract helps in release of stored fat from
the body and allows the stored fats in the body to be turned
into energy.
Ribose
Accelerates Energy Recovery
D-Ribose is made in
your body in a slow, laborious process and cannot be found in
food. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia
Syndrome (FMS) causes your body to dump key energy molecules like
Acetyl-L Carnitine and D-Ribose, making it hard to get
the body's energy furnaces working again even after these
problems were treated.
Not having D-Ribose would be like trying to build a fire
without kindling - nothing would happen. Giving D-Ribose
to people with CFS will jump-start their energy furnaces.
A recently published study showed an average 44.7%
increase in energy after only 3 weeks (improvement began at 12
days) and an average overall improvement in quality of life of
30%. Two thirds of the CFS and FMS patients felt they
had improved. Usually a 10% improvement for a single nutrient
is considered excellent. A 44.7% improvement is
incredible.
D-Ribose is a simple, five-carbon sugar (known as a
pentose by biochemists) that is found naturally in our
bodies. But Ribose is not like any other sugar.
Sugars we are all familiar with, such as table sugar
(sucrose), corn sugar (glucose), milk sugar (lactose), honey
(predominately fructose), and others are used by the body as
fuel.
Ribose, on the other hand, is special. When we
consume Ribose, the body recognizes that it is different from
other sugars and preserves it for the vital work of actually
making the energy molecules that powers our hearts, muscles,
brains, and every other tissue in the body.
A key molecule, called adenosine triphosphate (or ATP
for short), is known as the energy creator of the cell because
the amount of ATP we have in our tissues determines whether we
will be fatigued, or will have the energy we need to live
vital, active lives.
D-Ribose provides the key building block of ATP, and the
presence of D-Ribose in the cell stimulates the metabolic
pathway our bodies use to actually make this vital compound.
If the cell does not have enough Ribose, it cannot make
ATP. So, when cells and tissues become energy starved,
the availability of Ribose is critical to energy recovery.
Though it is a simple sugar, D-Ribose will not raise
blood sugar levels, in fact, it will lower them
slightly.
D-Ribose is an excellent supplement for individuals who
are chronically tired, have muscle stiffness, soreness and
pain.
L-Carnitine
Benefits
L-Carnitine is converted by the body from the proteins
found primarily in meat. Probably the very best L-Carnitine
benefit, and the one that most people are interested in, is
the way the L-Carnitine helps the body metabolize fatty acids.
One a cellular level, each cell in the body burns and
processes its own energy. The power plant of the cell is
called the mitrochondria. Each cell has one, and they
process energy on a cellular level.
But in order for energy to get to the mitrochondria, it
must be transported there, just like oil needs to come through
miles of piping to get to the oil refinery center.
The chemical that the cell needs in order to transport
fat to the mitrochondria to be metabolized is
L-Carnitine.
When you combine L-Carnitine with exercise, the fat
burning is kicked off and the L-Carnitine does what it's best
at, providing the body with lots of energy from stored fats.
The body can convert L-Carnitine to acetyl-L-carnitine
and back again when it requires either of these compounds.
Acetyl L-Carnitine is a modified form of L-Carnitine.
This form of L-Carnitine is more easily accessed by the body,
as it absorbs into the small intestine and passes through the
blood-brain barrier more efficiently.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine does four really remarkable things
for your brain and all of your nervous system,
including:
-
Keep neurons healthy and energetic
-
Repairs and protects membrane signal receptors
-
Protects neurons form the damage of stress
-
Helps increase levels of the important brain messenger
acetylcholine to promote memory function and learning
ability.
Simply put, Acetyl-L-Carnitine does virtually everything
a nutrient could do to keep your brain functioning optimally.
Of particular importance is the ability of
Acetyl-L-Carnitine to protect the mitochondria - the
intracellular powerhouses. Consequently,
Acetyl-L-Carnitine not only protects the brain, but the entire
body as well. You are as young as your brain, but you
are also only as young as your mitochondria throughout your
body as well. Acetyl-L-Carnatine protects all of the above.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine increases levels of nerve growth
factor (NGF) - an important brain healing compound.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine also increases the ability of the body to
use NGF more effectively. NGF plays a key role in
preserving neurons, especially those that make the valuable
brain messenger chemical acetylcholine.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine also helps neurons in the hippocampus
respond better to NGF. As we age, we respond less
effectively to NGF, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine reverses this
decline.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine also helps maintain the myelin sheath
around the nerves that is important for their health and
function. This is important because without myelin, our nerves
cannot transmit their messages at optimal speed. This
suggests that Acetyl-L-Carnitine might be useful in the
treatment and prevention of multiple sclerosis.
