Transcript

We just released what I believe to be the best functional energy drink on the market right now, and I am making a shirtless video to grab your attention and tell you about it. So what we did was we took a little alpha GPC, l theanine, lion's mane, ginseng, taurine, etcetera, a bunch of functional ingredients and nootropics, And we threw them in with only a hundred milligrams of natural caffeine, organic cane sugar, natural cherry flavor, natural lime flavor, and a little bit of non GMO citric acid, and that's it. That's all the ingredients. It's a better for you alcohol alternative slash functional energy drink. It's meant to be drank twenty to thirty minutes before you do anything. There's 20 grams of organic cane sugar in there, which I know maybe can sound like a lot, but it's actually the healthiest, the best for you sweetener there is, which makes it also function as a decent pre workout if you wanted a little bit of carbs before you work worse, before you go anywhere. I'm really excited for all of you to try it. And to be honest, I'm not kidding. The flavor is it's out of control. We've given out 6,000 cans already in the first
