KK, this is the real deal. Too bad this wasn’t around when I was playing. All the drinks that we were forced to drink, because of big sponsorship deals, didn’t deliver like this FU does. Within 15 -20 minutes, I feel refreshed and ready to go. The alertness along with the energy is unlike anything that I have ever experienced from a drink. Thanks, great stuff!

ELECTROLYTES
Americans consume too much sodium and not enough potassium and this is a public health concern. [5]
Sodium chloride is an essential compound our body uses to absorb and transport nutrients, maintain blood pressure, maintain the right balance of fluid, transmit nerve signals, and contract and relax muscles. [8]
Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is needed by the body to form collagen and make skin, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. It also uses this vitamin to repair and maintain cartilage, bones and teeth, to heal wounds and to form scar tissue. Vitamin C is a vital antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals that we are exposed to in the environment such as air pollution, cigarette smoke and ultraviolet light from the sun. Vitamin C plays an important role in immune function. [11]
Vitamin E
Vitamin E functions mainly as an antioxidant to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin E also helps protect eyesight. Vitamin E supplementation significantly enhances both cell-mediated and humoral immune functions in humans. [12]
B VITAMINS
Vitamin B3 (niacin) has an established role in the modulation of inflammatory cascades. [14]
OTHER NUTRIENTS
Vitamin A is a micronutrient involved in the development of the immune system and plays regulatory roles in cellular immune responses and humoral (bodily fluid) immune processes. [19]
PROPRIETARY BLEND
Ginger aids in digestion and assists in the body's anti-inflammatory response. [21]
Glucuronolactone
According to the Merck Index, glucuronolactone is an important structural component of nearly all connective tissues and is also a detoxicant. [22]
L-cysteine
L-cysteine may help prevent exercise-induced overproduction of free radicals. [23]
L-carnitine
L-carnitine plays a crucial role in the production of energy by transporting fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria. [24]
BiAloe®
BiAloe is a stabilized and very bioavailable form of acemannan, the active ingredient in aloe vera.
D-ribose
D-ribose is a key component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule required for storing and releasing cellular energy. [25]
