Active Ingredients and How it Works

• B vitamins, magnesium: changes food to fuel and boosts energy and metabolism
• L-Tyrosine: an amino acid that decrease stress and fatigue, aids in alertness and metabolism
• Glucuronolactone: a carbohydrate, provides energy
• Caffeine: a diuretic, boosts metabolism and energy, and suppresses appetite
• Theobromine: a stimulant that does not affect central nervous system
• Rhodiola: decreases stress and fatigue
• Panax Ginseng: decreases stress, boosts energy
• Octacosanol: enhances exercise endurance

Scientific Evidence

Caffeinated drinks and other energy drinks can only offer a temporary increase of energy; after an hour or so, your energy level will crash leaving you more drained than you were before. Isatori’s claims that Energize will not have this “crash” effect are unproven. While Isatori makes mention of “research” on their website, they did not specify if their research included double-blinded placebo-controlled studies that provided dependable findings that were free of bias, which could make their claims credible. The bottom line is you cannot expect any supplement or medication to completely eliminate fatigue and this includes Energize.

Consumer Feedback

“A typical cup of strong coffee gave me the same results.”

"I've been using these pills for over 2 years and I SWEAR BY THEM! I don't go out to gatherings unless I'm energized, and these pills deliver THAT AND THEN SOME. I'm completely FOCUSED and ALERT and things come to mind faster than normal, without all the jitteriness of being heavily caffeinated. I use them on weekends and they last a good 12 hours I'd say, possibly more."
