Smart Drinks: Caffeine and Tyrosine Equals Better Performance

In the old days, a drink high in caffeine and sugar was enough for an athlete or regular office worker to stay awake or alert. These drinks, usually a cola drink or coffee, came with unwanted side effects like the jitters or increased trips to the toilet. Some even resorted to caffeine pills.

Along came a new breed of drinks comprising of caffeine and Tyrosine or Taurine which were classified as “mental alertness” or “neurotransmitter” drinks.

Why are they called neurotransmitter drinks? Tyrosine blocks the release of Tryptophan in your brain, which is the amino acid that gives you the sleepy or sedative feeling during a near-maximal effort, usually after 20 seconds of exertion.

Tryptophan is also found high in turkey meat and warm milk, both of which can make you sleepy after a huge Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Whether or not it can cross the blood-brain barrier is another open topic for discussion.

Here is a summary of selected drinks to give you energy, stay focused and be mentally awake! They can be consumed by an ordinary office worker, or used as a pre-competition drink to an athlete.

Some of the items on this list may only be available in North America in this highly competitive market. Some even include ingredients such as ginseng extract or gingko biloba to label itself as a “healthy” alternative.

This has proven to increase the sperm count and intensifies the quality of the sperm. Ginseng helps raise the testosterone levels, which is needed for healthy sperm and ejaculation. Another supplement is Vitamin B-12, which can increase the mobility of sperm that is caused by a lack of B-12 in the body.

Other fertility increasing supplements are Vitamin E, Omega fatty acids and zinc. In order to keep the reproductive system in a man healthy and keep sperm production high, Zinc is needed in the diet or in the form of a supplement.
