VitClear is launching its new Active Health Lemon and Lime flavour. It is the perfect soda to accompany you on a workout at the gym, or when taking part in intense physical activity, as it enhances hydration and supports endurance without affecting sleep, as caffeinated drinks can.
Active Health from VitClear is the UK’s first creatine soda. In the past, it was deemed impossible to formulate a soda with creatine, due to creatine’s poor solubility in either heat-pasteurised or carbonated liquids, stability issues and excessive frothing. Active Health proves that although creating a creatine-containing soda is challenging, it is not impossible. And it can taste great, too!
Creatine is a potent, evidence-based nootropic, which has long been used by athletes and fitness fans to assist during workouts and improve recovery. Creatine increases strength while creating “quick burst” energy, without relying on caffeine. This has the potential to improve performance without affecting endurance. Studies also suggest that creatine may help brain function, including short term memory, reasoning and neuroprotection.
Creatine is just one of the nootropics in the formulation of the new Active Health Lemon and Lime flavour. Not only does it provide 100% of the recommended daily amount of water-based vitamins, 50% of oil-based vitamins, 15% of most minerals, and over 400mg of comprehensive electrolytes, it also has the following powerful ingredients:
Protein – Protein is the building block of your muscles. Eating adequate amounts can help maintain muscle mass and promote muscle growth during strength training. It also has benefits for bone health, can boost metabolism and is shown to increase fat burning. Protein helps your body to repair itself after injury. Consuming it may also help reduce appetite and manage hunger levels, meaning you may well be able to take in fewer calories than you would if you were eating higher portions of carbohydrates and fats.
BCAAs – Branched-chain amino acids; specifically leucine, isoleucine and valine; are supplemented largely for muscle health. Not only may they help protect muscles, they are also used to reduce muscle soreness and to drive muscle protein synthesis for growth and repair. BCAAs may also help reduce fatigue during exercise.
L-carnitine – This nutrient helps move more fatty acids into your cells so they can be burned for energy, which is why it is sometimes used for weight loss. When it comes to exercise, some studies suggest l-carnitine may help improve muscle oxygen supply and muscle recovery and generally help power, performance and endurance. Research also indicates benefits for the health of the heart and brain, and for people with type 2 diabetes.
Taurine – This nootropic is another amino acid that may boost exercise performance by improving strength, power and recovery times; by increasing oxygen uptake and reducing muscle damage. It is also commonly used to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte balance. Other potential benefits include eye and hearing health, heart health and neuroprotective effects.
Ashwagandha – Another nootropic ingredient, Ashwagandha is not only an important Ayurvedic herb, it also has many other potential benefits, according to research. As well as being classed as an adaptogen, a substance that could help the body cope with stress and anxiety, studies show evidence of benefits for mental health, fertility and sleep, among others. Ashwagandha may enhance physical performance, including strength and oxygen use during exercise. It has also been shown to significantly enhance maximum oxygen consumption and it may increase muscle strength, too.
L-theanine – Found in green tea, l-theanine is one of the most common ingredients in modern performance drinks, and has been studied extensively for its effects in reducing stress and anxiety and enhancing sleep. It has also been used to mitigate the effects of stimulants such as caffeine. Plus, studies suggest it can help athletes’ immunity.
With all these amazing benefits in one can of low-sugar soda, this is a great alternative to shakes and supplements, as well as being convenient to take with you to the gym or wherever you choose to exercise. The lemon and lime flavour also tastes great!
