An energy drink ingredient, theobromine, found in Xe Energy from Xocai and in dark chocolate may be more effective than cough medicine according to a recent study.

Scientists, in research at Imperial College London and published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal, found that a key ingredient in dark chocolate and in the Xocai Xe energy drink was a third more effective than the leading medicine codeine in stopping persistent coughs.

Theobromine is one of the ingredients in the new Xe energy drink by Xocai. Theobromine also acts as a stimulant. It may be that the theobromine suppresses the vagus nerve which is responsible for causing coughing.

Theobromine may be a better choice for coughing, especially for people that use heavy machinery or who drive, since there doesn’t seem to be a side effect of drowsiness in fact just the opposite (which is probably why it is being used in the new Xocai Xe Energy Drink.

There are many over the counter cough remedies (many which have no evidence that they work at all). Millions are being spent on these every year.

The studies look promising, but more studies need to be done. Always, of course, consult with a doctor before you try anything for your health. Wouldn’t it be nice if someday your doctor prescribed you a chocolate or a tasty energy drink to get rid of you cough

Xocai is first to market with an energy drink using theobromine in their energy drink. Xocai is also the category creator of healthy chocolate.

One of the healthy energy drink ingredients we’ve been seeing lately is Maca Extract.

A Peruvian plant, Maca started to gain popularity in the early 2000′s. Maca became an ingredient commonly found in herbal aphrodisiac formulas, foods and energy drinks, of course. Maca is a root commonly used in the Andean region in South America, especially in Peru and Bolivia.

There are several studies about the aphrodisiacal (is that even a word) properties of Maca. Including studies about Maca extract helping men with mild ED and other sexual dysfunctions.

It has also been used to help women with menstrual pain and irregularities and conditions such as menopause. Some women find Maca extract helps to fight  symptoms of fatigue, hot flashes and anxiety associated with menopause.

Nice as all that is, what does that have to do with a smart energy drink? And why is it a healthy energy drink ingredient?

Well, Maca extract has also been found, in clinical studies, to help with memory. More studies need to be done (as usual in the science community) to get conclusive evidence, but Maca may help with memory impairment.

Maca  root, which looks kinda like a small, brown turnip, is rich in calcium, natural fiber, phosphorous, and iron is being used by everyone from the young to the elderly to boost energy levels and to increase physical stamina and performance. It is a natural food that also contains amino acids, complex carbohydrates, vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E and minerals, including zinc, magnesium and iron.

There are a number of steroidal glycosides present in Maca root and it is very rapidly gaining popularity with athletes, weight lifters and body builders. Maca extract seems to give more stamina and endurance in athletes, promote better mental clarity, and  it has been widely used as an aphrodisiac for both men and women.

That’s smart! That’s energy! Now look for it in your healthy energy drink!

We learned about a smart energy drink video contest. Turns out there are a number of smart prizes, including some killer custom snowboards and cases of this energy drink Xe. So we put together an animated video (the whole family pitched) Drawing by my daughter, voices from all of us, a little simple editing of slides by me. And voila an cartoon video about the Xe energy drink.

But we have a problem.

We need at least 10k views on YouTube to get in the running.  So, would you help us out? Would you go to  http://4tuit.us/cow watch the video, maybe leave a comment, or even pass it on to your email list?

Thank you very much. When we are boarding down the slopes, we’ll remember you, especially if you leave a comment here or at http://4tuit.us/cow
