BACKGROUND

[0001] Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to being prior art by inclusion in this section. Field of the invention:

[0002] The subject matter in general relates to energy drinks. More particularly, but not exclusively, the subject matter relates to the composition of energy drinks using different solvents such as water, milk and alcohol and various vitamins &naturally occurring substances to provide a balanced energy drink. Discussion of the related art:

[0003] Most people depend on coffee to kick start their day. Caffeine content in coffee boosts your energy and causes you to feel more alert and awake. The same caffeine is also consumed in the form of energy drink these days. Energy drinks provide you the extra oomph that you seek to get through your day. [0004] Large amounts of caffeine in energy drinks provides the consumer with the desirable effects of improved memory, increased alertness and elevated mood. Most of the energy drinks available in the market typically includes caffeine with less quantity of dietary supplements. Energy drinks may help you to overcome fatigue, but frequent consumption may be hazardous to your health. [0005] Several studies show that excessive consumption of energy drinks result in adverse health effects. As most of the energy drinks include high quantity of caffeine and artificial sweeteners, the heavy intake of caffeine with energy drinks might result in gastrointestinal and psychological effect along with many other side effects.

[0006] Additionally, conventional energy drinks don't have ingredients in quantities that are necessary for stronger body and efficient physiological functions of body. Also, ingredients that protect microvascular health and release energy at cellular levels are absent in conventional energy drinks. [0007] In light of the foregoing discussion, there is a need for an improved energy drink, the composition of which have been disclosed herein.

WATER BASED ENERGY DRINK:

[0017] The composition of the water based energy drink and their biological benefits are described in detail below.

Composition and their quantity for water based energy drink:

20 Sucralose q. s.

21 Ginseng 100 mg

22 Glucuronolactone 1500 mg

23 Guar ana 1 gm

24 Malic Acid 1200-2400 mg

25 Cocoa 30 gm

26 Water 1 litre

27 Calories 263

[0018] Water based energy drink primarily includes at least one amino acid along with taurine, caffeine and at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of vitaminic additive, herbal additive, mineral additive, proteins, bioactive nutrient additive, sweetening agent, flavoring agent, coloring agent, preservatives, solvents, either individually or in combinations thereof.

[0019] In an embodiment, the amino acid is selected from the group comprising alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, pyroglutamate, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine, either individually or in combinations thereof. [0020] In the instant embodiment, the composition of the water based energy drink may include branched chain amino acids such as leucine, iso-leucine and valine along with other amino acids like glutamine and tryptophan. Branched chain amino acids help in the recovery of muscles post exertion. Furthermore, amino acids are the most important macronutrients. Glutamine is another important amino acid that helps in muscle building. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid which is required to form serotonin, a neurotransmitter which plays a key role in the central nervous system.

[0021] As an example, 15 grams of branched chain amino acids may be used, i.e. ,5 grams of leucine, 5 grams of iso-leucine and 5 grams of valine may be used. In addition to the branched chain amino acids, 3.5 grams of amino acids may be used. For example, 3 grams of glutamine and 0.5 grams of tryptophan may be used. In the example embodiment, the weight quantity of said amino acids mentioned, or that may be mentioned at later stages in embodiments of the description, may be per litre of the caffeine-comprising liquid, i.e., in this case, per litre of water.

[0022] In an embodiment, the vitaminic additive is selected from the group consisting of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B l, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7 and Vitamin B 12 either individually or in combinations thereof. [0023] In the instant embodiment, the water based energy drink includes Vitamin B 1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C. Thiamine pyrophosphate synthesized from Vitamin B 1 acts as coenzyme to Pyruvate Dehydrogenase, which is responsible for release of energy. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is an anti-oxidant which helps in breakdown of proteins to amino acids, thereby helping in the release of energy.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is a key component of coenzymes NAD and NADP, whereas both NAD & NADP are required by hundreds of enzymes in body. Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) is a component of coenzyme A (CoA), which plays a critical role in the utilization of fats and carbohydrates in energy production, as well as in the manufacture of adrenal hormones and red blood cells. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxin) helps the body make several neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry signals from one nerve cell to another. Its active form, Pyridoxal

Phosphate acts as coenzyme to Glycogen Phosphorylase, which breaks down Glycogen to Glucose, thus providing source of energy for body. Vitamin B 12 (Cobalamin) is an especially important vitamin for maintaining healthy nerve cells, and it helps in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material. Lack of Vitamin B 12 causes Anaemia which may lead to fatigue. Hence liberal dose of Vitamin B 12 is desired for energetic body. Vitamin C

(ascorbic acid) is an anti-oxidant that boosts immunity. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used in strengthening skin, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth. Vitamin B9 (Folic acid) is necessary for adequate haemoglobin (Hb) production, where haemoglobin carries oxygen in body. Vitamin B 12 works closely with vitamin B9, also called folate or folic acid, to help make red blood cells and to help iron work better in the body.

[0024] As an example, 234.04 mg of Vitamin B and 75 mg of Vitamin C may be used. Among the 234.04 mg of Vitamin B, the proportion may be as follows: 30 mg of Vitamin B 1, 3 mg of Vitamin B2, 120 mg of Vitamin B3, 40 mg of Vitamin B5, 40 mg of Vitamin B6, 40 meg of Vitamin B 12, 1000 meg of Folic acid may be used. [0025] In an embodiment, the bioactive nutrient additives may be selected from any one of inositol, creatine, carnitine, acetyl carnitine, lipoic acid, gamma- aminobutyric acid, carnosine, choline, cytidine diphosphocholine, dimethyl-amino-ethanol, S-adenosyl-L- methionine, quercetin, lycopene, glycosaminoglycan and phosphatidylserine, either individually or in combinations thereof. [0026] In the instant embodiment, the bioactive nutrient additives present in the water based energy drink are creatine and carnitine. Creatine is a naturally-occurring amino acid (protein building block) that's found in meat and fish, and made by the human body in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is converted into creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine and stored in the muscles, where it is used for energy. Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized to produce energy. As an example, 1 gram of creatine and 1 gram of carnitine may be used as the bioactive nutrient additives.

[0027] In an embodiment, the herbal additive is comprised of at least one of ginseng, tea, green tea, guarana, grape seed, turmeric (Diferuloyl Methane, curcumin), milk thistle, schisandra, reishi, damiana, chocolate, carob, piperine, and extracts thereof, either individually or in combinations thereof.

[0028] In the instant embodiment, the water based energy drink includes herbal additives such as ginseng, green tea extract and guarana. Ginseng is a good tonic that benefits one's stamina and helps boost energy levels. It helps use oxygen more effectively, and it regulates metabolism, which can increase energy levels. It also acts as nerve tonic and reduces stress levels. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. This includes improved brain function, fat loss, lower risk of cancer, lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes etc. Guarana is used for weight loss, to enhance athletic performance, as a stimulant, and to reduce mental and physical fatigue. Guarana is commonly used to treat low blood pressure and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in some medical practices. As an example, 100 mg of ginseng, 200 mg green tea extract and 1 gram of guarana may be used as the herbal additives.

[0029] In an embodiment, the sweetener is comprised of at least one of sucrose, glucose, fructose, honey, saccharin, aspartame, cyclamate, stevioside, acesulfame k, sucralose, alitame, neohesperidine dc, thaumatin, sucaryl and xylitol, either individually or in combinations thereof.

[0030] In the instant embodiment, the water based energy drink includes required quantity of sucrose. If necessary, sucralose is added. Sucrose provides body with the energy required to perform physical and mental functions. The body breaks down foods such as sucrose and starch into fructose and glucose during digestion and the fructose and glucose are metabolized to release energy. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener and sugar substitute. The majority of ingested sucralose is not broken down by the body, so it is noncaloric. As an example, 25 grams of sucrose may be used, whereas sucralose may be added according to recipe's sweetness.

[0031] In an embodiment, taurine may be added as an ingredient in the water based energy drink. It acts as a neurotransmitter and is essential for the proper functioning of heart and skeletal muscles. It is also essential for the synthesis of bile salts in body. As an example, 5000 mg of taurine may be used.

[0032] In an embodiment, glucuronolactone may be added to the water based energy drink. Glucuronolactone can increase energy levels, reduce sleepiness and improve alertness and reaction time. Glucuronolactone is considered a main component of chondroitin sulfate and is considered by some researchers to be useful in making joints, ligaments and tendons healthy and elastic, and is used in medicine for the treatment of arthritis. It has been shown in research to benefit the liver because of its involvement in detoxification of the liver through glucuronidation processes. As an example, 1500 mg of Glucuronolactone may be added. [0033] In an embodiment, Malic acid may be added to the water based energy drink. It maintains normal Ph in the body (Ph is acid base balance and normal Ph is essential for homeostasis). Malic acid removes fatigue in body and improves exercise tolerance. As an example, 1200-2400 mg of Malic acid may be used.

[0034] In an embodiment, cocoa may be added as an ingredient to the water based energy drink. Cocoa has high anti-cancer antioxidants and helps in keeping the cholesterol level down. As an example, 30 grams of cocoa may be used.

[0035] Caffeine in the energy drink stimulates Central Nervous System, which can make you feel more awake and give you a boost of energy. It is a diuretic that helps your body get rid of extra salt and water by urinating more. As an example, 150 mg of Caffeine may be used.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, a litre of the water based energy drink has around 263 calories.
