Spike Sugar (250ml & 440ml)

USN SPIKE has been formulated to enhance mental and physical performance. This effect is accomplished by the combination of 4 vital ingredients: caffeine, taurine, ginseng and glucuronolactone. Research suggests that these ingredients may have positive effects on human physical performance and mood.

In moderation, caffeine is a mild stimulant. An overdose of caffeine can result in heart palpitations, high blood pressure, vomiting and convulsions. Up to 400mg of caffeine per day in divided doses, has been considered harmless to a healthy diet. Physical exertion lowers the body's taurine reserves. Additional taurine supplementation may therefore reduce fatigue by replenishing the body's taurine supply.

Glucuronolactone is a normal human metabolite formed from glucose. It may positively influence insulin production and therefore has an effect on energy production from glucose. A combination of B Vitamins is needed to improve physical and mental function.

Recommended use:

  • Consume moderately - no more than 250ml per day.
  • Drink 30 minutes prior to sporting event or to give your body and mind an energy boost when required.
