Do vampires need energy drinks? Well, sort of. Blood is their drink of choice, and it seems to keep them going through the worknight well into coffin time the next morning.

Those of us with boring office jobs know what the 3 o’clock slump is like - it stands to reason that vampires might have the same problem at 3am, when they need a little nibble to get them through till dawn.

Well, just in time for Halloween and the release of the new Twilight movie comes Blood Energy Potion.It claims to have both the consistency of blood, and the nutritional makeup thereof. Whatever that means. Except it tastes like fruit punch. So it’s like the annoying chicks at the party drinking wine coolers while everyone else is belting shots of tequila. “Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste!”

Personally I think this is an excellent niche for a drink maker. Hardcore sport enthusiasts - skaters, wrestlers, bikers, night shift workers, long haul drivers and students cramming for exams turn to All-Day Energy Spray to get the burst of energy and clarity they need to work and play hard. But what about those poor goth/emo kids? They’re clearly wasting away from lethargy and ennui. It’s important for them to have an energy drink of their own. Honestly, no one looks like they need it more.

The bees are all abuzz. Seems like everyone is using energy supplements these days, even the busy little bees.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is instructing British beekeepers to put out an “energy drink” for lazy bees made from water and sugar. This will rouse the bees, and remind them that their supposed to be busily pollinating flowers instead of drowsing in the honeycombs.

Bad weather has thus far been blamed for the bee lethargy.

While the mixture may be rudimentary (two tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of water), it clearly works. The bees are up and about again, doing their part to maintain the food chain. The same idea works for humans, though not as well. Simple water and sugar will give us a boost, but it won’t sustain us. That combo will leave us feeling more sluggish than ever once it wears off, and unlike the bees, we don’t have a hive to hide out in.

Xytine™ - the active ingredient in All-Day Energy Spray - is an all-natural stimulant that works quickly, sustains evenly, and wears off without the crash. Xytine™ is NOT recommended for bees, and should only be used by athletes, students, sports enthusiasts, nurses, truck drivers and any other HUMAN who needs a flavorful energy boost.

Let this be a warning to the bees: Keep your stingers away from All-Day Energy Spray!

You want to film your friends at the skate park? Or on their bikes? Go for it!

Just be sure to make clear in the video what you think Xytine™ could do to improve your play.

Xytine™ is the all-natural active ingredient in All-Day Energy Spray. It brings the voom to your va va voom. All-Day Energy Spray’s proprietary Xytine™ formula is made from all-natural stimulants that can easily be absorbed and processed in your body. And unlike other energy enhancing products – both in drink form or by prescription – the amount you use can be controlled by you. Whether you need a little or a lot is up to you.

Enter the contest to win:

• 1st Place: $500 and two cases of All-Day Energy Spray™ plus an appearance in the next episode of ”The Adventures of Sloth Boy”
• 2nd Place: $200 and a case of All-Day Energy Spray™
• 3rd Place: $100 and 4 bottles of All-Day Energy Spray™
• Up to 5 honorable mentions

The jury is still out on many energy drink products like Red Bull and 5-Hour Energy. The FDA rarely gets involved in these types of products (All-Day Energy Spray included) unless there is a hazard involved.

For example, the FDA got involved with HydroxyCut, the fat burning pill that was taken off the market earlier this year because of the potential for severe liver damage.

But when it comes to energy supplements, hard data isn’t easy to come by.

So what do we know about them? Well, like most things in life, everything should be consumed in moderation. There isn’t enough caffeine or B-vitamins in drinks like 5-Hour to do serious harm to anyone, when taken as directed. You suck down a dozen of them, and you’re dealing with something else altogether. But the makers are pretty clear about that on their website: they state that there’s a potential “niacin flush reaction” from Vitamin B3, but that’s very temporary.

The fact is drinks like Red Bull shouldn’t be taken in conjunction with 5-Hour Energy, which shouldn’t be capped off with All-Day Energy Spray, which shouldn’t be washed down with coffee!

All-Day Energy Spray and its Xytine formula are made from all natural ingredients that are designed to give you a boost of energy and clarity. It is not designed to keep you awake for days at a time! All-Day Energy Spray is made for people who like to play hard, but wrestlers, skaters and other extreme athletes know that taking care of their bodies with proper rest and nutrition are crucial to peak performance.

The maker of 5-Hour Energy said it best: “There is no law against stupidity and there is always that person out there that is going to push the envelope and consume too many…”

So don’t be stupid! Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated (especially important for heavy coffee drinkers and takers of diet pills, as they are very dehydrating by nature), and use energy products in moderation.

Here’s the video you’ve all been waiting for: the first episode of the Adventures of Sloth Boy. Sloth Boy tries to get his claws on some Xytine, with disastrous results.

All-Day Energy Spray has a unique active ingredient called Xytine that provides the boost of energy, alertness and mental clarity without the “crash” common to other energy drinks/pills/bars etc. Here’s some information about Xytine, its history, effects, and benefits.

Xytine is a proprietary synergistic combination found in plants, herbs and extracts containing phytochemicals and natural elements found to support energy, mood, and alertness. Xytine also works faster, lasts longer, and is safer than artificial caffeine, stimulants, or sugars.

History

Humans have consumed Xytine-like compounds since the Stone Age. Early peoples found that chewing the seeds, bark, or leaves of certain plants had the effects of easing fatigue, stimulating awareness, and elevating one’s mood.

Many cultures have legends that attribute the discovery of such plants to people living many thousands of years ago. For example, a popular myth traces its discovery to Ethiopia, where Coffea arabica originates. According to this myth, a goat herder named Kaldi observed goats that became elated and sleepless at night after browsing on coffee shrubs and, upon trying the berries that the goats had been eating, experienced the same vitality.

Archeological evidence suggests that people consumed tea leaves steeped in boiling water as many as 500,000 years ago. Green tea has been consumed throughout the ages in India, China, Japan, and Thailand. In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners used green tea as a stimulant.

The kola nut, like the coffee berry and tea leaf, appears to have ancient origins. It is chewed in many West African cultures, individually or in a social setting, to restore vitality.

Efficacy

People who regularly use Xytine report rapid effects of increased energy, mood and alertness. The precise amount of Xytine necessary to produce effects varies from person to person depending on body size and degree of tolerance. On average it takes less than ten minutes for Xytine to begin affecting the body. The rapid response is due to the sublingual nature of the recommended delivery system. An average, mild dose wears off in three to four hours.

Benefits and Safety of Phytochemicals and Natural Elements

The herbs contained in Xytine contain natural caffeine that is considered more desirable and safer than synthetic caffeine, stimulants or sugars. Caffeine in moderation can help with increased energy and performance. However, the natural caffeine found in herbs is balanced with other natural phytoelements that allow for moderate absorption and digestion by the body. This results in less toxicity, shock to the body, and longer lasting effects.

It’s not only the natural caffeine that is responsible for the improved energy and cognition effects of Xytine. The herbs and extracts found in Xytine have natural elements shown to increase energy, alertness, memory and mood. For example, Guarana is widely used for its natural caffeine content, yet it helps with improved mood and alertness not attributed to caffeine as shown in recent human trials.

Also, Xytine contains Green Tea, which has been used for centuries to increase alertness and wellness. Not only does Green Tea contain natural caffeine, but it also contains the phytochemical L-Theanine which helps with cognition, calm, and focus.

One of the natural elements found in Xytine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, is a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid found in high concentrations in the cells of the brain, neural tissue, heart and muscles. It has been shown to increase mental clarity, focus, and mood.

Synergy

Xytine consists of a proprietary blend of herbs and extracts that act in synergy to produce beneficial effects. Synergy refers to the idea that the sum of the parts adds up to more than the whole. This idea is an important one for herbalism, where it is essential to combine different herbs thoughtfully and carefully in order to maximize the benefits and minimize side effects. When you combine different herbs, the result can be a great deal more powerful (and sometimes different) than any of the herbs taken individually or separately. Xytine contains ingredients formulated in combination in specific amounts in order to maximize energy and alertness and minimize jitters or crashes.

So, that should answer many questions you may have about Xytine. If you’d like more information, leave a comment, and check out the rest of the All-Day Energy Spray website.
