Does XS contain Gluten?
No - XS Energy Drinks are Gluten free!
Is XS Energy Drink FDA approved?
Since XS is a beverage, we have never been required to seek any FDA approval.
Is caffeine-free XS okay for pregnant women?
XS Energy Drink cannot make recommendations for people with specific medical conditions. We do however offer caffeine free options. Please check with your doctor before making any changes to your diet.
XS Energy Drinks are generally as safe as a cola drink, cup of tea or coffee. SInce there is no sugar in XS, it recommended by many health professionals as a much better ‘treat’ for some children other than sodas or even juices. Due to the herb content and Vitamin-B complex, drinking XS Energy Drinks offers many of the same benefits as Green Tea – very beneficial for managing stress and as an antioxidant.
Caffeine-free XS Energy Drinks are recommended for children 12 and under...since most children already have plenty of energy!

Is XS safe for diabetics?
XS drinks are exactly what diabetics have been looking for. With zero sugar, diabetics can safely enjoy great taste with great benefits and the extra boost of energy they need. Double check to confirm that the consumer is not allergic to any of the herbs contained in the formula.
Benefits for ADHD?
Caffeine is credited with increasing the substance, serotonin, in the neural connections (synapses) in the brain. This increase in serotonin is credited with increasing concentration and focus. It is also credited with elevating one's mood.
Ritalin is a commonly used drug with ADD and ADHD patients. A major component of Ritalin is caffeine. That caffeine is credited with calming down these patients and increasing the amount of time they can focus on the topic at hand.
Proprietary Herbal Blend
The herb blend used in XS aids the body in the production of cortisol and food cravings. When your body stresses it pumps cortisol into the blood stream sending a message to your body that you need foods high in fat and sugar, also known as ‘comfort foods.’ Studies show that some herbs suppress the production of cortisol and decrease the cravings some people have for comfort foods. Also, athletes will find that the speed of their recovery times increases after workouts using specific herbs, such as the blend found in XS Energy Drinks. The blend of herbs in XS Energy Drinks is very similar to the blend used by Russian Olympic Athletes to overcome stress from their workouts and radically reduce recovery times.
The herb blend includes:
Eleutherococcus, Senticosus, Panax Ginseng, Panax Quinqefolium, Schisandra, Astragalus, & Reshi.
Ginseng is probably the most potent natural substance that works through the adrenal glands to produce adjustments in the body to both combat and resist stress. All ginseng is related, but each has unique properties that improve concentration, mental sharpness, physical stamina, work capacity and immune function.Ginseng is a plant that has been used for thousands of years to boost energy and guard against fatigue. XS is also the only drink with a standardized ginseng combination that delivers a guaranteed concentration of the critical Rg1 ginsenosides.
Schisandra is a berry that increases energy level & improves concentration, coordination, and endurance.
Reishi mushroom is used to prevent fatigue and reduce stress, as well as a potent immune system enhancer.
Astragalus root helps to strengthen the immune system which can become weakened during times of stress & fatigue.

Will the energy effects be decreased if taken daily?
No.
Is it possible to overdose on B vitamins?
B vitamins are part of the group called "water soluble" vitamins. Excessive amounts of "water soluble" vitamins are merely excreted through the urine.
How much caffeine is in XS Energy Drinks?
All of the XS Energy Drinks, except the caffeine-free flavors, have approximately 83 mg of caffeine. This is the equivalent to a one ounce shot of espresso.
Why is caffeine in the drinks?
The drinks are ENERGY drinks and in order to deliver energy without loads of calories from sugar, you have to find a way to quickly deliver B-vitamins and amino acids.
Caffeine is a great way to enhance performance as well as open the blood vessels so that vitamins and amino acids can quickly enter the bloodstream and give you a boost without the sugar highs and crashes.
Doesn't caffeine make you jittery?
Everyone's body reacts differently to different foods. In most cases, it is not caffeine that makes people "jittery". It is usually the "sugar high" that makes people "jittery". When they "crash" after a sugar high, some people think the solution is another "sugar high" that starts another up-down-up-down cycle that can be very unhealthy both short term and long term.
Are there any other benefits to caffeine?
Caffeine is credited with increasing the substance, serotonin, in the neural connections (synapses) in the brain. This increase in serotonin is credited with increasing concentration and focus. It is also credited with elevating one's mood.
How much sugar is in XS drink?
There is less than 1/2 calorie of sugar in XS Energy Drink. This qualifies for the government-approved statement "No Sugar". The calories in XS are from amino acids and are protein calories that aid your body’s natural metabolic process. Most 8.4 ounce energy drinks in the market today have over 100 calories from 27-30 grams of sugar, which is a simple carbohydrate. Most 12 ounce non-diet soft drinks have 170 calories from 40 grams of sugar. Most 5.5 ounce juice drinks have 80 calories from 20 grams of sugar.
Why is it important to NOT have sugar or carbohydrate calories in any drink?
Calories from sugar and carbohydrates may increase fat deposits. Simple carbohydrates are also called high-glycemic (high sugar) foods. High-glycemic foods cause your body to pump insulin to digest the sugar, which sends a message to your body to store calories as fat. Low-glycemic foods do not pump insulin to the same degree and aid in your body’s natural metabolism of fat, using your body’s fat resources as fuel. The calories in XS are from amino acids and are protein calories that aid your body’s natural metabolic process.
Does XS Energy Drink contain benzene?
There has been some concern recently over reports published on the Internet that high levels of benzene might occur in carbonated soft drinks, including drinks like XS Energy Drinks (benzoate is present in most drinking water in extremely low levels). The conditions for benzene creation include vitamin C, sodium benzoate, exposure to high heat and UV sunlight. While vitamin C and sodium benzoate are common in many soft drinks and in the non-caffeinated XS flavors, XS Energy Drinks are not exposed to high heat or UV light. Tests from a world renowned beverage laboratory confirmed that there were no appreciable levels of benzene in any of the XS Energy Drinks.
The conditions for benzene creation include vitamin C, benzoate, exposure to high heat and UV sunlight. While vitamin C and benzoate are common in many soft drinks and in the non-caffeinated XS flavors, XS Energy Drinks are not exposed to high heat or UV light. We use a unique cold fill process which bypasses the risk for benzene production.
Tests from a world renowned beverage laboratory confirmed that there were no appreciable levels of benzene in any of the XS Energy Drinks. Testing has shown XS benzene levels to be at lower levels than municipal drinking water. The US Environmental Protection Agency has set the maximum permissible level of benzene in drinking water at 0.005 milligrams per liter (0.005 mg/L). The level of benzene in XS is so low that it's measured in parts per billion. The laboratory benzene analysis came up with an aggregate average of 0.475 PPB on the caffeine-free products.
Domestic storage of caffeine free XS drinks can not produce heat levels high enough to form benzene. A hot car exposure can get as high as 125F inside a car in the summer. Pasteurization (the heating process required to produce benzene in a bottled drink) is a function of time and temperature. The pasteurization temperatures are typically 145F for 35 - 45 minutes.

Why are coloring dyes used in XS drinks?
This is an important question, because there has been a lot of press about certain chemicals used as dyes that turned out to be dangerous. None of those dangerous chemicals are used in XS. It is important not to confuse safe, everyday dyes used in countless food products with entirely different chemicals and dyes that were also used to color food products. This is analogous to believing that all wall paints should be avoided because some wall paints in the past contained the dangerous levels of lead.
XS uses two very safe, very popular and frequently used food colorings. The two food colors are: Yellow #5 (2mg or 8 parts per million) in the Citrus and Red #40 (2.5mg or 10 parts per million) in the Cranberry to supplement the natural colors. Extensive scientific studies have never discovered any negative side-effects from these dyes at these extremely low amounts. They are VERY safe.
The reason XS contains these dyes is the same reason it contains flavorings. It's great to take vitamins and herbs for your body, it's just hard to get people to take pills or eat all the things they need to in order to get it. We put all the good stuff in a form that appeals to most people in regards to taste, appearance and convenience.

If people are hyper-sensitive to dyes or caffeine or flavorings or aluminum cans or artificial sweeteners or carbonation or whatever else XS may contain that does not suit them, XS may not be for them. In addition, pregnant and nursing women, young kids, pets, etc, we would recommend they find another type of beverage that meets their needs.
Ace-K
A non-caloric, non-cariogenic (does not promote tooth decay), non-nutritive sweetener that delivers powerful, great-tasting sweetness (approximately 200 times as sweet as sucrose). Preferred because its sweet taste is perceived quickly, does not linger, and does not persist longer than the taste of the product. It provides excellent sugar-like taste.
The Mayo Clinic and the American Diabetes Association approve the use of Ace-K for diabetics. They like this artificial sweetener because it is calorie-free and no studies have proved negative effects on diabetes.
Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid that it is already being produced in our body. This amino acid helps maintain biochemical interactions involved in muscle contraction. The proprietary blend of herbs combined with Taurine help active individuals stay ready and alert. Taurine is effective in shuttling fatty acids for fuel to muscle cells like those in the heart. This means more efficient energy production.
Taurine is an amino acid that has been used for medical therapy for over 50 years. It has shown benefit in improving heart function by increasing the energy supply to the heart cells through fatty acid transport. This seems to benefit athletes by helping to give a sense of energy after exertion.
For athletes, taurine helps to shuttle fatty acids into the heart, facilitating efficient ATP production under aerobic demands (surfing, running, cycling and swimming) and helping performance and recovery. (The “gasoline” of the cell, ATP’s full name is adenosine triphosphate and it is produced in the mitochondria).

(The “gasoline” of the cell, ATP’s full name is adenosine triphosphate and it is produced in the mitochondria).
As a supplement, it is harmless and extra supplementation in the form of XS Energy Drinks holds many benefits as a daily nutritional supplement.
Much of the misplaced fear and urban myths about the dangers of consuming taurine can be traced to a tragic episode in 2000. A healthy 18-year-old Irish football player named Ross Cooney succumbed to Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome. Before the game, Cooney consumed four cans of an energy drink (that contained taurine) and though there was no conclusive connection between that consumption and his death, local authorities categorized the energy drink as a medicine and suggested customers seek medical advice before drinking it.
In defense of adding taurine to XS Energy Drinks, take note that it is required in infant formulas because of its importance in neurological development. Also, under certain conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, and seizure disorders, an individual's taurine requirements climb considerably. Clinically, nutritionally oriented doctors regularly prescribe 1000-5000 mg of taurine daily.
Researchers into the benefits of taurine have noted that taurine modulates the production and activity of cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). It is a cell messenger, serving much like an e-mail to parts of the cell to modulate chemical production like hormones). It is intimately involved with the heart’s ability to function efficiently and it also helps sodium, potassium and possibly calcium and magnesium pass through the muscle cell membranes of the heart.
Taurine has been tested medically, with very positive results, in the treatment of congestive heart failure, cystic fibrosis,diabetes, epilepsy and several other conditions.
Glutamine
Glutamine is a well known athletic recovery strategy used by elite athletes. XS is the only energy drink with one gram of Glutamine per can. This special amino acid is used by some physicians in patients with sever trauma like burns. It also helps prevent immune problems and gut problems in athletes under sever training schedules. Busy, hard working men and women find that the same strategies used by extreme athletes also fits their recovery needs from busy, non stop schedules of car pools and business meetings.
Glutamine is an essential amino acid that helps during periods of stress, enhances intestinal absorption of nutrients, maintains immune response & may enhance exercise performance.
