Frequently Asked Questions About Revvida
What sets Revvida apart from other energy drinks?
Virtually all energy drinks contain caffeine and sugar for a quick boost
in energy, and Revvida is no exception. Revvida goes a step beyond this
by providing ingredients that support cellular energy production and
maintenance – a complete and potent B vitamin complex, D-ribose, alpha
lipoic acid, lecithin, calcium pyruvate, magnesium and trace minerals.
It also provides Rhodiola Rosea, an adaptogenic herb that helps counter
effects of stress as well as increasing energy, endurance and mental
focus. Virtually all other energy drinks give a quick boost which lasts
for no more than 1 ½ to 2 hours, then they let you down just as quickly.
Revvida also gives the quick energy boost, but its cellular energy
support ingredients mean the boost lasts for many hours, and it lets you
back down slow and easy.
Most energy drinks come as a liquid in a can. Why is Revvida packaged
as a powder in a packet?
It has been shown that vitamins and other important nutrients
deteriorate in a liquid medium. After about 90 days, these nutrients
have lost most or all of their potency. The other drinks are not
affected by this, since they contain very little of the nutrients that
support energy at the cellular level. Revvida, on the other hand, is
loaded with these nutrients. Packaging it as a dry powder you mix in
water or juice means that you get full potency.
How much caffeine is in Revvida?
Each serving of Revvida supplies 100 mg of straight caffeine, plus
another 25 mg of caffeine in guarana. There is a slower and more
prolonged release of caffeine from guarana. By way of comparison, an 8
oz cup of brewed coffee has about 120 to 135 mg of caffeine, while an 8
oz cup of drip coffee has 150 to 175 mg of caffeine. A cup of brewed tea
has 40 to 60 mg of caffeine, while soft drinks have 35 to 55 mg per 12
oz serving.
How much sugar is in Revvida?
There are 12 gm of sugar in each serving of Revvida. Most of the other
energy drinks have 25 to 40 gm per serving. Regular soft drinks have
about 40 gm of sugar per 12 oz serving. Sugar is included in Revvida
because it helps get other nutrients (particularly minerals and
electrolytes) into cells more efficiently. The relatively low amount of
sugar in Revvida gives it a somewhat tart flavor. If you prefer less
tartness, try adding additional sweetener of your choosing.
Isn’t caffeine bad for you?
Caffeine is the most widely consumed herbal compound in the world. When
taken regularly in large amounts by itself, caffeine can definitely
increase stress and strain on you body. In Revvida there are other
ingredients that counter these effects, notably the adaptogen Rhodiola
Rosea, which helps counter effects of stress. That is why we say Revvida
provides balanced energy support.
Can you become dependent on Revvida, as sometimes happens with the
caffeine in coffee?
At the amount that most people would consume (1 packet of Revvida per
day), this would be very unlikely. Even with 2 or 3 packets of Revvida,
this would be unlikely. People who become on caffeine from drinking
coffee are typically consuming 6 or more cups per day. Plus, they are
not getting the nutrients contained in Revvida that tend to balance the
negative effects that can be associated with large amounts of caffeine.
Does Revvida contain any ingredients that are restricted in
competitive sports?
Both the NCAA and the IOC (International Olympic Committee) have limits
on the amount of caffeine allowed for competition, but these limits are
quite high. An average-sized person would have to consume 7 or 8
servings of Revvida all at once to even approach these levels. None of
the other ingredients in Revvida are restricted by the governing bodies
for sports.
Why does my urine change color when I drink Revvida?
There is a “saturating” amount of B vitamins in Revvida to ensure that
full impact from them is achieved. That means that any unused amounts of
these water-soluble vitamins spill over into the urine. One of the B
vitamins in particular, vitamin B2, causes a bright yellow (with slight
greenish tint) coloration of urine.
How much Revvida can I take in a day?
The majority of people find that 1 serving per day is sufficient. The
energy boost lasts at least 4 to 6 hours for most people. Some like to
take another serving early in the afternoon. It is actually OK to have 2
servings at once – remember, this delivers about the same caffeine as 2
cups of coffee. We don’t recommend more than 3 servings in a day, and
most people wouldn’t want or need any more than this.
Can children take Revvida?
Revvida contains a lot of healthy nutrients that are good for all
people, young and old. The issue regarding children would hinge on
whether or not they should be getting caffeine. Remember, many children
are regularly consuming significant amounts of caffeine in soft drinks.
Younger children don’t really need extra energy (just ask their
parents!). Children in the 10 to 15 year age group are often getting
fairly seriously involved in sports, and Revvida might help their
performance. There should be no problem at all for ages 15 and over,
which are essentially young adults.
Who should not take Revvida?
Anyone with chronic health issues should consult with their health
professional before taking any nutritional supplement, including
Revvida. People with a history of arrhythmias and other cardiovascular
conditions should especially heed this advice. That being said, anyone
who can drink coffee should have no problem with Revvida.
Does heat exposure affect Revvida?
Excess heat, as occurs inside sealed cars in sunlight (particularly
during summer), can be very bad for any nutritional supplement. This can
reduce potency of key ingredients. In the case of Revvida, it can cause
a clumping of the powder. This is not due to moisture, as the packets
are quite impervious to it. It is due to a congealing effect on some of
the ingredients, notably the D-ribose. If this should happen to any of
you packs, just break up the clumps with you fingers. The impact of the
Revvida should not be diminished unless there has been prolonged
exposure to excessive heat. If you are in you car in hot weather, it is
better to leave Revvida (and other supplements) in the trunk, where
temperatures don’t get as high.
What can Revvida be mixed with?
Revvida is designed to be mixed with cold, pure water. It is best to use
about 8 ounces. You will need to stir it some to get full dissolution of
the powder. Alternatively, it can be mixed with juices. Lemonade is
particularly good. Some people like to mix Revvida with Nectavida for a
particularly energizing and healthful drink. Use about 12 ounces of
water or juice for this. For the ultimate healthy boost, try “Rocket
Fuel” – 1 packet of Revvida, 1 packet of Nectavida, 1 scoop of
AmeriShake, 4 ounces of chilled pure water, 4 ounces of chilled rice
milk and frozen fruits and/or berries of your choice, all mixed in a
blender. Get ready for some amazing energy with this one!
Most energy drinks contain taurine. Why isn’t this in Revvida?
Taurine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that the body can produce
it from other sources. Some people feel it is more accurately termed a
conditionally essential amina acid, since body stores can be diminished
with extreme exertion. However, this is really extreme exertion, as in
the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon, which the vast majority of people don’t
ever come close to. There are some well-designed scientific studies that
have shown that energy drinks containing tuarine (and glucuronolactone)
provide energy effects only from the caffeine and sugar they contain;
the taurine (and glucuronolactone) do not actually contribute to the
energy effect. The bottom line is that taurine doesn’t support cellular
energy production or counter stress, which many of the ingredients in
Revvida do. Some claims are made that taurine improves mental focus, but
there are not good scientific studies supporting this. There are good
scientific studies supporting the beneficial effects of lecithin on
mental focus and short-term memory, which is why this ingredient in
included in Revvida.
