Review: B Record Plus: a new energy drink for (not just) mums!
>> Tuesday, 14 June 2011
about a week ago, I saw a post on the british mummy blogging network by Karin from @cafebebe asking for people who might be interested in a new energy drink/food supplement that came onto the UK market on the 8th June this year
I turned vegan almost a year ago now after reading the book Skinny Bitch, as someone who suffers from major food phobias, this was a real eye opener & I'm so grateful I found it!
but the one thing the book did turn me against as well as meat/dairy was caffeine, I had been a heavy diet coke/coffee drinker for years and heavily relied on it to keep me going throughout the day & to keep pace with the kids! but since giving it up, i've never had that feeling of "added" energy!
I've felt amazing for giving up the "junk" tho and my headaches have become more tolerable, I noticed I was sleeping so much better too, but without my boost of caffeine every day I felt like something was missing. I looked at lots of the "energy" drinks on the market, but all of them contained some crazy ingredients or lots of sugar & I wasn't about to start drinking them, another thing was that they would give me HUGE energy spikes & rushes that would make me feel even worse once they'd worn off, so I didn't drink anything..
but seeing this new drink advertised on the BMB network, I read the ingredients, re-read the ingredients and was impressed to see that none of the nasty ingredients that the other energy drinks contained were present! an added bonus to the drinks were the added vitamin B12. as a vegan, getting enough B12 into your diet can be tricky (especially if your not always very good at eating all the right GOOD foods!!!) so was thinking YAY! an easier
here is the jargon from the company about the drinks/supplements:
B
Record Plus is a liquid food supplement that’s been developed by international
pharmaceutical company sigma-tau to provide sustained intellectual and physical
energy for run down people.

has been developed using established data; has a sustained effect (unlike other
temporary boost energy drinks), has no caffeine and is made from naturally
occurring substances including:
·
Vitamin B12
·
Four amino
acids - L-Glutamine, L-Serine, L-Theorine and L-Arginine
·
L-Carnitine
B
Record Plus reaches its full potential within 2-3 days and it’s recommended
that you take it for ten days, though you can take it for as long as you like.
It’s
recommended for people who need an extra energy boost and is ideal for:

having a Red Bull or a latte a day!
How
B Record Plus works
B Record Plus
aids your body’s metabolism. Metabolism is a set of chemical reactions that
occur in our cells needed to maintain life.
Metabolic
processes are important for the release and storage of energy and for the
reproduction and repair of cells.
The rate of
recovery and the ability of a body to repair itself is related to the speed and
efficiency of the body’s metabolic processes. For metabolic processes to be at
the best, a body needs the right amount of micronutrients.
B Record Plus
is a specific balance of micronutrients developed using more than 60 years of
knowledge of how the body works and what affects it.
Metabolic
processes can be slowed down by not having enough micronutrients by the
following factors:
·
Reduced
intake of nutrients due to poor diet
·
Ageing
– which reduces the efficiency of your metabolism and the absorbtion of
micronutrients
·
Disease
– which results in oxidative stress caused by the body’s response to disease
conditions
·
Increased
demand due to periods of high energy need, i.e. exercise, convalescence and
periods of stress
As a result
our bodies during these periods crave more micronutrients than they can get
through a normal balanced diet. B Record Plus helps to top them up.

each ingredient in each bottle of B Record Plus helps to give you sustainable
energy.
