Abstract
An energy-promoting composition includes an exogenous ketone body component that provides a source of caloric energy, a vasodilator component, a stimulant component, such as caffeine, and optionally a nootropic component. In most if not all cases, the vasodilator, stimulant, and nootropic components do not themselves provide a source of caloric energy but may increase metabolism of available caloric energy. The separate components beneficially and synergistically interact with one another to enhance the overall energy-promoting effect of the composition more rapidly and to a greater degree than if one or more of the components are omitted. The energy-promoting composition is also formulated to minimize the crash effect common to stimulants such as energy drinks.
Claims20
An energy-promoting composition, comprising:
- an exogenous ketone body component that provides a source of caloric energy;
- a vasodilator component;
- and
- a stimulant component that increases alertness, provides no source of caloric energy, and optionally increases metabolism of available caloric energy.
An energy-promoting composition, comprising:
- water;
- a caloric energy source comprising an exogenous ketone body component selected from beta-hydroxybutyric acid, beta-hydroxybutyrate salt, or beta-hydroxybutyrate ester;
- a vasodilator component comprising at least one of niacin, theanine, a catechin, or an epicatechin;
- and
- a stimulant component that increases alertness, provides no source of caloric energy, and optionally increases metabolism of available caloric energy.
An energy-promoting composition, comprising:
- one or more exogenous ketone body components that provide caloric energy;
- a vasodilator component selected from the group consisting of quercetin, L-citrulline, L-citrulline salts, L-arginine, L-arginine salts, agmatine, agmatine salts, nitrates, gallic acid, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), trimethylglycine, niacin, theanine, theobromine, garlic, magnesium, grape seed extract, green tea extract, catechins, epicatechins, cacao, proanthocyanidins, galloylated proanthocyanidins, L-norvaline, beta-alanine, glutathione, taurine, and combinations thereof;
- a stimulant component that increases alertness, optionally increases metabolism of available caloric energy, and is selected from the group consisting of caffeine, theacrine, theophylline, and methylliberine;
- and
- a nootropic component different than the stimulant component selected from the group consisting of Mucuna pruriens, tyrosine, L-DOPA (i.e., L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), huperzine-A, dimethylaminoethanol, phenyl-alanine, phenylethylamine, choline, alpha-glycerophosphocholine, uridine, citicoline, tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), D-serine, phosphatidylserine, Panax ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, Rhodiola rosea, Polygala tenuifolia, Muira puama, Huperzia serrata, Eschscholzia californica, Convolvulus pluricaulis, Centella asiatica, Evolvulus alsinoides, Bacopa monnieri, Epimedium herbs, Ashwagandha herbs, forskolin, vinpocetine, and combinations thereof.
