Dragging and drooping? Sluggish and exhausted? Too tired to do your "to-do"
list? Need an extra surge of energy? Reach for Herbal Voltage first thing
in the morning, for an all-important mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or that
late-night charge when you simply have to stay awake and alert. An alternative
to the caffeine found in today's popular caffeinated beverages, Herbal
Voltage's natural caffeine source provides the same bang. Additional natural
ingredients increase mental function, strengthen memory, and help you
feel like you can conquer the world--or at least your small corner of
it.*
You don't have to be a teenager to have the energy of a teenager, and
you don't have to be a rocket scientist to think like a rocket scientist.
In fact, experiencing higher levels of energy, increased concentration,
and better memory may be much simpler than you've ever thought possible.
Invigorate and revive yourself with Herbal Voltage™, a highly caffeinated
product that contains the legendary guarana berry, grown and harvested
in Brazil. For centuries the Amazon Indians have used guarana, a natural
source of caffeine, whenever they needed an extra energy boost.*
An effective alternative to other sources of caffeine found in soda, coffee,
or cappuccino, Herbal Voltage also contains additional herbs and ingredients
for a unique formula that energizes both body and mind. Ginkgo biloba,
choline, niacin, and L-tyrosine work synergistically with guarana to provide
a burst of energy whenever you need it. This zippy formula also stimulates
your brain, helping you think better, remember more, and perform at your
peak.*
Of course, we all recognize the benefits of energizing our minds and bodies.
Every aspect of our lives improves when we have energy, and our mental
health plays a key role in the way we look, feel, and act. Our mental
function, acuity, and ability determine how we face each day, each opportunity,
each decision.
Nature provides nutrients that can play an important role in higher levels
of energy and improved mental function and memory. Unicity™ has included
those ingredients in this revitalizing dietary supplement targeted to
give you added energy and help you feel smarter and sharper.*
Herbal Voltage delivers that crucial extra surge of energy--morning, afternoon,
or night. Drink it hot (with a twist of lemon) or cold (even ice-blended
with a twist of lime), all in one sitting, or throughout the day for sustained
levels of energy. The possibilities are exciting, and so is the way you'll
feel.*
Research Brief
A neurotransmitter is a brain chemical that enables communication to
happen between neurons, or brain cells. When we want to perform an action,
an electrical impulse is sparked in our brain. The impulse travels from
one brain cell to another , much like electricity travels through electrical
wires, in order to complete the communication.
However, unlike with, neurons are not connected to each other. Instead,
there is a small gap between them, and the impulses are unable to travel
seamlessly from neuron to neuron. Instead, those electrical impulses are
changed into neurotransmitters at every gap. The neurotransmitters then
jump the small space in order to complete communications.
Different neurotransmitters are shaped differently, like jigsaw puzzle
pieces. Each neuron has an array of different-sized receptors. Once a
neurotransmitter jumps the gap, it finds the corresponding receptor in
the neuron, and the communication continues uninterrupted.
Neurotransmitters are involved in helping the body perform a huge array
of mental functions, mechanical movement and work, muscle contractions,
and even relaxation.
Of the approximately 100 neurotransmitters that have been identified,
six are involved in most mental activities. These neurotransmitters are
key to efficient and effective mental functioning and efficiency. Ensuring
that neurotransmitter communication works become essential to all sorts
of mental functions, not to mention physical movement as well.
