It’s what’s on the inside that counts. That’s why every ingredient used in our unique Ubershot recipe has been carefully chosen for a specific purpose. Together, the high-quality functional ingredients provide you with hours of energy and concentration. See the main benefits of each, below.
Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Helps produce energy from foods we eat and keeps both the nervous and digestive system healthy. Read more Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin that participates in more than 50 metabolic functions, all of which are important in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Niacin is vital in supplying energy to, and maintaining the integrity of, all body cells. It facilitates the body's ability to eliminate toxins, assists in antioxidant and detoxification functions, helps stabilise blood sugar, relieves acne, migraines, vertigo, forgetfulness and high blood pressure.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
Works in the human body to release energy from the food we eat, manufacture antibodies and produce vitamin D. Read more Pantothenic Acid is an antioxidant water-soluble vitamin, known as vitamin B5. It is essential for human growth, helps metabolise nutrients and is vital in the synthesis of Coenzyme A. Without it, fats could not be metabolised into energy. Pantothenic Acid aids production of cholesterol and hormones and is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells. It also stimulates the healing of wounds. Deficiency symptoms include fatigue, depression and heart problems.
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)
Crucial for proper brain function and plays an essential role in human growth, in particular cell division and DNA synthesis. Read more Creates healthy red blood cells together with Vitamin B12 and helps release energy from proteins. Folic Acid is also known as the water soluble Vitamin B9. Folic acid is involved in every bodily function that requires cell division. Because it lowers the levels of homocysteine, Folic Acid has been said to reduce risk of heart diseases. Medical use includes supplementation during pregnancy and against depression, heart disease and cancer.
Vitamin B6
Supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin and helps the body to use and store energy from foods. Read more Also aids red blood cell formation. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble B-vitamin, which acts as a coenzyme in the breakdown and utilisation of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is mainly required for the metabolisation of amino acids in the intestines, but also for the development of histamine, serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline. It helps maintain immune system functions, protects the heart from cholesterol deposits and prevents kidney stone formation.
Vitamin B12
Known to enhance energy and vitality. Main function is the formation of red blood cells and maintenance of a healthy nervous system. Read more Also releases energy from foods we eat. Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin that participates in a variety of cellular reactions to release energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve cell activity and maintenance. It is essential in the production of red blood cells and is required in the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. Deficiency symptoms include fatigue, weakness and nausea.
Taurine
Helps absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Plays a role in the brain and nervous system, heart functions and digestion. Read more Taurine is a naturally occurring substance present in meat, fish and dairy products. It is sometimes referred to as an amino acid. Adults can produce Taurine naturally from cysteine with the help of Vitamin B6. And hold high concentrations of Taurine in white blood cells, skeletal muscles, the heart and central nervous system. It is used to process potassium, calcium and sodium in the body, as well as maintain the integrity of cell membranes.
Glucuronolactone
Improves memory retention and concentration, fights fatigue and provides a sense of well-being. Read more Glucuronolactone is a natural metabolite found in the human body. It is produced by the metabolisation of glucose in the liver, and has been clinically shown to reduce sleepiness and sleep-related traffic accidents. It is widely known to improve mental performance, reaction time, concentration and memory. Small amounts occur naturally, for example in wine.
Caffeine
Increases cognitive function, memory and reasoning, alertness and muscle endurance. Read more Caffeine also facilitates the rapid absorption of nutrients, including B-vitamins. In humans, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, having the effect of temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Caffeine is an ergogenic and research has shown that consumption increases mental and physical capacity. Ubershot contains caffeine equivalent to medium-size cup of freshly brewed premium high street coffee. See comparison table for more details.
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (amino acid)
Effective in fighting stress and fatigue during prolonged work periods and sleep deprivation. Read more N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is converted by the human body into L-Tyrosine. Tyrosine is an amino acid (protein building block), which is important to the structure of almost all proteins in the body. It also transmits nerve impulses to the brain, elevates mood, improves memory and increases mental alertness. Tyrosine is reported to have an antioxidant effect, which may protect humans from cancer development, Tyrosine is found in many high protein foods such as meat, dairy, fish and grains.
Malic Acid
Improves mental clarity and helps convert carbohydrates into energy. Naturally occurring substance. Read more Your body requires it on a daily basis. Malic Acid is a biochemical product. Malic Acid plays a vital role in improving overall muscle performance, reversing muscle fatigue following exercise, reducing tiredness and poor energy levels, as well as improving mental performance. It helps remove high levels of phosphorous and aluminium from the body. The main food source of Malic Acid are fruits, especially apples.
L-Carnitine (amino acid)
Increases energy for long-term aerobic activity, improves fat-burning and energy supply in the heart muscles. Read more L-Carnitine is an amino acid in the natural L form which is the most effective form of Carnitine. It metabolises food into energy. L-Carnitine aids in the release of stored body fat, into the bloodstream for energy. It transfers long-chain fatty acids, such as triglycerides into mitochondria (cellular power plants), where they may be oxidised to produce energy. It is naturally found in avocados, dairy products and red meats.
Other
The fresh taste is derived from natural flavours. Read more Contains small amounts of preservatives to protect the freshness of the product. Sweetened with Sucralose, the safest calorie free sweetener currently available on the market (especially compared to the controversial Aspartame and Acesulfame K).
