Monster's Energy Source
There is a very good reason that the manufacturers of Monster Energy Drink call it that. With a lot of sugar and caffeine, it will certainly boost your energy. Users experience a "buzz" that is probably the equivalent to about 2-3 cups of coffee per can.http://www.kaufroboter.de/atino_crm/seitenauswahl_id/183/angebote_id/492581.html
There are trace amounts of ginseng, and a few ingredients known to provide natural energy.http://www.alive.com/1155a3a2.php?subject_bread_cramb=536 However, Monster largely relies on a high dosage of sugar and caffeine to boost the user's energy level.
In the near term, this can prove a godsend for a tired individual. But in the long run, there is a "crash" period as the "energy" wears off. The buzz kicks in within 15-20 minutes It contains 7 times more caffeine than other famous energy drinks.http://www.kaufroboter.de/atino_crm/seitenauswahl_id/183/angebote_id/492581.html
