If Redbull gives you wings, what does this give you?
 

Picked this up from Amazon. I've got 4-day old lemon and orange oleo saccharum ready to go into the mix, too. Right now the plan is to boil a pot of water with the lemon and orange peels, along with the oleo saccharum, mixing in the sugar, taurine and caffeine to completely dissolve. But I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to use for my main liquid... I'm assuming it needs more than just water.

Thoughts?

ur an idiot

l-taurine is my favorite amino acid!

I posted this to my Facebook profile, and I got called an idiot about 10 times.

Can you elaborate on why I'm an idiot for making my own energy drink?

diarrhea ?

Beta-alanine.
Thank me later.

Enema recipe?

April Fools kidney punch? How much did your powder cost? :winkwink:

on a serious note, get your energy from the most powerful source of energy available to you- food. i'm talking real, lasting, effective energy without the crash.

your body is designed to get maximum energy from what your diet. not from supplements.

$15.99 for the caffeine, $11.39 for the l-taurine from Amazon.

The Eclectic Institute Ginkgo Biloba 1 oz was $12 from Whole Foods.

:thumbsup

You're going go need access to a lot of cats. Must be enough caffeine there for thousands of liters of piss.

Frequent trips to the toilet

what kind of energy boost are you looking for?... i dont think this is a good idea.. for a good energy drink try Xtend.. i dunno if you're getting your own recipe cause its cost effective for you, but try any amino-mix, pre-workout and you'll be fine, no need to mix homebrew stuff, unless you're experimenting etc

just my opinion

Validation for free parking?

I was thinking "what about making my own RedBull?" so I did a search on YouTube and came up with this:



You know RedBull is comprised of less than .10 worth of ingredients. The lemon and orange peels bump up the cost of my own creation, and the cost of 32 oz of pear juice is $5 so it's slightly less than RedBull overall... but should also be much tastier!

Anyway we'll see how it turns out.

How are you going to make it fizzy?

It sounds vile BTW....

I'm still wondering myself.,,

wow..i would like to try this :thumbsup

Sodium bicarbonate.

These things need serious studying.

That only lasts a few seconds...

You're mad as a box of frogs! :1orglaugh

Caffeine pill + bcaas for sustained energy. Also, will heating the taurine damage the amino? I know when you heat up protein you can damage/denature the protein. Is this the same for aminos since they are basically just building blocks of protein?

You can blow fire from mouth and fly i guess?

Shit, I didn't know they still made those things...

Quite difficult to find anywhere with the gas bottles now.

Bcaas are great. True.

Guarana powder is even better than pure caffeine. Or Red Bull for that matter.
My buddy always used to drink a Red Bull before his workout. But now he's hooked on my gaurana. I got it in Brazil.

hemroids?

yay, diarrhea

Why not just use ephedra or germanium and call it a day?

Give this a shot too, I used to use it back in my college days to help me focus for studying or before a test. Works great - http://www.seriousnutritionsolutions...e/Focus-XT.php

wow cool , let us know what u decide and how did it came up :)

I always wanted to try to make home made rootbeer ..

A boner for 48 hours!!

Good question regarding the boiling process. I honestly don't know. I can tell you however that I feel pretty calm after taking 1000mg taurine, with approximately 100mg caffiene and 15 drops of ginkgo biloba. That would suggest the taurine is working.

Sweating slightly... but aside from that I have no jitters...

700ml base, 150g sugar, 10,000mg taurine, 1,000mg caffeine, 150 drops ginkgo biloba, orange and lemon peels

So... just as an FYI... wear a mask when you seal the caffeine bag. I puffed a cloud of powder into the air when I tried to get the air out of the bag, and inadvertently ended up inhaling some of it despite holding my breath to avoid it and moving away from the cloud to breath...

I feel kinda weird right now. It's similar to how you feel after doing a line of coke.

How does it taste?

dude already got high on a caffeine powder and was preparing to taste some nasty custom energy drink... i think he could be dead by now... is it time to call 911 for him?

A massive heart attack!

Why people depend on artificial energy is beyond me. I agree with dyna mo, eating clean is the best form of energy. Eat, train, sleep and you'll be fine. The only caffeine I get is my small cup of green tea every morning with honey (or agave nectar). I wake up at 5am, go to bed at midnight, and have enough energy to train MMA for 3 hours a night and 1 hour of strength training/cardio in the morning - 6 days a week.

There's these things called dependency and crashing. Once you quit putting that shit into your body, which can't be healthy, then you're going to crash and your body won't know how to synthesize/utilize what it needs for natural energy; carbs, fats, etc.

Eat clean, train hard, live long. :thumbsup

No I'm fine. Just wanted people to know that if you respirate this shit it can affect you.

Redbull gives you wings but especially diarrhea!

You're thinking coffee.

This is my experience with RedBull

If people abusing these types of drink aren't on blood pressure medication now,
they damn soon will be :2 cents:



.

where do you guys see a problem? the guy spent $30 and will be able to make 1000s of redbull-like drinks from it....
