A Perfect Launch!
“Blast Off”, from VRP, an extremely high quality formulator of natural supplements, really does give you the perfect energy boost. At least in my experience, this is one product that never lets you down (nor does it ever give you too much of a boost – it’s never made me jittery, wired, or left me crashing off a cliff as it wears off).
Yes, it does have caffeine. So if you are a true purist, or just can’t tolerate any caffeine, this may not be your perfect launch. But the amount of caffeine is way less than a cup of coffee’s worth, and it’s the formula, the synergistic affect of all the ingredients working together that is the big deal here. Because of the formula, what else is working besides the caffeine, I don’t really feel the caffeine. I just feel a remarkably smooth boost of energy, mood, and ability to get my work done.
I often say that the same thing isn’t going to work for everyone, it usually doesn’t work for the same person all of the time. Different people have different needs, and each one of us has different needs at different times. So I can never say “This will work for you,” with absolute certainty. Still, for me, “Blast Off” is one of very few products that does seem to work consistently, every time I use it.
The other ingredients include yerba mate, an alkalizing herb that is used as a popular tea in South America (and more and more so in N. America). Yerba mate has an impressive list of health benefits, and is another smooth but potent energizer.
Next in this ingenious formula is a group of amino acids – tyrosine, phenylalinine, and pyroglutamic acid. Amino acids, you probably know, are the building blocks of protein. Some of them are also very important in the building of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Tyrosine is said to enhance alertness and wakefulness, a couple of my favorite things (especially when I can hardly keep my eyes open after a way to short night of sleep).
Pyroglutamic acid – that sounds like rocket fuel, doesn’t it – is said to be good for circulation. And l-phenylalanine, along with the Tyrosine, supports a healthy ‘response to stress’.
I think balancing the caffeine and yerba mate with the amino acids is what makes it such a smooth boost of energy. It’s doing more than just jangling your nerves, it’s actually supporting your brain and stress levels in healthy ways. At least that’s my theory.
The bottom line is this is a very nice, health supporting product that, for me anyway, gives an almost perfect energy boost without negative side effects.
