Get up and keep going with tangerine-flavored Function: Alternative Energy, the first time-release formula for long-lasting energy. The all-natural combo of Catuaba, Muira puama, Epimedium, and Yerba Mate can support your body's stamina for up to six to eight hours. Alternative Energy employs the concept of pharmacokinetics–simply put, the rate at which an ingredient is absorbed into and distributed throughout the body. This formula uses four different classes of stimulants that kick in at different rates for a smooth, consistent energy and mood boost without a hard crash.*
Are you as tired as we are of all those artificial, toxic-tasting energy drinks? Or are you just plain tired? The docs at Function worked around the clock to develop a 100% natural energy formula that can keep you going all day and all night long. They've assembled an all-star team of rare rain forest imports (now grown at home), including Catuaba, Muira puama, Guarana, and Yerba Mate, which release energy at a smooth and consistent rate over a period of time for a predictable, reliable energy.*

An orthopedic surgeon, a film producer, and a corporate strategist walk into a bar...wait, no, they start a beverage company...what happens? A revolution, that's what. In 2004, Dr. Alex Hughes, Josh Simon, and Dayton Miller embarked on a mission: to improve the lives of their friends and family. Although the goal was simple, the results of their venture would forever change the beverage industry.
In medical school, Dr. Alex realized that many of the powerful, all-natural ingredients he used to treat patients were available to the public, yet not widely known about or utilized. This observation sparked an idea: what if he could use these potent ingredients in the form of innovative beverages, making their health benefits accessible to everyone? Consumers were still relying on centuries old vitamin-based ingredients to improve their health and it was time to give them products with real results.
 While conducting the initial research in a laboratory built in his kitchen, there were many spills and explosions, but also plenty of breakthroughs. Dr. Alex's experiments were revolutionary--bringing technology, ingredients, and functionality never before seen to the beverage industry. With long-time friends Josh and Dayton, Function Drinks launched in southern California in mid-2005. Instantly, the company gained a strong consumer following, including many celebrity fans like singer Fergie of the Black-Eyed Peas and NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal.
Today, the function line-up--sold worldwide--consists of ten powerful beverages delivering eight relevant functionalities with concrete and proven results. And thankfully for Dr. Alex's neighbors, the beverages are now developed with a team of food scientists in sophisticated beverage laboratories. |

 With a technical and sophisticated look, Function is drawing more attention than ever on the shelves. Unified under the banner of concrete science, each drink touts its own unique and powerful functionality. The presence of the "created by physicians" seal, displayed on the front of all Function drinks, is serious business. It's one of the many things that sets them apart from the other so-called functional drinks on the market.
The presence of their seal means a commitment to:
- Producing products that reflect the latest understanding of health, science, and physiology
- Constantly evaluating and updating products to reflect health innovations or breakthroughs
- Developing products founded in mainstream, proven clinical science
- Creating products with the highest quality natural ingredients used by doctors everyday

Pharmacokinetics is the rate at which a functional dietary ingredient is absorbed into the body from the gastrointestinal tract, distributed, metabolized to inactive metabolites, and eliminated from the body. The longer this process from ingestion to inactivity takes, the longer the 'half life' of a given functional ingredient–'half life' being the length of time until only 50% of a given functional ingredient is active within the body. Functional ingredients with short half-lives have a rapid onset of action but are eliminated quickly. Functional ingredients with long half-lives generally take more time to achieve effect, but last longer.* Function: Alternative Energy's proprietary formula contains a system with four broad functional classes:
(1) Tropane alkaloids, or plant-derived amine molecules (Catuabine A, B, and C)
(2) Xanthine alkaloids (natural caffeine, Mateine, Guranine)
(3) Betaine alkaloids (muirapuamine)
(4) Chromanone (molecule that contains a 5-carbon, 1-oxygen ring attached to a benzene ring) Icarin (Epimedium)
For average metabolisms, the tropane alkaloids generally take effect within five minutes and last about 20 minutes. At that time, caffeine is taking effect and lasts about 90 minutes. Muira Puama then extends the stimulant effect to about 4-5 hours. Epimedium provides a lift for the final time period, giving you up to 6-8 hours of energy. These values are variable and based on individual metabolisms and one's prior experience with stimulants, but the sequence of effect is the same in everyone.*
Alternative Energy also contains a full complement of the B Complex vitamins, zinc, and vitamin C; all of which play a role in energy source mobilization within the body. Alternative Energy is a healthy, all-natural, time-release formula.* |
