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. |

Function: Vacation is the physician-developed, all-natural mind and body relaxation formula founded in mainstream clinical science. Vacation supports restful alertness, concentration, anxiety reduction, and positive mood without drowsiness. It employs a proprietary functional platform of green tea l-theanine, griffonia plant-derived 5-HTP, magnesium, and zinc in a theme-appropriate pacific coconut flavor. Support your mind, body, and mood everyday–without getting on an airplane.*
Green tea-derived L-Theanine has a track record of naturally supporting your body's ability to cope with both mental and physical signs of anxiety as well as supporting normal task concentration, learning, and memory. Researchers have recently demonstrated improvement of both the BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory) and VAMS (Visual Analog Mood Scale) in randomized trials comparing l-theanine to placebo. These are scientifically proven studies in which participants answer specific questions that relate to mood, anxiety, cognitive function, etc. and visually identify with pictures that represent their mood. Not only did l-theanine improve mental markers for anxiety, but the unpleasant physical side effects of stress and anxiety (e.g. increased heart rate, excessive sweating, etc.) were also reduced.*
Several studies have also linked l-theanine with improved alpha wave brain activity in studies where participants were faced with stressful complex mathematical calculations. Alpha wave activity is the background brain electrical activity associated with natural calm and relaxed, focused task concentration. The dual mind and body mechanism of l-theanine (derived from green tea) involves interaction between this green tea catechin and l-glutamic acid and its receptors in the brain. Stress and anxiety have been linked to excessive l-glutamic acid production. therefore, l-theanine plays a powerful role in supporting the body's ability to reduce anxiety and de-stress.*
The Griffonia plant derived 5-HTP is an all-natural serotonin precursor that supports the brain's ability to replenish its natural healthy stores of serotonin as needed. Researchers have studied 5-HTP for over 20 years. Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter whose regulation and adequate production is a critical component of the body's natural maintenance of mood, weight control, and sleep patterns. Studies have shown that 5-HTP has a clear role in supporting numerous natural physiologic systems in this regard.*
Researchers have also demonstrated a relationship between magnesium and mood. Adequate but not excessive daily intake of zinc has also been linked to supporting the body's natural mental health and alertness. Vacation supports your body's natural restful alertness and concentration as well as your natural ability to reduce anxiety and improve mood.* |
