Artificial Sweeteners
Non-caloric, non-cariogenic (does not promote tooth decay) non-nutritive sweetener that delivers powerful, great-tasting sweetness (approximately 200 times as sweet as sucrose). Preferred because its sweet taste is perceived quickly, does not linger, and does not persist longer than the taste of the product. It provides excellent sugar-like taste.

The Mayo Clinic and the American Diabetes Association approve the use of Ace-K for diabetics. They like this artificial sweetener because it is calorie-free and no studies have proved negative effects on diabetes.

Adaptogenic Herbs
Adaptogenic herbs aid the body in managing stress. When your body stresses it pumps cortisol. Cortisol in the blood stream sends a message to your body that you need foods high in fat and sugar, also known as ‘comfort foods.’ Studies show that adaptogenic herbs suppress the production of cortisol and decrease the cravings some people have for comfort foods. Also, athletes will find that the speed of their recovery times increases after workouts using adaptogenic herbs, such as the blend found in XS Energy Drinks. The blend of herbs in XS Energy Drinks is very similar to the blend used by Russian Olympic Athletes to overcome stress from their workouts and radically reduce recovery times.
American Ginseng (Pana.x quinquefolium ), Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), & Korean/Asian Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) are probably the most potent adaptogens known. All 3 are related, but each has unique properties that improve concentration, mental sharpness, physical stamina, work capacity & immune function. (Only XS has all 3)
