Vitamin B12 = Ultimate Wingman! For this week's book excerpt, we talk about what vitamin B12 does. ✔Folate's Wingman: Cells that rely on folate for growth and maturation also depend on B12 because it recycles Foley, restoring it for DNA synthesis. Without B12, folate gets used up and stuck with a single carbon group. That's like trying to take a cup of coffee from someone when you're already holding a cup of water in each hand. To make sure sells get enough DNA to mature and divide, B12 and folate have to work as a team. ✔BORING BASIC BIOTIN's Wingman: one molecule of fat has 3 fatty acids, like a 3 pronged fork. Each fatty acid is a chain of carbons. Each chain gets oxidized (broken down) 2 carbons at a time. This becomes a problem when there's only 3 left, so a special reaction takes place for the last three in the chain. B12 helps Boring Basic Biotin handle these odd numbered units so they can get metabolized into energy through the Krebs cycle. [Krebs cycle = giant wheel of reactions that leads to massive amount of energy per turn] Stay tuned for more book excerpts from my book about energy drinks and their ingredients: "Are You a Monster or a Rock Star: A Guide to Energy Drinks - How They Work, Why They Work, How To Use Them Safely", available on Amazon and Audible and wherever books are sold. 🤓💚🔬⚡☕🎧📚📖📕👐 #bookexcerpt #author #foodscientist #biochemist #sciencenerd #energydrink #energydrinkingredients #energydrinks #b12 #vitaminsinenergydrinks #vitaminb12 #readthebook #readme #reading #readingrainbow #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram (at Pewaukee, Wisconsin)

Ever seen a drink or bar with TREHALOSE? It's made of glucose but the glucose molecules are linked differently than how they are linked in starch. It's because of this link that trehalose gives you the yummy part of sugar without the spikes in blood sugar or the controversies of artificial sweeteners. I've reviewed one energy drink with trehalose thus far but I'm surprised more companies don't use it. LET ME KNOW if you find anything with trehalose.

Did you know less caffeine is absorbed from gum or a capsule than from a drink? So if you chew gum with 100mg caffeine, you're only getting 77mg. With an energy strip, you're consuming the whole thing, not spitting it out, so you'd absorb almost all the caffeine. Today my #energydrinkoftheday is actually an energy strip from @eliteopsenergy. (100mg caffeine per strip) 🤓💚🔬You can follow my daily caffeine picks and all my Science Behind Energy Drink Ingredients posts at Facebook.com/EnergyDrinkGuide and on Instagram. #energydrinkindisguise #energy #caffeine #morningworkout #dyk #fyi #tipsfortuesday #sciencenerd #nerdswholift #biochemistry #scientistswholift #foodscientist #foodscience #scienceofenergydrinks #energydrinkingredients #energydrink #scienceofenergydrinks #energystrips (at Planet Fitness)

DYK I literally wrote the book on energy drinks? How They Work, Why They Work, How to Use Them Safely. And it's on Audible! 📚🤓 It took 10 YEARS of researching energy drinks and their ingredients to make this book (and yet I kept it to ~100 pages for you busy people). And the best part is these ingredients are in sports supplements and other non-caffeinated health drinks too! 📚🤓 You've seen the kinds of puns and cheesy metaphors I use in my book excerpt posts, well all those are brought to life by @justtheworstever 🤓💚🎧📚🔬☕ #energy #takechargeofyourhealth #rockstarenergy #monsterenergy #rethinkyourdrink #dyk #fyi #redbull #foodscience #foodscientist #biochemist #badpuns @audible_com #audible #freebook #audiobook #ingredients #energydrinkingredients (at Huntington Beach, California)

Folic Acid vs Folate: If the amino acid Glutamic Acid is a BLING NECKLACE, Folic Acid always has one, whereas the natual kind, folate, almost always has three. 🥇🥈🥉 Folic Acid is a term reserved for the SYNTHETIC form of folate whereas FOLATE or folacin are general names for a group of nutritionally identical compounds. Folic acid is synthetic but still prevents spina bifida like natural folate. In fact because folic acid has less bling (fewer glutamic acids hanging off it) it is easier to digest than natural folate. Folic Acid and folate are indistinguishable once they're absorbed and get to the liver. 🌱🌳🌿☘🍀FOLATE gets its name from FOLIUM, the Latin word for LEAF. And wouldn't you know it, dark green leafy veggies are the best sources of folate. Other sources include asparagus, dried beans, eggs, fortified breakfast cereals (obviously) and oranges. ❔❓❔Does your favorite energy drink have folate? ❔❓❕ 🤓💚🔬☕🌳⚡🌱 #folate #folicacid #vitamins #eatyourveggies #leafygreens #vitaminsinenergydrinks #ingredients #energydrinkingredients #dyk #fyi #bookexcerpt #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #readthebook #readme #audiobook #ebook #ebooks #bling #sciencenerd #biochemist #foodscience #foodscientist #science #spinabifida #fortifiedcereal #whatsinyourdrink (at Huntington Beach, California)
