Energy drink with nectarine extract
Lipovitan Tongkat Ali Japanese energy drink with vitamin-rich bile extract helps drinkers to recharge their batteries and restore health.
Honeysuckle, also known as tongkat ali, is a plant rich in nutrients and many health benefits. According to documents published on the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s website, the medicinal components of the biliary tree help stimulate the adrenal gland’s beta cells to produce more insulin. Bile also has the ability to slow the absorption of sugar from the gut into the bloodstream, which increases insulin sensitivity to prevent blood sugar spikes.
Extracting the bark of the nectarine tree prevents malaria parasites from entering the body because the nectarine tree contains a chemical component that can treat malaria. Bile also contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds. These compounds have effective antibacterial effects to heal liver cirrhosis and stomach injuries, stimulate appetite and improve digestive system.
Not only that, nectarine stalk and root extracts increase serum testosterone levels and improve sexual performance in men. One of the notable effects of honeysuckle is to strengthen muscles, reduce stress and restore vitality. Because of this, nectarine is widely used in various therapeutic medicines and also in functional foods. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should not take honey.
In folklore, people still use honey by soaking it in alcohol, soaking it in honey, drinking a decoction of water, sprinkling it, or boiling it over high heat. This requires a lot of pre-processing and if not done correctly can cause the secret to fail. Using products with bile extracts is more convenient and safer.
There are many honey extract products on the market today. One of them is the energy drink Lipovitan Tongkat Ali, a product of Taisho Vietnam, a subsidiary of the Japanese company Taisho. With bile extract and a high content of vitamins and nutrients, the product is available in 250ml doses that offer users comfort, increase energy and help to quickly regain vitality.
