Caff eine- Some studies have shown that caff eine may improve memory and reasoning responses on tests
Citric Acid- It is a precursor for the citric acid cycle (Kreb’s Cycle), which is a major pathway in the cell’s production of chemical energy.
Cyanocobalamin- Important for growth, cell reproduction, blood formation, and protein and tissue synthesis.
Folic Acid- Required for metabolism of carbon compounds, nucleic acids, and amino acids.
Fructose - Can be converted into a form for entry into the primary metabolic pathway in which the chemical energy of its bonds is converted into ATP, the primary “energy” molecule in the body.
Glucose - Enters the primary metabolic pathway in which the chemical energy of its bonds is converted into ATP, the primary “energy” molecule in the body.“
Glucuronolactone- It
