Tibetan Tea does NOT contain synthetic Taurine, Glucuronolactone or Carnitine

Taurine, Glucuronolactone & L-Carnitine are all naturally occurring amino acids & carbohydrates in the human body. If they are in your beverage, they are synthetic. If they are synthetic, they are coming from the chemical industry.  To make matters worse, logic tells you that if a beverage company has shareholders, they find the cheapest suppliers for ingredients. What types of suppliers usually have the lowest prices?  Suppliers in unindustrialized countries lacking in any meaningful regulation, oversight or quality control.

It is important to note than many countries, including Germany, Canada, Norway, France & Sweden, do not allow our energy drinks to be sold in their countries at all, or require the synthetic ingredients to be drastically reduced.  Why? Because they have found these synthetic compounds  to be inert at best and dangerous at worst.

Taurine – An amino acid which is naturally produced in the liver and brain.  Natural taurine supports neurological development and regulates the level of minerals and salts in the blood.  The body only requires 6 mg per day. Per drink of Red Bull, Monster & Rockstar: 1,000 – 1,500 mg.

Glucuronolactone – A carbohydrate which occurs naturally in the body. It is necessary for connective tissue formation. The body needs 2 mg per day intake. Per drink of Red Bull, Monster & Rockstar: 600 – 1,400 mg.

L-Carnitine – A nutrient that helps the body turn fat into energy.   Carnitine is produced in the liver. The body needs 2 mg per day. Average mg per drink of Red Bull, Monster & Rockstar: 1,000 mg.

The harm being done by these levels of synthetic ingredients will take years to come to light. Ingesting 1,000′s of times the body’s needs of a synthetic compound will undoubtedly lead to serious liver & stomach issues in the future.
