Why
Spark instead of Coffee or Soda?
Caffeine is a naturally
occurring substance found in over 60 plant species worldwide. It has proven
benefits for increased energy, mental alertness and has an aid in weight
management. It is provided in AdvoCare products as a purified ingredient
or as a component of an herbal extract. With Spark
you do not have the acidity of coffee.
I personally have never
been to into coffee, but I have always been a soda drinker. I must admit that
when I did my first Herbal Cleanse,
I worried about giving up my soda habit and getting
headaches. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed
the fresh taste of Advocare Spark
Energy Drink, and never got a headache or any negative
effects. In fact, I found that I was able to concentrate better, and didn't have the “ups and downs” that I used to get when drinking soda. In
fact, I liked Spark
so much, that I have gave up soda completely, and that is pretty amazing given
that I was choking down a soda or more daily. I have personally spoken to many
people who have had the same experience with coffee.
Here is some additional
information about how AdvoCare Spark®
Energy Drink compares with Starbucks® coffee, Coca-Cola® and Red
Bull® in terms of content and nutritional composition.
The comparison between
AdvoCare Spark
Energy Drink with Starbucks Grande Iced Café Mocha, Coca-Cola and Red Bull is
presented in the table below. AdvoCare Spark
products contain over 20 ingredients designed to support mental energy and
focus. AdvoCare Spark
contains no free sugar or fat. Starbucks coffee delivers large amounts of
calories in the form of carbohydrates and fat as well as large amounts of
caffeine. Coca-Cola is primarily a carbohydrate and caffeine delivery system
while Red Bull is high in carbohydrates and taurine with moderate amounts of
caffeine. The more complex AdvoCare Spark
formula is designed to meet a broad range of physiological functions necessary
for mental processing and energy as compared to the other products.
