Taurine’s Role in Energy
Taurine is an amino acid that can be found in high amounts in the brain, retina, myocardium, skeletal and smooth muscle and platelets, and is plentiful in the fluids of the muscle, lungs and nerve tissues. Not only is it known for its role in helping the body maintain proper hydration, but it has been shown to act as an antioxidant and promote nutrient uptake at the cellular level, which may contribute to increased energy and support for physical performance.

I love taking the Awake, both flavors. I use it when I go to the conferences or taking long trips. I had some awake that had expired and did not want to toss it. I took it with me on vacation. My sister and I decided to take a 9 hr. road trip. I told her about the awake and that it was expired, but we tried it anyway. After approx. 5 hours we decided to take it and were about to make the rest of the trip without feeling tired or having the crashing affects as other products I had used.

Energy without the crash and burn

This is one of my favorite products. It gives me steady energy without the crash and burn. I even call it my “anti-crabby” because the amino acids help support a positive mood.
I also love the grape flavor—it tastes great and makes it easy to take. It’s incredibly convenient to travel with since it comes in liquid form. I love the battery-style packaging—very clever. I bring it on all my trips, and the convenient size makes it easy to take through airport security.
Response from Customer Service on 06/12/2026
