• Chia seeds are full of antioxidants, omega-3’s, protein and various minerals and vitamins.
• Chia seeds were also used by the Aztecs, Incans and Mayans to boost their energy levels and increase stamina!
• Maca powder can help improve skin complaints, is full of vitamins and can also boost your energy.
• Coconut oil is full of lauric acid and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT’s), your body uses MCT’s to produce direct energy which helps to increase your performance.
• Caffeine can help to reduce muscle pain and increases the production of the hormone adrenaline.  An increase in adrenaline increases energy production,  improving the blood flow toward the muscles and the heart.
