Redline (drink)

Redline or Redline RTD is the name of a thermogenic energy drink manufactured by VPX (Vital Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). Marketed towards the fitness industry, it is sold as an energy drink in gyms or health food stores. The beverage includes anhydrous caffeine, evodiamine, tyrosine, yerba mate extract, green tea extract, 5-HTP, vinpocetine, and Yohimbine. Redline is number one in its category in GNC and Vitamin Shoppe. Redline can is also sold in convenience stores, gas stations, and Wal-Mart.

Redline has also been studied scientifically. For instance, Redline Xtreme RTD was found free of banned substances (i.e. steroids, stimulants). The products were tested independently by HFL labs, which is the laboratory for Informed-Choice. HFL Sport Science is a world class WADA-experienced provider of nutritional supplement testing, and has pioneered a supplement screening service that meets the ISO17025 standard (accredited by UKAS, the United Kingdom Accreditation Service). HFL provides testing services for supplement manufacturers and suppliers world-wide. http://www.hfl.co.uk/Sport/SupplementsNutrition.html Informed Choice tests supplements and their ingredients for inadvertent contamination with substances prohibited by WADA (the World Anti Doping Agency). http://www.informed-choice.org/home.php Also, in a recent university study, (reference: http://www.jissn.com/content/5/S1/P29 ) investigators discovered that Redline® produced statistically significant improvements in reaction time, as well as feelings of energy and focus. In this investigation, twelve male strength/power athletes underwent two testing sessions (i.e. a cross-over, placebo-controlled trial) administered in a randomized and double-blind fashion. The consumed either 120 ml of Redline® or 120 ml of a placebo. They found a significant difference in reaction time, energy and focus. In addition, trends towards an increased alertness and a decreased fatigue were also found. These results are results of the caffeine within Redline, which does not necessarily mean it is a "better" product than other energy drinks/substances.

Redline, unlike most energy drinks, has no calories or sugar. Redline is sweetened with Sucralose and is sold in five flavors (grape, green apple, berry, peach mango, and mandarin orange).

Redline is not for consumption of people under the age of 18.

Redline is also sold as a gelatin capsule, and in a liquid form dispensed with a 5-mL spoon included with the bottle. [ [http://www.vpxsports.com/newweb/products/prod_detail.asp?cat=Diet/Energy%20and%20Rapid%20Fat%20Loss&id=26 Vpx Redline ] ]
