We’re currently formulating a healthy morning alternative to high sugar, caffeine and chemical beverages to both educate and assist the masses with a product that helps start the day off with a balanced PH which is vital to set the tone of the day. It is useful to begin each day with a balanced nutritional intake to set your PH so that you will be able to avoid the common Cortisol / Sugar spikes a few hours after Coffee intake.
This cycle of sugar spike is caused primarily by coffee intake on an empty stomach and has been a standard in the Unted States for decades. The few who understand nutritional intake and the importance of breakfast intake can avoid the late morning crashes that cause lethargy and mental stress. Remember the gut controls the brain, so beginning each day with a balanced PH and sugar level will make your day more productive.
Health Tip:
While many people don’t each a balanced breakfast simply due to lack of time, this objective can be achieved by starting each morning with Lemon Water.
Health Tip:
If you eat a Banana in the am, it must be accompanied with Sea Salt for transport and absorption. The relationship between potassium and sodium is vital.

2. Monster Energy: Holding around 39% market share, Monster Energy generated revenues exceeding $5.5 billion in North America in 2022, leveraging a diverse product portfolio and partnerships in sports and entertainment.
3. Bang Energy: With an estimated 10% market share, Bang Energy focuses on functional benefits and no-sugar options, driving its growth among fitness- oriented consumers.
While these giants dominate the broader energy drink sector, the natural energy drink market offers untapped potential for innovation and differentiation, appealing to a growing base of health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers. This is where Mood Me will offer healthier, less toxic opportunities not yet found in this space by adding functional mushroom extracts that are much safer overall with less ability to increase Cortisol and sugar crashing hours after consumption like with Caffeine drinks. Our products are safer and healthier with no risk of dependency or dangerous side effects.
Mixing Red Bull with alcohol poses significant health risks, particularly due to the way caffeine and other stimulants in the energy drink interact with alcohol. This combination can mask the depressant effects of alcohol, making individuals feel less intoxicated than they are. This often leads to excessive drinking and an increased likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors, such as impaired driving or prolonged alcohol consumption. Studies have shown that such combinations amplify stimulation and reduce feelings of sedation, disconnecting perceived and actual impairment.
Additionally, frequent consumption of alcohol with energy drinks has been associated with increased alcohol dependency and higher chances of physical harm. The combination also heightens cardiovascular strain, and endorphin fatigue as both alcohol and energy drinks can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
From 2021 to 2024, research has reinforced these concerns, emphasizing the importance of moderation and awareness regarding the risks of such combinations.
Unfortunately the young rarely consider risks.

Reports from 2024 highlight ongoing health risks associated with mixing energy drinks like Red Bull with alcohol. While exact numbers of hospitalizations remain unclear, trends show a consistent issue where this combination increases the likelihood of adverse events due to masking the sedative effects of alcohol.
1. Increased Emergency Room Visits: Energy drinks combined with alcohol can significantly raise the risk of heart arrhythmias, dehydration, and overstimulation, which may lead to ER visits. This is exacerbated by individuals drinking more than they typically would because the stimulating effects of the caffeine and other compounds obscure signs of intoxication.
2. Judgment Impairment: Studies reveal that this combination disrupts the body’s natural cues to limit alcohol consumption. Individuals feel less tired, drink longer, and may take higher risks, potentially resulting in injury or
overdose.
3. Prevalence Among Young Adults: The group most affected includes young adults and college-age individuals, often in party settings, where energy drink- alcohol mixtures are popular.
Although there is a lack of comprehensive data for 2024 alone, health experts continue to warn about these risks. Preventive efforts focus on public education about the dangers of combining stimulants and depressants. For those affected, rapid medical intervention is crucial to manage symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, seizures, or severe dehydration.
⋅ Dehydration
Both alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, which can lead to dehydration. Dehydration can make it harder for the body to metabolize alcohol and can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.
⋅ Heart Issues
The combination of alcohol and caffeine can negatively impact the heart, leading to rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and heart attacks.
⋅ Impaired Judgment
The combination of a stimulant and a depressant can impair judgment, coordination, motor skills, and memory.
⋅ Increased Drinking
Mixing alcohol and caffeine can make people drink more, which can lead to stronger effects from the alcohol.
⋅ Blackouts
Alcohol can cause blackouts.
⋅ Sickness
Once the effects of the stimulant wear off, the depressant effects of the alcohol can lead to serious sickness, such as vomiting while sleeping or respiratory depression.
Some examples of deaths associated with mixing alcohol and energy drinks include:
⋅ A 15-year-old girl who died after consuming an alcoholic recipe made with energy drinks
⋅ A 52-year-old man who died after waking up dizzy and experiencing a massive coronary event
⋅ A man who collapsed after standing up to unload a boat and telling his friend he felt off
The combination of alcohol and energy drinks is also known as a “Speed-Ball” or “AED”. Some bars also serve specific alcohol/energy drink mixers called “Bull Blasters”, “Bull-Graites”, or “Jager Bombs”.
