Here is a little review for people who are probably like me, low in energy and requiring a quick boost through coffee or red bull. I have found an energy drink that is i believe really good in comparison to the others i find in Jakarta.
The product is called Naturade Gold. It is produced by Enesis Group, which also responsible for other health supplement products such as VEGETA.
I tried both Naturade Gold and Extra Joss, both in powder form. I find that Naturade Gold is better if you are seeking to do brain work. It gets you focused and more alert. Extra Joss on the other hand don’t give me the type of focus Naturade does. So for the brain workers out there, you can try to get Naturade Gold if you are planning to do some brain work.
The changes i felt after drinking Naturade is that I feel like the front part of my brain, the part right behind the forehead, is the one active. Also, i tend to not slip into daydreaming mode, which is the main cause of lethargy and sleepiness. Also i have this strange urge to ‘do things’. I don’t and can’t ’speak in my head’ anymore. Instead my attention is on doing something right now and I feel capable of ‘focusing’ on my books. Also i feel no strong heart beats that usually comes with coffee and energy drinks.
For i know, the effect lasts 1-2 hours, it may be seem short. But i think i accomplish more in there 2 hours than i do the whole morning + afternoon if i went without the drink. Also, on the website it states this “Increases long term brain ability/thinking process (when consumed properly after 1 month and minimum twice a day)”. If this is true, then this does more than giving instant energy, and that it even have good long term effects for the brain.
So if you are doing brain intensive work, you might want to pick this instead of the more popular red bull, kratingdaeng, or extra joss.

You should always check with your doctor before you try to take any supplements (yeah right, who ever checks with their doctor before taking over the counter medicines). Actually I don’t even know why I’m writing this disclaimer.
