Constituents of Snergy
Dextrose Monohydrate, Sucrose, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Oxide, Taurine, Inositol, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride and Cyanocobalamin, Acidity Regulator (INS 330)
Ingredients and their benefits:
Dextrose Monohydrate: It’s a carbohydrate, naturally rich in calories, and easy for the body to break down, causing an instant energy release. Dextrose ingestion results in an insulin spike, which means more nutrients are transported to the cells. Dextrose gives athletes an energy boost without hitting their glycogen reserves. Dextrose reduces fatigue caused by mental or physical exertion.
1. Sucrose:
1. Instant Energy Source:
Snergy restores energy levels as it contains two carbohydrates, perfect for giving instant energy. It’s easily digestible and does not load the stomach.
2. Maintains body fluid balance:
Snergy is rich in electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium, which renew lost electrolyte stores and maintain pH.
3. Prevents Dehydration:
Excess sweating because of high temperature or vigorous physical activity can lead to fluid loss and dehydration. Snergy provides the necessary fluid and minerals to maintain acid-base balance and prevents cells from getting dehydrated.
4. Prevents muscle cramps and improves muscle contraction:
Loss of electrolytes, especially potassium, can lead to muscle spasms and cramps. Snergy contains potassium which regulates the blood flow to muscle cells, preventing muscle soreness, stiffness, and fatigue. Potassium also plays a role in the transmission of nerve signals, stimulating muscle contraction.

The carbohydrate sucrose provides the body with instant energy to perform physical and mental functions. During digestion, sucrose breaks into fructose and glucose, which the body metabolises to release energy to cells.
2. Electrolytes:
Electrolytes lost through sweat can cause an imbalance in body fluid, affecting blood pressure, muscle contraction, and nerve function. Hence, it’s vital to renew lost stores. Snergy contains crucial electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium, which help maintain the body’s acid-base balance, prevent muscle cramps, regulate blood pressure, allow proper muscle contraction, and maintain bone strength and healthy nerve function.
3. Vitamins B6 and B12:
Snergy contains vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), which help form red blood cells. Lack of red blood cells is associated with reduced aerobic capacity, anaemia, poor stamina, weak muscle strength, and athletic performance. Vitamin B6 plays a role in energy metabolism and stress regulation. A study by Rokitzki L et al. (1994) to study changes in the vitamin B6 status of 13 endurance athletes before and after the marathon concluded that there was a mean loss of approximately 1 mg of vitamin B6 after a marathon. Vitamin B12 helps synthesise red blood cells (optimum level is required for sports activities). It helps in immune function and improves nerve signalling by synthesising neurotransmitters. A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to homocysteine accumulation, anaemia, loss of balance, limb numbness, fatigue, and memory impairment. Athletes must maintain Vitamin B12 levels in the normal range.
4. Taurine and Inositol:
Snergy contains taurine and inositol, which make it different from an ordinary energy drink. Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid and antioxidant that reduces muscle soreness by neutralising free radicals that can damage healthy cells. It also regulates the fluid-electrolyte balance and boosts immunity and heart and brain health. Taurine enables muscles to work harder and for a longer duration. It helps maintain cell chloride concentration and pH. Inositol is found in high concentrations in the brain in the form of Myo-inositol. It acts as an anti-depressant and boosts serotonin activity, reducing stress and anxiety.
