Energy-Blend™ Composition and Usage
Question
What is the ratio of Caffeine, Adenosine, and Vitamin B3 within Energy-Blend™? Can Energy-Blend™ replace adding Caffeine, Adenosine, and Vitamin B3 individually in a formula, and would the efficacy be the same?
Answer
Energy-Blend™ Composition and Usage
Energy-Blend™ is a blend containing Caffeine, Adenosine, and Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide). The product description does not specify the exact percentage or ratio of each individual ingredient within the Energy-Blend™ itself.
Energy-Blend™ utilizes hydrotrope technology to help dissolve Caffeine and Adenosine, which are normally difficult to dissolve in water at high concentrations. This technology allows the blend to be highly soluble in water, contributing to its expected performance.
Can Energy-Blend™ Replace Individual Ingredients?
Yes, Energy-Blend™ is designed to be used as a single ingredient in a formulation to provide the combined benefits of Caffeine, Adenosine, and Vitamin B3. It simplifies the formulation process, especially concerning the solubility challenges of Caffeine and Adenosine.
Efficacy Compared to Individual Ingredients
Energy-Blend™ is formulated to deliver the synergistic effects of its components. While the exact efficacy compared to using specific percentages of each individual ingredient separately cannot be precisely determined without knowing the blend's internal composition, using Energy-Blend™ at the recommended concentrations is expected to provide good performance due to the enhanced solubility and the combination of these active ingredients.
Recommended usage rates for Energy-Blend™ are:
- Anti-cellulite formulas: 5%
- Anti-puffiness/anti-dark circle formulas: 3%
- General anti-aging formulas: 3-5%
- Hair growth stimulation formulas: 3-5%
Using concentrations higher than 3% may cause a warm sensation on the skin, particularly around the eye area.
