So I made a category for Visalus as it is my new side business I’ll probably be talking about it a lot. In case you missed it yesterday I launched a post talking about Visalus, or more specifically Multi-Level Marketing business models which you can find here.

I am running pretty dry on sleep lately so decided to pull a 24 hour day. My sleeping problems come and go but are mostly due to work. I work in the oil field so we work 12+ hours a day and I am usually nights. We go on long hitches at times far away from our home where we do our work (In case you didn’t know) and one person is day and the other person is night. Unless you’re crazy like Slickliners who work 18-20 hours a day (Now you know how to turn 10.50 an hour into 50k a year.). I actually did that for a few days, but no, no, never again!

Back to the main point of this little post! So I am having sleeping troubles readjusting my clock to the daytime schedule. It’s about 6am, and I have an appointment at 10 with an insurance agent at Northwestern Mutual. He’s a pretty good guy, I actually gave him a Vi-Pak sampling so should be interesting what he thinks about that! So in order not to fail in my driving spree today I decided to try my own free sample of Neuro while I wait for those shakes to come in.

In case you don’t know what Neuro is, and you probably don’t, it’s a healthy energy drink alternative to Rockstars and Redbulls etc. It’s sold by Visalus and therefore I sell it as well, but hey gimme a break, a lot of products for me to try okay? Jeez. So I took the little packet (They come in these plastic little bags- makes it handy-on-the-go) tore it open with my fiercely tired fingers and got my huge Goblet of Atkins that I use for water and poured the sweet smelling red raspberry powder into my elixir. Taking a spoon I started to stir and I was INSTANTLY ANNOYED. The spoon was by far too large for my precious Goblet of Atkins. Sighing, I put away my spoon and got out a smaller one to stir my Neuro concoction. The clumps of raspberry powder dissolved into my water, creating a pinkish solution. The sweet smell of the raspberry faded away to a semi-okay smell that was not overly satisfying. So, preparing myself, I lifted my Goblet of Atkins to my cautious lips.

And. Well. Surprisingly. It was awesome. 

My dad said the lemon-lime wasn’t really all that great, but the rasberry is the one I had and man, it was pretty rocking for a healthy energy drink.  I drank all of it, and though I am still tired at the time of writing this, I do feel a little kick of energy coming on (It has only been like 10 or 20 minutes.)

I know what you’re thinking. BUT GREG, HOW IS IT HEALTHY.

Calm down. I’m getting there.

Besides Neuro being extremely cheap for a health product-or any beverage for that matter-it is also packed full of little goodies for the body. It has DMAE which helps increase memory, diarginine malate which helps with circulation and oxygen in the blood stream and of course your routine Vitamin B and Vitamin Cs only far more than any energy drink you’d probably see on the shelf (Yeah I’m talking about those sugar-infested cans that are as big as your forearm that are worse for you than probably 2 pounds worth of greasy fried Mcds.) But the thing about Neuro that really got me was one of its main ingredients Rhodiola Extract.

To give a little background on Rhodiola Rosea, it is mainly found in eastern Siberia. It’s been used for centuries by those inhabitants to increase both physical and mental aptitude. It was also used extensively (And probably still is) by Russian athletes. This thing is a miracle herb. Listen to this short list I’ve compiled for a little segment I call: What-the-Hell-One-Herb-Has-This?!:

-Increases energy
-Cardio-protective
-Helps to normalize heart rate after intense exertion
-Mood enhancing
-Maintain healthy cardiovascular function
-Enhance memory
-Maintain healthy brain function
-Improving work performance
-Improve sleep
-Improve appetite
-Reduce irritability
-Reduce occasional headaches and fatigue
-Weight loss
-Improves Sports Performance

One herb. Hundreds of applications? I don’t think Rockstar could rock that much ever. Even better, though the lime might taste horrible from what I hear, the raspberry tasted great! Everyone is different of course so one might taste better than another. Albeit, I usually do not prefer lemon. Especially when it comes to health products. Just weird tangy taste I’ve noticed in the average products.

So what is the Coddigus rating of Neuro?  10 out of 10. It is at once tasty and packed full of incredible things that no one should be without, as well as being in little packets for mobility (Reminds me of those Gogurt things that use to be popular when I was a little kid). Plus, it was used by Russian athletes to win medals. You know it had to do some intense stuff if they used it!

Not generalizing or anything…

When do I do that? Honestly. You offend me.

Well that is my little spew on Neuro.  Feel free to go and purchase your newfound energy! It’s only 30 bucks for a good size package, that’s 1 dollar a day for something pretty worthwhile if you do it monthly. Or even better, 24 dollars a day if you decided to become a distributor (Contact me). Good stuff all around!

And of course if you did decide to order it, please use my mailbox number for the referral: 354328
