By the time 3:00 p.m. hits, I feel brutally exhausted, which is when I opt for a caffeinated beverage, such as a Monster, coffee, or a Coke. Even then, caffeine is only a temporary fix to the lack of energy – I get a quick boost and an immediate crash. Plus, the downside of carbonated beverages is that they always make me bloat and my stomach gets all “poochy.” It is as if I can’t win in this world of energy!

That is until I found out about the latest in energy technology, Enlyten ™ - electrolyte strips that dissolve in your mouth. Enlyten offers four quick dissolving strips – Electrolytes Plus (achieve peak performance), Energy (recharge), Antioxidants (boosts your immune system), and Melatonin (relax and reduce stress).

Enlyten has become popular among athletes due to the strips providing the body electrolytes prior to and during exercise to help prevent cramping and delay fatigue. In fact, it was just announced that Shaquille O’Neal has signed a new endorsement deal with Enlyten, which he publicized on March 26th via Twitter.

“Stay tuned-prepare for SHAQ to ‘enlyten’ you!!!” tweeted Shaq.

I tried out the energy strips, which are fast acting, have zero carbs, zero sugars, zero calories, and refresh, rejuvenate, and reenergize; need I say more? With Enlyten energy strips I am able to get through my entire day without feeling groggy and tired, plus they help me to concentrate better. The strips have a minty taste, which makes my breath smell yummy and taste clean (another added bonus). On top of all of the positive features of these strips, I don’t get the immediate crash that other caffeinated products tend to give me.

Here is what a couple of my fellow BeautyChatters had to say about Enlyten:

Jennifer - “I was excited to try the antioxidant strips since I’ve recently changed my diet and started eating healthier, but I have to say that I wasn’t very fond of the taste. It has a bite to it and didn’t make me want to use them very much longer. However, if you don’t mind the taste, it’s an easy way to get some anti-oxidants in your body.”

Jacquie – “I tried the Melatonin Plus strips and they worked great to calm my mind and body.  They taste great and did not make me feel sleepy or groggy.  I would recommend them to any one who sometimes has a hard time relaxing after a busy day.”

If you are interested in trying out Enlyten – whether you are an athlete, work-out guru, or just want a boost for the day, you can purchase these strips online on their website.
