Technical Data
Description
Fatigued to Fantastic!® Daily Energy Enfusion™† features a combination of 39 energy-building vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and malic acid to help build all-day energy and endurance.†
Fatigued to Fantastic!® Daily Energy Enfusion™† is a sugar free, powdered dietary supplement designed to be mixed with water, juice, or other liquid beverage.
Fatigued to Fantastic!® Daily Energy Enfusion™† was formulated with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., recognized fatigue expert and author of From Fatigued to Fantastic! Dr Teitelbaum received his medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine. He is board certified in internal medicine, and has worked with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients for the past ten years.
Dr. Teitelbaum recently conducted a randomized clinical trial comparing the results of an individualized protocol to placebo. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Effective Treatment Of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS) & Fibromyalgia (FMS) - A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- Controlled, Intent To Treat Study. J Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. 2001;8:3-28). Dr. Teitelbaum found that the participants who followed an individualized protocol experienced improved quality of life compared to the placebo group.
How Does It Work?
Sufficient human energy levels are required for all physiologic functions, including muscle contractions, transportation of ions and molecules, and the synthesis of enzymes, hormones, and other macromolecules. Energy metabolism, the conversion of nutrients and oxygen into fuel, is a continuous process that takes place within the mitochondria, unique cellular structures. Mitochondrial energy production follows precise metabolic pathways and requires specific molecules, cofactors, and enzymes.
1 The resulting product is the special carrier for cellular energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The energy released from ATP powers all physiologic functions.†
2
Any dysfunction along the complex and multi-stepped process of cellular energy metabolism may result in insufficient ATP production. Consequently, physiologic functions may be significantly affected. Muscle contractions may be weak, ions and molecules may not be transported effectively, and enzymatic reactions may be insufficient.1-3 The result is often fatigue, that state following a period of mental or bodily activity, characterized by a lessened capacity for work and reduced efficiency of accomplishment, usually accompanied by a feeling of occasional weariness, sleepiness, or irritability.†4 Healthy human energy metabolism is crucial to sufficient ATP production.†1-3
Adequate nutrition is, in turn, crucial to healthy human energy metabolism.† Without the optimal daily intake of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, energy, in the form of ATP, cannot be produced. Even with adequate nutritional intake, energy demands often exceed energy stores, especially in the presence of emotional, spiritual, and physical stressors. Continued occasional imbalances in energy levels may result in disrupted healthy energy metabolism.1-3,5

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the source of the whey protein in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™†?
Whey protein is obtained from cow's milk. The cows are raised in the United States, New Zealand, or Australia.
Why is whey protein included in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™†? Is this product safe for people with dairy allergies?
Fatigued to Fantastic!
® Energy Revitalization System
™† was formulated with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., recognized energy expert and author of
From Fatigued to Fantastic! Fatigued to Fantastic!
® Energy Revitalization System
™† features a combination of 39 energy-building vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and malic acid to help build all-day energy and endurance.† It also contains whey protein, which supports healthy muscle formation, tissue formation, and also supports healthy immune system functioning.†
Whey proteins are high quality and nutritious dairy proteins. Milk contains two primary proteins: casein and whey protein. When cheese is produced the liquid whey separates from the 'curd' or casein. The whey proteins are then separated from the liquid whey and purified to various concentrations of whey protein.
The whey protein concentrate provides a minimal amount of dairy products, namely, lactose and casein. It contains a maximum of 7% lactose and 15% casein. This calculates to a maximum of 0.6 grams of lactose and approximately 0.9 grams of casein per serving of Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™†. For comparison purposes, there are 10 to 16 grams of lactose in an 8-oz glass of milk.
Due to the extremely small amount of lactose and casein in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™†, dairy allergies should not be aggrevated in the majority of individuals. However, those who are sensitive to even the smallest amount of dairy protein should not use this product.
Doesn't whey protein cause constipation? Why are whey proteins in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™†?
Whey protein supports healthy muscle formation, tissue formation, and also supports healthy immune system functioning.† It is an important part of Fatigued to Fantastic!
® Energy Revitalization System
™†.
Although we noticed several Internet websites that claim whey protein may cause constipation, we were unable to locate any documented, scientific reports on this side effect. We consulted several nutritional reference books and conducted a literature search of the MEDLINE® database and were unable to locate any reference associating whey protein with constipation.
How is the whey protein in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† processed?
The whey protein in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† passes through a multiple step mechanical filtration process where the material is purified and then concentrated by the removal of water and lactose. The concentrated whey protein is then stabilized.
Should I take a multivitamin if I take Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† every day?
This product includes over 50 vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Many people choose to use it in place of a traditional daily multivitamin – especially those who find a drink mix easier to take than large tablets or capsules. However, you may want to consider adding a calcium supplement.
What impact do B vitamins have on energy levels?
The B vitamins, thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacinamide (B3), pantothenic acid, B6, B12, and folic acid are notable for their synergistic behavior and are most effective when they are taken together. Because they are water-soluble, they are usually not stored and must be taken on a daily basis. The B vitamins are vital to energy production, specifically in the Krebs Cycle, a metabolic pathway that supplies high-energy electrons to drive mitochondrial ATP production.†
What B vitamins are people most commonly lacking?
A vitamin B deficiency is a common occurrence among the U.S. population and continues to increase as our lives become more stressed. In regard to riboflavin (B2) and methylcobalamin (B12) surveys in the United States reported riboflavin deficiency among the elderly to be between 10 percent and 27 percent. Research has shown that a B12 deficiency occurs in 3 to 40 percent of the general United States population.
Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† contains a high level of all the B vitamins, especially B12, to help support healthy blood, brain, and nerve cell function, which are essential for optimal energy levels.†
Can Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† be used as a daily multivitamin?
Yes. Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† is an ideal multivitamin for individuals who would rather have a drinkable multivitamin because they have difficulty swallowing numerous large tablets or capsules. We recommend that individuals taking Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† as a multivitamin add a calcium supplement because this product does not contain this nutrient.
Why is the B complex in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† separate from the drink mix?
The B complex capsule in Fatigued to Fantastic!® Energy Revitalization System™† is separate from the drink mix because B vitamins, when formulated at high levels, have a bitter taste. So as not to compromise the taste of the drink mix, they are packaged separately.
