BRAND PROFILE: DOCTOR V.
Energy drinks are full of sugar, caffeine and chemical nasties, right? Not anymore, with Doctor V.
Doctor V is a new, adaptogenic energy drink that offers a 100 per cent natural energising boost using unique formulations for improved physical and mental performance.
Check the ingredients list of most energy drinks and you’ll see a lot of nasty looking chemicals. Doctor V is different, utilising a variety of wild herbs sourced mostly from the Arctic Circle of Russia. These non-toxic plants have been used traditionally for reducing adrenal fatigue, restoring balance and enhancing mental and physical performance. Today, these compounds are regaining popularity and are being cited in wellness blogs and health journals for their energy giving properties.
Another key plant extract used by Doctor V is Siberian Pine Extract, which has been used in both food and medicine as a source of vitamin C. It contains a wide range of antioxidants, organic compounds and micro-nutrients.
An important ingredient of two Doctor V drinks is Sea Buckthorn berry juice, which is very rich in vitamins A, B1, B12, E, K, P and C. They contain more than 8 times the vitamin C of an orange. The berries are loaded with flavonoids, carotenoids and antioxidants. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus are also present. Sea Buckthorn oil may also be one of the only plant foods known to provide all four omega fatty acids — omega-3, omega-6, omega-7 and omega-9.
Obviously, Doctor V is formulated for the health-conscious consumer, with no artificial additives or preservatives, only the minimum quantity of caffeine required to be classified as an energy drink, and almost half the sugar of other energy drinks.
The dynamic drinks that make up the Doctor V range have different berry-based formulations for different specific outcomes.
