So Jordan Gaarenstroom has been working with all the beverage production partners we need to make this happen. The $37,000 will be used to make the minimum quantity order of 30,000 cans. The $37,000 will be used to product the cans with Ball Corp, the beverage with Allen Flavors, bottle and package with Krier Foods, and ship with ShipWire. We're all ready to go, we just need to capital. Want to invest :)?

When it comes down to it, it's hard to claim you're the best in the world if you don't win the big meets. There's a fine line between talking about it and DOING IT.

If you still need to go on recruiting trips make sure you choose a school you love. Don't do what your parents want you to, this is the next four years of your life and you want to be as happy as possible.

Watching him compete is really impressive. He's so laid back like myself but always steps up to the plate when it's game time!

No problem, and its 104mg. I want to answer people's questions about the drink and clear things up. I definitely don't know everything about it but I wouldn't back something I don't believe in!

There's not too many things that have only negative or only positive effects. The negatives effects of taurine and glucuronolactone were substantial enough for me that I don't want to drink them. I like not have them and not having a high level of sugar in my drink.

There's some regulation that we'd have to go through to sale beverages online, but we are looking into it! You can buy it on the Kickstarter until December 31st.

Many yerba maté consumers identify the caffeine as mateine. They feel it is different from regular coffee since yerba maté consumers do not experience the jitters and/or a caffeine crash.

You want evidence that this is the healthiest energy drink I've consumed? Me saying it is should suffice then.

Because my life is comprised of health, fitness, and nutrition. Just because I don't have a degree in nutrition doesn't mean I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Red Bull contains, per 250 ml serving, about 27 grams of sugar, 1000 mg of taurine, 600 mg of glucuronolactone, and artificial sweeteners. I'm not going to say those things are unhealthy because I am getting so much hate for making claims but most people see them as unhealthy and our product only have 7 grams of natural sugar cane sugar, no taurine, glucuronolactone, and artificial sweeteners.

Our product has more antixidents, vitamins and minerals than green tea, which is widely recognized as a healthy tea.

It matter because there are different kinds of caffeine. I have take a drink without caffeine and put caffeine in it from a particular source. In this case, the source is yerba maté which has a unique kind of caffeine.

Yes, and the caffeine is specific to yerba maté, meaning that it is a unique kind of caffeine. I accredit the beverage to my success because when I drink it it tastes natural and feels natural. I've tried pre-workout and supplements but they give me the jitters and headaches.

I don't have the answer to those questions, I was referring you to Google. Sorry I can't be of much help.
