Brain Toniq

Coffee not cutting it? Red Bull taste too much like urine (don't ask)? There is an alternative. With over two years (that's more than 24 months for those of you counting at home) of research, Brain Toniq ($54/24-pack) was developed to revolutionize the world of energy drinks. It's actually so revolutionary that it doesn't even include caffeine, instead boasting ingredients like Choline, Eleutherococcus, Rhodiola Rosea Extract, DMAE and Blue Green Algae. The drink is said to alleviate brain fog without making you jittery and/or homicidal. The catch? It's carried now by some Whole Foods locations, but is otherwise hard to come by.
