The AM Take
Pub. 2009-12-18

Today’s man is in a perpetual state of going. If we’re not going at the top of our game at work, we’re going at it in the gym, and if we’re not going at it in the world of travel, we’re going all out with friends. Men are expected to be on top of things and it’s no surprise that we sometimes need a little extra blast of energy, a nutritional boost and a shot of hydration.

One of the keys to avoiding the pains of feeling rundown or hungover is plenty of hydration; but, if that was the only factor in making you feel better, then any old liquid drink would do the trick (outside caffeinated beverages). This is where Code Blue’s recovery drink comes in handy.

With its optimal blend of electrolytes and ultra-purified filtered water, Code Blue is the fastest way to replenish vital nutrients and fluids that have been lost after a heavy night of doing whatever it is you do. Storing a can in your desk at work or in your refrigerator at home could prove to be just the thing you need to shake yourself out of a funk.

When you ask someone to describe an energy drink, you’re often bombarded with terms such as overly sweet, nasty and loaded with calories. Even though it comes in a slim silver can that looks like your dime-a-dozen energy drink, the similarities between Code Blue and the scores of other beverages start and stop with the container. The tropical taste of Code Blue is enjoyable yet not artificial. The drink only contains 40 calories per serving and there’s no caffeine, which is a key to not aggravating a hangover, since caffeine can worsen such things.

Code Blue is so adept at pepping you up after a sleeplessness night thanks to a scientific blend of glutathione, prickly pear juice, agave nectar (yes, agave is what tequila is made from), and vitamins B and C. This mixture of natural juices and nutrients may not replace an extra four hours of sleep, but if you treat everyday like the weekend, this blue beverage is a lifesaver.

Suggested to be served ice cold, Code Blue may strike you first as a cup of Windex when poured into a glass, however, the jarring color is due to something much less sinister: natural blueberries. With three times the electrolytes of Gatorade, Code Blue is fast to work and smooth to drink. Not only does Code Blue have twice the amount of minerals as a bottle of Vitamin Water, but unlike other recovery drinks, Code Blue also has ingredients to replenish, detoxify and reduce inflammation.

It’s clear that top scientists designed this drink, but it would all be meaningless if the stuff tasted like a concoction of medicine. In a marketplace full of cringe-worthy energy beverages, Code Blue manages to be an enjoyable and naturally sweet tasting drink. It may not be advisable to throw down a can of the stuff before a big board meeting or presentation, since it will inevitably turn your tongue blue, but any stylish guy who wants to pull an all-nighter without actually looking like he hasn’t slept in 36 hours should grab a Code Blue.
