Product History Continued The isolation and chemical characterization of caffeine dates back to early 19th century by German, French, and Swedish chemists. The chemical structure of caffeine was identified near the end of the 19th century by Hermann Emil Fischer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1902 in part for his work on the synthesis and characterization of caffeine. The naturally occurring chemical caffeine is one of the few substances that have been used as a food (natural flavoring as a bitter substance), dietary supplement, and as a drug (over the counter mild stimulant). The amount of caffeine and its labeling determine its use. In other words, the product dosage and amount of caffeine are two factors that determine whether caffeine has food, supplement, or drug applications. It is important to use caffeine responsibly. Label directions for caffeine containing products should be followed as misuse of this ingredient can lead to potential adverse reactions. vlt ingredient phytonutrient traditional use* current use** Caffeine Caffeine Food Flavor, Bitter, Energy Dietary Supplement, Food, Pharmaceutical Guarana Extract Caffeine, Theobromine, Theophylline Mood, Memory, Alertness Flavor, Energy, Pharmaceutical Glycine Glycine Nutrition Protein, ATP, Glutathione Synthesis, Antioxidant Acetyl L-Carnitine Acetyl L-Carnitine Nutrition ATP Production Glucuronolactone Glucuronolactone Nutrition, Detoxification Dietary Supplement Vitamin C Vitamin C Scurvy Anti-oxidant Metabolic Support B Vitamins Vitamin B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine), B12 (Cyanocobalamin) Nutrients Endurance Check PRO VLT 4 *Traditional use claims have not been verified by modern scientific research. **These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Scientific Summary & CURRENT USE Caffeine is used as a dietary supplement ingredient in VLT. There are about 165 mg of caffeine per VLT dosage that provide energy and nutritional support. Excessive dosages of VLT combined with caffeinated beverages or other sources of caffeine should be avoided. The VLT formulation is designed to incorporate a balanced amount of caffeine and other nutrients to provide short and longer term sustained energy. Energetic effects may last 3-4 hours and complement the longer term energy impacts of VLT nutrients. Preliminary studies have demonstrated that subjects can cycle up to 29% longer during high-intensity circuits after taking caffeine in VLT. Guarana Extract A source of xanthine alkaloids including caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. Guarana contains polyphenols, and catechins and epicatechins (Green Tea type nutrients). It is used as a popular carbonated soft drink and as a dietary supplement ingredient. It is used in VLT to complement the other nutritional ingredients with a balanced nutritional and flavor profile. Glycine acts to support the energy metabolism in the body. It inhibits and neutralizes free radicals that may form during extended exercise. It is key to the synthesis of ATP, glucose and glycogen that provide energy to our bodies. Acetyl L-Carnitine is the acetylated form of L-carnitine. It increases ATP production on a cellular level in our mitochondria and plays a role in the body’s energy metabolism. It provides an impact to the cardiac and neuroprotective systems. Glucuronolactone is a precursor for Vitamin C synthesis and both of these substances have been demonstrated to play a role in structural and connective tissues in the body. B Vitamins & Vitamin C Each VLT dosage provides Niacin (B3 at 70% Daily Value), pyridoxine (B6 at 70% Daily Value) and cyanocobalamin (B12 at 23% Daily Value). Each are essential nutrients that have been associated with energy and wellness. Vitamin C at 40 mg or 67% DV per dosage is a recognized anti-oxidant and supports neutralization of free radicals. Vitamin C is recognized in supporting the structural elements of skin, tissues, and bone. Deficiency of Vitamin C has been identified as an element in scurvy (disease of the skin and mucous membranes). Each packet and dosage provides a rich source of B vitamins and Vitamin C. VLT 5
