SwingJuice: Hybrid Energy Drink
I was recently introduced to a sports drink called Swing Juice. Well, right off the name had my attention. Reading more about the promising concoction, I learned that Swing Juice claimed to "increase my concentration, sharpen my focus, boost my energy and boost my swing." Had I finally found the fountain of good golf? If so, perhaps I wondered if I could bathe in it.
After a little research, I learned that Swing Juice was created by an avid golfer like me and that the special ingredients are designed to work together in a number of positive ways. How can you go wrong with ingredients that are know to help sharpen focus and maintain concentration, restore fatigued muscles, ease depression and anxiety, alleviate nerve pain and numbness and reduce muscle spasms and leg cramps? Best of all, unlike other sports drinks such as Gatorade, Swing Juice has zero sodium and a relatively low level of caffine.
Ingredients:
Gingko Biloba - Helps to sharpen focus and maintain concentration.
Ginseng - Reduces the effects of stress, improves performance and boosts energy levels.
Taurine - Restores fatigued muscles.
Caffeine - Mentally raises focus and alertness (*only 25mg per serving).
Vitamin D - Helps promote healthy bones.
Niacin - Eases depression and anxiety.
Vitamin B12 - Alleviates nerve pain, numbness, and tingling.
Vitamin B6 - Reduces muscle spasms, leg cramps, hand numbness, and some neuritis conditions
Before cleansing my soul in the promise of great golf, I decided to put the drink to the test and introduce it to my 19thHole.com Review Team colleagues.
Too good to be true? I was on a mission to find out. Grabbing multiples of every flavor I could find, I proceeded to first have a taste test to include the flavors of Fruit Punch, Orange Mango, Lemonade, and Sugar Free Pink Lemonade. After which, each of my colleagues were given their own supply of Swing Juice and asked to play a round of golf and monitor their concentration, energy and anxiety levels.
We understand that it’s a very small sample size but here are our findings:

Final Thoughts: Our review team generally liked the flavor better than any other sports or energy drink. Some reviewers felt a noticable increase in alertness and energy during their round, while others commented that they were not as tired when they finished. The one drawback right now that I found is the availability of the product. SwingJuice is not widely distributed but they are currently working out deals with golf shops and grocery stores across the US and Canada.
Be sure to keep an eye out for Swing Juice at your local club, golf or grocery store. Give it a try and let us know your thoughts.
You can find more details at the SwingJuicewebsite.
