(NewsUSA) - Whether you're an executive at a Fortune 500 company, an athlete, a student or an average working person, you know it's important to concentrate, stay alert and focus on the task at hand.

Typically, people turn to energy drinks, pep pills or coffee for an energy boost. However, the effects are short-lived and lead to a crash later in the day, due to high amounts of sugar and caffeine that do little more than speed up the heart and force the body to run on adrenaline.

One alternative to so-called "energy boosters" that only offer short-term effects is a product called Brainworks. It uses non-thermogenic botanicals rather than highly thermogenic stimulants to boost energy and endurance and increase oxygen and energy absorption into the brain. This results in improved memory function and information retention.

Brainworks works without harmful stimulants like ephedra or ephedrine. Each of its ingredients has been proven safe and effective over a 10-year period to increase cognitive thought and physical reaction times, according to the manufacturer. One of Brainworks' active ingredients, huperzine-A, is showing promise in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's. Studies also suggest that huperzine-A may boost alertness and learning performance in healthy people of all ages.

Brainworks increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, thereby raising the amount of energy transported to the brain via red blood cells. Simultaneously, neural pathways are cleared so that the electrical brain impulses are able to travel more efficiently, which translates to faster mental and physical reactions.

Brainworks can also be beneficial to athletes, or anyone who's activity has a physical component, by facilitating the delivery of oxygen-rich red blood cells to the muscles, increasing muscle fiber recruitment and boosting muscular output over the course of any activity.
