Energy Drinks & Sports Drinks

Sports and energy drinks boost alertness and refresh performance for workers in every industry. Whether they need a quick way to wake up or a revitalizing treat in the afternoon, everyone in the office can enjoy a flavor to suit their tastes. Staples has energy-boosting refreshments for every occasion.

Energy Drinks for Caffeine and Taurine Boosts
Many workers depend on caffeine to start the day, and there are plenty of places to find it. Many energy drinks,including Red Bull, provide about the same amount as a cup of coffee. These beverages vary in size, and they're available in single-serving cans and reclosable bottles. Besides caffeine, which boosts energy even during mid-afternoon conference calls, these drinks often include amino acids such as Taurine as well. This organic compound works in conjunction with caffeine to promote healthy cognitive performance at the office. Energy drinks also contain vitamins, especially B vitamins that help workers maintain their focuses all day.

Shots and Supplements for All-Day Performance
Not all energy and sports drinks come in traditional cans and bottles. Some of these dietary supplements come in powder forms while others, such as 5-Hour Energy, come in shot-size bottles. These 1.93-ounce units pack caffeine and vitamins into a much smaller serving than larger drinks, so workers do not need to carry a large beverage into meetings or during commutes. Energy supplements come in dry packets as well. These powders mix into the water at your office to form vitamin-rich energy drinks that do not require refrigeration. These packets and energy shots take up very little space while stored, so offices can order enough refreshments for several months at a time.

Sports Drinks for Energy and Refreshment
Sports refreshments provide the hydration workers need to stay active throughout the day. They provide many of the same benefits as water, and they're packed with extra minerals. Most sports drinks,including Gatorade and PowerAde brands, contain carbohydrates that act as fuel for physical activity. These beverages also deliver electrolytes to thirsty workers. Electrolytes serve vital roles in these refreshments, may of which contribute to hydration. Bodies depend on these minerals to control water retention and muscle functions. Electrolytes also replace minerals lost from sweat during physical exertion. The combination of carbohydrates and electrolytes makes these drinks especially helpful for hot days when employees need extra hydration to stay alert.

Diet and Low-Calorie Drinks for Energy Boosts
Many popular drinks, including those from PowerAde and Red Bull, have low-calorie recipes for those who want to limit daily intake. These beverages maintain their ability to boost energy, and they include Acesulfame K or Sucralose in place of traditional sugars. They rely on these unique sweeteners to create tasty flavors without any extra calories. Sugar-free beverages offer the same vitamins and minerals as traditional drinks as well, so offices can stock them in the kitchen for health-conscious drinkers.

Workers need hydration to stay alert throughout the day. With thirst-quenching options and beverages that boost energy, there are plenty of ways to sate employees at the office. Find the sports and energy drinks for your team right here at Staples.
