Yeah, I’d Imagine Vitamin Water Ad People Can’t Be Too Happy With This [NCAA Doping] [via peterwknox:]
Wow. I’m drinking XXX right now. Crazy.
The Brown Daily Herald reported some of the ingredients in the troublesome flavors:
The flavors known as Power-C, Energy, B-relaxed, Rescue, Vital-T and Balance were all mentioned in Associate Athletic Director Robert Kenneally’s e-mail to students, though only Energy and Rescue contain compounds that are banned - caffeine in both cases, and guarana seed extract for Energy. Caffeine is banned only above a level of 15 micrograms per milliliter, according to the NCAA, a mark that can be avoided with most moderate diets.
Five flavors contain some amount of impermissible substances, and so cannot be provided to students. Power-C, B-relaxed and Rescue contain the psychoactive compounds taurine - found in Red Bull - L-theanine and ECGC, the active ingredient in green tea extract.
Balance contains traces of glucosamine - sometimes used to rebuild cartilage or heal joints - and Vital-T has chemicals found in rooibos tea extract.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/OOtSV6gJBjsb2h3tgw1NmRAKo1_400.png)
