ReddRox

ReddRox and Rooibos

Rooibos is the main ingredient in ReddRox. It comes from a South African red, twiggy bush.

The South Africans use it to make a red tea that they not only drink regularly, they also give to athletes. After a lot of research, Lisa Marie herself went to South Africa and talked to the locals to find out more about rooibos.

• Rooibos is full of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is non-toxic, contains nothing that is harsh to the body’s systems, and functions the same no matter what form it is in.
• When beaten down into a pulp, dried out, and boiled as a tea, rooibos tastes sweet and can be consumed daily with no negative side effects.
• Even chewing on the twig from the rooibos bush can help reduce the effects of dehydration. Though this is not scientific, it is hard to argue with what has worked for hundreds of years with indigenous people.

Going from a South African shrub to a nutritional supplement that can be marketed and sold in the United States is not an easy task.

Even though only organic, all natural ingredients have been added to Rooibos to make ReddRox, approval is still needed on many levels and clinical trials need to be conducted in order for claims to be proven.

ReddRox Compared to Other Nutritional Drinks

Lisa Marie tells the story of the Philadelphia Eagles being so dissatisfied with sports drinks that they drank pickle juice to try to restore their body’s pH balance in 2000. Lisa Marie felt similarly.

Lisa Marie knew that typical sports drinks have a lot of added ingredients that are not necessary.   She set out to change this by providing a sports drink without toxins.

Other sports drinks contain things like high fructose corn syrup, artificial additives, and artificial colors. Dyes like red 40 can have side effects similar to caffeine.

These dyes can cause hyper reactions in anyone but especially in children. Unfortunately, these types of sports drinks are often the drink of choice at children’s sporting events.

ReddRox takes the idea of the rooibos plant, which is used by those native to South Africa in order to survive in the intense dessert heat, to a new level.

ReddRox Problems

The main problem with ReddRox is that it has not been scientifically tested. There is no research data or clinical testing that has been done in the United States to support what has been learned from the indigenous people.

• Practical testing on ReddRox has been done with sports teams, but there is no clinical data to back up what has been learned and these teams receive compensation for participating.
• The other problem with ReddRox is that it is not practical to be used in large amounts. It comes as a powder supplement mix in a large container or in individual packets that can be mixed in 8 ounce bottles of water. This is not very practical if you need a large amount or you will be using it several times a week.
• Another common complaint about ReddRox is that it is difficult to find. It is not sold in stores and ReddRox itself does not have an independent website.
• It is sold through wholesalers but not many wholesalers carry it on a consistent basis. It needs to be special ordered in many cases. Complaints cannot be filed directly with the company.
• The most applicable problem is that ReddRox is not economical. Traditional sports drinks can be purchased by the case, are already mixed, can be pre-chilled, and are affordable.
• ReddRox on the other hand, has to be mixed, is not convenient to carry along with you, and ounce per ounce it does not compare to the price of other sports drinks.
