Students like the idea of calorie burning drink, Enviga

Sacred Heart student's latest craze is Enviga, the calorie burning sparkling green tea made by Nestle and Coca-Cola.

Enviga was added to shelves around campus a week ago.

Enviga comes in three different flavors: green tea, peach, and berry.

Every can has more ECGC (Epigallocatechin galleate) than any other ready-to-go drink and provides 20 percent of the daily value of calcium recommended by doctors.

"Invigorate your metabolism"; Enviga's slogan entices customers to gently increase calorie burning by giving the body a little extra boost.

Nestle, a leader in nutritional research and the global tea business, conducted its own clinical study of an Enviga prototype amongst 18-35 year olds within a normal weight range.

After consuming the equivalent of three Enviga beverages over the course of a day, the subjects on average calorie burning increased by 106 calories, according to Nestle.

According to Flik food services here at Sacred Heart students have been more prone to buy the new Enviga drink rather than the competition, Tab Energy.

Flik has given away 40 cases of Tab Energy due to the decrease in sales.

Each 12 ounce can contains 100mg of caffeine, which is the equivalent found in one cup of coffee.

No adverse side effects of heart rate or blood pressure have occurred according to the Enviga website.

Caffeine is naturally occurring substance found in chocolate, coffee beans, tea leaves, and other plants including green tea. Enviga includes additional caffeine levels needed with ECGC to maximize the calorie burning effect.

ECGC is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and each can contains 90mg to invigorate your metabolism to burn calories.

More than half of American men and 3?4 of American women don't consume the recommended 1000mg daily calcium needed.

Calcium provides structure and strength in bones and teeth.

In each can, Enviga contributes 200mg towards the daily recommended 1000mg.
