Slow Cow: Red Bull’s Old Mother

slow-cowWe received a question from a visitor regarding Red Bull.

“I have realized that if I drink a can of Red Bull in the afternoon about 4pm, I don’t have a very good nights sleep. Either cant get to sleep or wake up after an hour. Can you take anything that would neutralize the caffeine? Will stop drinking red bull from now on.”

We have found the answer Linda and its Slow Cow. So  if Red Bull “gives you wings” then Slow Cow “gives your eyelids lead weights”. Here is how Slow Cow “calms you down”.

  • L-Theanine- Increases GABA levels which promote feelings of relaxation and believed to counteract the effects of caffeine.
  • Chamomile- It is believed to be a calming agent to fend off stress and aid in sleep.
  • Passiflora- It is known for its antispasmodic and sedative properties.
  • Valerian- It is useful in reducing anxiety and restlessness,improving mental balance, and it aids in restoring a good night’s sleep.
  • Linden- It is an effective cure for insomnia and is known as a sedative.

I think I’m ready for a nap just from typing that ingredient list. So snuggle up with good book and a can of Slow Cow and dream of flying instead of really doing so with the wings you get from Red Bull.

How many of these anti-energy drinks are there? I remember seeing your review of “Drank,” and i’m wondering how many there are…

Not sure Tim, but they seem to be getting more prevalent.

Tramp August 12th, 2009 10:46 pm

if only these were popular enough to land on the shelf somewhere prevalent. i’d love to give em a shot but i don’t want to drive to kingdom come to find it..

Have you tried one yet, or are you just telling us it exists. How about some pricing, availability, or a review.

ted August 13th, 2009 12:52 pm

Dr. Spaceman, if you check the category it didn’t say review therefore we have not tried it. For all the other stuff I included a link to the Slow Cow web site.

hmm i dont know what i think about having the combination of the stimulants from red bull and then the depressants in slow cow in my system…im no expert but that seems risky.

I’m with Tramp. I’d love to try one of these sometime if I could find them… But alas, the face in the gas station coolers rarely seems to change.

I hope this type drink catches on because I could see them being useful for relaxing at night (especially once school starts again).

Evan August 16th, 2009 4:29 pm

I read an article in the Washington Post about these relaxation drinks. Apparently they come in shot form too for if your in a hurry to relax(??).

Tramp August 17th, 2009 12:48 pm

“For EXTREME!!!! relaxation, try Slow Cow shots!”

Hi Guys,
This will be coming to the UK soon. A company has just been selected to bring this to the UK.
I brought a few from Canada and they are brilliant. This drink is going to be massive in the UK, especially amongst business people in the cities…

Jk, how do you know a UK company has been chosen, its good news if so, the drink looks great

I am forever getting stressed, finally something to combat it

JK November 16th, 2009 11:02 am

Hi RC,
It’s my company that’s got the exclusive rights for this in the UK. I had a few cans delivered to me in the negotiation phases with Slow Cow and the drink is absolutely fantastic – I was pleasantly surprised.
We start shipping in January.
Best Wishes,
Jk
