The latest to jump on the bandwagon is Germany-based Nautilus GmbH Laboratoriumsbedarf, which has re-launched its herbal stop-smoking remedy NicoMed as an energy drink. The company has also received approval to market the product as a food supplement from the German Health Authorities. NicoMed contains guarana, the South American berry reputed to boost energy and act as an aphrodisiac, which allows it to fit easily into the functional beverage category. Guarana, chemically similar to caffeine, is also claimed to be effective against nicotine cravings.
