Maximum Effort
When the day asks for everything you've got. Sharp, awake and fully charged, start to finish.
Caffeine, taurine and B12 in a full liter of fluids. Book it before the double shift, the long drive, the exam, the tournament weekend, or the day you have to show up at full strength on four hours of sleep.
The most energy we put in a bag. None of it goes through your stomach.
Coffee and energy drinks have to be digested before they do anything, and most of what makes you feel wired is the sugar crashing an hour later. Here the caffeine goes straight into your blood at a measured dose, about half a cup of coffee, so it comes on smooth and holds without the jitters.
Taurine steadies it so you feel alert instead of wired, B12 helps your body turn food into energy that lasts past the caffeine, and the liter of fluids under all of it is the part most tired people are missing.
What each ingredient does for you.
The caffeine is why people book it, so it's first. Everything else is there to make that energy clean and make it last.
Caffeine blocks the signal in your brain that tells you you're tired. Drinking it means waiting on your stomach and riding whatever sugar came with it. Given in an IV at 60 mg, about half a cup of coffee, it reaches your blood at a steady rate, so the alertness comes on evenly and you don't get the spike and the slump. The dose is deliberately measured; the taurine and B12 are what make it hold.
Taurine is an amino acid your heart and muscles already use, and it's the reason energy drinks pair it with caffeine. It supports normal heart rhythm and muscle function while the caffeine is working, which is the difference between feeling awake and feeling wired.
B12 is what your cells use to turn food into usable energy and to make red blood cells, the ones that carry oxygen. Methylcobalamin is the form your body uses as is, with no conversion step. Low B12 feels like tired for no reason, and it's common in people who skip meals, eat little meat, or take acid reducers.
A good share of "I'm exhausted" is "I'm dehydrated." The full liter of fluids goes in alongside the caffeine, balanced the way your blood is, so you're not borrowing energy against a body that's running dry.

Questions about the Maximum Effort drip.
How long does Maximum Effort take?
Most visits take about 30 to 45 minutes in the chair. Plan on a few extra minutes at check-in.
Can I walk in for Maximum Effort?
Yes, once you have been in before. New clients start with a free 10 minute intro so a nurse can review your health history. Your intro stays on file for three years, and after that you can walk in any time we're open.
How is Maximum Effort different from Energize & Go?
Caffeine. Maximum Effort has 60 mg of caffeine with taurine and B12, so you feel it while you're still in the chair. Energize & Go has no caffeine at all; it uses L-carnitine and folate for a slower, steadier energy. If you're sensitive to caffeine or it's late in the day, Energize & Go is the better pick.
Will it keep me up tonight?
Not usually. 60 mg of caffeine is about half a cup of coffee, and most people clear it in 5 to 6 hours. If you're sensitive to caffeine, book it in the morning or early afternoon on the day you need it.
Can I get Maximum Effort at home?
Yes. Our mobile concierge brings the same drip to your home, office or hotel anywhere in the Birmingham area, for a $50 travel fee.
Can I add anything to it?
Yes. Add-ins go straight into your bag, and boosters are given during the same visit. Your nurse can help you choose.
Can my doctor see exactly what is in it?
Yes. Every ingredient and dose is listed on this page, so you can show it to your own doctor. You, or your doctor, can ask our nurse or doctor anything, any time. Just call us at (205) 210-9797.
