Energy Drink Ingredients
Since many of the people that are drinking multiple energy drinks a day don't actually know what all is in them and what they have done here I have broken down the most common ingredients of the energy drinks and provided many links for more detailed information of how they help you and give you more energy. So if you want to know more about what your taking and how these chemicals effect your body continue reading. If you know more or have found a great link about any of the ingredients post them here.
Increased Metabolism:
Many of the ingredients increase your metabolism which in turn increases your energy. The metabolic process that produces energy for all biological functioning. Almost all energy drinks increase your metabolism.

Antioxidants:
Many of the chemicals in these energy drinks are known to or believed to be antioxidants. Which prevents cellular damage. A lot of research has been done on the benefits of antioxidants.

Taurine: Is one of the lesser known amino acids. It plays several important roles in the body. It may help with reactive oxygen, respiratory burst, and there is some evidence it is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It has also been linked to other metabolic functions but it is not clear. Why is it not clear, because it hasn't been fully researched and much of what it does is still unknown. There is a lot of research going into Taurine right now. There is is a lot of research into the effects of Taurine on the hearts functions. Obviously many users have also noticed a stimulating effect from this amino acid as it is included in most energy drinks, but since it hasn't been proof it must mean it does nothing... Nope it just means it hasn't been studied closely by the FDA, it is currently under investigation in parts of the world and some drinks with it have been banned in France, Sweden, and Iceland.

Guarana:
Contains caffeine (It also contains modest amounts of related compounds theophylline and theobromine) and other ingredients it has the same effects as caffeine, but hasn't been studied as closely many users believe there are additional benefits to this drug. It has been used in and surrounding Brazil for a long time. It has also been found to increase weight loss and increase the rate of fat loss.

Caffeine:This is a well known and trusted stimulant... I will leave it at that. Since this isn't disputed caffeine is a known stimulant... you get 70-200 mg from most energy drinks... A full can of Rockstar gives you 150 mg
ginkgo:
Known to Increases metabolism, enhance circulation, is an antioxidant, increases immunity... Yeah there is still more to know about this one, but increases metabolism sure is energy producing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginkgo
http://www.kcweb.com/herb/Ginko.htm
B vitamins:
B vitamins helps us produce energy and in the current diet is believed to be low for most people. These vitamins are essential for the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose, which provides us energy, the breakdown of fats and proteins. Things like riboflavin, niacin, and other odd names are frequently found in energy drinks that are just other names for B vitamins B2,B3 and whatnot.

Sugar:
“Glucose is the major carbohydrate used as fuel in our body to supply energy... Glucose is the preferred fuel of brain cells, and also muscle cells in early exercise.” Carbohydrates (which sugar is) provide most of the energy needed in our daily lives, both for normal body functions such as heartbeat, breathing and digestion and for exercise such as cycling, walking and running. “In fact, evidence suggests that a sugar-containing precompetition beverage or snack may improve performance during endurance workouts and events.” Sugar can be good for many athletes or those in work out (or out dancing) situations. Sugar intake is highly recommended for any exercise lasting over an hour... I read recommendations between 4-6 tablespoons.

Inositol:
This has little known about its effects but shows some promising results currently. It works directly in the metabolic process.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inositol
Carnitine:
Is an amino acid used direction in metabolism...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine
Eleutherococcus senticosus:
Also called Siberian Ginseng although it is not ginseng.. stimulates the adrenal gland.. Many times it is used to treat and fight chronic fatigue syndrome. It has long been used to increase endurance and stamina...

milk thistle:
Is an antioxidant and has been found effective in treatment against cancer. Obviously still very little is known about the overall effects of this plant. Milk thistle is also believed to be a good detoxifying agent.

this site would be better if you actually listed what the caffeine content for the drinks were and what the comparison were to say coke or pepsi. And what"s with the dark color that is so hard to read.
Posted by: Frank Lavin at April 1, 2005 02:01 PMany energy drinks with STEVIA or Xylitol???
Posted by: mister canada at April 5, 2005 09:06 PMThis was a very helpful site! I am researching the effects of energy drinks for school and your web site has been very beneficial. THANK YOU!
Posted by: Alayne at April 17, 2005 08:18 AMI am glad this site has been usefull to you. I will try to start listing the caffeine contents with the drinks the problem is that many of the energy drinks dont report the amount of caffeine in them. Some definately do though.
As for the dark site yeah i didnt put anytime into making this site pretty and it started to get really popular and be linke dup everywhere so i figure why change what seems to work. check some of my other sites and you will see that i try to design them better.

Posted by: Ptone at May 8, 2005 08:35 PMWe would like to send you one of our drinks.. see if you can review it.. please send your details...
Posted by: TJN at May 9, 2005 03:38 AMWhat about some the herbal energy drinks that claim to be all natural and such? I recently bought some Tinge Energy Shot at a convience store while traveling and found it to be quite good. I have found them on eBay recently and on a website for sale. Not many convience stores carry it at least not where I live. The website URL is http://www.zorrin.com if you want to check it out.
Posted by: RedHat39 at May 12, 2005 07:38 AMI think you are right about Monster and Rockstar. I must say, Ive tried red bull before and that didn't work for me well, in fact, I've had two before and I was still falling asleep. The same goes as well for amp energy drinks (by mountain dew) I've had two of those and fell asleep in class. (THAT'S NOT GOOD) I think that monster and rockstar are some of the best energy drinks out there. (good tasting too)
Posted by: David White at May 13, 2005 03:10 PMHey Dan love your site, I found a new drink that I think that you would love, it is called Rip it.
It taste great to me and best of all it is only 99 cents. I would love to see your review on this drink.
New powdered energy drink A.C.T. Works great for me. Stayed totally alert on a 300 mile drive. I would usually have a 32 oz mountain dew and still have to fight to stay awake. Taste is good and the price is right.
Posted by: David at May 20, 2005 12:10 PMi am a mom of a 3 month old and he is up all hours of the night he doesen't go to bed till 5 am and i was falling asleep so i went shopping one time and came accrost a enegery drink that said boo-koo and i picked up it up and needless to say i love it and buy it all the time.

Posted by: at June 9, 2005 12:15 AMMan.... dont forget that exercise and healty eating is what keeps us going strong naturaly.. 5 rock stars a day in going to give you a fast heart beat (tachycardia) and THAT can KILL you...
I vote for MONSTER ASSALUT.. never more than two a day
Try running your text through a spell checker man. And Caffiene is measured in milligrams (mg) not millilitres (ml).
Check out "V" www.v-energydrink.com
The chick with the 3 month old - I sure hope you aren't breastfeeding. Would you bottle feed your 3 month old a double-shot espresso? Lay off the sugar and caffiene and the wee one might sleep better.

WATER. Drink a lot of it. Its good for weightloss, skin, hair, breath, kidney and liver function, bloodpressure, energy, mental activity, stamina, no carbs, fat, protein. Its the most important nutrient source there is.
umm yes caffiene is in mg not ml I know this the ml is the quantity of the entire drink... Also I dont agree with spelling in general because I think it limits the expression you can make with words. Paper doesnt allow the variety that speech does... you can say things differently... and by that I just can't spell worth crap and I really dont care cause everyone seems to be able to understand what I am saying so really if i am understood what is the point of wasting time spelling, this isnt a profession site, this isnt my job, it is for fun, which spelling isnt.
Posted by: Dan "energy" Man at June 15, 2005 09:50 PMI was wondering the age that is appropriate for these energy drinks...such as the Red Bull?...what effects would it have on chidren from 4-12 years of age? thanks!
wow...Energy drink are part of my life for sure...when i go buy some i drink 3 as fast as i can...sure i feel like im going to puke but then again who cares....its fun...lol....the most effective energy drink iv'e had out of the wide variety I would sya has to be the monster energy drink...the best t asting one i believe is the moxie energy drink...Tahnxs for this site on the best drink out there
I have an amazing energy drink for you to try. www.herbal-nutrition.net/karenmclendon
Its on the first page.

If kids such as children from about 6-13 drink energy drinks, would it have any different effect on them?

I'm wondering if you guys heard of Monster XXL. Quite nice, 2.13 here after tax, 23.5 fl onces, and it's the original monster taste. I hope it's not for a limited time though... if it is... that sucks XD
Posted by: Mijinion at August 12, 2005 02:33 PMFor those of you who are looking for a HEALTHY Energy Drink, check out Pollen Burst. It contains Flower Pollen which has all of the nutrients your body needs plus Superoxide Dismutase (the most powerful antioxidant there is) For more info go to ProJoba Int. web-site www.projoba.net and www.burstscience.com Let me know if you have any questions!
Posted by: Jill Kralik at September 2, 2005 10:13 PMIm glad to see there is so much good things in this drink now i can prove to my parents that is not just a waste of money, and its not just flavored water..... could you E-mail me some more info in this drink?
Posted by: Megan at September 14, 2005 01:21 PMHi Megan,
If my children were in college I would certainly WANT them to be drinking Pollen Burst. It's a great energy drink to use for studying, plus it's a nutritional supplement. I will send you an email with some more information asap!
I have been using LIFTOFF daily for about 6 months now.
It enhances mental performance!
It improves short-term memory!
Promotes fast accurate thinking!
It reduces mental fatigue!
Its an effervescent table, so its very portable, take it anywhere. It has NO SUGAR, NO CALORIES and only ONE CARB. It gives your MIND and BODY a boost whenever you feel your running on empty! It helps you stay alert and focused for improved concentration!
WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO TAKE IT?
Energy drinks are stupid!! You guys don't know about the bad stuff. Red Bull isn't called Bull for nothing.
Posted by: George at October 19, 2005 01:48 PMWhy do some of the energy drinks have printed "Not recommended for children" on them?
Someone please reply if you can.
I have a huge test tomorrow and just bought a case (4) of Red Bull. Wonder what good it'll do. I'm definitely going to give Monster a shot since everyone on this board seems to be so psyched up about it. :-P
Posted by: Owned at October 25, 2005 09:08 PMAaron,
The reason energy drinks have "Not recommended
for children" is probably because of the caffine.
Pollen Burst is a nutritional supplement/energy
drink that contains caffine from the Green Tea
extract. Because it is a nutritional supplement,
ProJoba has to state that it is "not recommended
for Children". (It's the Law) Oddly enough, Pepsi, Coke, Hersey, do not have to state this because their products are food products. Go figure...
Hey Owned,
Hope you did well on that test!
Just remember to pace yourself
with energy drinks. Once you are
done studying, you are going to
want to get some sleep so you aren't
totally zoned out during the test.
Dan has a few good recommendations
for studying. Ask him to find out.
Do you have a list of the energy drinks from most popular to least popular?
Posted by: Hirona at November 1, 2005 11:37 AMI think energy drinks are good...but i think it is a very bad habit to get into if u drink them everyday...especially if it is a triple monster...
Posted by: Joel at November 13, 2005 03:39 PMThere's a new drink out by Mountain Dew. It's called MDX: Energy Soda. You should review this drink.
Posted by: Jim at November 15, 2005 12:27 PMhas any one tried heat seeker. a friend of mine tried it and said it was hard core. cant find any info about it any where any info from you guys would be great
Posted by: chris at November 17, 2005 01:32 PMI found your site to be very useful, I'm very grateful that you prostitute your body, so I don't have too. I
must say your site is great but this message board is getting owned by companies such as Liftoff, Revvida and
A.C.T. You should delete these free advertisements now before it becomes an even bigger problem.
Being low on money, I found an energy drink named Rip it. Comes in a regular flavor, red & citrus X. It's quite good for the taste. It's like orange sherbert ice cream & 7UP without an aftertaste. It's only 99˘ . . . and that's a steal compared to the others at $1.99-$2.49!!
I bought one & have been hooked ever since. It's 130 calories, 8oz with B6, B12, folic acid, vitamin C & taurine 1000mg! And of course, caffeine & guarana seed extract.
But for the price, this is great! I drink one each day I have to work, which is 3 or 4 days & this taste great! I can see mixing this with vodka or gin. For my time & money, this is it . . . until something else comes along, look for this little gem in your local stores. I found this is my neighborhood store . . . go figure!!
Posted by: hiddenbeach at December 5, 2005 07:33 PMI've tried heat seeker last night and i'm on the worst come-down of my life! Yes it is hardcore. A friend of mine gave it to me and said only use half the first time, but i drank the lot. It was the best buzz i've ever had off an energy drink, but a few hours after, i hit a come-down and been there ever since. I think it may be due to drinking it on an empty stomach.
Posted by: Ollie at December 12, 2005 08:57 AMI've read all the comments and have heard lots of negative 'facts' that people have heard- I still drink and enjoy energy drinks regardless. I began looking at these sites to find out the real facts about the bad side of long term consumption. Does it really do anything to your liver or other organs? etc. It may sound nieve but I'd like to give back some real facts not just-" I heard that..." bla bla bla. If anyone has any sites or info I'd appriciate it. Thanks
Posted by: Vanessa at January 1, 2006 05:27 PMI tried some Heat-Seeker the other day before my football match. It made me really focus not sure if it raised my energy levels a great deal. Trying to find some info on it has the bottle didn't have any ingredients on it.

MY AUNT USED TO DRINK A ENERGY DRINK EVERY DAY IT IS GOOD THAT I NOW KNOW WHAT IS IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT AND MYSELF AND I CAN HELP. THANK YOU!
Posted by: nilaja Gardner at February 8, 2006 09:39 AMYeah if ve add some ingredients in our drink it can increase our metabolic process.our metabolic process need such ingreedients which provide energy after breakdown
Posted by: Rebica at February 11, 2006 09:01 AMEnergy drinks have as much caffeine and sugar as 1 cup of coffee. You could go to Starbucks or brew your own for cheaper and get the same jult.
Posted by: Rachel at February 22, 2006 02:28 PMRIGHT NOW I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR A NEW PRODUCT
BUT DONT KNOW WHERE TO START. I WONT GIVE ANY HINTS BUT YOU WILL KNOW WHEN IT HITS THE MARKET IT WILL EXPLODE. IT IS STILL BEING PATENTED RIGHT NOW BUT AFTER THAT SHOULD I MARKET IT MYSELF OR SELL THE RIGHTS TO A BOTTLING COMPANY?
PLEASE ADVISE!!!
hmm...i have not learn much things in this website...wish u all can improve this website so that others go this website will learn more!
Posted by: Clarerer at March 1, 2006 05:54 PMi think u need to add information on how the high caffeine is bad for you. U state it as no big deal. but it is
Posted by: elizabeth at March 3, 2006 08:47 AMI think you should break down your ratings into 2 categories: Energy and Taste. You can keep your overall rating but I'm interested in how much energy a drink has.
Oh and hurry up and put my favorite drink review up: The original 180. MMMMMMMMMMMM
Posted by: Mike D at March 3, 2006 09:28 AMelizabeth,
I would like to see some articles showing that? Mostly it seems caffeine is addictive, but it doesnt really have any bad qualities. So addiction in it of itself isn't bad, I mean being addicted to air, is just normal.
Here is all i found:
High doses of caffeine can cause dehydration, irritability, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, insomnia and indigestion.
Most research suggests that drinking one to three cups of coffee a day (up to 300 milligrams of caffeine) does not seem to have any negative effects in most healthy people. However, pregnant women, children, people with heart disease or peptic ulcers, and the elderly may be more susceptible to the effects of caffeine and are advised to restrict caffeine.
But Caffeine has some good effects as well.
Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities?

Posted by: jeremy w at March 29, 2006 12:53 PMi think you should all stop wasting your money on energy drinks and use it to save the starving children in Africa
Posted by: I P Freely at March 30, 2006 07:07 AMI P Freely,
with a fake name and a strong message you make it hard to be taken seriously.
There is always better things in the world to be spending your money on if your only thinking about how to help. The fact is you have to spend some on your hobbies and things you enjoy to be happy yourself. Do you pay for TV instead of starving children?
How about your internet connection?
College which probably costs enough in the US to feed a few hundred people for their entire lives in 3rd world countries?
Do you have a car?
What about oil?
Point is don't come here and rip on my choices in life when your obviously running around looking on the internet at energy drink sites.
Helping is good, randomly attacking others life choices shows your ignorance.

so f$&+ all haters
for all those peeps that hate monster or any energy drink, why do u drink it?look dee dee dee!!
Posted by: pee-peeman at May 1, 2006 01:46 PMI think you should all take a look at what's in these things! Energy drinks are not bad for you one every once in a while, but come on, 4 redbulls before a test?! yes there are good energy drinks, but not the ones that give you energy from caffeine and sugar..if you want energy like that, eat a box of sugar cubes and coffee mix! I did not come on this site to rant on all of you, even though i am...i came on this site for a research project, and to pick up on some of your comments. I'm not a know it all, but i do know alot, just be safe when you drink those things...i'm tired of seeing althlete's dying from them on the news, and i don't wanna see any more.
Posted by: name's Jamie at May 24, 2006 05:41 PMand props on Dan!!!!this is a political haven!
Posted by: name's Jamie at May 24, 2006 05:42 PMI have tried various energy drinks and have mixed a couple with alcohol. I have always been a subdued, meek individual and get nervous easily. If you get nervous about anything then I suggest that you do not drink these in around or about any situation that might make you nervous. I would also suggest that you not mix these with alcohol in a strnge situation either if you are like this. I was taken to the emergency room for severe cardiac, nervousness after drinking two redbulls mixed with the usual alcohol. I was on an IV and a machine for 2 hrs. However, if you are strong willed and never get nervous then, do as you wish but those that have weak hearts, please beware and avoid the $5000 hospital bills and near/ death.

Posted by: Jay at August 12, 2006 07:59 AMI drink about ten cans a week of the Moxie Energy Drink. I find it to be a refreshing change from soda. Being that I am 48 I can use a refreshing boost in my day. The Moxie Energy Drink is just the ticket. Some how I feel that it could be sold cheaper.

Posted by: Donny Richmond at December 16, 2006 08:23 PMMy 16 year old son had two monsters last night. He woke up during the night with severe heart palpatations a difficulty breathing. He thinks it was the monsters and that he won't ever drink them again. Scared us all. Have there been any comments like this, anybody experience this?
Posted by: Barb at December 30, 2006 08:48 PMRemember, when you use caffeine, you're using a drug... and as with all drugs, prescription or otherwise, DOSE MATTERS. A Rockstar is not the same as a shot of espresso...
Erowid's list (with sources!) - includes medications and caffeine pills:
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/caffeine/caffeine_info1.shtml
Energy Fiend's list- heavier on the energy drinks:
http://www.energyfiend.com/the-caffeine-database/
(be forewarned: some of the numbers disagree)
Posted by: Dan at January 5, 2007 07:53 AMspeaking of dose... MORE IS NOT BETTER! If you want to stay really sharp, several small doses are better than one whopper:
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=0009AF28-3707-10A1-B70783414B7F0000
I've experienced this myself... refilling my mug of green tea at work gives me a lift without that spinning-your-wheels, spazzed out feeling.
p.s. remember that caffeine makes you more susceptible to persuasion:

Posted by: mia at February 22, 2007 03:40 PMDan:
Caffeine is expressed in miligrams (mg), not mililiters (ml). How can you be supplying this information to idiots when you don't know what you are talking about?
Posted by: jim at March 23, 2007 07:41 AMSimple typo Jim, obviously everything else I wrote must be incorrect based on a typo.
Posted by: Dan "energy" Man at March 23, 2007 09:53 AMMONSTER is the best Energy Drink there is, If you don,t buy it you are GAY!
Posted by: Chris at April 20, 2007 06:04 AMsome one told me that these engery drinks contain alchol is that true if soo which ones thank you
Posted by: david at June 21, 2007 03:31 PMThis site is awsome . Thanks Dan for not contributing to starving kids in Africa. And thanks to all the people who drink like 6 a day thats cool. The girl that drank a few bad mixed drinks (somehow still your fault) Who cares about typo's we arent writing a paper... Thanks again Dan, I drink the monster religiously. I prefer vodka before work though it gives me that kick to patrol the roads.
Posted by: Josh at July 24, 2007 09:55 PMWell, I'm not sure if this is a valid link yet because I haven't gone to my dentist yet. I started drinking Monster about 5 months ago. Often hitting the max limit of 3 per day. It really helped wake me up in a way that coffee never did. But I started having some tooth pain recently. I had a few cavities when I was a kid, but my overall dental health has been excellent all my life. The pain got worse over the past few days and I had to start taking Motrin to make it go away. When the pain first started, I looked at the painful tooth and didn't notice anything, now it's getting bad fast. The pain is now constant. So I got a dental mirror and decided to do a thorough examination and found a black spot on my back molar where most of the pain was, another one a few teeth forward and another just starting to darken on the other side. These spots have not been there before. I just realized that the only change to my diet recently has been the addition of Monster. So I did a search and discovered that energy drinks have a much higher acid content than soda, the traditional bad boy beverage of the dental profession. So I have to wonder, Did drinking multiple Monsters on a regular basis accelerate tooth decay? I go to my dentist in a few days, so we'll see.
Posted by: Tony at August 23, 2007 09:58 PMA warning to moms: There is a new type of beverage masking as energy drink called Tilt by Anheuser Busch - don't be fooled it has more alcohol than a beer and more caffeine than a mountain dew. Also contains guarana, gingko and other crap. My son almost died drinking this. His heart rate was 150 but he was twice the legal limit for alcohol. This looks like an energy drink and there are others. Please examine the cans if your kids drink energy drinks to make sure they do not include alcohol. My son was rushed to the emergency room in full blown tachycardia and almost died. Please be informed. I'm not sure names of others but Tilt is the one I know of.
Posted by: Cheryl at September 17, 2007 07:16 AMthanks for the information about energy drinks.

How about someone with Hepatitis C? It is safe?
I am a 37 year old male in end stage kidney failure. I am on 300 MG of Zyloprim - once per day, 2.5 mcg of Hectorol - once per day, 5 MG of Norvasc - once a day, 1 tablet of Bactrim (maintance) - once per day and 80 MG of Lasix - twice per day.
Needless to say I am suffering from drowsiness and fatigue and was wondering if this would be a possible supplement I could try.
I don't know if you are drs. and know about how this product interacts with meds or not, but I would appreciate any information you could give me.
Thanks,
Bill
