What are the components of Energy Drink?
Energy drinks have large amounts of caffeine, added sugars, and vitamins. Some contain approved stimulants, which include guarana, taurine, and L-carnitine, often in much larger quantities than are seen naturally in food.
- Guarana is a bean produced in South America that contains over twice the caffeine as coffee beans.
- Taurine is an amino acid seen in meat and fish. Your body utilizes taurine to regulate energy levels.
- L-carnitine is an amino acid that helps your body turn fat into energy.
