Side Effects of Energy Drinks

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.
