Are energy drinks safe for adults?

Consuming moderate amounts of caffeine is considered safe for adults. That means 100 mg to 200
mg of caffeine a day. There is about 95 mg of caffeine in 8 fl oz (237 mL) of brewed coffee.
Caffeine increases energy in adults and fights tiredness. But too much caffeine can cause
nervousness, feeling grumpy, an upset stomach, diarrhea, and headaches.

Performance
Caffeine has been shown to improve endurance and performance in high-intensity sports. But
research also notes that the improvement is mostly seen in trained athletes and may not be seen
in people who exercise casually. Research also notes that taking low to moderate doses of caffeine
produces the same improvement as taking higher doses.2
Alcohol
Adults and teens may mix energy drinks with alcohol. The caffeine in these drinks can make the
effects of alcohol harder to notice. People may feel they are not as intoxicated as they really are.
Mixing caffeine with alcohol may cause you to drink more, because the caffeine may keep you
awake longer.
Pregnancy

In small amounts, caffeine is considered safe for the developing baby (fetus). But if you're
pregnant, it's a good idea to keep your caffeine intake below 200 mg a day because:

More caffeine may be connected to a higher rate of miscarriage. There isn't enough
evidence to know for sure.

Caffeine can interfere with sleep for both you and the fetus.

Are sports drinks useful?
Water is usually the best choice before, during, and after physical activity.
You might benefit from a sports drink if you have sweated a lot during activities that are intense or
last a long time. For example, a runner or cyclist in a long-distance event could use a sports drink
to hydrate and replace electrolytes.
Sports drinks may contain sugars but have little nutritional value. They add calories. So if you're
not exercising long or hard, sports drinks could lead to weight gain. The sugars in these drinks can
also lead to dental problems.

RED BULL

Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Austriancompany Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987. In terms of
market share, Red Bull is the highest-selling energy drink in the world, with 5.387 billion cans sold
in 2013.
Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitzwas inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating
Daeng, which was first introduced and sold in Thailand by Chaleo Yoovidhya. He took this idea,
modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners,and, in partnership with Chaleo, founded
Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand. In Thai, daeng means red, and krating is the
large bovine called "gaur". Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can, while Krating Daeng is
in a gold shorter can. The two are different products, produced separately.
The Red Bull company slogan is "Red Bull gives you wings", and the product is marketed through
advertising, events (Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, Red Bull Air Race, Red Bull Crashed Ice),
sports team ownerships (RB Leipzig, FC Red Bull Salzburg,Red Bull Brasil, New York Red Bulls, Red
Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso), celebrity endorsements, and music, through its record label Red
Bull Records.
Energy drinks have been associated with health risks, such as masking the effects ofintoxication
when consumed with alcohol, and excessive or repeated consumption can lead to cardiac and
psychiatric conditions. However, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that an
adequate consumption of Red Bull and other popular energy drinks is safe and that the amount of
caffeine in standard Red Bull cans is unlikely to interact adversely with other typical constituents of
energy drinks or with alcohol. Energy drinks have the effects that caffeine and sugar provide, but
there is no distinct evidence that the wide variety of other ingredients has any effect.

Recommendations for Practice

When counseling clients who consume energy drinks and/or shots, share the following information
with them16:
Limit energy drink consumption to no more than 1 can (500 mL or 16.9 oz) per day.
Dont mix energy drinks with alcohol, as this can mask intoxication and may be extremely
dehydrating.
Rehydrate with water or an appropriately formulated sports drink after exercise or intense
physical activity.
If you experience an adverse reaction to an energy drink, report it to your health care
professional or organization.
If youre being treated for hypertension, avoid consuming energy drinks.
If you have a serious underlying medical condition, including coronary artery disease, heart
failure, or arrhythmia, consult with your physician before using energy drinks.15
