Red Bull is an energy drink
Caffeine is well known for its stimulating effects on the human body and mind. Even ancient civilisations consumed it from natural sources like tea, coffee, cacao beans & cola nuts.
To this day caffeine is naturally present in more than 60 plants and contained in many foodstuffs such as coffee, tea and chocolate.
One of caffeine's primary sites of action in the human body is its stimulating effect on cognitive functions. Caffeine helps to improve concentration and increase alertness.
One 250ml can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains 80mg of caffeine.
Taurine is an amino acid, naturally occurring in the human body and present in the daily diet. It is involved in a wide range of biological processes.
Taurine is found in high concentrations in muscle, brain, heart and blood. A person weighing 70 kg has approximately 70 g of taurine distributed throughout their body. Put another way, a 70 kg person naturally already has in his body 70 times the amount of taurine contained in one can of Red Bull Energy Drink.
Taurine is also contained in different foodstuffs like scallops, fish, poultry and most infant formulas.
In general, there are two types of vitamins: fat soluble and water soluble.
Red Bull contains water-soluble vitamins. Water soluble vitamins include the group of B vitamins, e.g. niacinamide (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, which are contained in Red Bull.
Sugars are well known carbohydrates and can be found in many foodstuffs from fruits and fruit juices to other beverages including energy drinks. Carbohydrates are basic nutrients consumed in the daily diet, and whether found in fruits or Red Bull Energy Drink your body processes these sugars the same way.
Red Bull Energy Drink contains 11g/100ml of sugars. This total amount of sugars is comparable to the sugar level in an equivalent amount of apple or orange juice.
For those who wish to have Red Bull's benefits without sugar, there is Red Bull Sugarfree.
