Energy Drinks in Beverages

What are the different active ingredients in energy drinks?

Most energy drinks feature caffeine as the main stimulant, but other ingredients may include taurine and guarana. Guarana is similar to caffeine in its ability to stimulate mental activity and keep you awake, while taurine enhances the stimulant effects of both ingredients. Many energy drinks also contain sugar to sweeten the taste and give you a quick boost of energy.

How many energy drinks can I drink daily?

Health professionals suggest only one energy drink per day to avoid high doses of caffeine and sugar, both of which can cause heart palpitations and other negative health effects. If you drink them regularly, you’ll be able to save money by buying a multipack to keep in the refrigerator to last the week.

Do fizz powders work the same as regular energy drinks?

You can add powdered or liquid fizz packs to cold water for flavor and an energy boost. They are also caffeine-based, like the drinks that come in cans but often have extra vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. Energy boost packets are easy to carry around with you and don’t need to be refrigerated.
