I have Researched it.. And in Some places It does not Come from Animals.
But if you are in the US.. it might be otherwise..since most products in the US include Animal Ingredients..
I do know In most places "Red Bull' Is Vegan/Vegetarian friendly.
Like "UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ect"
There is no minimum age a child can buy an energy drink at a store. Many people disagree with this and think that energy drinks should be for adults 18+.
Energy drinks may cause serious health problems. Some are so potent it would be like drinking many cups of coffee which contains caffeine. Some say that more studies should be done because the effects of drinking energy drinks are unclear.
I know there are more than 37 flavors not including no fear, the lean, and sobe life water just go to www.sobebev.com or google to look for sobebev.com
Rockstar energy drinks was publicly launched in 1998 by Russel Weiner, who happened to be the son of a conservative talk show host. At the time, energy drinks were one of the fastest growing segments of US beverages, making Rockstar incredibly popular.
Because it contains Chuck Norris's DNA, known to transform teens into apes.
How sad.
Taurine is an amino acid that regulates water and minerals in your blood, as well as has antioxidant properties. Its found naturally in met, fish and many other food so few people actually need to take a supplement of taurine on the side. It is becoming increasingly popular with athletes who find it can help their performance at times. Taurine is considered a safe supplement, because your body only uses what it needs and the rest is flushed out through your kidneys. The research is still somewhat limited, so as with all supplements/additives moderation is probably best.
There are three kinds of "energy" drinks.
Each one fulfils a different function.
Firstly you have straight forward energy drink such as Red Bull. Not everyone reacts well with them, most kids don't so never give them to under 16yr olds, and some states and countries have banned then due to the levels of caffeine and taurine. They're drunk in vast quantities elsewhere and should ideally be used sparingly and before you fatigue, not once you're fatigued. If you have a pre-existing heart complaint you should avoid Red Bull and the like especially if combined with elevated HR levels such as exercise or trauma.
Secondly you have isotonic / electrolytes drinks or powders that you add to water.
Thirdly you have carbohydrate drinks and powders which you again add to water.
I don't know any mtn bike racers, amateur or professional who don't use both of the above powders in their bladders / water bottles every training ride or race or event. That's how much we rate them.
an isotonic sports drink is a drink that is designed to be absorbed into the body as quickly as possible while reducing the risk of water toxicity
also iso sports drinks suck buy isotonix instead
Red bull is worst for you.
Its so dangerous it is even banned in some countries!!
energy drinks are so unhealthy because of the sugar and all of the caffeine. the ingredients are sugar, carbonation, tons of caffeine orange juice, natural flavor, and other things that are bad for you
there are a lot I don't know but here are a few... Monster,no fear,amp,nos,full throttle, venom , slap, power aid/rockstar
In effect it has been widely rumored that energy drinks or Mountain Dew (mainly the additive Yellow Dye No.5) can cause:
Sperm Sterility
Penis Shrinkage
Testicular Shrinkage
Some sort of genital cancer
and etc...
Oddly enough the high contents of Taurine, Guanine, Caffeine, and various other hard to pronounce chemical compounds have not proven conclusively that this is true. In fact in certain studies caffeine has been found to correlate with catalyzing sperm mobility (making your boys swim faster). As in any other products, moderation will usually ensure less likelihood of uncommon side effects so don't go nuts.
The only studies to show a negative effect are related to heart health and obesity/diabetes related articles.
The energy drink that is most efficient for sports is Cubra due to the reason that cubra

Energy drinks have become so popular because marketers know how to exploit the beliefs of the public by appealing to the less knowledgeable consumer and consumers with weaker self esteem. In addition, many of the drinks contain ingredients that create a physical or psychological addiction.
No, that would be illegal. However all energy drinks contain a ridiculously high dose of caffeine as their main active ingredient. Caffeine is unregulated.
Energy drinks containing ephedra may make you test positive for stimulants as ephedra is a precursor to methamphetamine. In the United States, ephedra is illegal in over-the-coutner energy drinks and other products.
Legally available energy drinks are a mixture of sugars, B-vitamins, amino acids, and caffiene. With the exception of the caffiene, all these supplements are things your body normally needs, but not in the high doses provided in the beverage. They may make you test positive for internal metabolic disorders, but not illegal drugs.
Kind of. It's a an aminoethanesulfonic acid found in bile in the lower intestine and also in animal tissue. It can be found in lots of animals, including humans. However, the taurine used in energy drinks is a synthetic.
I don't think so. I looked up the meaning of the word "taurine" and it said "of or like a bull; bullish." I think the drink Red Bull (an energy drink) contain taurine. I doubt if they would put bulls urine in a drink, and if they did there would surely be a large number of complaints to the health and safety department.
ajh1357@AOL.com answer: actually taurine derives from the word Taurus which means bull and the reason they called it that is because scientists found it in bull bile and extracted the ingredient and they found that it has many health uses such as weight loss and to help fight fatigue and that's why its found in most all energy drinks such as "Redbull" and "monster".
