Energy drinks (EDs) are commonly used as a dietary supplement by young adolescents and adults. They are often used as a source of energy in order to enhance physical and mental performance. EDs contain a variety of substances, but caffeine is the main component. Safety has been the biggest concern associated with consuming EDs.
Unlike coffee, energy drinks don’t just contain caffeine; they’re full of additives that act as stimulants – such as guarana, taurine and L-carnitine – which intensify the effects of caffeine, explains Dr. Fischman. There’s also typically more caffeine concentrated into one canned energy drink versus an 8-ounce mug of coffee, says Dr. Ho.
Caffeinated products are marketed in newer ways, fueling concerns about health consequences of caffeine exposure. We present implications associated with consumption of caffeine and vitamin-rich energy drinks among breastfeeding women. Product safety, labeling, common ingredients, potential interactions, and clinical implications are discussed.
According to the review by Jee et al., coffee/caffeine neuroprotective effects seem to be broader and sex- and age-specific. Indeed, they concluded that caffeine consumption reduces the risk of stroke, dementia, and depression in women and that of PD in men. Nevertheless, it may increase sleep disorders and anxiety disorders in adolescence in
In order to assess the health effects of EBs, a cohort of 23 firefighters was randomly selected to participate in a double-blind crossover study that measured cardiac and hydration effects of both an EB and a placebo beverage (PB) over a 3 hour period, which included a 30
Energy drinks (ED) are nonalcoholic beverages that have caffeine as their most common active substance. The rapid expansion of ED consumption has created concern in the scientific community as well as in the public opinion. We report a psychotic episode probably triggered by ED abuse in a young adult without previous psychotic disorders. We have reviewed the literature regarding the
effects of energy drinks, especially the caffeine contained in them, following research which showed that young people in the UK are the biggest consumers of energy drinks in Europe for their age. We wanted to understand whether the caffeine in energy drinks had a negative health effect on young people, and explore whether the decision taken by
