Hello,

A friend of mine recently took a look at the side of his energy drink and asked if I could help him find out exactly what the contents of the drink were, and what actual benefits they would provide for him?


The bottle states it contains

Ginseng
Guarana &
Taurine

With a 6 Complex of vitamin B
Kilojoules per 330 ml is 627

Nutritional Information / 100 ml
Energy(kj) 190
Protein (g) 0.4
Carbohydrates (g) 12
Fat (g) 0.0
Riboflavin B2 (mg) 1.8
Niacin B3 (mg) 15
Panlothenic Acid B5 (mg) 3
Vitamin B6 (mg) 3.6
Inositol B8 (mg) 38
Vitamin B12 (mcg) 3.6
Glucuronolactone (mg) 18
Guarana (mg) 15
Ginseng Panax (mg) 60
Taurine (mg) 420
Caffeine (mg) 45


Personally the Taurine seems a bit high to me, I guess I would have to google these substances to find out more? But any general tips on energy drinks would be appreciated
