An article from Men'sHealth, puts some of these claims to rest. Every can of Red Bull as well as some of the other energy drinks, like AMP Energy and Sobe Adrenaline Rush to name a couple, boasts this ingredient. Can it spike your performance, hone your concentration, and keep you up for hours? Answer: No. Taurine is an amino acid that researchers at Weill Cornell Medical found that it might work more as a sedative than as a stimulant.
Be wary of the amt of sugar contained in some of the drinks as well as the level of caffeine. Too much sugar can give an initial jolt but cause a sugar crash that comes a couple of hours after taking it. Too much caffeine, however, could cause headaches, sleeplessness, nausea, hallucinations, and a spike in blood pressure.
