Energy Drinks Vs. Eurogenics Like Modafinil

Energy drinks are beverages whose producers advertise that they "boost energy."

Red Bull is just one of the many brands of energy drink that is available today in grocery stores, convenience stores and vending machines.

The advertisers usually do not emphasize that the "energy" is derived from the sugar (high fructose corn syrup) they contain, which is the main ingredient in most of the (after water of course) but instead attribute the increased energy to a variety of stimulants and vitamins.

Energy drinks generally contain methylxanthines (including caffeine), B vitamins, and herbs.

Other commonly used ingredients are carbonated water, guarana, yerba mate, acai, and taurine, plus various forms of ginseng, maltodextrin, inositol, carnitine, creatine, glucuronolactone, and ginkgo biloba.

There are a few diet energy drinks available, mainly offered by the larger beverage companies, and the sugar is replaced by artificial sweeteners but the staple of all these drinks is still present... caffeine.

A common ingredient in most energy drinks, caffeine is often present in the form of guarana or yerba mate which are natural sources of this stimulant.

Most people know that caffeine is the stimulant that is found in coffee and tea, most people don't know that energy drinks contain about three times the amount of caffeine as cola.
