5 hour energy drink, Do you like it?

5 hour energy drink is that drink that comes in one of those teeny tiny bottles. Its claim that it will provide you with 5 hours of energy. So how can a energy drink in a bottle so small claim to do so much.

Of course these claims are made based on the ingredients of 5 hour energy. 5 hour energy has a significant amount of caffeine in every bottle. The amount of caffeine it contains is about the same as a premium cup of coffee.

Other ingredients include large amounts of B. vitamins. B. vitamins help your body convert carbohydrates, proteins, starches and fats into energy.

What sets apart 5 hour energy drink from other energy drinks is it contains no sugars. By containing no sugar you will not get the patented crash that other energy drinks provide.

There maybe side effects associated with 5 hour energy drink. If you are experiencing anything out of the ordinary that you think may be caused by this energy drink please leave me a comment below.

Red Bull, The Risks and Side Effects

Red Bull energy drinks, I think most of us have at least tried them.  Maybe you have one before you go to work, or before you have a workout. I have even had them mixed with alcohol for a tastey drink at my local bar.Well here is a thought, are they good for you? Do they have any side effects you should be worried about? Red Bull for starters is not a healthy drink for you, in fact it is one of the worst things you can put into your body.  Now I’m not saying if you have the occasional Red bull you’re at risk.  Most things are ok in moderation.  I’m talking to the people that rely on them every day or even a few times a week just to get through a day of work.

It’s really no different than smoking, you can get addicted to Red Bull.  As a side effect from Red Bull you could notice a rapid heart rate, upset stomach, or even ulcers.  Some people can even notice a mood change as a side effect from Red Bull.

If you’re a parent, and any of your children are drinking any of these energy drinks that are on the market, you may want to keep a close eye on them.  Don’t let them drink these things like Red Bull every day.  One a week at most.  Show them that there are plenty of ways to get a boost of energy.  A glass of orange juice in the morning is a great way to kick start the day, and even a glass at lunch time will do wonders to get through the rest of the day.

Remember most things are ok in moderation.  Red Bull is no different.  If you’re having any side effects from Red Bull please leave a comment to let other readers know.

Thanks to everyone who has left a short message.  Lay off the Red Bull!
