In Australia, the nutrition information label includes the amount of everything in the can - for 8.4 fl oz (250ml) cans, it has 1000mg of taurine (the same dosage as the supplement used in this video), 80mg of caffeine, 20mg of niacinamide, and 5mg of pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. I hope that helps anyone who is curious!

Totally changed my life. I tried drinking 2 of them in a row once and got really drowsy for the next like 5hrs. But anyway, in my research, I found that Taurine is really active in blood vessel dilation. For those who might not know what that means, It works to keep them the right diameter (this is one of the ways the body regulates blood pressure).

However if you're looking to be as healthy as possible then you're better off just taking taurine supplements and either laying off the caffeine or looking for a healthier source of it.

I mean caffeine is nice, but without nice beverage it's just not worth the effort. It's stimulant with pretty low effect and duration, if you drop caffeine after while you don't need it. I know this because I'm highly irregular drinker, sometimes I don't drink coffee/tea for couple days, sometimes it's one cup, sometimes it might even be up to 5 if I'm genuinely tried. As long as you don't have habit of drinking multiple cups a day regularly, in which case you can form slight addiction and can get headaches, caffeine is totally optional.

I drank one before a game of squash. I thought I was going to have heart attack 🤣🤣🤣

cocaine is a dopaminergic stimulant, which means it causes an increase of dopamine in the brain. for someone who likes skateboarding, the brain would look similar, same with video games, (sugar), social media, even eating. the problem with cocaine is that it is almost a full DAT (dopamine reuptake transporter) inhibitor, meaning that it keeps dopamine in the synapse of neurons much longer than it’s supposed to be there, signaling to the body that the “activity” of cocaine is wayyyyy too good, and when it is not present, the body feels that much worse. twisting facts and spreading misinformation like this is very harmful, please consider actually doing research and look into things before trying to educate people :)

It is not recommended to consume more than one energy drink per day. Consuming 5 energy drinks per day is excessive and can lead to a number of negative health effects. Energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine and other stimulants, which can cause symptoms such as increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and insomnia, as well as more serious effects such as heart attack, stroke and even death in some cases. Additionally, consuming excessive amounts of sugar and artificial ingredients can lead to weight gain and other health problems. It's important to be mindful of the amount of energy drinks you consume and to always follow the recommended serving sizes on the packaging. It's better to consult with a healthcare professional or a dietitian if you have any concern regarding your caffeine intake.

Taurine is produced for companies like Red Bull and other energy drink manufacturers through a process called chemical synthesis. This process involves the use of various chemicals and raw materials to create taurine in a laboratory setting. Typically, the process begins with the use of a precursor chemical such as sulfonic acid, which is then combined with other chemicals and catalysts to create taurine. The process can be done through different routes, for example, the most common route is using sulfonic acid and ethylene oxide, and other routes use aziridine and cysteine. The resulting taurine is then purified, dried and packaged for use in energy drinks and other products. The taurine that is used in energy drinks is considered to be safe and is generally recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

My Redbull can says the following per 100ml: Energy 193kJ (45kcal), Protein 0g, Carbohydrate 11g, Total sugar 11g, Fat 0g, Sodium 0.04g, Niacin 8mg, Pantothenic Acid 2mg, B6 2mg, B12 2ug. Caffeine 32mg and Taurine 400mg.
