What Are Energy Drinks?

These are a type of non-alcoholic beverages. They are mainly made from caffeine, added sugar and some dietary supplements. The companies making them claim that all these compounds found in energy drinks can increase physical alertness, attention and energy.

Usually, energy drinks contain about 80mg of caffeine per 237ml, which is equal to an average cup of coffee. Now the problem is that many energy drink cans are larger than 237ml. Apart from this, some energy drinks also contain high amounts of caffeine.

Not only this, many energy drinks also contain herbal extracts like guarana, which is considered a natural source of caffeine. On an average, there is 40mg of caffeine per gram of guarana. Thus, such energy drinks contain excessive amounts of caffeine, which is not good for health. Excessive caffeine can cause high heart rate and anxiety.
