Be careful on drinking more than two a day. They actually put taurine in red bull which is a derivative of stomach acids(bile) from a bull hence its name. Its disgusting but thats what gives you the buzz. May cause heart problems down the road.

Vagina juice from urban crackheads mixed with a hint of cherry I think is what the proprietary blend is

they are bad for you, seriously. Addicting too. They don't even give me any kinda of energy still yet I still drink at least one a day. My friends was healthy as can be and he started having stomach and heart problems, went to the dr and they told him it was the 2+ red bulls he drank a day. I too had some stomach issues and stopped drinking them. The problems went away right away. I started drinking them again and they came back. I went back to drinking them though. Addicted.

read the comments.

dude there's a reason why energy drinks have now been banned in several countries (most Scandanavian countries, Switzerland, and more to follow). Only reason the US hasnt banned them yet is $$$$ and the lobbying power of the beverage industry.

so what about all the studies citing the BENEFITS of taurine?



they are all frauds???

[itchypickle]

I'm more of a Monster drink guy myself. No energy boost from them but I just like the flavor of the blue ones.

Thanks for the entertainment.

Taurine does not provide the 'buzz' you get from Red Bull. It is the copious amounts of caffeine. If anything, id be worried about the Glucuronolactone in the drink. But fuk me, it sure tastes good.

Its the combination of both taurine & caffeine that give energy drinks their boost:

Why is Taurine Added to Energy Drinks?The combination of taurine and caffeine is used to give energy drink consumers an energy buzz. Although taurine is not a stimulant like caffeine, some research suggests it can boost athletic performance which may be at the heart of its beneficial use in these beverages. Some evidence also suggests that, like caffeine, it gives people a taurine metabolism boost.

You said it yourself. Taurine is not a stimulant.

It is actually an amino acid. It would help metabolise the caffeine and other ingredients into the body. It probably also acts as a flavor enhancer/artifical sweetener. If anything Taurine is known as a sedative, which is the opposite of giving you a 'buzz'. In this sense, it is probably used to calm/focus the body to a more normal level to counteract the caffeine.

Red Bull is not an athletic drink, its an energy drink, so im not sure why you bring up improved athletic performance and how that is relevant. No serious athlete would use it for performance enhancement.

edit- sorry, i didn't realise you just found that comment on the web and pasted it in. Google is not always your friend.

[ttwarrior1]

uh the taurine is to prevent cramps

[showtiime]

a couple of girls I lived with used to work for them driving around that little car, used to drink that shi-t like water, had free cartons where they would be written off if 1 had a dent.

[Lookingtostart]

I prefer red bull instead of other energy drinks, other than the buzz you get throughout the day, it makes me less jittery than coffee and other caffeinated drinks.

Try drinking "Monster" and see how you feel!

[RubberKettle]

So much sugar and they taste like liquid smarties.

[srkac123]

In the words of Bob Saget's character in the movie Half Baked,

"........you ever sucked d!ck for Red Bull? "
