Energy drinks fuel late-night study sessions for students and help people stay awake during late night hours. From Monster to CRUNK to XS and 5-Hour energy drink, the ingredients range from B vitamins, ginseng, milk thistle, guarana and gingko. Some of the drinks contain caffeine and sugar, while others are formulated with artificial sweeteners.
Rockstar Energy Drink
This energy drink contains ginseng, guarana, gingko and milk thistle, all to help increase your energy level. The milk thistle has not been documented to boost energy. This energy drink is also available in a sugar-free version and a no-carb version.
Rockstar entered the market in 2001 and comes in three different sizes and one alcoholic version.
Monster Energy Drink
Monster contains caffeine, glucose and guarana, which are the main sources of energy. According to the Weightloss website, Monster doesn't always produce consistent results in providing energy to those who drink it. Monster comes in a low-carb version and contains B-vitamins according to the EnergyFanatics website.
Because of the high caffeine and sugar content, a person who drinks Monster experiences an energy slump once the sugar boost ends.
GURU Energy Drink
GURU contains no taurine and no preservatives. Only the original and sugar-free GURU are carbonated--other formulations of GURU are non-carbonated.
EnergyFanatics says that GURU tastes similar to organic fruit juice without the bittersweet herbal flavor found in other energy drinks. For this reason, EnergyFanatics recommends this energy drink for those who are health-conscious and who want an energy drink that tastes organic.
5-Hour Energy Drink
This energy drink contains little or no sugar and is full of ingredients--unnamed--that give it the ability to provide a high degree of energy. This energy drink comes in a small container that holds only two ounces, which get into your system right away.
FRS Health Energy Drink
The biggest source of energy from FRS Health energy drink is quercetin. This energy drink has only 15 calories and is full of antioxidants. The consumer who drinks FRS Health energy drink receives the same boost of energy as if he had eaten several servings of fruits or vegetables. This drink contains green tea extract, grape juice and orange juice. Vitamins include B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and vitamin E, beta carotene, sucralose and caffeine.
XS Energy Drink
This energy drink is low in carbohydrates and calories, and, except for the Gold Energy Plus, these drinks have no sugar. The main vehicle for the energy boost comes from the B-complex vitamins, giving the consumer endurance energy.
According to EnergyFanatic, the negative to XS Energy drink is that the B-complex vitamins are synthetic, not natural and the amount of B12 provides 4,900 percent of the daily value; Gold Energy provides a whopping 8,000 percent of the daily value of B12.
CRUNK Energy Drink
CRUNK energy drink provides, not only an energy boost, but immune system support. While CRUNK contains ginseng and guarana, it doesn't provide the same boost as other energy drinks, probably because it serves more than one purpose for the consumer.
Xylence Xenergy Drink
Xylence Xenergy drink provides the B vitamins to give energy for endurance for its consumers. This energy drink provides a little less energy boost than other drinks, but it has no sugar and is low in calories and doesn't have any side effects. For those who don't want to use artificial sweeteners, Xylence does have an artificial sweetener in the ingredients.
Bawls Energy Drink
Bawls energy drink is high in the energy supplement guarana. Bawls gives its drinkers long-lasting energy, making it good for students and employees working the night shift who need to stay up into the early morning hours.
Full Throttle Energy Drink
Coca-Cola bottles Full Throttle and has been doing so since 2004. The energy provided by Full Throttle comes from energy blends, sugar, caffeine and B vitamins. According to the reviewer from EnergyFanatics, he experienced a slump in energy after he finished drinking the can. This energy drink suits people who aren't affected by caffeine and who are looking for a quick energy boost. Another drawback is that Full Throttle contains synthetic chemicals.
