Health Effect and Population Health Concerns of Energy Drink Consumption in the Youth

Abstract

Until the present time, little research and studies have exposed the physiological or synergistic effects of the individual amounts that are used in the manufacture of energy drinks.Moreover, the results that were reached through the experimental studies were not comprehensive and sometimes contradicted each other, as some studies showed an improvement in the state of mental attention, reaction times, and focus when consuming energy drinks.While some other studies showed no improvement compared to taking caffeine or glucose alone, one of the 14 studies showed a significant effect of a whole mixture of energy drinks compared to the effect of glucose, caffeine, and herbs alone.That the mixture led to enhanced cognition while individual ingredients did not work on it, the combination of caffeine and Tourainemay work on a marked decrease in heart rate at the beginning, and in this study measured both urea, uric acid, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol, and sugar and found an increase in all measured parameters except sugar.
