Energy drinks contain functional ingredients with positive effects on the human body.
In general, energy drinks contain caffeine whose stimulating effects have been known for centuries. Recently the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), an independent authority responsible for assessing risks related to food and feed safety in the European Union, positively assessed the effects of caffeine on health, specifically the increased status of alertness, attention, physical endurance, endurance capacity and the least effort in case of physical activity.
Energy drinks often contain different combinations of vitamins that have beneficial effects on health. EFSA positively evaluated the health effects of some B vitamins with respect to their contribution to normal metabolism, normal nervous system function, and reduction of tiredness and exhaustion. In addition, pantothenic acid, also a B vitamin, contributes to intellectual performance.
The mix of exciting and functional ingredients turns energy drinks into functional drinks with a useful effect for people who want to stay active. In order to meet the needs of consumers, energy drinks are available in different variants.
