Red Bull Energy Drink 473 ml x12

Product Information

So, how many energy drinks is too many? According to experts, healthy adults should limit their energy drink intake to roughly one can per day because they are loaded with synthetic caffeine, sugar, and other unnecessary ingredients that can do more harm than good. As one small 8.4-ounce (260-ml) can of Red Bull provides 75 mg of caffeine, drinking more than 5 cans per day could increase your risk of caffeine overdose ( 2). Several studies in healthy adults have shown that drinking one 12-ounce (355-ml) can of Red Bull significantly increased blood pressure and heart rate levels within 90 minutes and up to 24 hours after consumption ( 6, 7, 8, 9).

Symptoms of caffeine overdose and toxicity can include nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, anxiety, rapid heart rate, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and seizures ( 31). Summary In fact, most people should avoid these beverages or limit their intake. Instead, try to consider healthier alternatives like coffee or tea to boost your energy levels. SummaryAdditionally, adolescents under the age of 19 may be at a greater risk of caffeine-related side effects ( 30). While safe doses of caffeine vary by individual, current research recommends limiting caffeine to 400 mg per day or less in healthy adults ( 28). Blood pressure and heart rate are two important measures for heart health, as increased levels have been associated with a higher risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart disease ( 4, 5).

Coffee has more caffeine than Red Bull, with around 100 mg per brewed 250 ml cup. However, the amount of caffeine in coffee may be influenced by the type of coffee beans, the level of roast, and the brewing method. Red Bull is well known for its energy-boosting properties, so much so that it has been crowned the best-selling energy drink brand since 2020. Why else is it said to “give you wings”?While strict guidelines are being devised to moderate the consumption levels, all adults who chose to drink energy drinks should not exceed more than one drink a day. If you do exceed, you are potentially increasing your sugar intake which can prove fatal. For children and younger adults, even a can is too much. Even when not paired with alcohol, observational studies indicate that in young adults, regular intake of energy drinks like Red Bull is linked to an increased risk of alcohol dependence and illicit drug use ( 22, 26, 27). Up to 400 mg of caffeine per day is generally safe. Still, drinking more than four, 8-ounce (240-ml) servings of energy drinks per day — or two, 16-ounce (480-ml) cans of Monster — may cause negative effects due to excess caffeine, such as headache or insomnia ( 9, 10). Many factors affect how much caffeine you have to consume for it to be dangerous and potentially life-threatening. As Red Bull is sugar-sweetened — providing 29 grams of sugar in one 8.4-ounce (260-ml) serving — drinking one or more servings per day could increase your risk of type 2 diabetes ( 2).
