how does 5 hour energy work?
In: Biology
Caffeine mostly. They like to advertise that in only contains as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, but they don’t tell you that it’s a super caffinated extremely strong cup of coffee or a really large one such with twice as much caffeine as a normal 8 oz cup. And it’s way smaller.
in addition to that it contains an overdose level of several vitamins that may or may not keep you more alter as a side effect. Overdoses are still not good though, even if your body can generally handle it. Other various ingredients are equally questionable, but may contribute, or may not.
It contains a boatload of caffeine, and a couple chemicals which may be stimulants.
Probably best avoided.
It doesn’t, really. It’s got “about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee”, as the adverts say, and an overdose of niacin so that you get a “niacin rush” which makes your pulse race and otherwise make you *feel like* you’ve had some Dexedrine or done a line of marching powder. It doesn’t have real stimulant properties. At least your typical energy drink has some water in it so it hydrates you…
The primary thing is a crapload of caffeine. As a secondary effect, there’s a huge amount of vitamin B12, which is used in metabolizing nutrients in your cells.
