Do Energy Drinks Contain Active Components Other Than Caffeine?
By: Tom McLellan
Energy drinks (EDs) contain caffeine and are a new, popular category of beverage.

EDs often contain taurine, guaraná, ginseng, glucuronolactone, B-vitamins, and other compounds. A literature search using PubMed, Psych Info, and Google Scholar identified 32 articles that examined the effects of ED ingredients alone and/or in combination with caffeine on physical or cognitive performance.
