Red Bull

Try the Rip It, kinda tastes like R.B. but better. I drink diet Mt. Dew 2-3 a day so caffeine doesn't bother me I think it is the amount of B vitamins and Taurine these drinks have rather than the caff. that helps?

Tell me more... what exactly is taurine and what does it do...?

Now, wait a minute- you say this Red Bull stuff has caffeine in it? What else does it have?

I'd love to try it, but caffeine and me aren't a good match. Hmmm are we doing an alternative to the bad word: steroids?

Thanks V! Am I correct in assuming that it also has caffeine?

[Veronica]

Yes, it also has caffeine and a lot of the B vitamins.

Red Bull lists the ingredients on their website. If you click on the items in red, you can find out more about them.

Thanks V - interesting stuff. It actually has less caffine in it that I was led to believe. Interesting about Taurine - that's where it gets its name Bull, from the Taurus/ Taurine.

Apparently Red Bull is illegal in France - something to do with the combination of caffine & taurine which can have adverse effects on some people, ...but probably only if you drank 100's of cans of it.
