Of course, not everyone who drinks Red Bull will experience an increase in high-risk behaviors. Still, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks, especially in younger adults and when alcohol is involved. May lead to caffeine overdose and possible toxicity In some countries like the Philippines, Red Bull also comes in 150ml (5.07 fluid oz.) and 250 ml. (8.45 fluid.oz.) glass bottles. In Australia, there is the 330 ml. (11.16 fluid. oz.) aluminum bottle. Why does Red Bull use tall and slim cans? One study found that college-aged students who drank energy drinks and alcohol together were more likely to drink and drive and experience serious alcohol-related injuries than when alcohol was consumed alone ( 25). Current recommendations call for limiting caffeine to 100 mg or less per day in adolescents aged 12–19. Therefore, drinking more than one 8.4-ounce (260-ml) serving of Red Bull could increase the risk of caffeine overdose in this age group ( 28). Though Red Bull remains a popular beverage, research suggests that it may negatively affect your health. Can increase blood pressure and heart rate

Additionally, while research is limited, drinking Red Bull could worsen heart health and be life-threatening in individuals with pre-existing high blood pressure or heart disease ( 11). May increase type 2 diabetes risk Red Bull Energy Drinks special formula contains ingredients of high quality: Caffeine, Taurine, B-Group Vitamins, Sugars, Alpine Water. The amount of sugars in a can of Red Bull Energy Drink is comparable to the level of sugars in an equivalent amount of apple or orange juice - 11 g per 100 ml.Energy Drink - high caffeine content. Not recommended for children or pregnant or breast-feeding women (32 mg/100 ml). Consume moderately.

While current recommendations call for limiting caffeine to no more than 400 mg per day in healthy adults, cases of caffeine-related deaths have primarily been in individuals with unusually high intakes of 3–5 grams of caffeine per day ( 28, 31).As Red Bull is high in sugar, frequent and excessive intake may increase your risk. May increase high-risk behavior 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). While the exact composition varies by country, additional ingredients in Red Bull include sugar, carbonated water, baking soda, citric acid, magnesium carbonate, glucuronolactone, and artificial colors and flavors ( 1). Red Bull comes in 4 sizes but many think it’s 3. Red Bull can sizes have the following can dimensions: One 5-day test-tube study found that exposing human tooth enamel to energy drinks for 15 minutes, 4 times a day resulted in significant and irreversible loss of tooth enamel ( 17).

Taurine: Taurine is an amino acid, naturally occurring in the human body and present in the daily diet. It is involved in a wide range of biological processes. 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). While safe doses of caffeine vary by individual, current research recommends limiting caffeine to 400 mg per day or less in healthy adults ( 28).While the ingredients in Red Bull may provide a boost of energy, they may also cause short- and long-term side effects — especially in larger quantities. Summary In fact, a review in 310,819 adults found that drinking 1–2 servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per day was associated with a significant 26% increased risk of type 2 diabetes ( 14). Symptoms of caffeine overdose and toxicity can include nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, anxiety, rapid heart rate, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and seizures ( 31). Summary Despite these increases, moderate and occasional intake of Red Bull is unlikely to cause serious heart problems in healthy adults. 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).
