KSI was criticised early in his YouTube career for repeatedly making jokes about sexual assault in his videos. While the ingredients vary slightly from flavour to flavour, the two main ingredients in Prime Hydration are filtered water and coconut water from concentrate.

Some retailers and consumers are also taking advantage of the scarcity and hype by selling the drinks at a higher price.Sports drinks] offer very little benefit to people who are not participating in endurance sport and really shouldn't be encouraged for individuals who are not doing a lot of physical exercise, because you're not going to get any benefit." Who are Logan Paul and KSI? Griffith University sports dietitian Professor Ben Desbrow said the consumption of highly caffeinated drinks had a range of physiological and cognitive effects, including insomnia, increased breathing and heart rate, and restlessness.

This has lead to a number of schools across Australia outright banning the products from their grounds. We have a very confused general population on what good sports nutrition actually looks like. They tend to think it needs to be in a supplemental form, but the athletes I work with have a food-first policy," Professor Desbrow said.
