“…Moreover, repeated intakes of an ED [8.3 oz of a Red Bull ED (Red Bull GmbH) 4 times over 24 h; 1 oz = 30 mL] increased blood pressure variables when compared with a water drink with equivalent amounts of caffeine (8 oz water with 80 mg caffeine) (24). On the basis of the aforementioned literature, it seems evident that EDs adversely affect the hemodynamic system, the magnitude and side effects of which depend largely on their caffeine and sugar content.…”

Globally, the popularity of energy drinks is steadily increasing. Scientific interest in their effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems in humans is also expanding and with it comes a growing number of case reports of adverse events associated with energy drinks. The vast majority of studies carried out in the general population report effects on blood pressure and heart rate. However, inconsistencies in the current literature render it difficult to draw firm conclusions with regard to the effects of energy drinks on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular variables. These inconsistencies are due, in part, to differences in methodologies, volume of drink ingested, and duration of postconsumption measurements, as well as subject variables during the test. Recent well-controlled, randomized crossover studies that used continuous beat-to-beat measurements provide evidence that cardiovascular responses to the ingestion of energy drinks are best explained by the actions of caffeine and sugar, with little influence from other ingredients. However, a role for other active constituents, such as taurine and glucuronolactone, cannot be ruled out. This article reviews the potentially adverse hemodynamic effects of energy drinks, particularly on blood pressure and heart rate, and discusses the mechanisms by which their active ingredients may interact to adversely affect the cardiovascular system. Research areas and gaps in the literature are discussed with particular reference to the use of energy drinks among high-risk individuals. Adv Nutr 2016;7:950-60.

“…In a previous article, Kurtz et al 6 studied a small number of patients where they compared caffeinated energy shots with non-caffeinated energy shots and found a significant increase in peripheral and central blood pressures. 6 Franks et al 7 compared energy drinks versus caffeine supplementation on 24-h blood pressure monitoring. They found that energy drink supplementation increased the 24-h mean and daytime blood pressures compared with caffeine only.…”

“…They found that energy drink supplementation increased the 24-h mean and daytime blood pressures compared with caffeine only. 7 Another study by Steinke et al 2 evaluated 15 healthy volunteers and looked at baseline ECG and vitals after consuming energy drinks for 5 days. That study did not find any changes in QTc interval, but they noticed an increase in heart rate by 5-7 bpm and an increase in systolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg.…”

ABSTRACT. Energy drinks have become one of the fastest growing beverages in the United States, and are very popular among teens and young adults. The objective of this prospective study was to determine if consuming 5-hour ENERGY s drinks that contain both caffeine and taurine can cause any hemodynamic and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes on relatively healthy individuals when compared with a caffeine-free control group. We evaluated 15 healthy volunteers and looked at baseline ECG and vitals after consuming energy drinks for 5 days. We performed a survey among our hospital co-workers, peers, and colleagues and found that the 5-hour ENERGY s drink was the number one choice of energy drink. To our knowledge, there are no detailed studies evaluating the arrhythmogenic and hemodynamic effects of this energy drink using several non-invasive modalities.

Abstract:In modern times in all age groups energy supplements containing different amounts of Caffeine and Taurine are applied. Caffeine is purine alkaloid, which stimulates central nervous system action, enhances the strength and frequency of the cardiac contractions and increases the excretion of urine. Taurine is a sulfur containing amino acid, which possesses many fundamental biological roles including: effect on synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, cardiotropic action, antioxidant and anticonvulsant activity, improvement of energy processes, stimulation of reparative processes in tissues, protection of eyes cataract, decrease of cholesterol and stimulation of immune system. The combination of Caffeine and Taurine provide benefit due to obtaining synergism of pharmacological effects in increasing of physical activity, stimulation of brain action, cognition, memory and attention. In connection with the significant enlarging of the consumption of energy drinks, especially by children and young people in recent years the requirements for regulation and control of the labeling of these products in many countries are enlarged. In many food additives Caffeine and Taurine are added in not labeled high concentrations, which can provoke and increase their side effects. High consumption of Caffeine enhances its adverse effects on body: anxiety, headache, insomnia, nervousness, respiratory disorders, tachycardia, tremor, dehydration. In children the adverse reactions of Caffeine in much lower doses than adults are occurred. In high concentrations Taurine has adverse effects on brain activity and can induce psoriasis. The result of combination of Caffeine and Taurine is associated with increased diuretic effect and loss of water and salts from the body, especially in children and young people. Because of these facts the quality and quantity control of included compounds in food supplements is important for their health safety.

Comparison of the Effects of Energy Drink Versus Caffeine Supplementation on Indices of 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure

Abstract: Single-day energy drink supplementation increased mean 24-hour and daytime BP compared to caffeine control in this pilot study. Additional research is warranted to better understand the hemodynamic effects of energy drink consumption.
