“…A significant connection between ED consumption and mental health problems among adolescents has been found in several studies. They were associated with a greater risk of moderate and serious levels of psychological distress, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts [ 66 ]. Similar findings were found in Korean adolescents who suffered from depression and suicide ideation, which were related to excessive ED consumption [ 67 ].…”

“…Similar findings were found in Korean adolescents who suffered from depression and suicide ideation, which were related to excessive ED consumption [ 67 ]. Although women are more vulnerable to mental health problems, studies presented that this association was stronger in males than females, possibly due to higher ED consumption among young men [ 66 , 67 ]. Moreover, some scientist started to recommend considering screening for ED use in assessments of mental health, especially for young men with diagnosed anxiety and stress symptoms [ 68 ].…”

Effects of Energy Drink Consumption on Physical Performance and Potential Danger of Inordinate Usage

The rise in energy drink (ED) intake in the general population and athletes has been achieved with smart and effective marketing strategies. There is a robust base of evidence showing that adolescents are the main consumers of EDs. The prevalence of ED usage in this group ranges from 52% to 68%, whilst in adults is estimated at 32%. The compositions of EDs vary widely. Caffeine content can range from 75 to 240 mg, whereas the average taurine quantity is 342.28 mg/100 mL. Unfortunately, exact amounts of the other ED elements are often not disclosed by manufacturers. Caffeine and taurine in doses 3–6 mg/kg and 1–6 g, respectively, appear to be the main ergogenic elements. However, additive or synergic properties between them seem to be implausible. Because of non-unified protocol design, presented studies show inconsistency between ED ingestion and improved physical performance. Potential side effects caused by abusive consumption or missed contraindications are the aspects that are the most often overlooked by consumers and not fully elucidated by ED producers. In this review, the authors aimed to present the latest scientific information on ED components and their possible impact on improving physical performance as well as to bring emphasis to the danger of inordinate consumption.

Objective: The objective of this research was Comparative neuroprotective effect of energy drinks in mice using various experimental animal models. Method:The Tail suspension test (TST), Forced swim test (FST) and Y-maze test were used to assess the antidepressant activity of the Energy drinks (Red bull, monster and enerzal) in mice. In addition, attempts have been conducted to explore the level of brain monoamine neurotransmitters like Dopamine and Serotonin using flame fluorimeter. Result:The study of energy drinks on the gross behaviour of mice indicated their CNS antidepressant effect. Furthermore, their significant (p<0.0001) antidepressant property was estimated by obtaining its decreased immobility time of mice in tail suspension and forced swim tests. It has also exhibited significant cognitive property performed in Y-maze apparatus. Biochemical study showed their potentiation in the brain dopamine and serotonin concentration significantly (p<0.001) in mice which concludes the mechanism behind their CNS depressant and cognitive properties Conclusion:The gross behavioural study indicated their antidepressant potentiality which was further confirmed by conducting FST and TST. Further the study showed the memory enhancement by the EDs using Y-maze apparatus but in lesser extent. Antidepressant drugs are well evident with property to increase dopamine and serotonin level and EDs were observed to potentiate significantly the brain dopamine and serotonin concentration in mice.

“…As such EDs are mainly a good combination of energy boosters and stimulants (Gilbert, 1984;Nehlig et al, 1992). The caffeine content of the EDs makes them psychoactive agents (Nehlig et al, 1992;Schneider and Benjamin, 2011) which is mainly known to activate the serotonin and noradrenaline neurones (Masengo et al, 2020;Chatterjee and Abraham 2019).…”

Objective: In the present society, the energy drinks (EDs) are used by general public and mainly by the sports persons. Though the caffeine content of EDs is creating health consequences on excess consumption, the present study targets their health benefits on central nervous system (CNS) focusing antidepressant and cognitive potentiality. The most typically used EDs have been selected for the study such as Red Bull, Monster and Enerzal for the present research. Methodology: The study started with in-silico studies to get information about the neurological receptor binding of the major and common chemical components of the EDs. The antidepressant study of energy drinks was carried out following FST (Forced Swim Test) and TST (Tail suspension test) methods. Their cognition effect was assessed by using Y-maze apparatus. Further, their mechanism of action was evaluated by estimating their effect on brain dopamine and serotonin level. Results: In-silico study revealed the enhanced agonistic binding of the major common components of the EDs to D2 and serotonin receptors. Further their significant (p<0.001) antidepressant property was estimated both in tail suspension and forced swim tests along with significant cognitive property.
