Is it harmful to drink eagle claw energy drink?

Talon energy drinks are harmless to the body in the short term as long as they are not excessive. In the long run, the main negative impact comes from the large amount of caffeine contained in energy drinks. Because most teenagers have no drug tolerance to caffeine, they are more likely to have adverse reactions. If teenagers or children drink 2 bottles of energy drinks every day, it may pose a threat to health.

When taking a large amount of energy drinks during strenuous exercise, the combined effect of caffeine and taurine may lead to myocardial ischemia and induce coronary artery spasm.

Excessive intake of energy drinks can lead to serious neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity, such as hallucination, epilepsy, coma, arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy and even cardiac arrest. Another study found that the intake of energy drinks can strongly aggravate platelet aggregation, reduce vascular endothelial function and make endothelial function disorder. In addition, intake of energy drinks can also induce epilepsy and ischemic stroke.

Besides, the most dangerous way for teenagers to drink energy drinks is to mix energy drinks with alcohol. Most cases related to energy drinks intake (including sudden death, coronary artery spasm, tachycardia, severe arrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation) are related to excessive intake of energy drinks and/or mixed use with alcohol.

The principle of energy drinks:

The mechanism of energy drinks is more diverse than coffee and tea. Besides caffeine, there are many kinds of amino acids, B vitamins, sugar and so on. These components are important components in the process of sugar metabolism, which can accelerate energy synthesis and transformation and provide more energy supply for the human body in a short time, so energy drinks are the first and third mechanisms.

Both tea and coffee contain caffeine. Although caffeine does not provide energy, it is a central nervous system stimulant, aiming at the third mechanism. The anti-fatigue principle of caffeine is that the human body will produce a substance called adenosine (one of the neurotransmitters) after fatigue. When adenosine binds to a specific receptor in the brain, it is equivalent to telling the brain that you are tired.

The molecular structure of caffeine is similar to adenosine, so it can also bind to this receptor, which is equivalent to cutting off the fatigue signal transmission and making the brain unconscious of fatigue, which is called "refreshing". Caffeine does not change the essence of fatigue, and may also cause fatigue rebound after the drug has passed.
