Do Energy Drinks Really Help When You’re Working Out?
If there is one drink that causes a lot of controversy, it’s the energy drink.

Energy drink manufacturers claim that energy drinks give energy through the high amounts of caffeine and other “special” ingredients such as taurine and ginseng. The fact is that it is only the caffeine and sugar in energy drinks that provide that quick and temporary boost of energy; the other ingredients are not scientifically proven in any way to help give drinkers more energy, except maybe in much higher quantities than you’ll find in energy drunks.
