<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > order</h1>

In a broad sense, functional drinks are reasonable proportions of nutrients in the beverage, drinks that meet the nutritional needs of some special groups, different functional drinks for different specific groups of people to drink, some for overtime fatigue need to refresh, some for post-exercise energy supplementation. It is mainly to regulate the function of the body, and is not intended to treat diseases.

The functional drink mentioned in this article is mainly aimed at the functional beverage that is anti-fatigue, and the core representative is the well-known Red Bull. Thirsty tired, drink Red Bull! It's almost a well-known slogan.

At present, anti-fatigue drinks are becoming more and more popular in China, after all, under the terms of overwork, overtime, 996, etc., more workers need functional drinks.

Today I will buy 11 functional drinks at my own expense, do a simple analysis, see what is the difference between them, who is more refreshing, who is the most cost-effective, more worthwhile to buy.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > what is the point of refreshing? </h1>

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > analyzed from the ingredient list</h1>

When determining what is most worth buying, we must first figure out, why functional drinks can be refreshing? After compiling the nutrition facts and ingredient lists of 11 functional drinks, I found a few interesting points.

I divided the ingredients in the ingredient list into three categories, namely functional ingredients, edible ingredients and food additives, which is my own classification for the convenience of writing articles, rigor is not enough, everyone don't mind.

Because auxiliary use materials and food additives are common in various beverages, I will not analyze them here, I will only analyze functional ingredients to see what they do.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > taurine and caffeine</h1>

Taurine, which many people think is the same as caffeine, is used to stimulate nerves, but it is not. The function of taurine in sports drinks is mainly reflected in the icon out, in fact, the core is to protect the retina, protect the heart muscle, and strengthen the ability of the brain to work, and the real stimulation of the nerve center is caffeine.

Caffeine, a xanthine alkaloid compound, is a central nervous system stimulant that can temporarily drive away drowsiness and restore energy, and is clinically used to treat neurasthenia and coma resuscitation. However, some people who are caffeinated intolerant, drinking caffeine, will have a rapid heartbeat, headaches, difficulty sleeping, and even vomiting.

According to Health Canada's recommendations, a healthy adult should not consume more than 6 mg/kg of caffeine per day. Why should I quote Health Canada's advice, because I only searched for this official information is more reliable, ah, all kinds of 300mg or 400mg on the Internet, not to talk about height and weight is completely unreasonable.

When you are a 45KG sister paper, it is reasonable to probably take no more than 270mg of caffeine intake, and if you are an 80KG man, it is more reasonable not to exceed 480mg. In addition, this is for most ordinary people, each person should be determined according to their own situation, drink a little uncomfortable advice or do not try.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > what's the point of refreshing? </h1>

Before understanding the function of these things, we must first know, when a person is tired, what kind of reactions will occur in the body?

After working long hours, lack of sleep or staying up late, people are first mentally weak. Then there will be some adverse reactions in the flesh, such as eye fatigue, resulting in decreased vision; decreased immunity, more likely to get sick; the heart is accelerated, prone to breathing problems and sudden death. Nutritionally, because of long-term labor, the body needs to consume energy at this time, and eating will absorb it efficiently, resulting in fat accumulation problems.

Therefore, when a person works for a long time continuously or does not recover enough from rest, it is not enough to solve the mental problem, and what should be solved should also include physical discomfort and lack of energy.

The picture above is all the functional ingredients in these 11 functional drinks, I have listed them, and simply explained their actual role. The red color on the right is the most used ingredient in functional drinks, and it is also the most core ingredient of functional drinks, including the most well-known taurine and caffeine. The most neglected is the vitamin B group, and the least understood is lysine and inositol.

From the above figure, we can see that the core ingredients of functional drinks actually contain three kinds of effects in it, or the formula idea of functional drinks is to solve the fatigue problem through the combination of three functions.

Caffeine stimulates nerves and refreshes everyone knows, please pay attention to point 1 and point 3, this is the reason why many functional drinks add a lot of sugar, accelerate metabolism, coupled with sugar supplementation, the body may be more energetic.

Therefore, functional drinks through the three effects of the formula, combined with a relatively high sugar content, so as to achieve a temporary refreshing function, this is the functional drink formula idea, that is, it is refreshing reason.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > the amount needed by the human body</h1>

Taking an adult man with a height of 180 and 80 KG as an example, in the case of no additional exercise in the case of normal commuting and no longer carrying out additional exercise, the daily calories are about 2000 kcal is more appropriate, according to the calculation of 6mg/kg, the total intake of caffeine does not exceed 480mg, and the amount of sugar is 25g. I will not repeat the picture of adult women in the above picture. It should be noted that the calorie calorie mentioned here is an estimate, everyone's muscle content is different, everyone as a reference is good, the same as a reference food calorie table as shown below.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > eleven functional drinks analysis</h1>

First of all, two points:

1. Health food is not a drug and cannot replace drugs to treat diseases;

2. The daily drinking amount I am here is a bottle for the standard, more standard recommendations to consult the manufacturer's customer service.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > Red Bull (Normal Edition</h1>).

Brief comment on:

Products that really open the door of the Concept of Refreshing Functional Drinks for the Chinese people, thirsty ~ tired ~ drink Red Bull! This advertising slogan is well known to women and children, from supermarkets to freezers in roadside kiosks, you can see the presence of Red Bull. Leaving aside the problems of origin, domestic production, and Thailand, we will only talk about commercial products.

Ingredient Analysis:

Red Bull ordinary version of the jar, did not mark the nutritional composition list, which I was surprised, the "Food Nutrition Label Management Specification" mandatory provisions, where the pre-packaged food label sold in china must be marked with food nutrients, after consulting Jingdong's Red Bull customer service, the answer is that Red Bull belongs to health care products, not beverages, so there is no need to mark the ingredients. Therefore, I hope that all the friends on duty understand that some refreshing functional drinks belong to health care products.

In terms of ingredients, Red Bull uses a combination of protection and metabolism + refreshing + energy supplementation, which is also the most common formula for functional drinks. There is also white sugar in the ingredient list, but the ordering is definitely not in the order of dosage, so it is not known how much white sugar is contained.

A bottle of Red Bull can provide taurine for 312.5mg, caffeine is 125mg, plus 125mg of inositol and lysine, vitamins also have a good ratio, as a whole is indeed a benchmark for functional drinks, the only drawback is that there is no label of nutrients, can not know the calorie and sugar content of the information. Through Taobao search to Red Bull's early packaging, if the ingredients have not changed, a bottle of Red Bull calories is about 139 calories, the amount of sugar is about 33g, and the overall calorie and sugar amount is not low.

palate:

The taste of Red Bull is actually very special, many people on the taurine functional drink taste of the establishment, but also from the Red Bull, not very sweet, there is a very unique aroma, drink once or twice will produce memories, and it seems that there will be a feeling of drinking and want to drink?

summary:

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > Red Bull (taurine-enhanced).</h1>

After the taste of taurine is liked by many people, everyone gradually knows the foreign version of Red Bull, the amount of taurine content is discussed by many people, so Red Bull Company has launched a taurine enhanced version of Red Bull, commonly known as blue can Red Bull, in fact, it is also a sense against the foreign version of Red Bull, after all, familiar friends know that the Thai version of Red Bull's taurine is many times more than the domestic ordinary version.

The enhanced version also has a capacity of 250ML, but it is made into a slender blue jar, which feels more powerful? I personally think that the blue can is more comfortable, the blue can in the product name is clear taurine reinforced type, then what is the difference with the ordinary yellow can?

As can be seen from the ingredient list of a single bottle, the total calories have increased a bit, and there are already 158 kcal after a bottle is drunk! The main taurine has almost tripled, reaching 925mg per bottle, while the caffeine, inositol, lysine and vitamin groups have decreased relatively, that is, a drink based on taurine function.

You can feel the taste of taurine more purely, and after drinking it, you can refresh your mind more from the comfort of your eyes and emotions, without the slight chicken blood feeling of the ordinary version. Caffeine-sensitive groups can consider this, as well as those who do not like to drink the ordinary version of Red Bull, who are very excited or have a beating heart, and whose eyes are very tired.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > claws (black cans</h1>).

Monster called Chinese Named Maust, and I thought The Claw sounded a bit more palatable. In the early years, when the devil's claws were not yet in the National Bank, all kinds of blowing and drinking the devil's claws on the Internet to play "wrestling" how strong the combat effectiveness was, it is estimated that it was some marketing means on the eve of the listing of the National Bank, and now that I think about it, I really grasped some points of the Chinese people.... I personally know this, it is purely playing abroad, I like the feeling of juice. The black can is the base of the Claw. In addition, the devil's claw can also be regarded as one of the earliest domestic guarana drinks to catch fire, and it seems to be the only one that catches fire.

After reading Red Bull's ingredient list, you can look at the ingredients of the black can of the devil's claw to know the difference between drinks and health products. Because it is a drink, a large amount of white sugar is added, and the sugar in a bottle of devil's claw black can has reached 24g, which is almost meeting the requirements of daily sugar. The total calories of a bottle are almost less than 100 kcal, which is relatively low. The total taurine is only 181mg, which is almost half less than the ordinary version of Red Bull, rather than saying that the special feature of the claw is that the sodium content is relatively high, what is the role of sodium? Only in functional drinks, its main role is to increase muscle excitability, strengthen cardiovascular function, accelerate energy metabolism, etc. There is no caffeine labeled in the claw, but the claw is a product containing guarana, and guarana is an ingredient that belongs to the caffeine class, but in the ingredient list and ingredient list, we do not see the existence of guarana, do not know what the reason is.

Some people say that it is delicious and tastes special juice... Some people say, so disgusting, weird smell. In fact, from my personal point of view, at the beginning of drinking is definitely not a happy taste, taurine + guarana taste, really not everyone can accept, so the audience of the devil's claw, even the object of publicity, are also male-dominated, in addition, the taste is special, which is also the reason why the devil's claw launched a variety of flavors, right? Because it is a sports drink, the rumors of the so-called increase in combat effectiveness before are actually true, but how much has been added...

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > claws (blue cans</h1>).

There are too many flavors of the devil's claws, and the blue jar belongs to the mango flavor.

Compared with the basic version of the black can, the blue can mainly reduces the sodium content, increases the content of L-carnitine and increases the inositol, further strengthens the athletic ability, the energy on a bottle reaches 105 kcal, slightly higher than the black can, the overall comparison of the black can seems to be a slight difference in the formula, I personally feel that in addition to the difference in taste, the actual feeling gap is not large, but the price is more expensive, you can come according to your liking.

The first instinct in the entrance is much better than the black screen, there is no such a rush of taste, and then you can smell the combination of orange + mango, because of the addition of bubbles, so there is a little bit of Coke that kind of choking feeling but not strong, it is really very suitable for sports to drink, and must be frozen to have some feelings.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > claws (white cans</h1>).

The Devil Claw White Jar is a model that focuses on low sugar and low calorie.

From the energy point of view, a bottle of white can energy is only 28 kcal, this calorie is very low, the total sugar is less than 7g, and then the core of this in taurine, sodium and L-carnitine (L-carnitine is L-carnitine), the role of L-carnitine in functional drinks is also to enhance the heart muscle and improve the sustainability of exercise, here you guys hope you understand, this is a good drink that is not fat and can make sports gain buff Oh.

The taste of juice soda has not changed, it is the taste of the sugar, the taste of the sugar substitute erythritol is still very obvious, after drinking there will be sweetness in the mouth, fortunately, the low calories meet the needs of fat people like me for sports drinks.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="76" > Dongpeng special drink</h1>

Dongpeng special drink is also a Jian brand product, there are a variety of packaging forms on the market, I have seen the canned special drink and the bottle of special drink is the same ingredient, so I only bought Dongpeng plus and Dongpeng special drink two. The first thing to say is Dongpeng special drink.

In terms of ingredients, Dongpeng is also the same formula idea as Red Bull, with caffeine + taurine + vitamin population, to achieve protection and promote writing + refreshing + energy supplementation, so the sugar is an important part of the Dongpeng special drink. Then look at the content of Dongpeng's formula, plus packaging, is there a feeling of what? Or can we call it Little Red Bull?

In addition, the Dongpeng bottle body does not indicate the energy, the energy is my own through the mint APP to find, calculate the calorie of a bottle is 90 punch card, the content of white sugar is about 22g, the overall calorie is barely OK, the sugar is not low.

Dongpeng can also feel the taste of taurine when drinking, but it will be more obvious that after getting used to Red Bull, the taste of taurine will feel a little different, and the taste of sugar can also be felt, the sweetness is heavier, and the overall taste is slightly general.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="85" > Dongpeng plus krypton</h1>

I admit that I didn't pay attention when I bought it, I thought it was nitrogen, and then I looked back and took a photo to find that it was added to the xenon...., but I can also see Dongpeng's attempts on different products.

Originally thought that the version of the radon will be the same as the Red Bull Blue Tank is a strengthened version of the Dongpeng special drink, the result of a look at the ingredient list, the functional ingredients have become sodium + taurine + vitamin group, completely without caffeine, that is, only to say that this drink he only has to protect the combination of metabolism and energy supplementation, more is a sports drink, not a refreshing drink, and the price is expensive

The overall calorie reached 173 kcal a bottle, this calorie is very high, the sugar content reached a nearly 43g amount, has exceeded our sugar intake standards, very typical sports drinks.

Light taurine drinks, coupled with the taste of sparkling water, are more inclined to the taste of juice, and individuals are not very accustomed to it.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="94" > start force (canned</h1>).

Qili is a functional drink produced by Wahaha in 2012, there are currently two kinds of bottles and cans on the market, and it is very common for big brands to learn from each other and fight each other. To differentiate the starter is to use a blue bottle.

Qili's formula ideas are the same as Red Bull's, the formula is based on the combination of protection and metabolism + refreshing + energy supplementation, and on this basis, Qili also has some of its own characteristics, such as the addition of D-glucosamine hydrochloride, this ingredient is for the elderly tendon and bone protection advertising common ammonia sugar, some health care products such as vitamin bone force what, one of the core elements is this ammonia sugar, of which Qili can contains 600mg of ammonia sugar, his role is to protect cartilage tissue, there is a certain practical effect.

Qili also did not mark the calorie and sugar content, after the mint query Qili can a can of total calories is 127.5 kcal, the sugar content of a can is 28g, calories and sugar are not low.

The taste of Qili is slightly closer to Thatri, but it has its own characteristics, adding some fruity flavor is one of the reasons, the more irritating taste is less than Red Bull, the taste is a little flat, some people feel that Qili is more fresh.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="103" > start force (bottled</h1>).

It is very strange that I can not search for this version of Qili on Jingdong Taobao, only to see a red bottle version but the ingredients are different, is this product also divided into offline and online styles?

Since the name is a drink, it will definitely make some adjustments, look at the formula table can see, remove the caffeine, only taurine, sodium and vitamin groups, but also a more normal sports drink.

The total calories reach a bottle of 117 kcal, and the sugar has 28g.

Slightly lighter than canned flavors, the sweetness is also heavier.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="112" > black card</h1>

The black card was a drink I bought by chance, and that time I was sleepy and bought it when I saw such a big bottle...

The full name of the black card is the black card 6 hours, which is an energy drink launched by Guangzhou Black Card Food and Beverage Co., Ltd. in 2010. The main theme is guaranain extracted from the seeds and pulp of guarana fruit, which is said to be better than caffeine, not physiologically toxic and addictive, and has a relatively adequate metabolism. Guarana is actually an ingredient close to caffeine, similar in function, but in the ingredient list, we can not see the black card has the specific content marked with guarana (the previous black card is the same), and even in the ingredient list we can see the presence of instant coffee powder, but there is no caffeine in the ingredient list, which I do not understand. Assuming that the black card contains ingredients with caffeine effects, the black card formula is also a combination of protection and metabolism promotion + refreshing + energy supplementation. The claw also contains guarana, and even says that Red Bull's caffeine is extracted from guarana, but we do not see these labels in the ingredient lists of these two products.

The capacity of the black card is 110 calories, the sugar content is 27g, it should be noted that the black card is 450ML capacity.

It is still the main taste of taurine, but after the combination of guarana and flavor, I feel a slight fruity taurine feeling, and I feel a little addicted to drinking it...

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="121" > warhorse</h1>

Warhorse Energy Vitamin Drink is a brand of independent research and development, production and sales launched by Reignwood FMCG Group in 2017. Contains instant coffee powder, D-ribose, taurine, to help drinkers quickly recover energy, it is said that the main market is after 00, IMHO this bottle color design I do not quite understand there is a point after 00?

See said independent research and development I am very interested in its composition list, first of all, a bottle of 147 calories will scare me, this is the test in the calories is relatively high, the sugar content also reached a 35g, more than the daily powdered sugar guidance. Then there is no caffeine, taurine, sodium and vitamin population, also belonging to the sports-oriented functional drinks.

kindness... How to say, the taste of taurine drinks plus sugar, it seems to be nothing.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="129" > summary</h1>

A table, I made a summary, everyone understands at a glance, blue is clearly marked with caffeine products, yellow is marked with no caffeine products, it needs to be explained that the claw, black card are products with guarana, the ingredient and caffeine have similar effects and structure, caffeine intolerance can try it first.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="131" how to drink >? </h1>

Red Bull normal type with caffeine, do not drink a few hours before bedtime, avoid sleep.

Products with little or no caffeine content such as Qili cans and Red Bull blue cans cans can be drunk at night, so as not to affect sleep at night.

And other non-caffeine-free such as the claw, you can usually exercise to drink, at night before exercise, the effect will be very good.

Qili bottles, war horses, etc. are completely caffeine-free, but they can drink when they are sleepy, and there is no restriction.

The above analysis is based on my own understanding, everyone work together to discuss, deficiencies and wrong places, welcome to give more guidance ~
