De hecho, su contribución de la energía es moderada, 45 calorías por cada cien mililitros. La OMS sugiere, por su composición y efectos, denomina a estas bebidas energeticas bebidas estimulantes.
Se parecen a cualquier refresco con las burbujas, puesto que comparten como los ingredientes básicos el agua carbónica y el azúcar. Su particularidad principal es que las que son “ bebidas energeticas ” incorporan el cafeína y vitaminas y en algunos casos, también agregan tauromaquia, el inositol, los minerales, el extracto del guaraná y otros componentes. Qué caracteriza a ellos más es la contribución de compuesto con efectos en el nivel metabólico.
La energía que contribuye viene de las azúcares simples (sacarosa, glucosa fructuosa o), que suponen entre el 11% y el 12% de su contenido, mientras que su contenido en grasa y proteína es nulo. Este el porcentaje localiza en el intervalo en el cual la absorción de estas azúcares es rápida, que pueden ser beneficiosas como fuente de energía y de líquidos si su ingestión ocurre durante la práctica de larga duración de los deportes.
Estas bebidas energeticas también contribuye las vitaminas y los minerales (electrólitos) en suficiente cantidad de modo que 100 mililitros de cubierta y en algunos casos se sobrepasa, la cantidad diaria recomendada (CDR) de un poco de vitamina, como el B6.

 

En otras vitaminas (C, B2, niacina…), incluso siendo más pequeña, la cantidad es muy apreciable. De todos modos, se distingue más a estas bebidas energeticas por su contenido del cafeína, que alcanza a los 340 mg/litro y que duplica a el que está de bebidas de los refrescantes cola aunque es equivalente a la de una taza de café.

Las bebidas energeticas

La cafeína estimula el sistema nervioso central y puede aumentar la producción muscular y aumentar el uso de ácidos grasos como el glicógeno del ahorro de la central eléctrica, planta de la alimentación principal durante la práctica del deporte. Explica que el comité olímpico el internacional define a la cafeína como sustancia del dopaje. Cafeína, además, induce sensaciones y alarmas del bienestar.

 

También las bebidas energeticas contienen la taurina y el teobromina, sustancias del efecto emocionante similares a la que está de cafeínain. Estas semillas también contienen la fibra vegetal, almidón, agua, dibujan la resina de, pectinas, el ácido del tánico y saponinas. El carácter grasiento de la semilla del guaraná y de las sustancias como el tánico ácido o las causas de los saponinas que la liberación del guaranina está hecha más lentamente que el que está de cafeína.

Otra sustancia de algunas de estas bebidas energeticas es la tauromaquia una, un aminoácido esencial condicional (nuestro organismo puede lo sintetiza, pero puede estar en la cantidad escasa) que participa en el metabolismo de las grasas que facilitan la absorción, transporta y uso de ácidos grasos con el propósito de la obtención de energía. Otras funciones se relacionan con la armadura muscular, razón por la que la tauromaquia una puede realmente ser interesante de algunos deportes.

Resumiendo, estas bebidas energeticas pueden causar los cambios metabólicos ocasionales que se alteran al uso de las reservas de la energía de nuestro organismo, aumentando el uso de grasas y ahorrando el glicógeno (forma para almacenar los hidratos del carbón), además del efecto que estimula del cafeína. No contribuyen mucha energía, pero algunos trabajos científicos indican que mejoran la producción del deporte y aumentan el nivel de la alarma de sus consumidores.

A variety of energy drinks are available; the skinny “bullet” can shape is popular.

Energy drinks are soft drinks advertised as being specifically designed to provide energy. Generally they include a combination of methylxanthines (including caffeine), B vitamins, and herbal ingredients. Other ingredients commonly include guarana (extracts from the guarana plant) or taurine plus various forms of ginseng, maltodextrin, inositol, carnitine, creatine, glucuronolactone and ginkgo biloba. Some contain high levels of sugar, while most brands also offer an artificially sweetened version. The central ingredient in most energy drinks is caffeine the same stimulant found in coffee or tea, often in the form of guarana (as in Josta, for example) or yerba mate.

The average 237 ml (8 fl. oz.) energy drink has about 80mg of caffeine, about the same amount as a weak cup of coffee, with 480 ml (16 fl. oz.) drinks containing around 150mg, although recent drinks have created a stir by containing as much as 300mg of caffeine. The amount of quantitative ‘energy’ (as measured in Calories) found in these drinks is often lower than that found in regular soft drinks[1] and currently there is no scientific basis for concluding that the non-caffeine elements in these drinks contribute to either short-term mental alertness or physical performance.[2]

These drinks are typically marketed to young people, and people ‘on the go.’ Approximately 65% percent of energy drink users are under the age of 35 years old, with males representing approximately 65% of the market.[3]

[edit] Side effects

Energy drinks may cause seizures in those who suffer from certain forms of epilepsy due to the “crash” following the energy high that occurs after consumption.[4] France has banned the popular energy drink Red Bull after the untimely death of eighteen-year-old athlete Ross Cooney, who died after he played a basketball game shortly after consuming four cans of the drink. The French Scientific Committee concluded that Red Bull has excessive amounts of caffeine. Denmark has also banned that particular drink. Britain also investigated the drink, but only issued a warning against its use by pregnant women.[5]

In addition to these complications, recent discoveries have linked excessive amounts of sugar found in energy drinks such as Rockstar, Hype, Monster, Cocaine, and Hulk to an increase in diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus in particular has seen an increase in energy drink consumers. Diabetes mellitus is caused by an excess of purines[citation needed] (caffeine and taurine, also sulfonic acid) which accumulate in the body and can not longer be processed by the kidneys. This leads to dumping of these proteins into the blood and urine, osmotic drainage of fluid, dehydration, damage to body and progression of diabetic symptoms[citation needed]. It may also cause nephrolithiasis.[citation needed]

In the United States, some states are cracking down on energy drink makers that have potentially hazardous ingredients, such as alcohol included in the mix[citation needed].

[edit] History

It may well have come from Scotland in the form of Irn-Bru, first produced in the form of “Iron Brew” in 1901. In Japan, the energy drink phenomenon dates at least as far back as the early 1960s, with the release of the Lipovitan. Most such products in Japan bear little resemblance to soft drinks, and are sold instead in small brown glass medicine bottles or cans styled to resemble such containers. These “genki drinks”, which are also produced in South Korea, are marketed primarily to the salaryman set, to help them work long hours, or to stay awake on the late commute home.

In UK, Lucozade Energy was originally introduced in 1929 as a hospital drink for “aiding the recovery;” in the early 1980s, it was promoted as an energy drink for “replenishing lost energy.”

In 1995, PepsiCo launched Josta, the first energy drink introduced by a major US beverage company.

In Europe, energy drinks were pioneered by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur who developed Red Bull based on the Thai drink Krating Daeng, itself based on Lipovitan. Red Bull was introduced to the US in 1997 and is the dominant brand there, with a market share of approximately 47%.[6]

By the year 2001, the US energy drink market had grown to nearly 8 billion per year in retail sales. Over the last 5 years, it grew an average of over 50% per year, totaling over $3 billion in 2005.[3] Diet energy drinks are growing at nearly twice that rate within the category, as are 16-ounce sized energy drinks. It is estimated to hit nearly 4 billion in 2006, and both Goldman Sachs and Mintel predict that the energy drink market will hit $10 billion by 2010. Major players such as Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Molson, and Labatt have tried to match the small companies’ innovative and different approach, with marginal success.

Energy drinks have also become popular as mixers. Many malt beverages such as Sparks, 3sum malt beverage and Max capitalize on the effects of caffeine while drinking alcohol.

[edit] Derivatives

Smart energy drinks combine energy drinks with smart drinks. Drinks such as SmartPower and NOS claim that their ingredients modulate how the brain neurochemistry reacts to caffeine, enhancing its positive effects and reducing side-effects.[citation needed]

“Hair of the Dog” brand Energy Drinks are intended to supply liver detoxifiers and anti-oxidants in order to neutralize the effects of alcohol on the body. The combination of detoxifiers was originally developed by doctors to aid cancer patients taking chemotherapy drugs to combat the harmful effects of the drugs have on the liver.[citation needed]

Hybrids of energy and sport drinks, containing electrolytes and herbal extracts such as RELOAD and Vault are also available.
