Nutramist , Energy Drinks FAQ

1. Do these drinks really provide a 'boost' to physical and/or cognitive performance?

There is no doubt that caffeine is an effective stimulant and an aid to cognitive performance as it stimulates cardiac output and the central nervous system. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has banned its use above a certain level (as detected in the athlete's urine).

2. Do these high-caffeine energy drinks have the same effect as "sports drinks" when exercising? High-caffeine energy drinks do not have the same role to play in sports as sports drinks (i.e. carbohydrate/electrolyte solutions). Caffeine is a stimulant, so it provides a short sharp boost to performance. Also, the sugar in energy drinks is often quite high, much more so than in sports drinks. Too much sugar can slow absorption of water into the body, making energy drinks unsuitable as rehydration drinks during prolonged physical exercise.

3. Can energy drinks be used as a satisfactory meal replacement?

Although high-caffeine energy drinks do provide some energy (in the form of sugar) and vitamins (some brands), this does not mean that they constitute a suitable meal replacement. They contain very little protein or minerals, and no dietary fibre. They are 'drinks', not meal replacers.
