Energy drinks get results for bodybuilders and extreme athletes when fat burning, energy boost, and improvements in mental and cognitive performance are desired outcomes. The active ingredients and formulations vary product to product. Most energy drinks contain methylxanthines like caffeine and theobromine and other compounds that have been found by scientists to enhance fat burning, mental alertness, and physical performance. So let’s start with the methylxanthines, especially caffeine. Nearly all energy drinks contain caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant that affects alertness and mood. Caffeine is found in over 60 plants. So, you may find caffeine listed on an energy drink label under another name. Caffeine in the plant guarana is called guaranine. When found in the yerba mate plant it’s called mateine, and when found in tea it’s called theine. Theobromine, another methylxanthine, is the active ingredient in chocolate, and has a similar effect to caffeine. Another active ingredient in energy drinks is EgCG, a key nutrient in green tea. There is believed to be a synergistic effect between caffeine and EgCGs that increases metabolism and burns calories, so it’s a perfect addition to energy drinks to enhance fat burning. Ephedra and ephedra-like compounds are another class of active ingredients commonly found in energy drinks. Ephedra is derived from the ephedra sinica plant that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years; it has the stimulant and thermogenic properties that are useful in energy drinks. Other fat burners typically found in energy drinks are octopamine and yohimbine HCl. The compound octopamine is naturally-occurring compound, first found in the octopus, that increases metabolism and selectively encourage fat burning, not muscle catabolism. Extracted from the bark of a tree found in Africa, yohimbine HCl is comparable to octopamine in that it has a comparable effect on fat burning for athletes. There is a scientific basis for energy drink claims, and companies continue to discover new, potent, effective ingredients for energy drinks.
