Social Anxiety Support

b-6 and b-12 vitamins, magnesium, taurine, nician (or w/e its called). Sounds like all the vitamins used to help anxiety. Could I have possibly just found a gold mine here?

Yeah, it is a gold mine for the company making Red Bull. Energy drinks are a big scam, one can get all the benefits of an energy drink at a fraction of the cost using caffeine in coffee or caffeine supplements (and a multivitamin or even better a healthy diet for the vitamins and minerals).

You forgot to mention heart palpitations and high blood pressure. I'll stick to camomile tea.

Wow, I actually feel more chill when i have caffeine, that's probably because I'm pumping into my system every minute of the day except for when i'm sleeping... In fact, When I have a job interview, I'll chug a redbull right before I go in.... hmmmmm im sensing something is wrong here? hahah

For me, caffeine has little effect. With that said, I seem to be in a more positive mood after an energy drink. Also, I personally believe that all the negative hype against red bull is blown way out of proportions. Red bull has less sugar then an equivalent amount of orange juice. It has Vitamin B12, B6, Niacin, and Taurine, which all help to improve mood, stimulates your metabolism and gives you that boost in the morning in the same way coffee does. For those of you who have a negative reaction to caffeine, I can understand why you wouldn't drink it. Calling it a bad drink that kills you/your heart is a bit much. Its like saying don't enjoy a glass of wine because alcohol causes you to pass out and throw up everywhere. In moderation, its fine. Thats my take and I will continue to drink it. Just thought id share my experience with Red Bull.

I drink the sugar free one, I've tried basically every kind of energy drink, and I have to say Redbull is my favorite... If I drink the regular one, I'm like a little hyper kid, and I normally get twice as tired after it wears off.... The sugar free one, I'll have one in the morning and I'll normally feel great.... I use to stop at the gas station everyday before work and grab a 16 oz sugar free one... Always felt i was the most productive at work in the morning..

Yes caffeine will make you more anxious, the only thing I like about energy drinks with taurine in them is the taste.

Incidentally, taurine is also someone with the star sign taurus, which is represented by a bull, maybe that's why it is called Red Bull?

You shouldnt get anxious because of the caffeine content.
RedBull has 1/3 the caffeine content of a small coffee.

Red Bull 8.3oz. = 80Mg of caffeine

Starbucks Coffee 12oz = 260Mg of caffeine

Pepsi One 12oz. = 55Mg of caffeine
