What began with the advent of Bull was born [3]. Red Bull in 1984 has evolved into a colossus of different brands Careful observation of any university library will reveal the claiming anything from sharpened mental acuity to enhanced undeniable popularity of iPods and Red Bulls – the arsenal for athletic performance. Austrian-born Red Bull founder and CEO the true titan of academic endeavor confronting a full night of Dietrich Mateschitz relies on the younger generation for his sales intellectual tribulation. Nevertheless, some conjecture whether base, exploiting the teenage drive for risk-taking and adventure Red Bull’s buzz serves only to distract the active mind in the using dramatic product names, draconian logos, and sponsorship same way that prolonged auditory stimulation seems to. The of extreme sporting events [1]. Predictably, a multitude of most immediate answer is given on the container itself, which competitors have followed suit, introducing similar concoctions specifically claims to improve performance in times of elevated with dicey names such as Cocaine, Dare Devil, Pimp Juice, stress or strain, increase endurance, increase reaction speed, and Venom, and Monster. However, none of the claims of enhanced stimulate metabolism [4]. Surprisingly, the only active ingredients performance have been qualified by the U.S. Food and Drug aside from water, sugar, and caffeine, are the amino acid taurine and Administration, thereby conjuring substantial criticism from the the carbohydrate glucuronolactone [3]. A series of past Japanese media and a variety of third-party organizations [2]. Yet at this studies on taurine had suggested cardiovascular benefits, further point in time, neither advocate nor critic speaks with certainty. convincing Mateschitz of its revitalizing properties. However, All things considered, the chronicles of Red Bull are more taurine is not an entirely unfamiliar biochemical intermediate of tenacious entrepreneurship than of science. However, the as some people might imagine. From a human physiological rationale behind its chemical formula reveals the potentially standpoint, taurine (2-aminoethanesulphonic acid, [NH2-CH2- medicinal properties of its components. While overseas as CH2-SO4]) is a major constituent of bile found in the lower a traveling toothpaste salesman, Mateschitz discovered the intestine [5]. Produced in the liver and brain, taurine plays an revitalizing effect of a syrupy tonic sold at local pharmacies in important role in the regulation of osmolarity, muscle contraction, Thailand. The mixture, composed of only water, sugar, caffeine, and neuroprotection [6]. While technically not considered an taurine, and the carbohydrate glucuronolactone, soon became a amino acid (it conspicuously lacks a carboxyl group), taurine is a mainstay remedy for his chronic jet-lag. After reading a financial derivative of the sulfhydryl amino acid cysteine, and it constitutes article listing the top ten taxpayers in Japan, he was surprised the only naturally-occurring sulfonic acid [7]. Human taurine to learn that a certain Mr. Taisho, who manufactured a similar synthesis occurs in the liver, although it is also naturally produced restorative beverage, was listed among the other entrepreneurs. in the testicles of numerous mammals, and urban legends suggest 6 Catalyst: Rice Undergraduate Science & Engineering Review Custom-Formatted Articles that the commercial sources of taurine are derived from bull Taurine is present in high concentrations throughout the urine and semen. Although taurine is found in both of these brain, and it has been hypothesized that ingesting taurine in sources, the pharmaceutical industry actually obtains taurine conjunction with caffeine improves concentration and reaction from isethionic acid, which in turn, is obtained from the reaction speed while also enhancing emotional status.

Many contain high levels of sugar, but many brands also glucuronolactone had positive effects on cerebral function. They offer artificially-sweetened “low-carb” versions. Nevertheless, the also conjectured that taurine might interact with GABAergic, primary ingredient in nearly all energy drinks is caffeine, of which glycinergic, cholinergic, and adrenergic neurotransmitter the average 16-fluid ounce serving contains 150 mg [2]. Little is systems. Nevertheless, they also agreed upon the possibility known about the health effects of taurine and glucuronolactone, that such findings on cognitive performance may have been other than the fact that the given quantities in stimulant drinks attributable solely to caffeine [12]. Unfortunately, none of the are several times higher than that of a normal diet [9]. above experiments examined the possibility that caffeine alone Nevertheless, taurine plays a major regulatory role within could have produced such results. It is widely known that caffeine the human body. Found in high concentrations in skeletal muscles, competitively inhibits adenosine receptors and thereby increases it functions in regulating myofibril contraction. It increases force cAMP concentration [13]. This blockade can free cholinergic generation by enhancing the accumulation and release of calcium neurons from inhibitory control, leading to pervasive excitatory ions within the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Increasing intracellular responses and the suppression of fatigue. These properties of taurine levels also augments the mean rate of increase in the force caffeine alone may explain the favorable cognitive and emotive response. It has been suggested that the balance of endogenous influences as demonstrated by the experiments [14]. myofibril taurine concentrations is critical for maintaining the Further refutation of the study by Seidl et al. stems from appropriate force output during muscle contraction. Muscle fibers the fact that sodium and chloride dependent taurine transporters possibly modulate their contractility by increasing the taurine exist in the BBB. The activity of these transporters is closely levels in response to neuronal inputs. Considering taurine’s regulated by transcription of the genes encoding them [16]. role in muscle contraction, it may appear that increasing blood Such transcription seems to be dependent on the degree of cell taurine concentration through dietary intake could enhance damage, osmolality, and level of taurine in the brain, thereby contractile force. However, considering that intracellular taurine suggesting that active expression of this gene serves as an acute concentration is tightly regulated [10], it remains unknown response to neuronal perturbance or crisis. Hence, it is intuitive whether an increase in taurine plasma that under normal non-ischemic levels following consumption would conditions, taurine levels within the have any noteworthy effect.

  • Energy Drinks: Harmful Or Helpful?
    ENERGY DRINKS: HARMFUL OR HELPFUL? Caffeine: An Overview If someone asked how much caffeine you consume each day could you give them an accurate answer? Manufacturers are not currently required to list the caffeine content of foods or beverages on nutrition labels, so it can be difficult to determine how much caffeine you have each day. Most of us know that excessive intake of caffeine may cause a racing heart rate and headaches, but did you know that it can also cause anxiety, increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, insomnia and, in extreme cases, nausea and vomiting (1)? People are sensitive to caffeine at all different levels, but the general guideline is to try to consume less than 300mg caffeine (equivalent to about 3, 8oz. cups of coffee) daily. Although some of these symptoms sound fairly miserable, the good news is that in small to moderate amounts, caffeine has actually been shown to increase concentration and mental alertness (2). To maximize the benefits of caffeine and minimize side effects, it is best to spread out your caffeine intake throughout the day. Large caffeine doses in short periods of time only add to an “energy boost” followed by a “crash”. Check out the Caffeine Ranges for Common Beverages table to get a better idea of what your average caffeine intake may be. Caffeine Ranges for Common Beverages* Beverage Serving Size Caffeine Range (mg) Coffee, drip 8 fluid oz. 104-192 Tea, brewed 8 fluid oz. 20-90 Iced Tea 8 fluid oz. 9-50 Soft Drinks 8 fluid oz. 20-40 Cocoa Beverage 8 fluid oz.

  • Part I: Analysis of Case 5 1
    Part I: Analysis of Case 5 1. What are the strategically relevant components of the global and U.S. beverage industry macro-environment? How do the economic characteristics of the alternative beverage segment of the industry differ from that of other beverage categories? Explain. Market size The beverage market is a large market with the worldwide total market for beverages in 2009 was $1,581.7 billion. The total sale of beverages during 2009 in the US was nearly 458.3 billion gallons; with 48.2 percent of industry sales was from carbonated soft drinks and 29.2 percent of bottle water industry sales. In 2009, the market segment of alternative beverage include sports drinks, flavored or enhanced water, and energy drinks made up 4.0 percent, 1.6 percent, and 1.2 percent of industry sales, respectively. The global market for alternative beverages in the same year was $40.2 billion (12.7 billion liters), while the value of the U.S market for alternative beverages stood at $17 billion (4.2 billion liters). Meanwhile, in Asia-Pacific region, the market for alternative beverages in 2009 was $12.7 billion (6.2 billion liters) and it was $9.1 billion (1.6 billion liters) in the European market. Market growth The dollar value of the global beverage industry had grown at a 2.6 percent annually between 2005 and 2009 and was forecasted to grow at a 2.3 percent between 2010 and 2014. However, this indicator for the alternative beverage industry was much higher. For example, the dollar value of the global market for alternative beverages grew at a 9.8 percent annually between 2005 and 2009, but was expected to slow down to 5.7 percent annually between 2010 and 2014.

    SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGE MARKETING UNVEILED VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 THE PRODUCT: A VARIED OFFERING TO RESPOND TO A SEGMENTED MARKET A Multidimensional Approach to Reduce the Appeal of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages This report is a central component of the project entitled “A Multidimensional Approach to Reducing the Appeal of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs)” launched by the Association pour la santé publique du Québec (ASPQ) and the Quebec Coalition on Weight-Related Problems (Weight Coalition) as part of the 2010 Innovation Strategy of the Public Health Agency of Canada on the theme of “Achieving Healthier Weights in Canada’s Communities”. This project is based on a major pan-Canadian partnership involving: • the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) • the Fédération du sport francophone de l’Alberta (FSFA) • the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) • the Université Laval • the Public Health Association of BC (PHABC) • the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA) The general aim of the project is to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by changing attitudes toward their use and improving the food environment by making healthy choices easier. To do so, the project takes a three-pronged approach: • The preparation of this report, which offers an analysis of the Canadian sugar-sweetened beverage market and the associated marketing strategies aimed at young people (Weight Coalition/Université Laval); • The dissemination of tools, research, knowledge and campaigns on marketing sugar-sweetened beverages (PHABC/OPHA/Weight Coalition); • The adaptation in Francophone Alberta (FSFA/RSEQ) of the Quebec project Gobes-tu ça?, encouraging young people to develop a more critical view of advertising in this industry.
